About Me
Hi, I’m Antoine Lemay, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) based in Ottawa.
I hold a B.A. in Psychology from the University of Ottawa and a Graduate Diploma in Psychotherapy from l’Université de Hearst. I work fluently in both English and French, allowing me to support clients in the language they feel most comfortable expressing themselves.
Currently in my second year of professional practice, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, each with their own unique story. My approach to therapy is rooted in genuine curiosity, empathy, and a deep respect for each person’s lived experience.
​
I’m passionate about helping people gain clarity, navigate challenges, and foster meaningful change. Whether you are struggling with addiction, self-esteem, trauma, or simply looking for a space to explore yourself more deeply, I strive to create a safe, collaborative, and non-judgmental environment where growth can happen.
Outside of my work, I value continuous learning and remain committed to expanding my knowledge in psychotherapy practices to better serve my clients. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering support and encouragement as you move toward greater well-being.
In my free time, I also enjoy playing sports (golf, hockey, soccer and volleyball), spending time in nature and travelling.
My Approach
I employ an integrative approach to therapy, drawing upon a variety of evidence-based modalities to best meet each individual's unique needs. My approach incorporates principles from the person-centered approach to foster a supportive and empathetic environment, while also utilizing techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to address specific thought patterns, distress tolerance and emotional regulation. Additionally, I integrate insights from the psychodynamic approach to explore underlying unconscious processes, and I incorporate parts work to facilitate internal dialogue and self-understanding. This flexible, tailored methodology aims to promote meaningful growth and lasting change.
