Self Esteem Therapists in Montréal, QC

Welcome! I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental, and collaborative therapeutic environment to both couples and individuals. I'll work with you to more effectively respond to challenges and difficulties in your life and relationships, and to more consciously build the kind of life that is meaningful to you. If you're struggling with difficult thoughts and feelings, if you feel overwhelmed, unsure, disconnected, or lost, if you seek self-understanding or more meaningful participation in your relationship(s) or life in general, please reach out.

As a clinical Social Worker and licensed Psychotherapist, I have been providing therapeutic intervention for over 30-years in the greater Montreal area. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and adults. My expertise is in working with individuals and those closest to them suffering from addiction, as well as those dealing with problems associated with anxiety, relationships, depression and other related areas. I work with individuals, those who support them and groups, and use an eclectic approach to customize my techniques to best fit your individual needs.

Over the course of 15 years working in the community sector I have had the pleasure of working with people from many diverse communities, be they BIPOC, on a fixed-income, LGBTQIA2S+, or diagnosed with a disability. I believe that everyone, regardless of their circumstance, deserves the opportunity to be heard. My hope is that by providing a supportive space you will have the opportunity to heal yourself and your relationships with your family and community.

Your relationships can be an incredible source of pleasure and connection, AND they can be the biggest source of tension and exhaustion. You might feel rigid and uncreative, or be falling into people-pleasing habits. You may feel overwhelming physical sensations of constriction, pain or numbness. You play a vast range of roles in your friendships, romantic & intimate dynamics, and at work. This can be a lot to handle, and you may be masking your authentic self. Creative arts therapy can offer new ways to find playfulness so you can relax into intimacy in your relationships, your body, and fully own the stories that shape you.

Nous faisons tous face, à un moment de notre vie, à des périodes difficiles où la souffrance et les questionnements nous appellent à solliciter une aide extérieure. En tant qu'art-thérapeute, je vous accueille dans un espace sécuritaire, bienveillant et exempt de jugement, où il est possible de vous exprimer librement afin de revenir à vous-même et de trouver votre voie créative vers le mieux-être. Ancrée dans les valeurs humanistes, mon approche sensible et empathique est centrée sur la personne. Elle vise à vous soutenir dans une démarche vous permettant d’exprimer votre vécu unique et d’accéder à vos ressources personnelles.

Are you anxious, depressed, or struggling to really feel connected to yourself? Do your emotions feel too intense? Are old patterns or past experiences holding you back or negatively influencing how you deal with situations in the present? In therapy, you can have a space to express yourself and to gain clarity on your thoughts and emotions. Together we can explore aspects of your reality that are harder to define and that go beyond what you already know and can explain about yourself. This can lead you to that exciting place where new insights and self-awareness emerge, and change can happen in your life.

Sometimes words are not enough. As a music therapist, I bring music-making and listening to the therapy room, facilitating individuals in expressing themselves creatively, developing new coping skills, and reconnecting with their authentic selves. Each session, whether it involves listening to music, improvisation on instruments, or engaging in songwriting, is tailored to the specific needs and strengths presented by my clients. I actively listen and provide support to participants, by playing my own music and through verbal reflections. No musical training is required to participate in music therapy.

At the heart of my practice is an enduring commitment to provide a genuine, warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you can feel supported and heard. Whether you are facing difficulties as an individual, couple, family, or relational system, I will offer you a caring environment where your strengths will be emphasized and where, together, we can explore meaning making to bring about change.

I'm a queer bilingual clinical social worker and psychotherapist with a background in working with 2slgbtqia+ people, migrants, and survivors of violence during the last 14 years in Tiohtià:ke (Montréal). I've supported people struggling with questions around gender and sexuality, coming out, transitioning (I can provide assessments for gender affirming care), relationship difficulties, non-monogamy, trauma, stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and grief. My approach is intersectional, anti-racist, trauma-informed, and based in harm reduction.

I am a mental health counsellor who specializes in a wide range of issues in adults, including addiction. I have worked in the public sector for over 10 years, in outpatient and inpatient settings, and have been in private practice for 4 years. My sessions are client-centered, drawing from dialectical behavioural therapy (DBT) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).

I believe that counselling is a collaboration, and that the stories we all create as we go through life can be explored, challenged and enriched in the therapeutic space. As we uncover the elements of your story together, we’ll get curious about what’s been hindering as well as supporting you—all while finding a path forward that keeps your core values at the center of our practice.

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? Are you struggling with attachment difficulties, codependent or counter-dependence? A strong inner-critic? I'm here to help you navigate these challenges and create meaningful change in your life. In our sessions, I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental environment where you can explore your emotions, thoughts, and experiences freely. I aim to empower you in navigating your unique circumstances.

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.
