My Areas of Expertise

Hi there! Thank you for viewing my biography. My name is Jeanette. I’ve been a clinical psychologist for over 10 years. After a few years of practice in various settings in my country of origin (Lebanon), I studied for a Master’s degree in clinical psychology in France, where I perfected my practice with a varied and multi-ethnic clientele. Upon my arrival in Montreal, I completed an equivalency with doctoral-level courses at UQAM and professional internships in order to obtain my permit to practice from the Ordre des Psychologues du Québec.
My academic and professional career, which has taken place in various cultural contexts, has allowed me to develop a sensitivity to the various challenges and obstacles my clients encounter in their personal journeys, and to put the best techniques in place to help overcome them. I believe that with professional help, every individual will find the internal resources to achieve lasting psychological well-being.
In my practice, having been confronted with various therapeutic approaches (psychodynamic, mindfulness, humanistic), I take a so-called integrative approach that is inspired by several intervention models recognized in psychology. I offer therapy adapted to the needs and pace of each individual, in an environment of respect and trust.

Success Stories
« Je tenais à vous remercier du plus profond de mon coeur pour l’aide que vous m’avez procurée cet été. Les trois mois de thérapie que j’ai passé avec vous ont complètement changé ma vie. Avec votre aide, j’ai pu creuser en moi, creuser dans mes vieilles blessures et y amener de la lumière pour les guérir. Je suis éternellement reconnaissant d’être « tombé » sur une psychologue de votre stature. C’était ma première vraie expérience en thérapie et je peux exprimer haut et fort que d’être accompagné par une personne pleine de compassion, de savoir, d’écoute et de sagesse comme vous était une véritable bénédiction. Je n’aurais pas pu espérer mieux. Je recommande vos services à absolument tout le monde étant aux prises avec quelconque blessures émotionnelles et psychologiques, trauma ou autres. »
