Marie-Christine Lemoine, Occupational Therapist

My name is Marie-Christine Lemoine and I have been an occupational therapist for over 12 years.

After obtaining my master's degree in occupational therapy from McGill University, I had the opportunity to work with a diverse mental health clientele at the Institut Universitaire en santé Mentale de Montréal.

Being a mother of 3 children and having also worked in an employee assistance program to provide broader mental health services has allowed me to diversify my professional experience while seeing the importance of staying grounded in everyday life.

I am committed to supporting individuals, through concrete and sustainable tools and solutions that will make your daily life easier.

As an occupational therapist, my goal is to support you in your daily life so you are able to carry out your essential tasks and leisure activities. Through a goal-oriented approach, we will determine your needs in order to focus our meetings on specific objectives for which you will see concrete results.

What is occupational therapy?

Services

Specializing in mental health, I offer occupational therapy services to adolescents (14 years and older) and adults to support them in their daily lives. More specifically, here are some of my areas of expertise

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

Living with an ASD diagnosis can present many daily challenges, such as managing energy levels, prioritizing tasks, regulating emotions, adapting to new routines, and navigating social interactions. Together, we will develop personalized strategies to overcome these obstacles.

Adjusting to a mental health diagnosis

Whether it's a diagnosis for you or a loved one, learning that you have a disease is difficult to accept. Together, we can understand the condition and find strategies to thrive.

Overcoming Anxiety and Depression

By using a variety of techniques, we'll help you rediscover your motivation, establish healthy habits, and manage anxiety so you can enjoy day-to-day life again.

Conquering organizational challenges

Whether you're living with ADHD or simply dealing with a busy lifestyle, a well-organized routine is essential for achieving your goals in all areas of life (work, home, school). Through the use of organizational tools and the development of a personalized schedule, you'll learn effective strategies to enhance your productivity and manage your daily tasks more efficiently.

Reintegrating into the Workplace Successfully

Balacing Work and family life

Following a leave of absence, it is important to take time to understand the factors that led to the leave, in order to then put in place strategies to prevent a relapse. In addition, having support to mitigate anxiety during the return to work process and evaluate the need for workplace accommodations is advisable.

Balancing work and family life is a significant challenge. Together, we can work to understand your family's unique values and schedule, and develop strategies to ensure everyone feels supported and fulfilled in their daily life.

Appointments

Two types of appointments are available to you: in-person or online.

In-person: I am available to meet with you in person on Tuesday mornings at the Clinique Chiropratique Familiale de Varennes (1950 René-Gaultier).

Online: You can book an online appointment, according the availabilities of my schedule. Sessions are held via video conference (Zoom). If you choose this option, I invite you to schedule a 15-minute introductory meeting (free of charge) so we can meet and assess your needs. I will also take this opportunity to explain how the sessions work.

After each session, you will receive an insurance receipt.
