Camille Zolopa is a Counselling Psychology doctoral student at McGill University. She holds a Masters degree from Fordham University, where she studied responses to traumatic stress among Latinx people. Her dissertation project investigates harm reduction and service use among Indigenous people who use drugs in Montréal. This research has deepened her understanding of the systemic and cultural factors that impact mental health. Camille provides culturally sensitive, 2SLGBTQIA+-affirming care grounded in her understanding of racial and social justice.

During her clinical training at the McGill Psychoeducational and Counselling Clinic, Camille has worked with clients regarding interpersonal concerns, anxiety, burnout, and queer identity development using trauma-informed approaches. Providing clients with a calm, curious, nonjudgemental, dependable presence, she seeks to identify clients’ strengths, and collaborates with clients and supervisors to determine a course of therapy that honours those strengths. As she further develops her skills at Connecte she will integrate cognitive-behavioral therapies into her therapeutic approach.

Outside of research and clinical practice, Camille enjoys tomatoes, long walks, old movies, and sunny days in the park with loved ones.
