Become the Author of your own life.

About

I'm Hélène.

"Supporting individuals and families to become the authors of their lives, rather than implementing others' visions of their lives."

That line is the anchor of the work at C-G Health. Seventeen years of practice across three continents — Europe, North America, and South America — have shaped a way of working that takes seriously how much of the difficulty people bring to therapy started as someone else's script: a family expectation, a cultural role, or a professional identity that stopped fitting.

The therapy offered here is precise rather than performative. It first examines the patterns of the last several years — the behaviours, the emotional map, the recurring cognitive habits — and then, only then, moves collaboratively into what to change. Understanding first. Decisions second.

Sessions run in English or French, or a natural mix of the two — a genuinely bilingual practice that almost nobody in Maryland offers. For Francophone clients, that means the language of your inner life doesn't have to be translated on the way out.

Couples work is the primary specialty — the practice draws heavily on Schema, Emotionally Focused, and Gottman approaches — and runs alongside individual work on anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, and the identity questions that arise at every stage from young adulthood through later life.

Veterans and first responders are welcome; the work with them is grounded in what actually happens in high-pressure lives, not a generic template. And as an LCPC and Substance Use Clinicians Board-Approved Supervisor in Maryland, the clinical bar is consistently held high — for you, and for the clinicians trained here.
