Therapists in Montréal, QC

I have 20+ years of experience working with individuals suffering from alcohol and drug dependence and psychological problems including gambling, borderline personality disorder, anxiety and mood disorders. Until 2022 I was a staff member at the Addictions Unit of the McGill University Health Centre. I use a variety of motivational and psychological approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for individuals, couples and groups. Mindfulness-Integrated CBT techniques are particularly useful for the treatment of individuals recovering from substance dependence.

Over time, experiences are written into our minds and bodies, and can keep us feeling stuck in patterns of thinking, behaving, and relating that no longer serve us. In therapy we can work together to unfurl these stories; finding freedom from automatic responses, and illuminating pathways to healing that are in line with your goals and values. I work with adults and older teens experiencing anxiety, overwhelm, low self-esteem, relationship challenges, emotional dysregulation & more. I provide unconditional support, honest feedback, and gentle guidance to help you process your experiences, develop insights, and create lasting change.

What would it feel like to share a space with someone that is giving you their undivided attention? A space without judgement, only curiosity about your story and who you are. It may be an unfamiliar image. All you need to do is show up and be whoever you need to be. I will offer you that space, and meet you where you're at. It can be frustrating not to understand why we are doing something that has undesirable results. It can be difficult to change a behavior that has an unknown cause. Maybe you are confused about how you are feeling or who you are. Whatever it is, I will hear you.

We, as human beings, all face difficult times during our lives. These phases can leave us feeling out of control and isolated. The simple act of choosing change in your life can help you to feel empowered and on a path to a greater sense of well-being. As an integrative therapist (using cognitive behavioral, supportive, interpersonal and existential techniques), I will first help you to define your goals and then support you as you work towards achieving them. Using those techniques that best suit your particular needs and styles, we will effectively create a New Therapy tailored specifically for you.

Therapy holds a delicate balance: supportive yet challenging, welcoming yet daring. It's a collaborative journey where two individuals embark on a mutual exploration of the self. Dedicated to guiding you toward self-discovery and personal growth, my approach integrates mindfulness techniques, trauma-informed practices, and strategies for emotional regulation. Drawing from a rich community and clinical social work background and extensive psychiatric expertise, I am committed to assisting individuals on their path to wholehearted wellness.

Hello there! It's amazing that you're considering seeking support. Struggle to cope with your feelings? Ever wish you had a clearer sense of what you really need and where you want to go in life?

Art making acts as a therapeutic tool to support clients in exploring their creativity and finding new ways to express themselves and their experiences.

I specialize in treating adolescents and adults with eating disorders and other challenges that they may experience. I use an integrative approach in psychotherapy, combining the principles of the psychodynamic current, centered on the understanding of which antecedent experiences and influences affect our present feelings and our relationships with others, and a humanist approach, encouraging each person to draw on their resources and creativity. It feels important for me to respect the rhythm and needs of each person and to provide a caring space.

Hi! I'm Jodie-Ann (they/them). I'm a Black queer social worker and community organizer based in Tio'tia:ke (aka Montreal, Quebec). Sometimes we have had experiences in life that can feel heavy, and they bring up emotions that can stay with us and overwhelm us. This can feel exhausting as it impacts our daily lives and our current relationships, and sometimes we can't understand why. With support, those experiences can be explored and worked through, creating space for the emotions that can often feel trapped.

Sometimes we only need to be listened by a third objective party, other times we need to brainstorm and problem solve. In any case, I am here without prejudice to guide you through your journey.

Over the years as a helping professional I realized that people care less about clever language and elaborate techniques and more about receiving sincere love and compassion, living hope and courage, honest feedback, and new perspectives. What proved to help is having the mutual trust to explore and work on intimate, sometimes painful topics, step-by-step. Together, we invite your strengths and natural wisdom to take the steering wheel of your life, letting go of the grasp of your fears and limiting self-beliefs. Together, we also help you chose and create new habits towards a better ways of being.

I have several decades of experience in assessing and treating individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, interpersonal issues or coping with chronic diseases (e.g., cancer). My background is not only as a clinician in private practice, but as a former Chief Psychologist at a large university teaching hospital, researcher and professor. My extensive experience provides me with a wide-base of understanding of what works for whom and what does not.

I have been working with mood related conditions (anxiety, depression, bipolar, obsessive and compulsive thoughts and behaviours, impulsivity) since 2018. I specialize in identity related issues including but not exclusively gender and transitioning related difficulties. The context of my specializing studies have been family and couple related difficulties including cultural and religion related and romantic and intimate relationship dynamics including infidelity and attachment. Even though I am not an expert on trauma (immigration related, war, assault, bullying, ...) traumatic experiences have often been part of my work.

Change is a process and working towards change takes courage. Through a collaborative approach, we will work together to help make these changes happen. I can provide you with a confidential and safe environment that will support you in addressing your concerns. Together we will identify the areas in need of change and develop a plan to do so. I will offer you guidance, support and the tools needed to bring your life into balance.

Authentic communication means knowing yourself, your needs, boundaries and patterns, and expressing them responsibly and with love. People who see me want to see how their repetitive, harmful patterns have held them back from getting their needs met. Together, working on self-esteem, relationships, patterns, and communication skills can lead to lasting change in your life. You have the capacity to grow, to heal from whatever may be holding you back and to connect with your happiest self simply by truly being You. Self-acceptance, love and taking responsibility for yourself and your needs allow you to be HAPPY.

People seek help for specific reasons such as eating disorders, psycho-somatic conditions, obsessional behaviour, or phobic anxieties. At other times help is sought because of more general underlying feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulties in concentrating, dissatisfaction in work or inability to form satisfactory relationships. We believe in a mind-body connection so that improvements in psychological well-being translate into physical vitality. The benefits of our psychotherapy and counselling work include self-insight, inner fulfillment, raised self-esteem, a positive outlook and improved relationships.
