Dementia Therapists in Montréal, QC
I mostly work with individuals who complain about their memory, attention or organization skills.
My passion is human cognition. My work is Neuropsychological Diagnosis and Interventions. I use neuropsychological testing to understand how my clients use their memory, their attention, their intellect, etc. In other words, I try to understand how you process information in order to help you better understand yourself. We can also develop strategies to optimize or compensate. My work is based on research and I keep up to date with new interventions. The length of our work may vary, depending on our goals.

My memory's not what it used to be - should I be worried? I can't seem to get organized and my family is frustrated with me - What's the problem and what can I do about it? Since the accident, I'm struggling at work - What's going on and how can I make things better? I've been wondering for a while now if I might be on the autism spectrum - Is it possible? These are the kinds of questions people ask me as a clinical neuropsychologist.

I have taken my experience working with the aging population both in psychotherapy and neuropsychological assessment and have developed a focus on Memory Wellness and training for adults of all ages (who do not have a memory disorder).
I have more than 20 years of experience in working with adult and geriatric patients in individual therapy. I feel comfortable working with a variety of issues, ranging from anxiety and depressive disorders to relational difficulties and trauma. I work from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) perspective, working together with you as a partner, using a relatively structured and directive approach. I use CBT techniques, such as stress management, cognitive restructuring, thought stopping and mindfulness training. I recognize that it can be difficult to open yourself up to therapy, and will be there to support and guide you.

Relationships. Day-to-day life. Loss & grief. These can be challenging, unsettling and isolating, but they don't have to feel this way. Are you in a new or established relationship, wondering why you're not feeling happy? Perhaps it's difficult to talk with or be heard by your partner and you keep having the same disagreements over and over again. Maybe you’re feeling stress and anxiety rather than calmness, peace, security and confidence. Have you experienced a life changing loss, and find yourself grasping for air beneath the depths and unpredictability of grief and sorrow? If you recognize yourself, you are at the right place.

Dementia Counsellors
Can dementia patients benefit from counselling?
Dementia patients can often benefit significantly from counselling. While neurologists typically treat dementia itself, counsellors provide crucial emotional support for patients and their families. Therapists specializing in dementia can help clients navigate aging, end-of-life issues, social isolation, sleep challenges, and grief. They can also assist clients in adapting to the disease by addressing caregiving concerns and supporting family members. Counsellors will often also collaborate with a patient's neurologist or other medical providers to manage dementia symptoms and medication needs.
How can you tell if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's?
To determine if someone has dementia or Alzheimer's disease, there are several signs and diagnostic methods that medical professionals use. Early signs of dementia often include memory loss, difficulty with problem-solving, and challenges in completing familiar tasks. Diagnosing dementia or Alzheimer's requires a comprehensive approach, as there is no single definitive test, and initial diagnosis can sometimes be difficult as symptoms tend to worsen progressively over time. To make a diagnosis, medical professionals typically use a combination of methods, including standardized questionnaires and cognitive tests to assess memory, attention, and problem-solving skills, psychiatric evaluations to understand mental health status, brain scans to look for physical changes in the brain, as well as other medical tests to rule out other conditions.
What are the first-line treatment options for Alzheimer’s disease?
There is no cure for Alzheimer's disease, but catching the disease in its early-to-moderate phases can be beneficial in order to initiate first-line treatments to help manage symptoms. Medications such as galantamine, rivastigmine, and donepezil are examples of cholinesterase inhibitors that are commonly prescribed for Alzheimer’s disease. In addition, working with a therapist or social worker can also often help patients with the disease address common behavioural and lifestyle concerns, such as anxiety, depression, irritability, sleep problems, social support, and housing changes.
When to seek treatment for Alzheimer’s?
It’s best to seek treatment at the first signs of Alzheimer's. Early warning signs of Alzheimer’s include memory problems, such as forgetting appointments or directions, as well as trouble concentrating, paying attention, retrieving words, and carrying out daily household tasks. An early diagnosis can help people slow the progression of the disease with medication and plan for the future in terms of housing, social/caregiving support, and finances.
