Therapists in Ottawa, ON

In my therapeutic practice, I prioritize authentic and honest communication, fostering a safe environment where difficult things feel safe to talk about. With compassion as my compass, I balance acceptance-based strategies with methods for change, aiming to support clients as they work at their own pace toward building a life they find worth living, and realize about their capacity to shape their own narratives to transform challenges into opportunities for personal evolution.

Do you find it hard to discover and honour your strengths in the midst of obstacles? I possess particular knowledge and experience in infant, child, and adolescent mental health and development. I am passionate about enhancing mental wellness by providing children, youth, parents, and families with support and strategies to maintain optimal family functioning and parent-child relationships. I have gained extensive experience treating anxiety and related disorders, emotion regulation challenges, depression, OCD, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, relationship difficulties, self-harming behaviour and traumatic stress.

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.

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here. Whatever brings you to my page it is likely that you are looking for change. I support people experiencing a wide range of challenges with particular interest in working with individuals facing issues of trauma & PTSD, anxiety, low mood, emotion dysregulation, relationship issues, and low self-esteem. My approach depends on your goals and comfort, I draw from CBT, DBT, and a variety of attachment-based approaches. I often incorporate art, mindfulness, somatic practices, and humour into sessions as well.

Cameron recognizes the uniqueness of each person’s story and will work to create a non-judgmental and open environment for clients to explore issues such as anger management, self harm, addictions, sexual and gender identity, self-esteem, relationship issues, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and stress. He primarily draws from Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy and mindfulness perspectives to engage clients towards small positive changes.

Do you struggle with anxiety, low self-esteem and difficulties in your relationships that affect your day-to-day life and your ability to function and work? Do you feel overwhelmed and exhausted by the constant struggle to get through the day, or always putting the needs of others above your own needs, and the thought that there is no light at teh end of the tunnel? Do you wonder if your relationships, sense of self, and overall life could improve? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious and overwhelmed about managing their anxiety, navigating difficult relationships and overcoming challenges associated with low self-esteem.

I often wonder why there is so much pain and suffering. I realized that what we need is not homeostasis or a tensionless state. Instead, we need the right amount of tension for change, growth, and development to take place. I had the privilege to journey with people facing different aspects of the human condition (suffering, grief, loss, meaninglessness, etc.) I am often amazed by human determination, courage, and strength in the process toward growth and development as they face life challenges. Life is full of challenges and adversity; it would be a privilege to journey with you toward a meaningful and purpose-driven life.

I am a passionate helper who believes in honesty and transparency above all else. I have a particular interest in attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, and loss and grief.

You’ve been through a lot. Maybe you've never told anyone your story; maybe you've only shared it with a select few. And you have heard that talking helps. But you wonder — how many times do I have to re-hash the discomfort before it releases me? How long before I can rest? You might be feeling numb, angry, sad, stuck, hopeless, scared… You may not have a clear direction, or any idea of your goals. You might not know where or how to start. Yes - We all carry our past into the future. But the weight doesn’t have to be unbearable, and you don’t have to hold it alone.

Do you feel like you don’t really know your child or teen anymore? Is your child or teen acting differently than they used to? Do you feel like something is going on inside of them but they won’t open up to you? Are they acting out in ways that are disruptive at school, home or in life in general? If your attempts to get through to them leave you feeling more and more frustrated and lost, sometimes bringing in a caring professional can help. Getting your child or teen the help they need is the most loving thing to do. Whatever the reason you are considering counseling for your child, teen or family, I believe I can help.
