Andrea Filice – Montague, MACP, Registered Psychotherapist
Psychotherapist in Burlington
Everyone deserves to live a happy, healthy, and meaningful life. Life can be challenging and sometimes we need a little help along the way. I believe a strong therapeutic relationship is fundamental for growth and positive change; I am committed to working patiently with each individual to establish trust and create a safe space, where they can begin their journey to healing and an improved quality of life.
My work with individuals, couples, and families, is person-centred and trauma-informed. I take an integrative approach utilizing various modalities such as:
EMDR is a specialized psychotherapeutic approach often used to treat trauma, PTSD, anxiety, phobias, panic, and dissociative disorders. Sessions involve revisiting distressing memories while focusing on external stimuli, guided by a trained therapist. The goal is to reprocess the traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity, helping the individual move forward in a healthy way.
