Working With Us
At the Montreal Therapy Centre, we believe difficult life situations can provide a unique opportunity for personal growth and change. We view therapy as an experience through which you can build on existing strengths, develop new tools for approaching old problems in a new way, and learn life-long skills that can keep you focused on achieving your goals.
We also believe that the conditions for self-exploration and change are created through a collaborative working relationship between you and your therapist. At the Montreal Therapy Centre, we assume all individuals, couples and families have the capacity for growth and transformation. Therefore, it is our aim to create an environment that allows our clients to identify and utilize their natural strengths.
When you decide to work with a therapist at the Montreal Therapy Centre, you will visit our office for an initial meeting. Together with your therapist, you will discuss your current situation and identify key issues. Your therapist will begin to design a treatment plan and together you will decide the direction therapy will take. Through a series of regularly scheduled sessions with your therapist, you will work towards accomplishing your goals. Our aim is to work with you to create lasting change.
