Joelle Jobin
Ph.D., Clinical Psychologist

Dr. Jobin’s warm, easy-going, and down-to-earth demeanor helps create an environment where clients can feel comfortable being themselves, opening up, and feeling genuinely heard and understood. Her approach to therapy is collaborative and conversational, with all emotions welcomed into the session. While therapy can involve difficult and painful experiences, it does not always have to feel heavy. Dr. Jobin naturally incorporates humour when appropriate while remaining emotionally attuned to moments that require greater sensitivity and depth.

Dr. Jobin works comfortably with a wide range of personalities and communication styles, from clients who are quieter and more reserved to those who are expressive, energetic, or outgoing. She also works well with neurodivergent clients and recognizes the importance of adapting therapy to the individual rather than expecting the individual to adapt to a particular therapeutic style.

 

Therapy typically begins with an evaluation phase aimed at developing a thorough understanding of the client’s concerns, experiences, strengths, and goals. Depending on the reason for consultation, this process may or may not include a formal diagnosis. From there, Dr. Jobin and the client work collaboratively to identify treatment goals and determine an approach that fits the client’s individual needs.

 

An important part of Dr. Jobin’s work is helping clients understand what they are experiencing and why. She enjoys bringing education into therapy in an accessible and practical way, helping clients better understand themselves, recognize patterns, and develop tools they can use beyond the therapy room. Her approach is generally upbeat and hopeful, while still making space for difficult emotions and experiences. This balance is particularly important in her work with clients experiencing depression, who may have difficulty seeing the possibility of change for themselves.

 

Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, Dr. Jobin integrates evidence-based assessment and therapeutic techniques according to each client’s needs, personality, circumstances, and goals. She draws from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic Psychotherapy. Most often, she works from an integrative perspective, drawing on her clinical experience and different theoretical orientations to guide treatment.

 

Dr. Jobin is a licensed clinical psychologist and a member of the Ordre des psychologues du Québec (OPQ). She has been providing psychotherapy since 2010 and completed her doctoral studies, receiving her Ph.D. in 2017. She has extensive experience working with adults experiencing depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, chronic pain, professional burnout, personality issues, relationship difficulties among a variety of other emotional and life challenges.

Therapy sessions are offered in English and French.
