Marie is a psychologist specializing in eating disorders. She obtained her bachelor’s degree in psychology and her doctorate in clinical psychology (Ph.D. Research and Intervention) from the University of Montreal. She has been practicing for a few years with a diverse clientele.

 

Since her bachelor’s degree, Marie has sought to specialize in the field of eating disorders. She worked for more than 5 years in the community organization Anorexia and Bulimia Quebec (ANEB), holding various clinical, research and prevention positions. Then, she chose to do her doctoral thesis on the emotional impacts of the behaviors found in bulimia. She also completed her one-year internship at the Eating Disorders Continuum at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute.

 

Marie is interested in eating and body image issues, eating disorders, emotional difficulties and self-destructive behaviors, personality disorders and relationship difficulties. Her therapeutic approach is based on the principles of psychodynamic and relational therapies. Depending on the needs of her clients, Marie integrates behavioural and cognitive therapy interventions as well as family treatment for eating disorders, in which she has also been trained.

 

Marie offers individual psychotherapy to adolescents 12 years of age and older, young adults and adults of all genders, in telepractice and in person, only in French.

 

She believes in the self-determination of each person, and she aims to better understand and make sense of their difficulties together to give them more means to change suffering behaviors. For Marie, clinical understanding, emotional support and trust are important tools in therapeutic work. Marie’s clients can describe her as active, committed and authentic in the therapeutic relationship. 

 

Looking forward to meeting and working with you!
