My name is Dr. Ouellette and have been working with BetterHelp for some time now. My practice has evolved and changed in ways that necessitate a re-introduction ...
My name is Dr. Claude Ouellette. Over the years, I have acquired a Ph.D. in Psychology, as well as the Mental Health Professional (MHP) and Child Mental Health Specialist (CMHS) credentials. This is less impressive than the pursuit of excellence which I am currently undertaking via a Ph.D. in Psychoanalysis (degree which I hope to complete in the next 3 to 4 years).
I have, as a practitioner, over 30+ years of experience in providing mental health services – from intake, to assessment, to counseling/psychotherapy, to key collaborative work. While I continue to enjoy these aspects of my work, I will focus my work at BetterHelp, according to the following parameters:
1- I will work exclusively with individuals struggling with a dissociation identity disorder (aka DID).
2- As a structured individual, therapy can be negotiated but needs to include (a) an informal dialogue to assess needs, (b) the use of assessment(s), and (c) a dialogue as to how to monitor progress over time.
3- As my patient, be aware that I plan to use Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Ego State interventions.
4- Also, be aware you might be asked to participate in a doctoral-level study. Participation has always and remains voluntary – we can talk about this as we work together.
If these work parameters are acceptable to you, we can talk and define the kind of work we can to together, Dr. Ouellette

Clinical approaches: Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Mindfulness Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Trauma-Focused Therapy

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Claude Ouellette. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Claude has been great throughout our time together. He is very knowledgeable and a very good listener/responder. I have fragmented thoughts, but he breaks down each thought carefully and makes me feel like things I'm saying are normal. I appreciate Dr. Claude a lot.
