Psychodiagnostic Assessment

This assessment allows the identification and diagnosis of mental health disorders.

Life coaching

Individual or Family Services

I offer individual and family therapy to children, youth and their families. 

Process

The assessment is divided into sequential steps:

  1. We will have a 90-minutes interview;

  2. A supplementary session might need to be scheduled with your youth depending on the clinical presentation;

  3. An interview might also need to be scheduled with a third party (e.g., teacher, current therapist) to gather more information;

  4. You and  your child will have to complete some questionnaires;

  5. I will write a report, which can take up to 4 weeks;

  6. We will schedule a feedback meeting to discuss the content of the report. 

Each individual or family service is different because it is tailored to your child/youth/family's needs. Overall, this is how I proceed:

  1. We will have a  60 - 90 meeting where I will gather information about your needs and goals for psychotherapy;

  2. In our 2nd meeting, I will present a treatment plan;

  3. Psychotherapy services.

Rainbow Flags

Intervention services

I provide services in English, French, and Spanish to children and youth (aged 6 to 19 years old) struggling with anxiety and mood disorders.
 

With youth, I offer services in the areas of :​

  • Stress management

  • Suicide Intervention 

  • Interpersonal challenges

  • Gifted/twice-exceptional (e.g., social skills, anxiety performance)

  • ADHD and/or executive functioning management,

  • LGBTQIA2+ issues

  • Male/man sexuality and toxic masculinity
     

While my primary theoretical orientations are cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) and interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT), I integrate perspectives and techniques from other types of therapy. As part of the treatment, I also apply neurobiological and multicultural perspectives.

I also offer family therapy to families. For more information about this service, please contact me directly.

Psychoeducational/ Neuropsychological Assessment

The assessment is divided into several steps:

  2. A follow-up meeting might need to be scheduled with your youth;

  3. A 3-hour testing session; Two or three testing sessions of 3 hours for a neuropsychological assessment;

    1. For some children, it is better to schedule three testing sessions of 2-hours.

    2. For some children/youth, depending on their clinical presentation, a third session is recommended to gather more information about their cognitive functioning. 

  4. An interview might also need to be scheduled with a third party (e.g., teacher, current therapist) to gather more information;

  5. You, your child, and your child's teacher will have to complete some questionnaires;

  6. I will write a report, which can take up to 4  to 6weeks;

  7. We will schedule a feedback meeting to discuss the content of the report.

  2. An interview with a third party (e.g., School Staff)

  3. The complementation of specific questionnaires

  4. An observation of your child in School or in my office with you;
