Alzheimers Therapists in Saguenay, Quebec, Canada

Though I haven't yet worked with any Alzheimers clients, I have worked with some Parkinson's subjects as well as other neurological problems. Hypnosis has been shown to be effective in helping with Parkinson's tremors as well as other aspects of the condition including depression. I was asked if I could help someone suffering from a condition called Progressive Supranuclear Palsy, which is related to ALS or Lou Gehrigs disease. It is a condition with no cure or treatment. When I first met the client, he had been deteriorating for 12 years and was expected to die soon. He was confined to a wheelchair and could no longer speak. He drooled constantly and though wearing a bib, already in the morning was soaked with saliva. He suffered from tremors and got locked in repetitive movements several times a day, had trouble sleeping and couldn't get motivated to do his physical therapy, the only thing his doctors could offer him. In our first session, we were able to eliminate the tremors and repetitive movements, get him to sleep more soundly, and motivate him to do his PT. After the second session he was able to speak for the first time in ears and he got out of his wheelchair and walked. After 5 sessions you couldn't even tel he was sick and now, 6 years later, he's till walking the dog, gardening, hiking his favorite trails.

Each person’s dementia is shaped by a unique interplay of biological, psychological, relational, and environmental factors that has shaped their lives. Through conversation, we tailor our work to your authentic needs together. My approach is integrative and draws from several evidence-based therapeutic orientations.

I provide compassionate support for individuals and families navigating Alzheimer’s and cognitive decline. This includes emotional support, coping strategies, and guidance through the changes that impact identity, relationships, and daily life. My goal is to create a calm, supportive space that prioritizes dignity, connection, and presence through every stage

Saguenay is a regional city in Quebec's Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean region, set among dramatic fjord landscapes in a part of the province that is culturally distinct, strongly francophone, and economically anchored by aluminum production and the forestry industry. Geographic isolation, cold and dark winters, and the economic pressures of a resource-dependent region contribute to elevated rates of depression and seasonal affective disorder, and mental health services are delivered almost entirely in French through the CIUSSS du Saguenay–Lac-Saint-Jean. The University of Quebec at Chicoutimi (UQAC) has a psychology department that contributes trained professionals to the regional mental health workforce, and both public and private services are available in the city. Common therapy concerns include depression, anxiety, relationship and family stress, and the particular challenges of rural and regional life in a community where access to specialist care may require significant travel or telehealth.
