An artist, musician and passionate about relationships, Marie-Michelle offers welcoming therapy for those who want to get to know their inner world, free themselves from emotional burdens or tap into their creative potential to regain power over their lives.

With the nature of human relationships close to her heart, in 2023, after 1,250 hours of practice at the Centre de relation d’aide de Montréal, Marie-Michelle earned her diploma as a TRA, counselling therapist (Thérapeute en relation d’aide™) through ANDC™. Her support
is rooted in empathetic listening that fosters and nurtures self-love. Together, we bring to light relational patterns and fundamental needs. By welcoming more of the fears awakened in your sensitive areas, it becomes possible to strengthen your emotional autonomy through individual therapy.

Her path is carried by the strength of ANDC™, a professional relational approach of an emotional nature that favours personal growth and
acceptance of one’s being. Created by educator and author Colette Portelance, this humanistic approach is based on listening to what is lived in the here and now.
Counselling through the Creative Non-Directive Approach™ is a gentle way to consciously harmonize head and heart. It is also an opportunity to break out of isolation and find meaning in one’s existence again. Loneliness, illness, grief or separation are truly difficult ordeals to face alone. Through its authenticity, the relationship can transform, and ultimately soothe and propel the person who agrees to face reality. The approach is therapeutic in the sense that it does not claim to find solutions or make a diagnosis; rather, it is a complementary resource in the service of health, support on a human scale. Marie-Michelle also leads expression workshops where she invites each participant to take their place at the heart of their creativity. Through observations of lived experience and a writing process, she guides the work so that each voice finds its strength in the group, expressing itself freely in a caring space.
