When does exceeding one's limits become the norm?
We don't always realize everything we do to keep moving forward, because we are more focused on the objectives set:
"I have to do my job."
"I have to take care of my children."
"Others are counting on me."
"I need to remain effective."
"I'll rest when it's over."
When we operate this way for a long time, we can end up no longer noticing all the energy it requires from us.
And often, it works… until it works less well.
"I didn't realize how much energy I was expending just to keep everything going."
This is a thought we often hear in support roles.
Our approach
it starts with you
Our goal is not to push you to do less, nor to push you to start doing more again as quickly as possible.
First, we want to understand how you operate and what you actually experience on a daily basis.
Our approach is based on a space of listening, empathy, and non-judgment. Together, we seek to understand what drains your energy, what overwhelms you, what helps you, and the strategies you have developed over time.
From there, we can work on tools adapted to your reality, better recognize your needs and support you in regaining confidence in your abilities and gradually building a more balanced daily life.
The goal is not to change who you are.
You can continue to be ambitious, committed, caring, creative, or passionate about what you do.
We want to help you pursue what is important to you, while also leaving room for you. Our priority is that you can feel functional , confident and fulfilled in your daily life, with a way of working that is truly sustainable in the long term.
How did it all begin?
Before becoming an occupational therapist, our founder, Dan-Mai Pham , began her university studies in psychology. Mental health already greatly interested her, and it was through discovering occupational therapy that she found an approach that particularly resonated with her desire to support people: focusing on activities, on everything that makes up our days and gives meaning to our daily lives, seemed to her to be a natural starting point for supporting people in their recovery.
A team that grows around a shared vision
With growing mental health needs, what began as a solo practice is now evolving into a small team.
By growing the team, we primarily want to preserve what is important to us: a human and personalized approach, supported by therapists who share the same vision while each having their own strengths and expertise.
Thus, each therapist brings their own color, which allows us to respond to different realities and needs.
No matter who you work with, we want you to find a space of listening, empathy and non-judgment, where time is taken to understand your reality before working with you to find what could really help you.
