Dr. Jennifer Lewy

Hi! I’m Dr. Jennifer Lewy, licensed clinical psychologist, looking forward to meeting, collaborating and helping you navigate life's twists and turns. As a member of the Order of Psychologists of Quebec (OPQ), I bring expertise in child & family psychology from the University of Montreal. I've had the joy of working in different settings with toddlers, teens, adults and everyone in between. In addition to individual therapy, and play therapy, I also provide parental coaching sessions for parents, and supervise diligent and talented interns in counseling psychology as well as experienced social workers and psychologists.

My approach? ECLECTIC. Think of our sessions as a SAFE SPACE where we can built trust to unravel the mysteries of your past emotions and experiences, sit in them uncomfortably for a moment to ensure you can handle them better in the future . Using Emotion-Focused Therapy (i.e., exploring attachment), trauma-informed practice and psychodynamic theories, we'll dig deep, uncovering the roots of your struggles, and working towards healing and growth.

I often use a Humanistic client centered approach or a more systemic lens when working with couples and families. I will incorporate elements of mindfulness practices and at times propose concrete strategies and tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as well as Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT). I've got an arsenal of techniques to tailor our sessions to your needs. However, when working with children under 10-12 years old, I will always privilege unstructured play therapy. As play is their primary language of communication and allows them to be authentic (i.e., lower their defenses).

As a parent myself I truly understand the daily struggles of parenting children in this modern age. I recognize the importance of supporting, connecting, and building an ongoing trustworthy relationship with my little clients’ parents. I therefore, believe in feedback sessions as well as collaborative problem-solving.

Outside our sessions, I love sharing insights with others. From workshops on parenting strategies based on the best-seller "How to talk so kids will listen & listen so kids will talk" to fun sessions on psycho-social development, emotion regulation and self-care, I'm all about spreading the knowledge.

My fees range from 180$ to 250$, and I provide receipts for insurance purposes.

Merci, Danku, Toda, Graçias & Thank You!
