Jean Cetoute

My communication style

I ask open-ended questions to explore your priorities and help you set clear, actionable goals using the SMART model. We'll assess potential obstacles together and incorporate both short-term and long-term goals. I focus on your strengths and resources throughout our work.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey into mental healthcare began with a deep curiosity about human behavior and a passion for helping others. I'm driven by the privilege of being part of someone's journey toward healing and self-discovery. Seeing patients make progress provides me with a deep sense of fulfillment.

My goals for you

Goal setting is a collaborative process where you participate actively in identifying your own goals. This empowers you and helps you feel more invested and in control of your progress. When you feel understood, supported, and safe, you're more likely to engage openly in the process.

Our first session

During our first session, I'll introduce myself and establish a warm, empathetic tone to help you feel comfortable. I'll review confidentiality and explain its limits. Then I'll ask about the issues or challenges that led you to seek care, helping me understand your primary concerns and reasons for seeking help.

I identify as...

• Male
