Would you like to stand in your power, be more in control of your life? To solve a problem, Einstein said you must first change the mindset that created it. It starts “within” you! Having worked with thousands of clients over 18 years, I’ve observed that we have 2 voices in our head - the conscious and subconscious minds. When your 2 voices don't get along, it feels like a battle is raging within, and it’s this gap that causes your anxiety, depression, fears, and emotional struggles; but when your 2 voices align in harmony, you experience inner strength, joy, passion, your TrueSelf, and feel energized in the pursuit of your desires.
"Self-parenting" provides guidance and training in recognizing and responding to some of our greatest needs: to boost our sense of respect for ourselves as unique individuals, and to free ourselves from counter-productive thinking and self-sabotaging emotions.
Training also involves such skills as:
distress tolerance, emotional regulation, grounding, self-soothing, confidence-building and performance enhancment.
The group is primarily attended by participants who are generaly comfortable with their overall functioning, but are looking to develop their capacities to more sucessfully deal with personal, professional, relationship or work or sports-related objectives or challenges.

The heart of great therapy starts with creating a sense of safety and comfort - and being offered the opportunity to express, understand and gain mastery over one's thoughts, feelings and behavior. There is genuine respect for the person's or couple's inherent strengths and capacities to engage in a process of change and growth. A mutual, clear understanding of the difficulties and challenges as well as the motivations, goals and expectations of the client guides the development and achievement of realistic, coherent and obtainable treatment goals - as well as greater functionality, well-being, performance and emotional stamina.
Wellness Art Therapy drop-in group sessions are a great opportunity for clients to explore and express their emotional inner world through art, fostering a sense of community, support and healing. The group enables participants to relate and connect through the arts, providing a sense of validation, understanding and shared growth. Art therapy might incorporate exercises aimed at developing coping skills, stress reduction techniques, or mindfulness practices through creative means. After creating art, group members have the opportunity to share their work and discuss their thoughts and feelings in a supportive atmosphere, fostering the sense "being seen and being held"

Hello, radiant soul! I am an Art Therapist with a Social Work background. I specialize in trauma and I work with children, adults and families to help them recognize and affirm their resilience and resources. I aim to offer a safe haven for self-discovery and transformation through creative arts. I see humans as the artists of their lives, who use a unique pallet to distinguish and define them. I am a guest on their inner journey, helping them to navigate their emotions, memories, and identities that shape their whole person. My role is to support my clients to find creative paths to heal, repair and develop better coping skills.
In art therapy group, participants use artistic expression as a therapeutic tool to explore their emotions, improve mental well-being, and address personal challenges. The process of creating art—whether through painting, drawing, or sculpting—enables individuals to visualize and confront feelings that may be difficult to articulate verbally. By focusing on art making rather than the final product, participants can engage with their emotions in a non-threatening way, which can lead to greater self-awareness and insight into their personal struggles and foster a supportive environment where individuals can freely express themselves and develop new coping strategies.

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.

clinique entourfamille(TM) is a multi-disciplinary private clinic that supports children and their families by providing guidance and solutions for developmental, social and academic growth. With a focus on the overall well-being of children and adolescents, our team of caring and highly qualified professionals addresses communication, behavioral, social, motor, psychological, sensory processing and academic skills.
These groups are based on work that I originally did at The Royal Academy of Music in London (U.K.).
The objective is to assist participants in both the awareness of and the expression of their creative capacities - whether they are currently working professionally, would like to do so, or simply want to deepen the level of creativity in their daily lives.
Attention is paid to to "blocks" in the creative process and the capacity for self-expression. Emphasis is placed on the development of a more tangible sense of self (selves!), & responding to self-defeating thoughts, feelings
and attitudes.

The hope of this group is to provide you an opportunity to share your pain, grief story and journey. Reminding one another of our shared humanity, the value of listening, and to weave into the fabric of our culture the understanding that everyone’s story matters and that death is very much a part of life. This group is about YOU, your time and space to share your story in a safe and non-judgemental environment. Confidentiality is of utmost importance. This group is not a therapy group but a peer support group, not intended to replace any medical advice.

I am a doctoral student, certified in Grief/Bereavement education by ADEC and by CCPA with a CCC. I work from a strength based, person-centered approach and believe that each individual is the expert of their own life. Having experienced first-hand the physical, emotional and mental stress and anxiety brought on by illness and disease such as cancer, and related losses, my devotion/passion lies in walking with you through what is a turbulent journey, one that does not need to be faced alone. I have completed my Master of Counselling and field practicum under the supervision of Dr. Bassam Khoury (www.drkhoury-montrealtherapist.com).
I offer a FREE "Music for Mental Health" Support Group in collaboration with the Black Community Resource Center of Montreal (BCRC). The BCRC is a non-profit organization supporting English-speaking visible minorities in Montreal with an emphasis on members of the Black Community. This is a 4-week ZOOM series with two goals: 1) To foster safe and healthy connections within the group as we share and experience music together. 2) To explore how engaging with music can support mental health in daily life. The next group begins on March 9th, 2024.

Do you struggle with emotional pain and grief that you would like to process through music? I work with adults experiencing grief and loss, bereavement, life transitions, emotional pain, anxiety, depression, and stress. I use music therapy to help my clients increase self-awareness, ease pain, develop self-soothing techniques, and restore well-being. We will harness your natural love of music to create personal transformation. Music Therapy is a certified profession. I completed a masters degree with a focus on music therapy for psychological health, and my approach is trauma-informed.
