Therapists in K1V

I work with adult clients, using an integrative approach that employs techniques from Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Existential, Narrative, and Depth Psychology. I am queer-identifying, gender and sexuality-affirming, weight-inclusive, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and sex positive. I have a special interest in helping asexual spectrum clients, gender non-binary clients, and other LGBTQIA2S+ folx. I also love working with clients who are spiritual, and clients who are artistic and/or creative.

As a therapist, I value human strength to overcome challenging moments. I believe that you have within you what it takes to face life's challenges and strive. You only need extra support, encouragement, and empowerment to build resiliency and live a fulfilling life. I dedicated my last six years supporting children, adults, youth, and families with different socio-economic needs and from diverse communities facing immigration challenges, life transitions, loss, anxiety, and trauma. With a background in Neurosciences, and social work, I am equipped with extensive knowledge and skills to tailor intervention to meet client's needs.

Do you struggle with anxiety or low mood? Do you want to improve your relationships? Do you want to reconnect with your intuition and align with your inner purpose?

Depending on the challenges that you would like to overcome, I will create an individualized approach to help you navigate the difficult times you are facing. I combine over 13 years of experience in mental health therapy to support my clients in overcoming depression, anxiety and disordered eating.

Welcoming new clients. From coping with stress; to weaving your way through loss, trauma, or PTSD; feeling isolated, disenfranchised, or down; or figuring out how to live more connected to yourself and others, I hold space for you with deep compassion, respect and integrity. You will be greeted with authentic human connection through professional virtual therapy. I use humour (when appropriate) and warm skillful directness to help you throughout your therapy journey. Whether you are a young adult, someone working on their chapter three, or somewhere in between, I work with adults in Ontario seeking one-on-one virtual therapy.

Do you live with Chronic Pain? Are you struggling with a Chronic Illness? Is dealing with the health care system exhausting and challenging? Do you find it difficult to communicate your needs with your family, friends, or employer? Is it hard to manage your daily activities like the demands of work, home, or parenting? I have developed a deep understanding of the complex physical, emotional, and social factors that contribute to chronic pain. It’s what I do! I’ve been there. I have lived experience with chronic pain which is now behind me. My practice is solely virtual with clients who are residents or physically located in Ontario.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, ready for change? I am here to provide a safe and comfortable space where we can explore your concerns together. Whether you are struggling with self-acceptance, depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, or otherwise, these concerns may be negatively impacting your quality of life. Therapy can help. Through our work together, we will strive to reduce the symptoms causing you distress and do our best to create positive change to lead to a life that is more rewarding, fulfilling, and valuable for you.

I am now accepting clients! I am deeply committed to walk by your side and support you to overcome your own challenges. I have gained a deep understanding of the mind, body connection and the importance of whole-healing. I strongly believe in creating a safe space where you can unfold and heal, I work from a holistic perspective where every aspect of your being is considered. I specialize in working with motivated young adults who are experiencing anxiety, low-self esteem and trauma.

I endeavour to help you get to the root of what is causing your distress. I view anxiety, depression, lack of self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and anger as symptoms of unhealed wounds from your painful experiences. Together, we will work through issues and challenges in your life caused by: childhood trauma, significant life changes (divorce, infidelity, job loss, career changes), grief and loss, shock traumas (natural disasters, accidents, diagnosis of a critical illness, experiences of war and terrorism), systemic trauma (experiences of discrimination, inequality, poverty, and the difficulties of immigration).

No waitlist/Accepting new clients. Hello and thank you for taking the time to check out my profile. My name is Joshua Giroux and I am a Counsellor based out of Ottawa Canada. Sometimes people just need someone to listen to them and affirm their experiences so that they can begin to grow and heal. I offer many styles of counselling but just listening and holding a non judgemental space for you is my first goal. I hope that you reach out and that we can begin this journey of growth and compassion together.

Stressed? Overwhelmed? Burnt out? Struggling to make sense of the world? Trying to figure out where you fit in? I take a radically compassionate approach to supporting folks who are trying to navigate the complexities of life today.

A life filled with joy and happiness is one that we all desire. Are you struggling with stress or anxiety, unsure of what the root cause might be, or maybe feeling defeated in your current situation and don’t know how to navigate your next steps? You may also belong to the BIPOC or LGBTQA community and battling internal as well as external conflict. Through our work together we will unpack what is holding you back and feeling stuck. You are not alone, I am here to support you through this journey to find peace and enlightenment.

Welcome and thank you for stopping by! It is never easy to take the step towards change, yet, here you are taking that very step. Perhaps you've been worn down by life or you are stuck because of an inner conflict. Do you have trouble identifying and accepting your emotions or are mired in self-defeating beliefs and irrational thoughts? I can help. I embrace a compassion-focused approach which helps to ease your burdens, alleviate your hurt and lessen your struggles. I provide a warm, confidential and non-judgmental space that fosters a quieting of the mind that enable and empower you to actualize your hopes, dreams, and ideas.

I treat issues that are principally related to difficulties with emotion regulation. When an individual is persistently distressed it becomes increasingly challenging for that person to be present for life in the current moment. This is especially the case when one comes to rely upon escape strategies in order to cope, such as behaviours that have addictive potential. When we are not able to be mindfully present, all aspects of our lives suffer.

I provide psycho-educational assessments for children, adolescents, and adults. Psycho-educational assessments are used to clarify an individual's learning style and academic ability. They may be used to identify giftedness or to diagnose learning disorders, intellectual disabilities, and behavioral disorders.

Please email to book a phone consultation — Have you noticed a change in your libido or in the way your body functions when it comes to sex? Have you found yourself questioning your relationships? Maybe these areas are creating great stress, anxiety, or hurt in your life and you’ve been having trouble managing it all. Life can be hard, but taking time to focus on yourself, accessing support, and leaning into that discomfort can often make it a bit easier. I’m here to walk alongside you in your journey to achieving the pleasure you deserve.

As a therapist, I'm here to provide compassionate and non-judgmental support as you navigate challenges. I can work with you to explore what is most important to you, to relate to yourself and the world differently, to explore your identity, and to draw on your strengths. My approach is gentle and collaborative and I see you as the expert of your own life. In our work together, I draw on my own humanity to help you feel heard, respected, and cared about. As a bi, genderqueer, neurodivergent, and feminist therapist, I tend to be a good fit for people who care about social justice and who embrace inclusive and progressive values.

I enjoy working with individuals who are on a journey of self-discovery, which may include unresolved issues from the past, or difficulty finding the path forward. As someone who has had an eventful journey so far, I am happy to share my combined clinical knowledge, and life lessons learned, with those who are searching for answers to their own questions. I help clients understand how they move through the world, how the mind works, how to develop better coping and communication skills, and how to improve resiliency and functioning.
