Individual Therapy in Pointe Claire, QC
Compassionate mental health support to help you heal, grow, and feel better.
Offering individual counselling for adults (18+) in Pointe-Claire and virtually across Quebec.
You can't quite explain it. It's not one big thing. It's everything, all at once, all the time.
You’ve carried so much for so long that untangling it feels impossible. And when you really think about it, you’re not even sure what the problem is. Anxiety? Depression? Stress? All you know is that it’s getting harder to pretend everything’s fine.
Through individual therapy, we help you make sense of what you’re carrying and finally begin to set it down.
If you’re struggling with:
- Finding yourself reacting strongly in relationships and later wondering why
- Feeling constantly on edge, like your body is bracing for something
- Tight shoulders, a clenched jaw, or tension you can’t seem to release
- Being stuck, wanting change, but unsure how to move forward
- Feeling disconnected from yourself or the people around you
- Feeling emotionally drained from carrying too much for too long
Individual counselling helps you understand how these patterns developed, and gently shift what’s underneath them so your body and mind can feel more in control again.

Why Individual Therapy?
It’s support that stays with you long after the session ends.
At The Therapy Group in Pointe-Claire, we offer individual counselling for adults 18 and older. Our approach is trauma-informed, client-centred, and shaped around your unique story, your pace, and your goals.
We support individuals navigating:
Anxiety and Chronic Worry
Your mind is always scanning for what could go wrong, even when things seem okay.
Depression and Low Mood
Life has lost its colour, and getting through the day takes more than it should.
Stress and Burnout
You’ve been running on empty for a long time, and your body and mind are starting to show it.
Trauma and PTSD
Past experiences are still shaping your present, through your body, your reactions, and the stories you carry about yourself.
Grief and Loss
You’re navigating loss in your own way and on your own timeline, and you deserve support without pressure to “move on.”
Emotional Dysregulation
Your emotions can feel intense, sudden, or hard to understand, leaving you drained or ashamed after the fact.
Relationship Difficulties
Patterns in your relationships, whether with partners, family, or colleagues, keep showing up no matter how hard you try to change them.
Low Self-Worth and Identity Challenges
You struggle to feel like enough, or you’re not quite sure who you are outside of what you do for others.
Life Transitions
Breakups, career shifts, parenting, immigration, health changes, and other turning points can shake your sense of self and direction.
Boundary Issues and People-Pleasing
Saying no feels impossible, and your own needs are always the last ones on the list.
Struggling with any of these is more human than you might think. It’s a signal that something important in you needs attention, care, and the right kind of mental health support.
Our role as your therapist is to help you finally put some of this down and figure out what comes next.

Approaches We Use in Individual Therapy To Help You Heal
At The Therapy Group in Pointe-Claire, we get curious about your patterns, your nervous system, and what you need, then build a plan that fits your life.
1:1 Individual Therapy Sessions
A confidential, caring space to slow down, explore what you are going through, and move at a pace that feels safe for you.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you notice unhelpful thought patterns, understand your reactions, and build more balanced and compassionate ways of thinking and responding.
Trauma-Informed Care and Emotion-Focused Approaches
Trauma-informed care means we understand how past experiences live in the body and the mind. We work gently to help you process what happened without retraumatizing you.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR)
For clients who have experienced trauma or PTSD, EMDR can help your nervous system process what feels stuck, so those memories lose their grip on your present.
Narrative Therapy
Narrative therapy helps you explore the stories you carry about yourself, the ones that say “I am too much” or “I am not enough,” and gently rewrite them in a way that honours your resilience and your truth.
Somatic Therapy and Body-Based Tools
We help you notice sensations, tension, and cues from your body, and learn ways to soften, ground, and feel more present in your own skin.
Skills-Building for Real Life
Practical counselling tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, setting boundaries, navigating emotional dysregulation, and coping with overwhelm in your day-to-day.
Psychoeducation
Understanding how stress, trauma, and attachment shape the brain and body can be genuinely healing. When your reactions make sense, they feel less like “Something is wrong with me,” and more like “This is something I can work with.”
Healing starts when you feel safe enough to be yourself.
You can be that here.

Frequently Asked Questions About Individual Therapy
How can I find an individual therapist near me?
You can begin by searching online directories, using a Google search such as “individual counsellor near me,” or asking your family doctor or healthcare provider for a referral. Community health organizations in Quebec can also be a helpful starting point.
At The Therapy Group, we offer in-person individual therapy in Pointe-Claire and the West Island, as well as virtual counselling across Quebec, making it easier to access mental health support wherever you are. What matters most is finding someone you feel safe with and who understands your story, your pace, and your needs.
Is online individual counselling as effective as in-person therapy?
Yes, and many of our clients actually prefer it. Online therapy is just as effective as in-person sessions and comes with the added bonus of flexibility and comfort. There’s something about being in your own space that makes it easier to open up. Whether you choose virtual or in-person, what matters most is feeling safe and connected with your therapist.
How do I choose the right individual therapist for me?
Choosing a therapist is a personal thing, and it’s okay if it takes a little time to find the right fit. You’re looking for someone whose approach feels right for you and who makes you feel genuinely understood. A good starting point is a free consultation, so you can get a sense of their style before committing to anything. At The Therapy Group, our Client Care Coordinator can help match you with the right counsellor based on your goals, your personality, and your comfort level.
How often should I come to individual therapy?
We usually suggest starting with weekly sessions. It helps build a rhythm and gives the work a chance to take root. As you start to feel more settled, we can adjust the frequency together, whether that means bi-weekly, monthly, or something else entirely. You’re always part of that conversation. Your needs and comfort guide the pace, not a set schedule.
What should I expect in my first individual therapy session?
Your first therapy session is really just about getting to know you. We’ll explore your story, what you’re navigating, and what feels most important right now. There’s no pressure to dive into everything at once. We move at your pace, focus on building safety, and work together to create a gentle sense of direction. And if you still have questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We offer a free consultation so you can get a feel for things before you begin.

How Life Can Feel After Individual Therapy
Healing doesn’t follow a set timeline. Some adults notice subtle shifts within a few weeks. Others, especially when trauma or grief have been building for years, experience change more gradually. Both are valid. Therapy moves at the pace your nervous system can safely handle.
With individual counselling, you may begin to:
- Feel calmer, more grounded, and more like yourself
- Sleep better and carry less tension in your body
- Understand your emotions without the shame spiral
- Turn down the volume on your inner critic
- Feel less stuck and clearer about where you're headed
- Set boundaries without the guilt
- Show up more fully for the people and things that matter
- Reconnect with the life you truly want to be living
You've spent a long time taking care of everything else. This is where you come to take care of yourself.
