About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Marie-Pierre is warm & somewhat direct which I like . She is experienced & has a good life experience/ understanding being older than me. I like that she speaks *French too . She suggests concrete solutions & helps me see situations/life in a different light. She is a good listener that also participates in the conversation.

Marie Pierre is very present and able to hold space for my sharing. I feel understood and I can feel her sincere warmth and concern. She is wise and mature and offers perspectives that might be obvious, but that I cannot always see. She can summarize my dilemmas in a way that enables me to move into the direction of better awareness and decision making. Her encouragement has made a big difference in my attitude about myself at a time when I am dealing with depression and rejection. Her support has been key and I am very grateful.

Looking back on the last year and a half or so of working with Marie, I can see a big improvement in myself and my mental health. She provided me with tools and helpful ways of thinking about how I think, feel, and react to situations. Meeting with her feels like a weekly visit with my supportive auntie who listens and provides advice, but also focuses on how I make progress with my goals and shares worksheets with relevant exercises to work on whatever I am struggling with. She has helped me through some tricky emotional situations and has provided me with ways to practice feeling less guilt and worry, while prioritizing myself and my self-esteem. Many of these ways of thinking were completely new to me, or different perspectives I never considered before, and now I try to remember them every day. Thanks so much Marie!

Miss Marie helped me a lot. I wasn't convinced at the real beginning (kind of sceptical because the other therapists I met where too detached) but she made THE step I needed to really feel someone cared.
