Psychological care tailored to your reality
At Centre Fortitude, we offer personalized psychological care in a natural, calm and confidential environment.
Our approach aims to help each person, couple, young person or family to better understand what they are going through, to identify their needs and to develop concrete tools to regain a better psychological balance.
Services may include psychological assessment, psychotherapy, psychoeducation, mental health occupational therapy, individual support, workshops and, as needed, complementary interventions with external professionals.
Each stay is planned according to the client's situation, their objectives and the recommendations of professionals.
Psychological assessment and psychotherapy
Psychological assessment helps to better understand the difficulties experienced, the factors that influence psychological health, and the objectives to be worked on during the process.
This step helps to determine the most appropriate support and to establish a personalized care plan.
Psychotherapy then offers a confidential space to explore difficulties, develop new strategies, and foster lasting change. The approaches used draw primarily on cognitive-behavioral and humanistic perspectives, always respecting each individual's pace and needs.
Psychology, psychoeducation and occupational therapy in mental health
The professionals at the Centre work in various areas of mental health to offer comprehensive and tailored support.
Psychology makes it possible, in particular, to assess and treat various psychological, relational or emotional difficulties.
Psychoeducation helps people to better understand how they function, to develop their coping skills and to acquire concrete tools to face the challenges of everyday life.
Occupational therapy in mental health can support a return to more satisfactory functioning in personal, social, or professional life. It specifically aims to develop or restore the cognitive, emotional, and social skills necessary for daily living.
Individualized support
Each client benefits from support tailored to their situation.
Individual meetings allow for direct work on the personal, relational, or family goals established at the beginning of the stay. The support provided can evolve throughout the week according to observed needs and the team's recommendations.
Workshops may also be offered to address topics related to psychological well-being, stress management, relationships, communication, self-esteem, or coping strategies.
These workshops complement individual care and allow learning to be consolidated in a respectful and safe environment.
A multidisciplinary approach
The Fortitude Centre prioritizes a collaborative approach. Professionals work together to provide consistent care tailored to each client's goals.
Depending on the needs identified during the assessment or during the stay, the Centre may also collaborate with qualified external professionals.
These collaborations may include complementary services in kinesiology, physiotherapy, nutrition, medicine or other areas relevant to the client's approach.
This approach makes it possible to offer comprehensive support, without losing sight of the main objective: to support the psychological health and well-being of the individual, couple or family.
The presence of animals at the Centre
The Fortitude Centre also offers an environment where the presence of animals can contribute to a feeling of calm and security.
The horses, dogs, cats, and small animals present on the site may be part of certain activities or experiences at the Centre. For many people, contact with animals promotes relaxation, grounding in the present moment, and a non-judgmental relationship.
Activities with animals, including horseback riding or equine therapy when offered, are always integrated in a way that is appropriate to the needs, abilities and objectives of the clientele.
Animals are only allowed within the Centre's grounds. They are not permitted in the accommodation buildings.
Care supported by rest and nature
The Centre's psychologists offer clinical assessments that help clients better understand the presence of psychopathology, identify the underlying causes affecting their mental health, and define goals to be addressed during psychotherapy to achieve improved well-being. The primary approaches are cognitive-behavioral and humanistic.
