Sexual Abuse
Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
As a counsellor on the Victim Services VQRP(Victim Quick Response Program)List I have successfully worked with hundreds of clients both children as well as adults who were victims of sexual abuse and/or trauma. For children who are victims use activities from “A Child Sexual Abuse Kit”. The Shame that accompanies this form of abuse encourages its survivors us to feel flawed and inadequate as they internalize the consistent message that their experience is too horrible for words…and, by implication, that consequently THEY are too horrible for words.Such paralyzing and isolating feelings associated with this form of abuse, particularly shame often further results in a need to punish oneself for perceived wrong doing. As many survivors feel that their treatment is “proof” that they are worthless, when rejected by others, they in turn punish further themselves. Self -sabotaging behavior may include poor and self -destructive choices, very often even on an unconscious level.

Sexual Abuse
Roger Thiessen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
Approximately 30% of females in Canada, along with many males, have experienced sexual trauma. As a survivor myself, I know its impact. The long-term effects of sexual trauma include shame from victim blaming, relationship difficulties, and even physiological issues, such as obesity. I worked in a sexual assault centre for many years, and have counselled people in the sex industry. As hopeless as things can seem, I know that sexual assault victims can not only survive but thrive, experiencing a life of freedom, fullness and rich relationship.

Sexual Abuse
Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Healing from sexual abuse requires safety, choice, and pacing. Therapy can support you in processing trauma, reducing shame and self-blame, reconnecting with your body, and rebuilding a sense of agency. I use a trauma-informed approach and, when appropriate, may integrate EMDR or mindfulness-based work to support healing in a careful and collaborative way.

Montreal's bilingual, bicultural identity shapes its therapy landscape, with many therapists offering services in both French and English to serve the city's English-speaking communities alongside Quebec's Francophone majority. The city's large student population across McGill, Concordia, and Université de Montréal generates consistent demand for therapists addressing academic stress, young adult transitions, and identity. Montreal's arts and creative sector also sustains demand for therapists who understand the pressures of creative careers, financial precarity, and performance anxiety. The Douglas Mental Health University Institute provides major institutional mental health research and care, complemented by the city's extensive private and CLSC-based therapy network.
