Personality Disorders Therapists in Montréal, QC

The poem, The Imaginary Career (by Rainer Maria Rilke), illustrates exquisitely our human condition. To quote: "At first a childhood, limitless and free" only to become "Defiance- The child bent becomes the bender". To live in that ".. vast, cold empty space, alone" is a very painful place to find oneself. I am here to join with that person in the "empty space" so that they can understand themselves and heal.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist, working with adults and teens (16+) providing individual therapy. My areas of expertise include treatments for depression, anxiety, emotion regulation, personality disorders, and stress management.

avenuepsy.com / Email only please! - Hi! My name is Celestine. I am a bilingual, registered psychologist and I am the co-owner of Avenue Psychology in NDG. Having worked for nearly 5 years in federal prisons, I specialize in trauma, the treatment of deviant behaviour, criminal psychology and personality disorders. My practice focuses on building a strong, trusting relationship with the client and exploring all issues that arise. More specifically, I enjoy treating PTSD and complex-PTSD with a tailored approach for each client.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience. I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, personality disorders, and A.D.H.D. I use a caring, non-judgmental approach to help my clients feel and understand the meaning of their emotions and behavior. I offer clients an opportunity to explore their inner world, understand their difficulties clearly, deepen self-awareness and to make sense of their experiences. I work together with my clients to remove barriers to growth and help them achieve their potential and have deeper more meaningful connections with others as well as with themselves.

I specialize in long-term psychoanalytic psychotherapy for adults and teens with depression and anxiety issues, as well as borderline, antisocial, and narcissistic personality disorders that other therapists may be unwilling to treat. People with psychosis are also invited to reach out. This therapy is for people who are stuck in patterns of stagnation or self-destruction that they feel they cannot control, as well as for people looking to get to know themselves in a new way.

I have spent my professional life working with individuals suffering from mental health issues. I am interested in helping to cultivate conditions that promote recovery.

I have 20+ years of experience working with individuals suffering from alcohol and drug dependence and psychological problems including gambling, borderline personality disorder, anxiety and mood disorders. Until 2022 I was a staff member at the Addictions Unit of the McGill University Health Centre. I use a variety of motivational and psychological approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for individuals, couples and groups. Mindfulness-Integrated CBT techniques are particularly useful for the treatment of individuals recovering from substance dependence.

There are increasing psychological problems which do not meet traditional psychiatric disorders but concern developmental 'family-of-origin' attachment dynamics, impacting adult functioning-regarding work, intimacy and creativity. Although external factors are often rather 'real' and painful- self justification, rationalization and avoidance/denial often defeat heartfelt goals, dreams, desires and unique potential regarding school/work, intimacy, creativity and future possibilities.

People seek help for specific reasons such as eating disorders, psycho-somatic conditions, obsessional behaviour, or phobic anxieties. At other times help is sought because of more general underlying feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulties in concentrating, dissatisfaction in work or inability to form satisfactory relationships. We believe in a mind-body connection so that improvements in psychological well-being translate into physical vitality. The benefits of our psychotherapy and counselling work include self-insight, inner fulfillment, raised self-esteem, a positive outlook and improved relationships.

I believe that warmth, positive regard, and acceptance are important to find the insights and tools for an important change in our lives. It is important for me to build a therapeutic relationship with genuineness and work together to enhance self-awareness and self-compassion. I prioritize allowing each person the agency to adapt techniques to their individual experiences or needs. I have a strong interest in individuals and the impact of society, culture on the development of personality. My passion for mental health, advocacy, and counselling has guided my practice and work through trauma to find strength and resilience.

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.

Everyone needs support at times. Whether it be needs relating to mental health, disability, parenting, trauma, or grief, you can always ask for help.

Looking to better understand, integrate and harness strong emotions? Want to know more about exactly why you react strongly to certain situations? I keep a small private practice (never more than 2-4 clients/week) where you can expect compassion, clarity, humour and a safe, respectful space to clarify your values, test your limits and move through impasse, using cognitive-behavioral interventions where appropriate. Complete the intake assessment, and you’ll get evidence-informed, clear statements on what changes you can expect, by when. Ambivalent ? Mistrustful? Discouraged? Come as you are.

Life has lost its focus and feels heavy with the many pressures that face you. It might be difficult to function at work or in your personal life. There are things that trouble you, including aspects of your past. You want to feel better, but might need some help. In therapy, you get to explore your situation, your emotions, and your hopes for the future in a way that helps you to grow in wisdom, authenticity, resilience, compassion and joy. Therapy is the YOU time; it's where you can be heard and seen in order to safely navigate this difficult journey with the help of a skilled therapist.

I am client centred and prefer to work collaboratively, integrating a variety of therapeutic modalities tailored to the needs of my client. I am professionally qualified as a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and a Creative Arts Therapist. In addition, I have advanced training in Mindfulness and Meditation, training in CBT, Solution Focused therapy, and EMDR.
