Therapists in Ottawa, ON

What matters most is finding the right support for you, getting to workable solutions through professional collaboration with the right counsellor. For many life challenges, this means having a professional ally like Howard, as thousands of satisfied clients have experienced first-hand. After 15 years of counselling experience in Vancouver campus and agency settings, he recently spent over 2.5 years as a popular counsellor for students at Algonquin College, assisting adult students addressing challenges on a range of the "issues" listed on this page. Howard relishes fostering mental health, wellness, and strategies for adult life.

Finding a therapist can be overwhelming! The men I see feel stuck, lost, powerless, distracted, disconnected, or broken. Men often struggle with their mental health without seeking help for far too long. I work with men from all walks of life who struggle with managing ADHD and other neurodivergent challenges, career and life transitions, sports performance anxiety, depression, grief and loss, and addiction. In each of these instances, my aim is to help provide a safe, supportive, and therapeutic setting for you to learn more about yourself and find healing.

As a social work trained psychotherapist (Ontario) with over a decade of private practice experience, I hope to bring an open and accepting mind to a wide variety of clientele. Finding a good fit in a therapist is so hard, especially if it is your first time reaching out for help. It can be daunting. To me a good therapeutic space is one in which trust and compassion can be established, where a person can feel both supported and sometimes gently challenged, and where a relationship is created in which one can feel not only heard, but also understood.

I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship challenges, and career and workplace difficulties. I specialize in the treatment of childhood and intergenerational trauma. I can help you calm dysregulated nervous system responses, deepen your understanding of yourself, increase emotional awareness and improve emotional regulation, work with you to confront and shift self-limiting beliefs and response patterns, and help you cultivate self-acceptance and self-love.

I work with a range of clients including those in the LGBTQ+ community, those from different cultures. The majority of my clients are individuals at the moment, I am a sex positive, poly-aware therapist who works with and respects all relationships. If you're feeling stuck (life or career), grieving, depressed or anxious I am happy to work with you. I specialize in life transitions, relationships, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.

Modern life is challenging. Perhaps you feel anxiety about your career, relationship, health, education, or the state of the world. Perhaps you are overwhelmed by how busy you are or how much others rely on you, leaving no time or capacity to pursue your own goals and desires. Or perhaps you are experiencing depression, loneliness, powerlessness, or a general dissatisfaction with life. Whatever challenges you face, the right therapist can act as a dedicated co-navigator by your side to chart your path forward. I would love the opportunity to play that role for you.

With extensive experience working with university and college students, emerging adults, members of marginalized communities, diverse newcomers, and coaching executives, I offer you a trained ear. Client issues include feeling stuck, mood issues, mind on overdrive, and managing transitions. Let us find ways to not only survive but also thrive in all areas of your life (school, career, community, family and so on). Clients can expect to develop acceptance, change behaviours, and use strengths to improve well-being.

Life can be challenging, and we commonly face difficulties in our personal lives, relationships, family, and career. These challenges can be overwhelming and make finding joy in life hard.

By working together, we can tap into your inner strength and knowledge to help you gain clarity, heal from past wounds, and improve your mental well-being. So, I can support you in gaining clarity to repair the past and restore peace to your present situation.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist who works with adolescents (18 and older), adults and seniors in a safe and supportive environment to help with the treatment of depression, anxiety, self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship issues, life transitions, identity, problems adjusting to life situations, career decision making and stress management. I am collaborative in my approach and work with clients to help increase awareness, gain insight and translate the new insight into moving forward in different ways. In addition, I focus on helping clients identify and build on existing strengths and develop resilience.

Right now our world is at a new level of unpredictability and may be triggering uncomfortable feelings. I am here to create a safe and supportive space for you to explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences within transitions life presents. In our work together we practice and reflect on the integration of new strategies to meet your needs on a deeper level, often involving mindfulness and self-compassion, trauma informed somatic experiencing, and attachment and ego-state (i.e. inner child & critic) therapeutic approaches.

Stuck in a bit of a rut? Maybe haven't been feeling like yourself for a while? Thinking about changing in your something but don't know what?

I believe that we all have the tools we need to move in our desired direction - sometimes we just need a reminder that they are there, and sometimes we need a little help dusting them off.
