Dr. Joëlle Léger

Caring for your mental health is an act of self-compassion and empowerment. It is never too early or too late to seek support, and there is no wrong reason to reach out for help. Therapy offers a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental space tailored to your needs, where your well-being is always the priority.

My approach is grounded in an integrative framework, meaning that therapy is adapted to your unique needs and experiences. Because each individual is different, therapeutic approaches are thoughtfully selected based on what is most helpful for you. I place great importance on building a strong therapeutic relationship and taking the time to truly understand each person’s lived experience. I use various techniques to explore your life experiences, emotions, thoughts, and behaviours to foster self-awareness and help you work toward your personal goals. I value individuality, comfort, and collaboration, and I strive to create a space where you feel supported, understood, and empowered.

I work with adults, adolescents, and school-aged children facing a range of challenges, including stressful life circumstances (such as physical illness, academic or occupational stress and burnout, trauma, or loss), relational difficulties, low mood or intense emotions (including anxiety, depression, anger, and guilt), low self-esteem, body image concerns, and eating-related difficulties. I also work with athletes, supporting both emotional well-being and performance within a sport-specific context. In addition, I conduct adult psychodiagnostic assessments, with a particular focus on Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

I am a Doctor of Psychology (PsyD) graduate from the Université de Moncton currently completing my residency under supervision of licensed psychologists for the College of Psychologist of New-Brunswick. I have experience in intervention and evaluation with children, adolescents, and adults in hospital, academic, community, and sport settings.
