Services

For over 10 years I have worked with teens, adults, couples and families. I offer a variety of services to best meet your needs, including online therapy to help tackle your busy lifestyle. Check them out!

Online Therapy

As part of her practice, Emily offers the potential of online counseling for her clients. Online counseling allows for the client to get the full benefits of therapy, from the comfort of their own home. The primary focus is to develop specific goals, empowering the clients to develop and implement new strategies into their daily lives.

Individual Therapy

As an adult, it is often difficult to implement change in one’s life. I believe that it is helpful to learn ways in which to modify behaviours as opposed to changing them. I work towards helping clients attain realistic goals by understanding why we behave in certain ways, and by finding strategies to modify those behaviours.

Adolescents

Adolescence is challenging. It is crucial to have someone objective who can help you navigate the teenage years. I work hard with my clients to empower them to take control of their lives. I look at finding solutions and help them develop strategies. Confidentiality is an integral part of my philosophy. It is important that my clients feel safe to express themselves openly and honestly.

Couple Counselling

Relationships can be tough to navigate. Communication, understanding and respect are three of the most necessary skills for healthy relationships. When working with couples, I strive towards being a neutral third party, allowing both partners to express themselves in a safe, judgement-free environment. I engage the couple in working towards developing goals as a partnership and empower them to strategize ways in which to reach those goals.

Testimonials

"Emily presented her workshop entitled "Destigmatizing mental health: Addressing the needs amongst our youth", she provided strategies and resources that would empower parents to speak with their teens about issues such as depression and anxiety. Her sensitivity and ease to which she answered the questions of her audience led to an open and honest discussion. I would definitely recommend her."

- Devorah Feldman (Limmud Centre)

"Emily is both a parent at our daycare and consultant. Emily has given a presentation annually entitled “Exploring my body: In the eyes of a toddler.” Her workshops are well structured with an amazing visual presentation. Workshops are tailored to meet the needs of parents with children in the different age groups. Her ability to develop a trusting, genuine, and honest atmosphere with her audience enables parents and educators to feel comfortable to ask personal questions. I would recommend Emily as a guest speaker and will continue to use her services."

- Alexandra Mikhailovskaia (SuperKids Académie Préscolaire)

“We hosted a workshop for parents which Emily presented entitled "Demystifying Anxiety, and Helping Our Children Cope." The breadth of her knowledge and ease with her audience were on full display that evening. The parents appreciated the time that Emily took to thoughtfully answer their questions. I am confident that she can present on a wide variety of topics and would not hesitate to recommend Emily as a guest speaker for any workshop or conference. “

- David Schipper (Director, Strategic Learning Centre)

“When you’re in high school, it is almost impossible to decide what career path you want to follow. I was very involved in athletics and student life, and didn’t even want to think about what would happen after high school. Emily met with all secondary V students to discuss different CÉGEP programs. Emily began by asking us about our passions, where we see ourselves, and what kind of person we want to be. Emily empowered me to explore myself and who I was. At our second session, Emily handed me the pamphlet about the Child Studies program. Immediately, I knew that’s what I was destined to do. I am forever grateful for the guidance Emily gave me, and am happy to say that I am now a teacher!”

I went with my daughter Sharon to meet with Emily because she was unsure about which program and cegep was right for her. Emily explained the difference amongst all the cegep programs, took the time to answer our questions, and discussed the various school options based on her interests and grades. Emily's knowledge and expertise as well as her ability to communicate beautifully with my daughter kept Sharon focused and grounded throughout the entire stressful Cegep application process. She was genuinely interested in my daughter's main interests, Psychology and Media-Art-Communication programs. Sharon was admitted into both programs and decided on psychology. We are grateful that Emily was able to facilitate this complex process for us and help guide Sharon in her choices.

- Sigal and Sharon (grade 11 student)

“Mrs. Scott is a resourceful professional. Having vast knowledge about the various CEGEP schools (English & French), she was able to work with our son and introduce to him programs that meet his qualifications, competencies, and CEGEP acceptance requirements. Mrs. Scott has been committed to the process, and she ensured to accompany us whenever we required her expertise. I thank her for her valuable contribution.”

- Gil (Montreal)

“Emily has helped my kids tremendously during high school. Her kindness and professionalism were a blessing for us. Emily has amazing listening skills and, with her knowledge, helps the child feel more empowered in these sometimes-difficult years. Particularly with issues pertaining to anxiety, Emily has been integral in helping my children with specific tools. We cannot thank her enough for her patience, her empathy and her genuine devotion to helping teens.”

- Anonymous (parents of adolescent client)

"Emily Scott helped me and my husband transition from monogamy to polyamory. Emily has helped us communicate with each other more effectively and honestly. I believe that Emily saved our marriage and I am grateful for her in our lives”

- Jennifer and Paul (Couple)

"I was skeptical when I started therapy. I preferred a therapist who gave me advice and tools, not someone who just listened to me. She was always attentive, kind, and supportive, but was also willing to tell me things that I needed to hear. In our first session, I listed everything I wanted to fix. Emily told me that a big part of being happier in life was accepting qualities that we can’t change that much in our life. I realized on my own that she was right. Tools can only do so much, but acceptance can make all of the difference in how you see yourself. Emily has had a great impact on my life and I’ve really enjoyed having her as my therapist. I would recommend her to anyone. “
