Therapists in Ottawa, ON

Are you finding it a challenge to find the right therapist match for you? I am the Clinical Director at the Ottawa Centre for Cognitive Therapy, with over 30 years of experience as a Clinical Psychologist. I will match you with one of the 14 therapists in our group who best fits your personality and therapeutic needs. If you do find the therapist who I choose for you is not the best fit, I will reassign you based on your feedback.

If you're experiencing anxious thoughts, negative thought spirals, rumination, grief, low mood, uncertainties in friendships or dating, you can take a deep breath as I may be the right fit for you. Whether you are looking to address an ongoing circumstance, explore something from your past, foster self-awareness or simply gain further insight into your days, we will work together to bring you the calm you deserve. I recognize that it can be challenging to be vulnerable, and so we will delve into your story with care, compassion and curiosity.

As a therapist, I believe in one's inherent capacity for growth and self-actualization. I use an integrative, holistic, and personalized approach, offering a compassionate and insightful space for exploration and healing. My practice is tailored to individuals seeking a deeper understanding of themselves, meaningful personal transformation, and relief from emotional distress. I work with clients facing a wide range of issues, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, self-esteem issues, identity exploration, and life transitions. I welcome clients from diverse backgrounds and identities.

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? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you are not alone. We are all human beings, and we all have it rough sometimes (and man, can it get rough!). 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.

I became a therapist because, just like you, I am human and have had my fair share of battles. It took a long time for me to get to where I am today. I recognize that in moments of hopelessness, it is hard to find determination, that depression can be scary, that anxiety can be overwhelming, and that traumatic experiences can leave one feeling emotionally exhausted and drained out. I acknowledge the stigma associated with mental health and in going to therapy. For this reason, I know how crucial it is to provide therapy that is client-centered, empathetic, and unique to each person’s needs.

I applaud you for starting the journey towards self-discovery and growth! As a compassionate and dedicated Therapist, my goal is to assist you in navigating life's challenges with resilience and empowerment. Whether you're facing difficult life transitions, struggling with anxiety, depression, or simply seeking greater clarity and fulfillment, I am here to support you in navigating your journey.

Hi, I’m Michaela! I hold a Behavioural Psychology undergraduate degree and a Masters of Social Work. I spent five years working in acute inpatient psychiatric care for children and youth ages 5-17 and currently work as a mental health social worker in the emergency department at my local hospital. My experience with youth has allowed me to understand both the situational and developmental implications of being an adolescent in today’s world.

These brains of ours don't come with instruction manuals - figuring out how to navigate life is tough enough, but can sometimes seem impossible when we experience mental health difficulties. I specialize in working with people with BPD (attachment trauma), anxiety disorders, OCD, couples and people with complex difficulties who may have been given multiple diagnoses. Therapy can be a strange process, I try to make it simple and straightforward. We get to know each other, and figure out if we’re a good fit. We get a clear picture of what the problems are, and what’s going wrong (and what’s going right) in your life.

We all experience challenging times in our lives and taking that first step in deciding to come to therapy can be difficult. I am passionate about supporting people by taking the time to understand my clients’ unique experiences, from their own perspectives and individual histories. With this knowledge in mind, I help clients gain insight and understanding into their difficult life experiences, identify challenges and goals, and create strategies for positive growth, as well as space for healing.
