Full Bio:
JC Dumont is a registered provisional psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP) and a Canadian Certified Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA)....He holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Neuroscience, as well as a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology. Over the course of his career, JC has conducted over 12,000 hours of clinical practice and worked with over 4,000 clients, including first responders and veterans, couples and families, as well as adolescence and adults. He has learned the key role of personal transformative experiences in understanding human nature. Just as he assists his clients on a path of self-discovery and development, he takes time to learn more about himself by participating in personal growth courses and engaging in philosophical studies.
His practice is guided by the principles of humanistic psychology, evolutionary psychology, and cognitive-behavioural therapy. Since working as a mental health therapist, JC has learned that while stories change, the lessons learned stay the same. Indeed, while our experiences are unique, the lessons we learn reflect both our unique individuality and shared humanity. Based on what he has learned from his own experiences and that of others’, JC is able to provide clients insights into the behavioural habits, emotional reactions, and patterns of thought that entrap them.
By making clear observations, providing timely insights, and attempting to heal old wounds, JC helps clients recognize the causes of the difficult situations they face. Our minds try to protect us from the harshness of reality by projecting an image of how we wish to be perceived, rather than who we truly are. As a result, we unmistakably miss our true essence! However, just as the brain must be grounded in reality to heal and function optimally, the mind requires silence to think clearly. Therefore, a common goal in session is to distinguish fact from fiction, and illusion from reality. In short, JC assists his clients in recognizing their human potential and points them toward the tools they need to embody what they can be.
