Family Therapy in Quebec

Everyone struggles at times. I want to help you to get along better and be happier - whether that is with yourself, your partner(s), at work or with your family. My priority is to create a safe space for you to explore your concerns. We will proceed at your pace and I will carry the hard parts with you so you don't have to feel alone or overwhelmed. We will work together to make the changes you want to make. My theoretical orientation is a combination of several theories of counselling, including Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavior Therapy

My personal passion is working with youth and young adults who want support in making changes in their lives. Additionally, working with adults who want to put ideas into action. From relationship obstacles to finding your voice, I aim to provide a supportive environment based on accountability and responsibility.

I assist clients from 16 and up, who are facing personal challenges due to stress, mental challenges, interpersonal conflicts, grief, burn out, postpartum or any reproductive mental health issues. I also assist couple and families who want to work on their relational dynamic. I guide them into developing concrete skills and tools to improve their functional, psychological and emotional well-being.

I am a licensed couple and family therapist and psychotherapist. In 2019, I was the recipient of the clinical excellence award for couple and family therapy from McGill University. I received a Master's in psychology in 2009. My area of focus is on helping people understand their relationship patterns and helping them build more meaningful and stable connections with others. I understand that right now you may feel that as though you have too much on your plate and that you are struggling to balance all of life's demands. Many people do not take the time to focus on themselves and invest in their emotional well- being.

Welcome to Elevate Psychotherapy and Wellness Clinic. We are a team of experienced mental health professionals from different disciplines committed to delivering unparalleled psychological evaluations and care. Our knowledgeable and skilled practitioners, including psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, neuropsychologists and social workers, are passionate about cultivating a space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood. Together you will explore new ways of interacting with yourself, others, and the world, and develop skills to make meaningful change.

I am a social worker, couple and family therapist, and psychotherapist. Using an attachment lens, I draw on an array of psychotherapeutic practices to support clients in enhancing their relational health, emotional wellbeing, and ability to find safety in close adult relationships, including emotionally focused, trauma-informed/focused, and systemic approaches. My work is grounded in a commitment to social justice, and I seek to foster a compassionate environment for all my clients while recognizing how broader systems of power impact our lives and filter into our relationships.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious, even overwhelmed? Are you having conflicts in your personal relationships, with family, or in the workplace? Therapy can help sort through the issues, and help make sense of some of the symptoms you may be having, and the patterns which keep repeating. I use a psycho dynamic approach, through a lens of systemic training, and attachment theory. I have extensive experience working with clients suffering from anxiety and depression, and who struggle with communication/relational issues.

Oct. 11, 2023: Accepting 5 new clients as of today!. Hi, I'm Dr. Mary, clinical psychologist in practice for 25 years. I work with anxiety, panic, depression, childhood adverse events/developmental trauma, burnout, divorce, family and childhood issues, neglect/abuse, relationship issues, stress, parenting struggles and more. I work in a practical, solution-focused, no-nonsense way to lead to progress as quickly as possible. I draw from a variety of therapy approaches depending on the problem at hand, and each person's needs.

I work with individuals, couples, and families.

Are you feeling stressed, anxious or overwhelmed? Have you been finding it difficult to manage your emotions effectively and take steps toward meaningful change? I've worked with individuals of all age groups struggling with feelings of anxiety and depression. I welcome clients facing challenges related to self-esteem, attachment or family issues, emotion regulation, addictive or impulsive behaviours, communication, parenting, pre/postpartum issues, as well as career burnout and transitions.

Do you struggle with feeling like you are constantly in survival mode? Do you feel like you somehow manage to get through your day to day but are constantly feeling exhausted, anxious, or depressed? Do you sometimes feel that you do not know who you are outside of your daily responsibilities? Do you feel like you are unable to cope or use unhealthy coping skills to get by? Do you wish that you can go from surviving to actually living? If you have answered yes to one or more of these questions, you are one of the many people whom, in today’s society, struggle to find healthy balance.

Are you the parent of a spirited toddler and are struggling with frequent or intense tantrums? Are you worried that your child might hurt themselves when they are upset or that they might be struggling with anxiety? Are you feeling exhausted because everything seems to be a battle from getting dressed in the morning to bedtime? Are you finding yourself resorting to bribes and threats to get anything accomplished? Do you sometimes end up yelling when nothing else seems to work and are left feeling guilty?

Hello, I am glad you're here. I hope that you find what you’re looking for and, if you feel comfortable, perhaps I can lend you a helping hand along the way. I believe that nurturing a deeper understanding of ourselves, others, and the contexts that we live in; recognizing the parts that we can and cannot change; and grieving what we should have received but didn't, can allow us more meaning and contentment as we move in life. I hope to accompany you in your process, whether you feel stuck in repeating patterns, are facing difficult situations, and/or are trying to find balance and fulfillment in the various roles you hold.

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.

Whether it's a new baby, the loss of a loved one, a betrayal, tension in relationships, or a recent relocation... sometimes we lose our footing. You may find that your usual coping tools are no longer bringing you the same relief. Unlike blogs and books that offer one-size-fits-all advice, or unlike your friends and family who mean well, but are too emotionally-invested to give you clear guidance, I offer you effective tools, unique to your needs and situation, in a non-judgmental and safe space. I’m a bilingual (English & French) somatic psychotherapist and Marriage and Family Therapist licensed in Quebec, Colorado and California.

My aim is to listen to my patients and provide proactive care that will help them reach balance and inner peace.

My specialties are anxiety, depression, OCD, stress and anger management, couples therapy, addiction, chronic pain, emotional disturbance, self-esteem, family conflicts and anxiety . As a fully licensed Psychologist (permit granted by the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec) I can issue receipts to those with insurance for full or partial reimbursement.

Throughout my work experience as a family counselor, university lecturer and currently as a life coach, I have always been amazed to observe the ability of individuals in recognizing and resolving their own problems if they receive guidance and strategies based on their own values. I have a humanistic and person-centered approach. My main objective is to help you gain a deeper insight into your reality and have a better understanding of your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. I will also provide you with different tools and techniques needed to tackle personal, family or social challenges that you might be facing at the moment.
