Blake Psychology has offices located in downtown Montreal (above the McGill metro) and in the West-Island of Montreal, in Pointe-Claire (near the Fairview Mall). Blake Psychology comprises a team of highly qualified psychologists, with a wide range of specialty areas, who provide assessment and psychotherapy services for people of all ages. Dr. Emily Blake has completed 12 years of university-level training in psychology, including her PhD from McGill University. She has worked in hospital, school, university, community, and private practice settings, with a focus on the treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, anger management, and interpersonal difficulties, in both adolescent and adult populations. Her research training has focused on the factors that make psychotherapy effective, and she has published a number of scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals.

Dr. Blake has helped me through one of my hardest times in my life. When I came to see Dr. Blake, I felt lost and didn't know where to go from there. She is such a peaceful, sweet and helpful person! She has the ability to ask me questions I would never think about, which is amazing to me. She helped me strive for the best of myself and I still am!
