Adults Therapists in Westmount, QC

There are points in all our lives when we need outside help. Understanding your emotions and behaviors that are informed by past experiences and negatively affect your self-esteem and relationships with others is challenging. Often we want to change but don't know how. Developing a therapeutic alliance where you feel safe expressing and exploring all the parts of yourself- the good & the bad, is a valuable gift you can give to yourself. I value helping clients to explore the complexity of their beings, process pain, and use their struggles as opportunities for personal awakening and change.

Sometimes "expecting" is not what you expect! If you are thinking about having a baby, struggling to conceive, are pregnant or are within your first year postpartum and are concerned about your experience, I can help. Sometimes too and tragically, pregnancies don't always end with a happy outcome. Whichever situation you are facing, I can offer you both individualized support or in a group setting so that you don't feel alone and isolated in your current struggle. I work collaboratively with my clients and my style is very conversational. I want you to feel comfortable and at ease in coming to therapy.

I believe that it is a part of the human experience to struggle at times. I also believe that you don't have to struggle alone. Whether you are suffering from depression, anxiety, a recent loss of a loved one, family/relationship challenges, sexuality issues, trauma, or stress, I will gently and authentically support you in exploring your concerns in order to work through them. My goal is to help create a non-judgmental space for you to safely achieve the changes that you wish to make in your life.

I'm a clinical psychologist specialized in working with teens and young adults struggling with a range of issues including depression, anxiety, interpersonal difficulties, emotion regulation, self-harm, self-esteem, trauma, (etc). Seeking help takes courage. Finding the right therapist is a first step toward working on improving your wellbeing. Therapy provides a safe space in which to better understand yourself and your experiences, learn to deal with emotions, thoughts, behaviours or relationships in healthier ways, and develop personalized tools to better cope with any challenges.

Does it feel risky to have certain emotions, especially towards people you care about? Does frustration often lead to tears, self-criticism, or self-doubt? When triggered by someone in your life, do you experience anxiety? Do conflicts in relationships result in headaches, stomach issues, tension, or other forms of bodily distress? Or cause you to feel down or depressed? If any of these questions resonate with you, you're not alone. Over decades of practice, I've seen time and again that clients come to psychotherapy having suffered enough and possessing incredible potential for change. Change is possible, and therapy can help.

Is an important relationship causing you distress? Is it your partner? Your family? Your boss? YourSELF? "Something" is not working within you. Relationships are complicated and are hard to understand. In individual or couples therapy, our work together is to get to the root of your distress, your suffering. We will work to find meaningful, concrete and insightful solutions to better understand yourself and your patterns with others. We will work to either accept, let go or make NEW changes to improve your relationships with others or within yourSELF. The idea is to DO different so life is more meaningful and satisfying.

In my 18 years of working as a psychologist I have met with all types of people facing a myriad of challenges. What I have learned over the years is every one of us is doing our very best to get through life. Sometimes, we need help learning new ways to be our best selves. My goal in therapy is guiding people not just to survive, but to thrive. I will meet you where you are, and build from there. I like to teach skills that can be used long after therapy has ended. I focus not only on healing trauma and reducing symptoms, but I also help others find meaning and fulfillment in order to enjoy life again.

David Bernstein offers effective hypnotherapy and life coaching for anxiety, stress, weight, smoking, phobias, academic and sports performance, memory, insomnia, concentration, pain and any bad habit. Women and men alike attend David's weight and smoking clinics with equal effectiveness. As a certified Hockey Canada coach, David's experience with helping athletes get in and stay in the zone applies equally well to entire teams at all levels. As well, soothing relaxation sessions are just a phone call away. I do not offer psychotherapy services.

I think it's safe to say that we are all living through a moment of profound uncertainty, with heightened feelings of anxiety, depression and isolation. My hope is that, together, we can help you reclaim a sense of connection with yourself and your community, reconnect with experiences of joy and pleasure, and move through and integrate painful emotions and past experiences.

Apologies, I am not accepting new clients at the moment. I am driven to help you to understand yourself, find your inner resources and make important changes in your life. Confidentiality, empathy, empowerment, emotional support and unconditional positive regard are very important for my clients. I will tailor my approach to match your unique situation to maximize the effectiveness of each session.

As a trauma informed therapist I can work closely with you to uncover unresolved emotions and painful life events that may be blocking you from love, self expression and feeling that your needs are being met.

I provide a woman- centered approach to mental health, as a licensed psychologist and life coach, that is personalized to fit the needs and personality of each individual woman. Women's mental health may be affected by reproductive- related events (e.g., the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause). As such, the possible impact of biological factors need to be understood and incorporated in a holistic approach, that includes psychological, social, and cultural factors, for each woman to receive optimal treatment. Within this context I provide diagnostic evaluations, psychotherapy, and consultation for a wide variety of emotional, behavioral, and adjustment concerns.

Are you feeling anxious, depressed or simply just stuck? While we all go through up's and down's in our lives, if you are experiencing more down's than up's, I can help you gain a better understanding of what is getting you down. I will teach you how to identify and challenge the negative thoughts that are blocking you and will give you the tools that you need to feel truly empowered. I have seen my clients transform their lives and would be honored to have the opportunity to help you to do the same!

You're the master of your own journey. Sometimes life is exceptionally excruciating. When it is, it's okay to ask for help.

You deserve happiness, love, acceptance, and grace.

Hardships are a part of the human experience, but you do not have to struggle alone. I offer a safe space to be heard and supported, a place to grow and learn. I'm here to guide you to reflect on where you are and where you'd like to be. I hold an interest and expertise in working with BIPoC/racialized communities, specifically individuals of South Asian, North African, and Middle Eastern descent. As a first generation Canadian I have experience with carving an identity as a person of colour, and understand the challenges of navigating different cultural landscapes, familial expectations, and cultural stigma.

These difficult times take their toll on all of us. It is very important to be able to talk to a professional to prevent losing control of your emotions and being overwhelmed by anxieties.

Do you want to be a happy, calm, and confident person who thrives and succeeds? Allow yourself to follow that dream. Helping my clients succeed in their personal and professional relationships is my passion and life’s calling.

I have aided individuals, couples, and families in overcoming a variety of obstacles, such as depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and trauma-induced crises.
