Marie-France Anagnostopoulos

Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), Intern.

BA. B'Ed. MACP (Candidate)

Are you a parent struggling to support your child’s emotional well-being, a young person feeling lost and overwhelmed, or a woman searching for balance and meaning in your life? Navigating these challenges can feel isolating, but you don’t have to do it alone.

With over a decade of experience as a French Immersion teacher, I have worked closely with children, youth, and families, helping them overcome academic, social, and emotional struggles. I have seen firsthand how mental health impacts learning, relationships, and self-esteem, and I am deeply passionate about providing the support young people need to thrive. My years in the classroom were not just about teaching curriculum—they were about listening, guiding, and creating safe spaces where students could express themselves and feel understood.

Now, as a therapist-in-training and intern at Batool Psychotherapy & Wellness, I bring my expertise in child development, education, and emotional well-being into my therapeutic work. I am committed to helping children and adolescents navigate anxiety, self-doubt, school stress, and family challenges. Whether your child is struggling with emotional regulation, confidence, or relationships, I offer a compassionate and collaborative approach to help them develop the tools they need to succeed.

Beyond my work with youth, I also support women—especially mothers—who feel disconnected from themselves while balancing family, career, and personal growth. Many women I work with are navigating the emotional toll of motherhood, relationship transitions, and the search for their own identity beyond their roles.

As a bilingual (French-English) therapist-in-training, I integrate creative and expressive approaches, including my deep connection to music, to foster healing and self-discovery. I believe that every child, adolescent, and woman has the strength within them to overcome challenges, and I am here to provide the guidance and support needed to unlock that potential.

You deserve to feel whole, supported, and empowered. Let’s work together to bright out the best in your child—and yourself.
