EMDR Therapists in Laval, QC

If today seems like an interminable day, and sets the stage for a profound apprehension for tomorrow, whether individually, within your couple or your family; it is maybe time to consult. Whomever you choose, be sure to be comfortable and feel safe. If you are interested in someone who has a compassionate ear and a reassuring expertise, perhaps we could work collaboratively at finding ways to foster harmony, confidence and peace for you and your close ones. Trained as Couple and Family Therapist at Syracuse University, I work as much with couples, families as individuals.

I work with clients who are motivated to explore their life's challenges and together, we build a strong alliance in order to try different approaches and strategies in our sessions. I believe in finding what skills and approaches work for the individual, and using a combination of mind-body approaches as it is all connected and we can learn and understand so much about ourselves through our bodies and the messages they give us.

Some people say life is too short, and for others, it feels excessively long. Over time, we collect a series of traumas and difficulties, and these experiences can shape our inner narrative and impact our mental health. Your life journey is unique and you know your story best, which is why collaboration is an essential part of my practice. Together, we'll establish realistic goals that will improve your wellbeing and that will foster healing. Specializing in adult and adolescent therapy, I offer client-centred and trauma-informed support for a variety of challenges, with a focus on anxiety, depression, and eating disorders.

Hi and welcome! Recognizing that one size does not fit all, I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches (CBT, Mindfulness, Systemic and Humanistic) to ensure the support I provide is tailored to meet your specific needs and goals. Together, we'll explore these approaches to find what resonates best with you, empowering you to make meaningful progress towards a healthier, happier life. Over the course of my career, I have worked with individuals of varying backgrounds, identities, presenting problems and levels of functioning. To name a few, anxiety, depression, substance use, ASD, trauma, ADHD and relational challenges.

Throughout our sessions, I strive to create an environment of compassion, acceptance, and present moment awareness. I don't see myself as fundamentally different from the client, but rather as someone who can bring a fresh perspective to their situation. I believe that the client and I are both climbing our own mountains, and I can use my vantage point to identify obstacles on their mountain that they may not be aware of. In therapy, every struggle is important, and no one's pain is greater or less than another's. Together, we can then find new ways to navigate these obstacles and chart a new course towards a more fulfilling life.

Hi and welcome. We are a group of Trauma Therapists who have devoted our practice to working holistically with those who wish to free themselves from the grips of past pain and return to states of safety, peace and connection.

Andrea Offers services in both Alberta and Quebec. For the past 18 years, Andrea has been working with individuals dealing with an array of personal issues.

Andrea Matheson provides telehealth services in both Alberta and Quebec, Canada.

Navigating life can be challenging, considering suffering and uncertainty are central to the human experience. In efforts to feel happier, we tend to deny our pain, hoping it will eventually go away. It may be efficient for a while, but ultimately this prevents us from showing up authentically in our relationships and experiencing the very thing we want most: inner peace, confidence, connection and belonging. The good news is these challenges make us human, they are not uncommon, and you have what it takes to create the life you crave. It simply requires following your intuition and getting the support you need.

There is nothing that motivates me more than seeking to understand a human being and mirroring back that image. I can help you reconsider key past events and current challenges interfering with your personal growth. I work well with clients who are eager for change and seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. As a therapist, I believe we are here to become more and more of ourselves. I exhibit a creative and open-minded approach focused on facilitating your engagement towards healing. The different types of concerns I specialize in helping people address include: trauma, life transitions, relationships, anxiety and depression.

Whether you are struggling with a long-standing issue or are in acute distress, you will find me to be an empathetic counsellor who will take the time to learn about your particular story in order to best support you. No two people or two situations are alike and therapy must similarly be tailored to the individual's needs. I will do this by first meeting you where you are and working at your pace to move in the direction you see for yourself. In the process, you will develop alternate perspectives and learn techniques to challenge self-defeating thoughts or behaviours that hold you back from living authentically.

I have been in full time private practice for over thirty years and I have expertise in treating a large variety of problems. I work with both individuals and couples and specialize in depression and anxiety as well as in helping people cope with life transitions and relationship issues. In treating anxiety I use cognitive-behavioural techniques including relaxation therapy. In treating depression I focus on altering negative thinking patterns and offering support and strategies to change behaviours. I also have a great deal of experience in helping patients with burnout and other work related issues.

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.

Life can be exceptionally excruciating. Over time, we collect many wounds and traumas. I work with clients who have mood disorders, anxiety disorders, grief, and other trauma-related issues. Whether you're dealing with new losses (let's not forget old losses that still feel fresh), life transitions, or you don't know how to take a step forward, we can do this together. My speciality is in mental health, PTSD, and BPD. I also have advanced training in EMDR and complex trauma.
