"The healing process is unique to each person. While many go through similar events, not everyone experiences them in the same way. I view my clients through a holistic lens to develop a collaborative, therapeutic relationship. I help my clients develop healthy ways to manage distress, find ways to move out of being stuck, develop new insight for unresolved issues, and increase overall wellbeing. My primary focus is working with clients who have experienced trauma. Because the nature of trauma is complex, I use an integrative, person-centered approach to meet my clients' needs at their pace and readiness."

"If you feel anxious/stressed, depressed and just can't seem to feel better, or have difficulty trusting others and communicating how you truly feel, I encourage you to reach out. I specialize in working with adult individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship and identity issues, self-criticism, and life transitions. Through a collaborative counselling relationship, we learn to access the resources that already exist inside of us. Over time, the trust in our own ability to move through pain grows, and we feel a sense of ease even in the face of adversity. "

"Do you need support in finding a healthy balance in your life? Are you needing to better understand your situation, to release your emotions, to feel better in your heart and body? Are you seeking a psychotherapy that takes into account your spirituality and your creativity? Are you curious to explore the links between the body and the psyche in order to promote wellness and inner harmony?"

"As human beings we can experience both ups and downs in life, and in either case, the presence, support and genuine empathy of a trained therapist can be a beneficial ally to us as we pursue the journey of life. Since it is my passion to be of service to others by creating a comfortable and relaxing atmosphere that supports happiness, wellbeing and healing, I offer psychotherapy, counselling, Ayurvedic Yoga therapy and specialized employee-wellness and workplace-health services to individuals, groups, couples and families seeking support to overcome structural, interpersonal, mental, emotional, physical and/or spiritual challenges."

"*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* We often believe that we are alone in our suffering, that no one has experienced or could understand what we are going through, or conversely, that the suffering of others is much greater than our own, that ours does not deserve attention. Fear of judgment and vulnerability can keep us from reaching out when we need it most. That is why I believe there is power in creating space to explore obstacles that hinder us from thriving. Whether you are making sense of your past, navigating issues in the present, or planning for your future, it would be my privilege to walk alongside you on your journey of healing."

"I work in individual psychotherapy with adults, who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, isolation, burnout syndrome, low self-esteem, high levels of stress, communication and relationship issues. I am passionate about working in therapy by building a strong therapeutic relationship within a safe and supportive environment, to help individuals gain insight into their functioning, and provide new ways of seeing themselves. I have extensive clinical experience helping individuals with chronic illnesses to better cope with their health issues and the emotional process related to the acceptance of the disease and medical treatments."

"Making the decision to seek therapy and finding the right therapist can be a daunting task. At Rubiks, we aim to provide services that are appropriate for your needs and align with your values. Our approach is client-centered; incorporating your lived experiences and cultural knowledge to address presenting challenges."

"NOW ACCEPTING! As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I provide counselling and psychotherapy for individuals 16 years of age and older.

My therapeutic scope includes anxiety disorder, trauma, life transitions, interpersonal challenges, loss and grief, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, depression, OCD and, personal growth, meaning making and existential exploration.

I have a special interest in Somatic Experiencing therapy and I am well versed in a variety of more traditional therapeutic approaches that I can flexibly adapt to your needs."

"ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS! Feeling overwhelmed by things everyone else seems to do easily? Avoiding doing things you want to do? Caught on a roller coaster of anger, sadness or shame? Are your relationships suffering? Has the "problem" taken over your life? Feeling stuck and confused about what to do or how to find help for yourself or a child who is struggling? I can help you figure out what's keeping the "problem" going and what your next steps might be. If your child or teen is struggling, I can help get things back on track. "

"As a deeply empathic and experienced counsellor, I seek to provide a safe and authentic space for clients to explore areas of distress and concern to them. Collaboration is of utmost importance to me as I seek to tailor the psychotherapeutic process to what will best suit the goals and needs of my clients."

"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. "

"Are you feeling overwhelmed by challenges and unexpected changes in your life, particularly related to grief, loss or relationship difficulties? Are you experiencing stress, anxiety or a deep sadness that has made you feel isolated, confused or hopeless? You are not alone. I am here to listen and help. My expertise is in helping people who are dealing with the challenges of life changes and transitions as well as childhood experience of neglect and trauma."

"Our work together involves deepening the connection with yourself, so you become aware of what you need, and how to give it to yourself. Through being present and mindful to our current experiences, we can start to become more sensitive and aware of our psychological, emotional, and bodily experiences. To engage with compassion, curiosity, and without judgement can bring greater clarity into what is troubling us, and bring us closer to living in greater alignment with our most authentic self. "

"I am a clinical and forensic psychologist, Somatic Experiencing Practitioner, and the Founder & Executive Director of the Ottawa Centre for Resilience (www.ocfr.ca), a mental health centre for childhood trauma & dissociation, attachment, adoption, and high-conflict families for Ottawa and surrounding areas. Our clinicians have additional training in a variety of evidence-based trauma-informed approaches for treating children, youth, adults, and families, including psycho-biologically and somatic based approaches, such as EMDR, Somatic Experiencing, SMART, and Brainspotting. "

"SATURDAY APPOINTMENTS AVAILABLE: Whether you are looking for or considering counselling for yourself or someone else, an important step to healing was taken if you are here. Experiences brought on by difficult circumstances that life throws us are never the clearest to understand or the easiest to tackle. These experiences appear in life as addictions, flashbacks, dissociation, anxiety, unhealthy relationships, depression, or bodily aches and pains with no medical explanations."

"It is my goal to provide my clients with a warm, nonjudgmental and honest environment where they can feel most comfortable exploring their thoughts, emotions and troubles. Much of my experience comes from working in mental health at The Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre. I have a passion for working with adolescents and adults as they develop the courage to explore their vulnerabilities on their journey towards wellness and fulfilment. My experience has allowed me to develop skills in working with depression, anxiety, grief, issues related to sexuality, emotional regulation, social fears and phobias, self-esteem and suicidal ideation."
