Life Transitions
Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
Even good change can leave you feeling unmoored. A new career, a move, an ending, a beginning, a season of life you didn't choose: transitions shake the ground your identity stands on, and it's normal to feel lost in the in-between. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here to slow down, make sense of what's shifting, and decide who you want to be on the other side. The goal isn't just to get through it, it's to genuinely understand yourself, let go of what no longer fits, and build a life that actually nourishes you. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, more certain of your direction, and more equipped to step into what's next.

Colin Hayward
Registered Psychotherapist, MEd
It is such a big term - life transitions. Really it could cover almost anything. Some are obvious: relationship changes, divorce, changing careers, retirement. Still others are more subtle and come with warning: changes in health or having to move cities for work or personal reasons. What joins them all is a sense of change - I life used to look like this and now it is different. I help you take stock of what your life looked like, what you want to take with you into the new phase, and what you want to let go of because it really wasn't serving you well.

Carlos "Charlie" Garcia
Registered Psychotherapist, RMHC, CCC, MSc, CCTP
Sometimes life transitions are unexpected, or even when they’re something you chose, they can still feel heavy, uncertain, confusing, pressuring, or come with a sense of loss.
If you’re going through a shift in your life, relationships, identity, or direction, we can make sense of it together. With me, you’ll find a space where you don’t have to have it all figured out, but where you’ll be supported as we navigate this new reality. We focus on where you are, what’s changing, and how to move forward in a way that actually feels right for you.

Justin Mulder
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A., Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Life transitions can be especially challenging for university students. Moving into a new stage of life often means juggling academic pressure, shifting identities, changing relationships, and a lot of uncertainty about the future. It’s common to feel overwhelmed, stuck, or like everyone else has things figured out while you’re just trying to keep up. Together, we can work on building clarity, resilience, and practical ways to navigate this period of change so it feels less like you’re barely staying afloat and more like you’re learning how to steer your own direction.

Samuele Bariani
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
I have a deep interest in supporting people who deal with the challenges of being a foreigner, immigrant or newcomer. Living abroad can be exciting, but being far from home, navigating cultural differences, or going through difficult moments without your support system can feel overwhelming. As an expat myself, I witnessed firsthand the complexity of integrating myself into a new culture, including loneliness, stress, and the constant feeling of uncertainty between a familiar past and an unknown future.

Nicole Moss
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C.S.P.S.S
Life can feel overwhelming when you’re in the middle of a major life transition and feel like you may have no one to talk to who understands. My goal is to support you as I genuinely feel that everyone holds their own map to healing, however, many often need help navigating their path forward. Whether you’re also working on trauma recovery, healing from abuse, or working through the stages of grief, you don’t have to go through it alone. I am grateful to be that source of support for current and new clients. I help people create, enforce, and maintain boundaries that may have once felt impossible to implement, giving them space to feel safer, more empowered, and more connected to themselves and others. I work from an eclectic approach, believing there is no one-size-fits-all path to therapy. Together we can help you break free from limiting patterns and beliefs.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Life transitions can be deeply unsettling — even when they are wanted. Career changes, burnout, grief, relationships, parenthood, diagnosis, loss, identity shifts, trauma, or neurodivergent self-discovery can all challenge how you see yourself and where you are headed.
My approach is compassionate, practical, and grounded in helping you make sense of change without losing yourself in it.
Together, we work to better understand what this transition is bringing up, navigate uncertainty, support your nervous system, and help you move forward in ways that feel more realistic, meaningful, and aligned with who you are becoming.

Ottawa's identity as Canada's capital and a major hub for the federal public service creates a therapy landscape shaped by the particular stresses of government work — including bureaucratic frustration, political exposure, and the weight of careers lived in proximity to national policy decisions. The city's large bilingual population means both French- and English-speaking therapists are essential, with many practitioners offering services in both official languages. The Ottawa Hospital and Montfort Hospital provide institutional mental health resources alongside a private practice community serving the Glebe, Westboro, and Barrhaven areas. Ottawa's significant visible minority communities — including large Lebanese, Chinese, and Somali populations — drive growing demand for culturally affirming and multilingual therapists.
