Couples Counselling Therapists in Ottawa, ON

My clients are looking to lead a balanced life with the perspective and tools to face challenges with resilience and optimism. Anxiety, depression, compulsive thoughts or addictions might be getting in the way of relationship or life goals. My clients are hoping to find practical problem solving in their sessions with me but also build bigger picture thinking and perhaps even get into the big philosophical questions that are a part of making life feel worth living. They value a genuine, human experience with an open-minded, culturally sensitive supporter, that allows them to tap into their own resources for long term well-being.

I am a psychodynamic and certified trauma therapist. I use a non-pathologizing approach to understand emotional distress. Instead of seeing it as an illness, I help people see their inherent strengths and understand the meaning behind their struggles. Many of the struggles people want help with are coping strategies that worked at an earlier time in their lives, but are no longer helpful. I work with people to explore how these behaviours came to be, how they served them, and how to cultivate new ways of being that align with their goals and values. I use a psychodynamic approach as well as IFS, EMDR, and somatic work.

Hi I’m Mira, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) based in Ontario! I am a first-generation Canadian and queer woman of Guyanese and Indo-Caribbean culture. I specialize in providing interdisciplinary, intersectional, and interpersonal psychotherapy services to a diverse clientele. My passion is supporting BIPOC and LGBTQIA2S+ communities, although I provide services to individuals from all walks of life. Through client-focused, relational, and trauma-informed evidence-based approaches, I help clients who are struggling with a broad range of mental health concerns.

Dealing with life's complexities is hard! Improving the relationship you have with yourself, and with others, can create greater safety and health. In the process, you can move closer to the life you want. Therapy assists you in this process by having someone who is compassionate and non-judgmental offer personalized guidance. The aim is to help you better navigate life’s inevitable challenges – uncertainties, transitions, and hurts – with greater care and intentionality. We do this by looking at your strengths, your values, finding more helpful perspectives, and by growing your self-compassion and self-confidence.

I am currently accepting new clients. I believe it takes great courage to explore our experiences, confront our problems, and dare to change ourselves. I aim to provide a warm, non-judgemental space where we can deeply engage with the issues you have brought to therapy. I am based in Ottawa providing individual counselling/psychotherapy services in English to individuals 18 years of age and older in Ontario. I welcome clients of all backgrounds. I am allied to the BIPOC, LGBTQ, non-monogamous, and kink communities.

Currently accepting new clients (virtual & in-person)! I see individuals in therapy for a variety of concerns such as: anxiety, adult ADHD, relationship issues, family dynamics, parenting, self-esteem, & eco-anxiety/climate anxiety. In sessions, I aim to provide a safe, compassionate, non-judgemental space where you can explore your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours at your own pace. I help clients gain clarity about the challenges they are facing, find a healthy sense of balance, and learn strategies to cope more effectively. I like to collaboratively approach problems and help you find creative solutions that fit your values.

** 20YEARS OF EXPERIENCE** **COVERED BY MOST INSURANCES** I am a CLINICAL SUPERVISOR, and I accept new supervisees. Choosing the right therapist is an important decision in order for you to make real progress in counselling. I offers a safe, non-judgmental and supportive counselling environment that focuses on addressing your needs and achieving your objectives. I strongly believe that the best way to succeed in therapy is for us to work together as a team. Once trust is established, we will be able to work together to address your areas of concerns and find solutions that will help you realize your goals and dreams.

I work with clients who are dealing with anxiety, stress, depression and grief, anger, emotional regulation, and career and workplace difficulties. I work with couples from first families and stepfamilies.

Life can present challenges and difficulties that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, and in emotional pain. Making the decision to enter into the therapeutic relationship is a pathway to self-exploration; to gain a deeper level of self-understanding and awareness. As you gain and build additional insight, I will encourage you to take action that will support you in your move towards change.

Ariana Tamas works with individuals, couples and families (age 18 and up) to address a variety of issues in a safe, welcoming and compassionate environment. Clients may have difficulties with relationships, intimacy and communication, or with anxiety and depression. They may identify specific stressors: loneliness, grief, trauma, life transitions, illness, the pandemic. They may experience inner conflicts, even existential concerns, that are more general. Whatever the situation, Ariana strongly believes in the power of resilience, and seeks to reconnect clients to their inner wisdom and resources.

I appreciate that seeking help can be intimidating. Many people feel that they suffer alone. People do not realize how common it is to suffer from mental health-related issues. In North America, one in five adults suffer from distress, such as depression, anxiety, and interpersonal problems. Psychotherapy is extremely effective at treating a wide variety of psychological issues. I provide evidence-based, individualized, and collaborative treatment to ensure the quality of care. My approach to psychotherapy incorporates cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and emotion-focused therapy (EFT).
