About Me
Clinician-researcher with 15+ years experience
I’m Vera Békés, PhD, clinical psychologist, a licensed psychologist and university professor based in Montréal, Quebec. I am here to offer you space, support, and guidance to help you cope and grow through life’s complex and difficult matters. As a professor, I research what makes psychotherapy work, and I use the latest empirical evidence in my work with clients.
​
I have more than 15 years of clinical experience, and I find my work with clients deeply fulfilling. I am specialized in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, and depression, and I have provided therapy, and also published in scientific papers on these topics. I have an integrative approach, meaning that I use elements from psychodynamic, cognitive-behaviour, existentialist, and other therapeutic approaches flexibly, in order to provide the most effective help in your situation.
