Therapists in Ottawa, ON

Are you exhausted with all of what you're struggling to manage? Has your worry gotten to a point that it seems to be taking over your life? Perhaps your anger has been deemed out of control. Whether it's stress, anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, or grief, I am here to help you work through the experiences and meanings of these emotions. Most importantly, in a productive and positive way. If it's relationship trouble, family conflict, or even workplace drama, we can work together to find solutions where possible; and, coping techniques throughout.

I am a compassionate and creative social worker who aims to serve my clients through a judgement-free approach to counselling. I work with clients to understand their concerns and then support them in developing a plan that promotes their healing and growth. I recognize the need for counselling sessions to be customized to fit the unique needs, interests, and backgrounds of each client and I strive to create a space that will facilitate change for each client in ways that are suitable for them.

Sometimes life can feel overwhelming. There can be challenges from difficult relationships and break-ups to stress at work to adjusting to a change in you life (a new baby or the death of a loved one). You may feel stuck, not knowing which way to turn, or what to do next. It's important that you know that you don't have to go through this alone. You can manage these changes and find insight to your questions through therapy. At Vivian Therapy, our team of therapists will find ways to understand what's going on and develop skills to manage these challenges.

Hi there! I am a registered Social Worker offering psychotherapy through the Centre for Integrated Care Counselling Services to support individuals with whatever you may be going through. Whether it's loss, traumatic experiences, mental health, or the stress of day-to-day life, we can help. My approach combines a non-judgemental, compassionate attitude with therapy tools to help you heal and find solutions that work best for your situation and personality.

My aim is to provide each and every client with the support and guidance they are looking for by creating individualized treatment plans.
