FRANÇAIS  ROMANA



I am a registered psychologist with the Order of Psychologists of Quebec. I am also working with the CSST, IVAC and SAAQ.

I am a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist with a private practice office in Montreal, Quebec. I offer individual psychotherapy for adults and older adolescents, as well as couple therapy. I have a background in Public Mental Health Services, in psychiatry and psychotherapy. .
My general areas of interest are depression, anxiety disorders, relationship problems, self-esteem and self-confidence problems, ADHD, life transitions, posttraumatic stress, difficulties with anger, coping with stress or burnout; for more specific information please visit the Areas of Practice section from Services.






My style of therapy is eclectic (which means I use a wide variety of techniques) and directive (I give advice and homework). I was trained primarily in Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), which focuses on changing dysfunctional thinking patterns and behaviours. I also draw on approaches such as Emotion-Focussed Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution Focus Brief Therapy, and dynamic approaches, to name a few. The goal in therapy is that you feel understood, supported, and listened to. My hope is that this occurs in a relaxed environment, which supports your capacity to make changes. I also draw on approaches such as DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), Emotion-Focussed Therapy, Mindfulness, Solution Focus Brief Therapy.
