Guylaine MajorPsychoeducator
Guylaine welcomes a clientele composed of adults, teenagers and children to provide support and guidance during periods of crisis, transition or changes, depending on the individual’s experience. She works to promote self-awareness, stress management, relationship management, pain and emotions management.
She focuses on the development of coping strategies and the use of tools to better manage your daily life, as well as the optimization of your function, in the context of various problems such as an accident, a bereavement, a separation, parental support, school difficulties or depression.
