Nice to meet you!

Emilie Leclerc, PhD

CRP 06/129841

I am a clinical psychologist originally from Montreal, Canada. For 20 years now, I have had the pleasure to work in mental health with various clienteles and issues.

Ever since I was little, I dreamed of a job where I could help others and keep challenging myself. It is with this mindset that I pursued a bachelor’s and master’s degree in psychology and psychoeducation at the Université de Sherbrooke, in addition to two specializations (Substance Abuse Treatment and Business Management).

In 2012, I moved to Sao Paulo, Brazil, where I had my Canadian degrees revalidated at the University of Sao Paulo (USP). I then completed a doctorate in psychiatry at the Escola Paulista de Medicina in Sao Paulo (UNIFESP). This experience allowed me to publish several scientific articles and deepen my knowledge of bipolar disorder and cross-cultural psychology.

Since 2017, I’ve been running my own practice, providing online therapy to people living in various countries around the world. My diverse training and clinical experiences enable me to provide integrative and personalized psychotherapy, combining elements of psychoeducation with systemic and cognitive-behavioral approaches.

I believe it is crucial to use methods backed by research, but above all, I see therapy as teamwork and a human process. I am here to explore the situation with you and help you create the concrete changes you need.
