Therapists in K2A

I work with individuals and couples experiencing trauma, grief/loss, anxiety, and relationship disruptions. I have a special interest in Somatic Experiencing and Parts Work, with couples I follow the PACT approach (Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy) although we may draw on other approaches as they suit your needs.

Thanks for stopping by! I’m Alicia and would love to support you with exploring your inner world(s). I know how challenging it can be to do so and I am hopeful that by working as a team, it will bring some clarity surrounding your journey. I am passionate about helping clients find their voice and reaching a place within themselves where they feel safe and compassionate. My goal is to create a warm, non-judgmental space for clients to feel comfortable to bring in any thought or concern that they would like to discuss throughout our sessions.

Is life a little overwhelming right now? Are you looking for someone to help support you as you make some changes or explore options? Therapy can offer a space where you feel supported, valued, able, and safe to explore any topics that life may throw at you - whether that be fertility, pregnancy loss, stress management, relationship issues, or becoming a new parent.

Hi there, I’m Katerina! It can be extremely daunting to take the first step to start therapy, but I would be happy to join you on your mental health journey. I like to work collaboratively with clients as you are the expert, and you know yourself best. My approach to therapy is a holistic one, where we will use a variety of treatment modalities to find the one that best suits you. Some of the treatment approaches we may use include Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Brief Solution-focused Therapy (BSFT), and Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT).

Connection to self and others gives life meaning. It can be difficult to feel connected when we feel depressed, isolated and disconnected or unsatisfied in our relationships. Whether its past complex trauma, a traumatic event, a personal challenge in life or other issue, I would be honoured to be a part of your journey back to you. I also work with couples using the psychobiological approach to couples therapy and assist couples towards secure functioning. In addition, I offer workplaces workshops to employees on mental health and support to managers. Learn more about me at: www.tcapc.ca

I originate from a Northern Ontario community but have been happily settled in the Ottawa area for over 20 years. I am a bilingual (fluent in French and English), Social Worker and it has been my great pleasure to work in the field of mental health social work with Children, Youth and Adults since 2006. I believe that everyone runs into challenges in their life that they shouldn't be expected to resolve alone and I am happy to be there to guide them on their road to recovery. Lets work together to re-establish fulfillment in your life.

I am a Registered Master of Social Work, practicing clinical Psychotherapy. I work with individuals, couples, adolescents and seniors treating issues of stress, depression, anger management, workplace issues and burnout, grief and loss, relationship issues, marital/relationship counselling, parenting issues, separation and remarriage support. Life stage transitions and the role of family of origin and of culture in communication and in the perception of situations are a special interest. We handle life with the tools with which we have learned to survive. Therapy helps us to reassess and adjust these coping strategies to our present day context.

My services are tailored towards your particular circumstances and needs. With professional help you can start to make progress, work on your goals, overcome stumbling blocks, acquire coping skills, build resilience and resolve your issues.

Sometimes, you may feel stuck, overwhelmed or at a lower state. You may think that hardship won’t end, you can’t see a way forward. It takes courage to begin taking steps toward starting therapy.I have great respect for you for making the decision to prioritizing your well-being. One of the most effective ways is to work collaboratively with your therapist to get an insight into the roots of your problems & learning the skills to work through them. You may come to deal with anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, trauma, transitions or relationship issues. In a safe, non-judgmental, and comfortable environment, you can reach your goals.

Whether you self-identify as an ADHDer or love someone who is, if you want support from someone who really gets it, I can help. If you seek answers to the challenges that often go with being an ADHDer, or if you're newly diagnosed and seek guidance on moving forward, I can help. If overwhelm, stress, or anxiety is making it difficult to function, I can help. If you're feeling misunderstood, alone, frustrated or hopeless in a relationship with an ADHDer or non ADHD partner, I can help. If you seek a better connection with those who matter, but struggle to create healthy boundaries and communication, I can help.

I offer assessment, therapy, and consultation services to adults and couples contending with a range of challenges related to adjustment to significant life events and transitions, anxiety, depression, end-of-life considerations, grief and loss, interpersonal difficulties, post-traumatic stress, and treatment adherence. While I emphasize an experiential (i.e., emotion-focused, mindfulness-based) approach to therapy, integrated within interpersonal and systems frameworks, I am also able to draw on cognitive-behavioural techniques.

Life can be tough and our inner struggles can become overwhelming. Navigating the depths of our own distress may be a daunting task. Luckily, we don't have to be alone.

I have experience working with a range of issues: PTSD and trauma, depression/anxiety, self-esteem, substance use, relationship issues and more.

Together, we will find clarity in your struggles and identify barriers to work around them. We will develop healthier coping skills to improve your sense of security. I strive to help you love yourself again and reach your full potential. Online booking is available at the end of this webpage at My Website.

As human beings, we encounter many difficult and challenging times in our lives. Taking that very first step into seeking help and healing is by far the hardest to do, however, it also suggests that you may be ready to do the necessary work. It is amazing to witness the ability of individuals to make big or small changes in their lives, all while exploring parts of themselves that they may not have known existed. Hence, I would be honored to be part of this journey and appreciative of each step taken to achieve your goals all while helping you live a better life.
