In Person Therapists in Sainte-Anne-de-Bellevue, QC

“The key to joy is not happiness but the courage to embody your true self.” – Dr. Shefali Tsabary. Have you been suffering emotionally? Have you been feeling unworthy or not feeling connected in your relationships or to yourself? Are you ready to start your healing journey towards living an authentic, joyful, and peaceful life? I can help. I am a licensed psychologist and I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, life transitions, chronic illness, grief, and relationship problems of all types.

You may not know what is causing you distress, and need someone to help you sort it all out. As a long-time psychologist, I have practiced in many settings: hospitals, school boards, an OSI clinic and EAPs. I also have extensive experience with couple and family counselling. Are you looking for a comprehensive approach based in neuroscience? Services can include neurofeedback, bilateral stimulation, hypnosis and reconsolidation therapy. These modalities are effective for those with hypersensitivities who are not open to talk therapies. The combination, a somatic treatment and a psychological one, is extremely potent and effective.

When people feel overwhelmed by the pressures of life, they can feel stuck— unable to move forward. They are often so sad and anxious that they no longer enjoy the things they once did. I help people facing major life transitions clarify their issues, make important decisions and make the changes that are needed for them to get "unstuck" and live happier lives. I help people understand themselves better and make the changes they need to feel better. If you are dealing with difficult feelings, conflictual relationships, career indecision or questioning your sexuality or gender identity, I can help.

Accepting new clients for the Fall of 2024. Are you struggling to connect with those around you? Perhaps feeling overwhelmed and emotionally exhausted?

Do you feel overwhelmed by painful thoughts and feelings? That if only you weren't so_______(sad, anxious, depressed, shy, angry) that your life would be better? Many people try to get rid of painful thoughts, feelings, and physical symptoms. In fact, they work really hard to feel better, and yet.... they don't feel better. It is not for lack of trying that people decide to seek professional help. Our minds are designed to ruminate about problems until these problems are "fixed". That's why your mind is working so hard right now.

A type of therapy beyond speech ... Whether it is to express emotions, regain power over your life or find tools for personal growth, which differentiates drama therapy from other forms of "psycho-therapy which are generally focused on speech "is that in dramatherapy, in addition to using words, we also use expressive tools that can pass through the whole body: projective techniques, bodily movements, breathing and mindfulness exercises, creation of rituals, creation of stories, improvisations, theory and method of roles, etc. The exploration process become therapeutic in itself.

I provide a woman- centered approach to mental health, as a licensed psychologist and life coach, that is personalized to fit the needs and personality of each individual woman. Women's mental health may be affected by reproductive- related events (e.g., the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, and menopause). As such, the possible impact of biological factors need to be understood and incorporated in a holistic approach, that includes psychological, social, and cultural factors, for each woman to receive optimal treatment. Within this context I provide diagnostic evaluations, psychotherapy, and consultation for a wide variety of emotional, behavioral, and adjustment concerns.

When life gets challenging, or we feel lost, we need a helping hand to get us back on track. I understand there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the issues individuals, couples, and families face. I believe in providing compassionate and personalized therapy to meet each client's needs, whether in person or online. My commitment to my clients is to provide the best care and support, whether you are seeking support on your individual journey, navigating the complexities of a relationship, or looking to strengthen bonds as a couple or in your family.
