About
Dr. Marie C. Dumas
Welcome to my consulting practice! I'm so glad to have the opportunity to introduce myself. I am a Wellness Consultant serving adults, families, and couples. I deliver consulting sessions via secure online videoconferencing, or onsite, upon request, to the international English-speaking, and English-French bilingual community.
Unlike a self-proclaimed coach or counselor, with no specific education or training, I hold both a Master's and Doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology. Though I no longer practice clinical psychology, I offer consulting services from the perspective of extensive professional and ethically informed competence formed over 25+ years of clinical experience.
I now work exclusively from a wellness consulting approach with diverse populations seeking enhanced wellbeing, see here for more detail. Special populations I serve in addition to adults, families and couples, includes international persons (immigrants and expats), persons suffering from burnout, LGBTQIA+, military and veterans, those experiencing trauma/loss, fertility challenges, families with addiction, relational problems, and those with occupational, life change adjustment, or acculturation challenges.
In 2011, I began a journey into telemental health service delivery and became certified. I truly believe that as a provider of wellness services, it is my responsibility to aid in reducing barriers to getting help.
Please explore my website and contact me if I can be of further assistance. I look forward to assisting you in your journey for wellbeing.
Individual Wellness Sessions begin with a consultation and then introductions and 90 minutes of initial assessment. Thereafter, sessions typically occur weekly or bi weekly, for 50 minutes depending on the need.
Couples Wellness Sessions begin with a consultation and then introductions and 90 minutes of initial assessment of both partners. Thereafter, sessions typically occur weekly for 90 minutes depending on the need. Family constellations involving more than two parties or complex histories may take additional time for assessment.
Bespoke Sessions are completely customizable and suited best to those seeking to accomplish a goal in an accelerated or limited time frame. Intensive sessions include an accelerated assessment schedule and in depth solution-focused interventions. Intensive weekly or weekend immersion sessions are offered onsite or online.
