Individual Therapy Tailored to You Everyone’s path is different. People choose therapy based on the various themes they are experiencing in their lives. In my practice, I offer an empathic space where your feelings are validated in a non-judgemental way. No two people are alike and sessions are unique and personalized for what works best for you. You feel heard. We work together to help you to get through the transitions you may be experiencing. Change is challenging and you don’t have to face this alone but you will get through it. We work together. If you are struggling in your personal relationships or facing challenges in the workplace or at home that are leaving you feeling powerless and confused and like you are going to go off the deep end know that you are not alone. Many people experience these challenges and turning to therapy to help you cope and express your feelings is a positive step in the right direction. In my practice, we explore different ways to improve your communication and develop a healthy assertive style to help you express what you are feeling and find solutions and improve your interaction with others. Taking the first step and admitting that there is a problem is an important decision that will lead to healthier coping skills and a better sense of well-being overall. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/c3f55f5f-8ed5-4f40-9464-15c5fb2163cc/seated-man-blue-flowers-abstract-therapy.jpg Individual Therapy - What Individual Counselling Can Help With Here are some examples of the personal struggles I have helped clients work through in my practice.

In our initial consultation I gather information to obtain a profile of who you are and where you come from. A lot of the initial consultation involves gathering information and getting an overall profile as well as your therapeutic objectives. Your intake package is no longer than 10 minutes consisting of a consent form and a health summary. It can be completed online or if you prefer you can sign the forms in person in my office. I gather information about your family situation and medical background information. It is important to get a whole picture of my clients as there are often different factors that lead to you becoming the person you are today as well as how you learned to handle different situations in your life. Some of these ways were learned over time with the closest people in our lives. Obtaining medical information is important and my practice is sensitive to any medical issues you may have and how they have impacted your life. My intervention strategies complement your medical interventions to improve your overall sense of well-being. https://www.saraperrettatherapy.com/couples-therapy-laval daily 0.75 2025-09-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/b1b464b7-b465-4cc8-890a-3665e06686cf/Banner3.jpg Couples Counseling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/1659950774779-U26DPAWSKNNRVKNQOBQH/Banner+light+grey2.jpg Couples Counseling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/1659950774779-U26DPAWSKNNRVKNQOBQH/Banner+light+grey2.jpg Couples Counseling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/1659950774779-U26DPAWSKNNRVKNQOBQH/Banner+light+grey2.jpg Couples Counseling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/a9599128-167b-48bc-b199-98f3d6e9133c/Brand+Export__Colour_6.jpg Couples Counseling https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/a70ee045-cbd6-4fb8-8a24-c640f1d873f7/couple-dancing-artwork-relationship-therapy.jpg Couples Counseling - What Brings Couples to Therapy Couples go through ups and downs in their relationships. Long-term relationships do not get there without having had some issues and challenges on that path. Some couples need to learn to fight for each other rather than with each other. If you and your partner are experiencing the following issues on a regular basis, it may be helpful to seek therapy services and get the help from an objective therapist. This is not about taking sides, but about helping you to use your strengths to communicate better with one another. Sometimes during this process, some couples may decide that the healthiest decision is to end the relationship. I am there to support you during this process if this is what you decide is the best possible outcome. · Frequent arguments or growing silence · Struggling with trust, distance, or resentment · Uncertainty about staying together or separating · Difficulty communicating without conflict · Feeling more like roommates than partners https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/a9599128-167b-48bc-b199-98f3d6e9133c/Brand+Export__Colour_6.jpg Couples Counseling - In-person couples Therapy sessions in Laval Sessions take place in person at my Laval office.

Communication and miscommunication can wreak havoc on a relationship. My role is to give both partners a chance to air their different viewpoints and to communicate better with one another. This is not about placing blame on any one partner, but helping both partners communicate their needs better with one another. Sometimes working with values helps the couple change their tone with one another through therapy sessions. At other times, couples need to learn to respect each other's boundaries and develop more trust and respect towards their partner. Sessions are 60 minutes at my Laval office or online on Teams.

Are you suffering from burnout and work related stress? Many people hesitate to reach out for therapy services and feel guilty if they do.

You don’t have to experience this alone. Break the isolation and feel supported to better cope with what happened at your workplace. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/cc6ddb38-ad6b-4c88-a08e-f02561f66f76/purple-abstract-art-vase-calm-therapy.jpg Therapy for crime & work accident victims - Therapy for Victims of Crime:Calm, Confidential Support Are you the victim of a crime?

Put yourself in the other person’s shoes. If they are not there pretend they are there with you and talk to them. Practice role playing, apologizing, say how you feel, change partners and roles. This builds empathy and helps you move on. A- Altruistic Gift. Offer your forgiveness as an altruistic gift to the person. Remember a time when you wronged someone and they forgave you. Offer the same gift to someone else. C-Commit. Once you have forgiven, write a note to yourself. It can read something like, “On this day____I forgive______ for hurting me”. H-Hold On. You may have doubts that you have forgiven the person. When feelings of anger or resentment re-emerge, re-read your note. https://www.saraperrettatherapy.com/blog/The Pyramid of Needs monthly 0.5 2025-12-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/540383ae-5616-4346-87ab-85fbfb095a63/maslow-needs.jpg Blog - The Pyramid of Needs https://www.saraperrettatherapy.com/blog/Personality Types and Your Life Choices monthly 0.5 2026-01-08 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/0fc69945-ae74-4911-97d7-0ef8be381f8f/Jung5.jpg Blog - Personality Types and Your Life Choices - FOUR PSYCHOLOGICAL FUNCTIONS --Extroversion vs. Introversion --Sensation vs. Intuition --Thinking vs. Feeling --Judging vs. Perceiving https://www.saraperrettatherapy.com/blog/The Art of Setting Boundaries monthly 0.5 2025-12-09 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/c80adb2b-6adb-4a1e-aae3-c6448ce4a6bf/Boundaries1.png Blog - The Art of Setting Boundaries https://www.saraperrettatherapy.com/blog/Enhancing Your Self-Esteem monthly 0.5 2025-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/e5690733-4321-4e03-8e26-13e8a837ee4b/Rosenberg+scale.jpg Blog - Enhancing Your Self-Esteem - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/dfb7c7ee-2c44-4748-af2b-3e535e27d71a/redhead.jpg Blog - Enhancing Your Self-Esteem Assertiveness is Linked to High Self- Esteem Characteristics of Assertive People: --They value open–mindedness.

Youth between the ages of 15-24 experience depression at a rate of 6.4% and 7% of adults experience depression. 70% of adults experienced their first symptoms of depression as youth. Women are twice as likely than men to experience depression and are more likely to seek help than men so male statistics may be underreported as men often try to cope on their own while women are more comfortable seeking assistance. People who suffer from chronic illness and substance abuse also have a higher incidence of depression. 25-50% of Canadians coping with chronic illness will also develop depression due to the negative impact their illness has on their life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/62ecf5d4aefc5c67c17c874f/159cad8e-bf98-4296-a52d-b76731421f3d/unsplash-image-eAkjzXCU0p0.jpg Blog - Beyond Blue, Signs You Are Depressed - Why Depression Rates Are Rising Some of the causes of this increase in depression rates are financial insecurity, quality of life, and access to care. Depression is a significant problem in Canada. As per a poll in 2021 conducted by MHRC (Mental Health Research Canada) and Health Canada confirmed that Canadians were more depressed than they had ever been before. https://www.saraperrettatherapy.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2025-01-13
