About
A social worker of French-Hispanic origin, I offer support rooted in active listening and compassion to assist individuals, couples, and families at every stage of their journey.
How I work
I take an integrative approach, adapting to each person's reality and needs. I consider inner experiences as much as life contexts. My support is humanistic in nature, centered on the relationship, with a collaborative stance where the person is considered the expert of their own experience, while paying attention to relational and social realities that may influence the difficulties they face.
Camila self-identifies as Latinx / Hispanic, French-Canadian / Québécois, and Expat / immigrant.

Where I work
Good to know
Questions you might have (but haven't asked yet)Which client groups do you work with?
I work with adolescents and adults as well as couples and families. I also provide follow‑up services to individuals covered by IVAC. I also provide services for La Vigile, the Bar of Quebec Members Assistance Program (PAMBA), the Treasury Board Secretariat and the National Assembly.
For what reasons can one consult you?
People consult me mainly for anxiety, periods of overload, emotional or relational difficulties, a separation, bereavement, family conflicts, life transitions, issues related to immigration, or the consequences of traumatic events. It is not necessary to have a diagnosis to seek help.
What is your approach?
My approach is integrative, humanistic and collaborative. I consider each person an expert of their own experience. Together, we seek to better understand the difficulties encountered, the dynamics that maintain them, and the desired changes. I also offer concrete tools when they can be useful.
What is a first meeting like?
The first meeting allows us to get to know each other, discuss what brings you to seek therapy, and clarify your needs. We also explore your expectations and goals to determine how follow‑up could help you. It is also an opportunity to see if you feel comfortable with my approach.
Do you offer sessions in French and Spanish?
Yes. Sessions can be conducted entirely in French or in Spanish. It is also possible to switch from one language to the other depending on what allows you to express your experience most accurately.
Are sessions offered in person or online?
I offer in‑person sessions in Montreal, in the Mercier–Hochelaga‑Maisonneuve area, as well as via videoconference. The format can be chosen according to your needs and my availability.
What is the duration and fee of the sessions?
Individual and couple sessions typically last 50 minutes. Family sessions can last 60 minutes. Fees are $135 for individual follow‑up, $165 for couple follow‑up, and $195 for family follow‑up. Longer sessions can also be arranged as needed and by agreement. The fee is then prorated based on the session length.
Are sessions covered by insurance?
I provide a social worker receipt for each session. Several group insurance plans cover social worker services, but the terms vary. I recommend checking directly with your insurer.
Do you accept individuals covered by IVAC?
Yes, I offer psychosocial follow‑up to individuals eligible for IVAC. A valid authorization is required so that sessions can be billed according to the program’s provisions.
How do couple and family follow‑up take place?
The sessions provide a safe setting where each person can express their experience and be heard. We aim to better understand relational dynamics, improve communication, and foster more satisfying interactions. My role is not to determine who is right, but to support a more nuanced understanding of the situation and each person's needs.
How often do the sessions occur?
The frequency is set together based on your needs, goals, situation, and my availability. Sessions can occur weekly, every two weeks, or more spaced out as the follow‑up evolves.
How can I know if your support is suitable for me?
You can write to me by briefly describing your situation and the type of support you are seeking. I can let you know if your request aligns with my scope of practice and services. When needs exceed my scope, I can refer you to a more appropriate resource.
