Our Team

Louise Pilon is a clinical psychologist and has been working in the HIV field since 1990. She worked as a psychologist on the HIV/AIDS team at the CLSC des Faubourgs for about twelve years. At the same time, she practiced in a private clinic specializing in HIV for over 20 years. Recently, she decided to join our team, bringing her invaluable expertise. She is familiar with the issues and difficulties associated with HIV, homosexuality, or sexual identity. She has several presentations at international conferences to her credit and has been a trainer for all stakeholders in the health network.

Concerned about the quality of care, she enhanced her psychology training with a master's degree in clinical ethics. Depending on your needs, she can help you better understand the ethical issues concerning your situation or that of a loved one. She draws on a brief strategic approach and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques.

Antoine Pennou is a psychologist who works with adult clients. He holds a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Montreal and is a member of the Order of Psychologists of Quebec. Antoine regularly employs an approach that combines experiential, cognitive-behavioral, and relational methods. He pays particular attention to the appropriation of lived experiences both inside and outside the therapeutic relationship to promote change. His work is always conducted within a collaborative framework, and his therapeutic style emphasizes kindness, curiosity, and openness. He also frequently uses mindfulness-based meditative approaches. His experiences as an interventionist within community organizations in Montreal have enabled him to develop sensitivity and skills in supporting individuals from various marginalized communities. He also completed an internship at the Chronic Viral Infections Clinic at the CHUM, where he worked with immigrant and LGBTQ+ clients. He offers psychotherapy services for issues such as anxiety/stress management, sadness/depression, grief, self-esteem, perfectionism, traumatic experiences, addiction issues (alcoholism/drug addiction), relationship problems, attachment issues, emotional dependence, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and shyness.
