Welcome!

My name is Maxime Lessard, licensed counsellor and member of OCCOQ. I am currently completing a stage in psychotherapy with Zikman & Associates Psychology, towards obtaining my psychotherapy permit with l’Ordre des Psychologues du Quebec.

I bring a solid foundation of experience in the mental health field, grounded in both academic training and hands-on practice. With a master’s degree in counseling, I have received advanced training in assessment, counseling techniques, and evidence-based interventions. My work in a variety of community settings with diverse populations has deepened my commitment to supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges.

In my work with clients, I draw on a humanistic approach that honors each person’s innate capacity for growth and self-discovery. This perspective guides me in building collaborative, trusting relationships where clients feel genuinely heard and understood. You can expect warmth, respect, and non-judgment as we work together. I also integrate a range of evidence-based tools, with a particular focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help you achieve your goals and find relief from anxiety, depression, and other mental health concerns. My aim is to provide a supportive space where you can explore your experiences, make the changes you desire, move toward greater well-being.

I look forward to working with you and supporting you on your journey!
