"I chose this profession because I deeply believe that no one should face their hardships alone. My role is to walk beside you — with listening, respect and hope."

Hello, I'm Charbel. For over 18 years I've been supporting individuals, couples and families in Montreal through difficult moments: anxiety, grief, conflict, loss of confidence, or simply the need to see things more clearly. What drives me every day is seeing you leave lighter, calmer and better equipped than when you arrived.

From our very first meeting, I'm committed to building a relationship of trust with you, in a safe and non-judgmental space. I use methods recognized by science, adapted to your situation, because no two journeys are alike. My approach is, above all, human: you are never a file — you are a person.

Trained as a counsellor at the Université de Sherbrooke, I pay special attention to vulnerable people. Together, we strengthen your personal and family resources to face difficulties and reduce the risk of depression, anxiety or post-traumatic stress.

FAQ

In order to get to know you better and build a relationship of support, an initial assessment is necessary. This will enable us to draw up an initial plan for practical care and the co-construction of an objective to be achieved.

Couple therapy plays a significant role in the lives of partners involved in a relationship. It aims to help them resolve conflicts, improve communication, clarify expectations and make informed decisions about their future, so they can lead fulfilling, sustainable lives.

Family therapy enables us to deal with relationship problems in depth and resolve them in a lasting way. It encourages emotional expression and validation among family members. It aims to improve communication, bonding and collaboration between family members, taking into account their context and history.

According to the results of the assessment, 3 types of therapies are offered in these cases:
• Sensorimotor Psychotherapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
• Flash technique
• Brainspotting, or Brief Therapy to Overcome Obstacles

Counseling is a form of psychological support designed to help people cope with difficult situations. As marriage and family counsellors, we support the ill person and their loved ones in accepting diagnosis, treatment and recovery.

Distance psychotherapy is a form of therapy in which the client and therapist communicate via a secure platform. This allows clients to receive mental health care remotely, without having to travel physically, saving time while staying in the comfort of their own home.
