Gottman Referral Network

About

My name is Cindy Tsay. I am a trauma-informed Certified Marriage and Family Therapist and a Registered Art Therapist in Quebec, Canada. I provide tele-therapy within the Quebec province and in-person relational therapy services in Montreal. I work with individuals, couples, and families in my practice. My area of specializations include Couples Therapy with the focus of using the relationship research and interventions informed through the Gottman Institute and Art Therapy interventions with the narrative therapy approach.

My commitment as a relational art therapist is to provide the safest relationship context and a creative space for my clients to foster meaningful relationships by developing a greater self-compassion and compassion for others.

As a second generation immigrant with a TCK background, I am sensitive to how our larger cultural, spiritual, and family contexts shape the way we experience life and in our intimate relationships. In therapy, I am dedicated to listening, taking the time to understand the layered interpersonal dynamics, and providing space for my clients to practice effective relational tools in the therapy sessions.

As a relational therapist, I take a collaborative approach to shaping the goal of therapy through a full initial assessment of your strengths as well as areas of growth. With this assessment I will co-design a course of treatment that is clear, research-informed, adaptable, and one tailored towards my couples’ pace, circumstances and priorities.
