Female Therapists in Westmount, QC
These diverse experiences provide me with unique insights regarding the challenges faced by women.
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.

Although we all inhabit Earth, it often feels like each of us exists on our own planet. I would be honored to have the opportunity to explore yours. I've created a space where you can talk about your life, figure out what you want to change, and understand why you feel the way you do. In my practice, I integrate cultural understanding, strength-based strategies, art, and solution-focused tools to create a tailored approach for exploring and shifting deep-rooted emotions and unhelpful thoughts. My work is informed by attachment theories, and I place a strong emphasis on personal growth and understanding you as a whole person.

Are you a Gifted adult? Would you like to discuss giftedness openly? What is a gifted identity in adulthood? Was there life-long sense of being “different”? Multipotentiality may make any one career feel constraining. Emotional intensity makes relationships challenging. Self-criticism leads to feelings of being an imposter. Gifted adults may be prone to existential depression and painful moments of “positive disintegration”. The gifted adult often shows unusual maturity, social adjustment and natural leadership, but Giftedness can also intersect with other neurodivergences such as ASD, ADHD or learning disabilities in complex ways.

I believe that times of hardship and difficulty can often provide opportunities for personal growth by leading one to take stock of one’s priorities, values, perceptions, relationships and environments; to replace dysfunctional coping strategies with more effective ones; to reevaluate and explore one’s goals; to discover what gives one’s life greater meaning and satisfaction, and to uncover one’s strengths and capacities. As a clinical psychologist (Ph.D) with extensive experience and training, I am dedicated to helping my clients realize their goals and explore opportunities for personal growth.

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
