Bhavani Britt McDougall, under the supervision of Amanda Hankins, MSW, T.S., offers therapy to adolescents and adults (individuals and couples) looking to understand their patterns, reconnect with themselves, and live with greater clarity and fulfillment.
Bhavani is currently completing her Master of Psychotherapy and Spirituality with St. Stephen's College, affiliated with the University of Alberta. She values interdependence, reverence, and adventure. Years of cross-cultural experience—alongside her own Anglo-European and Jamaican ancestry—have shaped her fascination with identity, belonging, and healing, and how individual, familial, cultural, and collective experiences interact to inform both suffering and well-being.
Bhavani offers a warm, collaborative space grounded in humanistic, experiential, and systems-based approaches, with a relational, body-aware, and spiritually integrative style informed by extensive training in nervous system attunement and trauma restoration. She's particularly drawn to supporting clients working through longstanding patterns, traumatization, toxic stress, attachment wounds, and existential disorientation — often by slowing down to track what's happening in the body and emotions in real time, and building new ways of relating to self and others. Her focus is on strengthening a client's connection with themself to support change aligned with their own values and goals.
Prior to joining Altera as a Clinical Intern, Bhavani spent years in dedicated spiritual practice and community service alongside youth, families, and communities, which drew her toward deeper study of the psychospiritual and collective dimensions of suffering and well-being. Outside the clinic, she enjoys dancing, singing kirtan, meditating, biking, hiking, and good conversation.
As a clinician at Clinique Altera, clients benefit from Bhavani's attentive care alongside the guidance of Altera's team-based clinical model. She offers therapy in-person in Montréal and virtually across Québec. Sliding-scale fees start at $100 per 50-minute session making high-quality, trauma-informed care more accessible to individuals seeking support.
Recognizing the need for support is wisdom in itself—Bhavani warmly welcomes clients to book a consultation to explore fit.
