Dr. de Faye received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Ottawa in 2002. Her doctoral thesis, which looked at how patients with advanced cancer coped with the many stressors associated with their diagnosis, was supported in part by a Canadian Palliative Care Association/CIHR Postdoctoral Fellowship Award.
After graduation Dr. de Faye worked in private practice in Ontario providing psychotherapy and assessment services for adults. Her areas of practice are clinical and rehabilitation psychology with a particular interest in chronic pain and the issues (stress, anxiety disorders, depression and PTSD) that often accompany chronic pain. Dr. de Faye also offers the Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach for the treatment of insomnia. An additional area of interest is in assisting in adjustment to the change and uncertainty associated with serious physical illness and its treatment. Dr. de Faye's approach to therapy includes cognitive-behavioral techniques, EMDR, hypnosis, imagery and relaxation training. Dr. de Faye is also a registered Pain and Disability Program (PDP) provider. For more information, please click on the Pain and Disability Program.
