Services Offered by Marie-Claude Hamel
Individual Therapy
Obstacles such as anxiety, depression and sudden life changes can all feel like barriers to a happy and harmonious life. In turn, these challenges can impact your work, social life and relationships. If left untreated, they can sometimes even impact your physical health. If you face any of these issues, or a few of them at the same time, I can help you navigate these so as to put your goals back into focus and within reach. Let’s get there together!
Couples Therapy
How we relate to others has a big part to play in achieving harmony and happiness. However, obstacles in relationships are almost unavoidable at some point or another. May it be communication issues or what appears to be a lack of deep understanding, not resolving issues that come up in relationships most often leads to resentment, and then to anger. This is a common phenomenon and you are not alone. Therapy can help! Find out more.
Perinatal Therapy
Being a new parent can bring on challenges we had not experienced before. Having the support we need around parenting issues can be crucial to a smoother transition into parenthood. Part of my work is done with the perinatal population, which is the time before and after the birth of a child. If you feel like you are “not yourself” during this time, you are not alone. I would be happy to help bring you the support you need during this awesome but sometimes overwhelming journey!
Trauma Informed Therapy
Trauma can be found most everywhere, and it’s not just what we know as “catastrophic events” that can cause this reaction. Repeated messaging from childhood can also cause this, as can childhood neglect and abandonment. Sometimes, trauma doesn’t “surface” until another triggering event occurs, such as a divorce or some other loss. This needs to be taken seriously. You can progress from trauma to a happy and fulfilling life, and I can assist you in this journey!
