Dr. Caminee Blake is a licensed clinical psychologist who earned her Bachelor’s degree at McGill University, her Master’s degree at Carleton University and her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Concordia University. She also completed clinical postdoctoral training in the area of culture and mental health at both Yale University and McGill. Dr. Blake works with adolescents (16+) and their families, as well as adults throughout the lifespan experiencing a variety of difficulties including depression, anxiety disorders, and all life-related stressors.
She has a special interest in working with issues related to culture and all aspects of mental health and well-being. In addition, she worked in the area of health psychology at the MUHC with patients of all ages suffering with chronic medical problems as well as issues related to grief, loss and death. She was formally trained in cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic, and family systems therapy. As such, she uses an eclectic approach to meet the specific needs and goals of her patients, including an acceptance and self compassion approach. Dr. Blake tends to focus on how to best support helpful change and meet client goals while also enhancing important self-awareness and self understanding using a warm, open and authentic approach to our struggles in living. Dr. Blake has trained many future psychologists and also offers clinical supervision to current psychologists as part of her practice. She has taught courses in psychology at both Concordia University and John Abbott College and has given lectures at McGill University. Dr. Blake is a Faculty Lecturer (Professional) in the Department of Psychology. She phased out of her clinical job at the Jewish General Hospital a few years ago — where she worked in the CBT Service and the Youth Service for over 13 years — to devote her time to private practice, and is a founding member of the newly formed Resilience Clinic with partners Dr. Elizabeth Foley and Dr. Fabienne Girard-Bériault.
