Therapists in Quebec City

Therapists in Quebec City working through The Therapy Space are Ontario-registered professionals who meet the academic and ethical standards of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). Each holds a master’s-level education in counselling or psychotherapy and has completed supervised clinical training.

These therapists are qualified to offer therapy to clients throughout Quebec and bring a wide range of training and experience. They use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, mindfulness, and somatic therapy.

Each modality serves a distinct purpose. CBT focuses on identifying and reshaping unhelpful thought patterns, ACT emphasizes living in alignment with values, and EMDR helps clients process trauma safely. Somatic therapy and mindfulness cultivate awareness of the body and present moment, building calm and regulation.

At The Therapy Space, Quebec City clients receive personalized care rooted in professionalism, integrity, and compassion.

Therapy helps clients manage anxiety and stress by exploring underlying triggers and developing tools for long-term emotional stability. Many Quebec City residents experience stress from work, academics, family life, or the pace of urban living. Therapy offers a calm, structured environment to understand these pressures and respond more effectively.

CBT helps clients identify thought patterns that fuel anxiety and replace them with balanced perspectives. DBT adds emotion regulation and distress tolerance techniques that reduce reactivity. Somatic practices address how stress shows up in the body — tightness, fatigue, or restlessness — teaching clients to restore balance through grounding and breathwork.

Therapists also integrate mindfulness and relaxation exercises into daily routines. For example, a client overwhelmed by deadlines might practice short mindful pauses throughout the day to slow the body’s stress response.

Over time, therapy helps Quebec City clients build resilience, manage anxiety with awareness, and approach challenges with steadiness and confidence.

Therapy provides consistent support and evidence-based strategies for clients experiencing depression. It offers structure, validation, and tools to rediscover energy, meaning, and connection.

CBT focuses on identifying negative thought cycles and building healthier habits. Behavioural activation encourages engagement with activities that promote purpose and well-being, even when motivation is low. ACT helps clients accept challenging emotions while committing to actions aligned with their values.

Therapists may also integrate mindfulness and somatic awareness to help clients reconnect with their bodies, manage emotional heaviness, and rebuild a sense of internal balance.

For example, a client struggling with low energy or self-criticism may learn to identify unhelpful beliefs and develop routines that support self-care. Over time, therapy helps reduce depressive symptoms, strengthen emotional resilience, and foster a greater sense of self-compassion and hope.

Yes. Trauma therapy is available to Quebec City residents through secure online sessions with therapists trained in trauma-informed approaches.

Therapists use EMDR to help clients safely reprocess traumatic memories, lessening their emotional intensity. Somatic therapy focuses on regulating the body’s responses and reconnecting with sensations in a controlled, supportive way.

Initial sessions prioritize safety and stabilization. Clients learn grounding techniques, self-soothing tools, and psychoeducation about how trauma affects the brain and body.

Therapists guide clients in developing coping strategies before moving into deeper trauma processing. This ensures the work unfolds safely and at a manageable pace.

For clients in Quebec City, trauma therapy provides a path to healing that emphasizes empowerment, understanding, and gradual reconnection to both self and the world around them.

Yes. Couples and family therapy are available for Quebec City residents seeking to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and improve connection.

Couples therapy helps partners deepen emotional understanding and resolve conflict more constructively. Therapists often use Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners express underlying emotions, or the Gottman Method to develop healthier communication and conflict management skills.

Family therapy supports families through transitions, misunderstandings, or long-standing patterns of tension. Therapists use systemic and IFS-informed approaches to explore relationship dynamics, build empathy, and restore balance.

Sessions are practical, guided, and compassionate. Whether addressing parenting challenges, intergenerational conflict, or emotional disconnection, couples and family therapy provide a space to rebuild understanding and strengthen relational harmony.

Mindfulness and somatic practices are integrated into therapy to help clients regulate emotions, increase presence, and build a deeper connection between mind and body.

Mindfulness encourages awareness of thoughts and feelings without judgment. Clients learn to slow down, breathe, and observe their experiences with curiosity rather than reactivity.

Somatic therapy focuses on the body’s physical sensations, muscle tension, posture, or breathing patterns, and helps clients release stored stress through gentle movement, grounding, or breathwork.

These methods are particularly helpful for managing anxiety, trauma, and chronic stress. For example, a client might learn mindful breathing before a stressful presentation or use grounding techniques to stay centered during emotional conversations.

By combining mindfulness and somatic awareness with cognitive or relational approaches, therapy in Quebec City fosters holistic emotional regulation and well-being.

Therapists at The Therapy Space work collaboratively with clients to determine which therapeutic approach best suits their needs, preferences, and goals. During early sessions, clients and therapists explore what feels most supportive and effective.

CBT provides structure and practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT helps with emotional regulation and communication. ACT promotes acceptance and values-based living. EMDR supports trauma recovery, while IFS and somatic therapy focus on emotional integration and nervous system balance.

Therapists may use one approach or combine several, adapting as therapy progresses. This flexibility ensures each client receives care that feels personal and meaningful.

Quebec City clients benefit from this collaborative process, which emphasizes self-awareness and growth in a way that fits their rhythm and goals.

Therapy length varies based on each client’s goals, needs, and the nature of their concerns.
