Our Therapy Services in west Ottawa

Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety can show up as constant worry, panic, physical tension, or feeling stuck in your own thoughts. Our anxiety therapy in Ottawa supports adults, teens, and children in understanding their nervous system, reducing overwhelm, and building steadier coping strategies so anxiety no longer runs the show.

Trauma Therapy

Trauma can affect how you feel in your body, your relationships, and your sense of safety long after the event has passed. Our trauma therapists offer approaches that support healing and respect your pace, supports nervous system regulation, and helps you reconnect with yourself and others.

ADHD Therapy

ADHD is more than difficulty with focus - it can impact emotions, relationships, self-esteem, and daily functioning - but it also gives us superpowers! Our ADHD therapy helps children, teens, and adults develop practical strategies, self-understanding, and nervous system support so life feels more manageable and less exhausting.

Therapy for Children

Children often express stress, anxiety, or big feelings through behaviour rather than words. Our therapy for children in Ottawa supports emotional regulation, confidence, and resilience through developmentally appropriate modalities like play therapy and art therapy.

Therapy for Teens

Adolescence can bring heightened emotions, identity questions, anxiety, and relationship stress. Our therapy for teens offers a supportive, non-judgmental space where teens can build coping skills, strengthen self-understanding, and feel more grounded as they navigate growing independence.

Couples Therapy

Couples therapy helps partners understand patterns, repair ruptures, and strengthen emotional connection. We work with couples to improve communication, feel closer, and create more secure, responsive relationships - even when things feel stuck or overwhelming.

Therapy for LGBTQ2S+

We offer LGBTQ2S+ affirming therapy for individuals seeking a space that understands the real-life impacts of identity, relationships, family, and belonging. Therapy may not be rooted in identity at all, but you’ll find a therapist with experience and understanding of your world.

Therapy for Autistic Folks

Our therapists work with autistic adults seeking support with overwhelm, burnout, relationships, identity, work stress, and nervous system regulation. We honour your ways of thinking and sensing, and building strategies that reduce exhaustion while increasing self-trust. Neurodivergent-affirming, consent-based, and strengths-aware.

Somatic Therapy

Somatic therapy focuses on how stress, trauma, and emotion live in the body and moves beyond “talk therapy”. Sessions may involve gentle attention to sensation, breath, movement, or pacing, alongside conversation. This approach can be especially helpful for anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, and feeling “stuck” despite insight.

Grief and Loss

Grief can follow death, separation, illness, infertility, or other profound life changes. Our grief and loss therapy in Ottawa offers compassionate support to help you process emotions, honour what’s been lost, and find steadier ground as you move forward - at your own pace.

Therapy for Women

Women often seek therapy while navigating caregiving, relationships, identity shifts, burnout, trauma, or life transitions. Our therapy for women provides a thoughtful, integrative space to explore emotional patterns, reconnect with yourself, and build sustainable ways of coping and caring

Family Therapy

Family therapy supports families in improving communication, navigating conflict, and strengthening connection during times of stress or transition. We work collaboratively with parents and children to understand patterns, support emotional safety, and foster healthier family relationships.

Brainspotting

Brainspotting is a trauma-informed therapy that works with the brain and nervous system to process experiences that may be difficult to access through talking alone. Using focused attention and attunement, Brainspotting can support healing from trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, and emotional overwhelm.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) helps people build practical skills for managing intense emotions, relationship challenges, and patterns that feel hard to interrupt. DBT-informed therapy may focus on emotional regulation, distress tolerance, communication, and self-respect.

Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT-informed) supports individuals and couples in understanding patterns of disconnection, emotional reactivity, and unmet attachment needs. Therapists using this lens focus on emotional safety, responsiveness, and strengthening secure connection, while tailoring the work to each client’s goals and readiness.
