Find a Therapist in Montebello, Quebec.

I use the word "Psyche" with my clients to describe how they have a perturbance in their everyday life-style which prevents them from having a normal life. Hippocrates believed (and I do too) that when someone is out of touch with the world around them then it makes sense that there would be a perturbance to symbolize to them that corrective action is necessary. In that sense the perturbance is a good thing because it delivers a message to get back in touch with the Psyche, or the whole field, that we live in. I teach my clients that self-sabotage is actually our Psyche diligently attempting to signal us to get back in touch with ourselves. In a sense accidents are not really accidents.

Do you feel stuck, isolated or unfilled in some aspect of your life? I may be able to help you; I work to support clients in rediscovering their own unique inner resources allowing you to move towards comfort, fulfilment, or other experiences you are desire more of in your life. I support a wide-range of clients facing a variety of issues; difficulty making decisions, disordered eating, relationship challenges, persistent pain ('chronic pain') losses or life transitions are just a few of the issues I help my clients move through. You set the pace and focus for outwork together and I will support you in moving towards YOUR desired outcomes.

I'm registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario as a Clinical and Counselling Psychological Associate. I work with adults and couples and am able to accept all insurance benefits, and can diagnose. I use an integrated psychotherapeutic approach bringing together techniques from many effective and validated therapies including cognitive behavioural, object relations, emotion-focused, and solution-focused resulting in a very understanding, knowledgeable and effective approach.

Psychotherapy is the treatment of mental health problems through a collaborative relationship between an individual and their psychologist. Through psychotherapy, an individual learns about their thoughts, behaviors, feelings, moods and overall condition by talking to a psychologist about them. At Valiant Recovery, our psychotherapy methods are aimed at discovering the underlying issues that spawn addiction and substance abuse, such as grief, trauma and mental illness. All of our therapists have masters degrees in social work or counseling, as well as extensive experience treating addiction and substance abuse disorders.
