Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
I help clients navigate stress by exploring the deeper emotional and relational patterns that may be contributing to overwhelm. Through a psychodynamic lens, we look at how internalized pressures, early caregiving dynamics, and unconscious beliefs about worth or responsibility shape the way stress is experienced. Together, we work toward greater insight, regulation, and a more compassionate way of relating to yourself under pressure.

Ahmadreza Zamani
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Stress is a natural response to challenges and changes in life. It is characterized by physical, emotional, and mental reactions to stressors, such as work demands, financial pressures, or relationship problems. While a certain amount of stress can be beneficial for motivation and focus, prolonged and intense stress can have negative effects on mental and physical health. Symptoms of stress can include anxiety, irritability, fatigue, sleep problems, and physical symptoms such as headaches or muscle tension.
Managing stress is important for maintaining overall well-being and can be done through various methods such as exercise, mindfulness, and stress-reduction techniques. Psychotherapy can also be helpful in managing stress by teaching individuals coping skills, addressing any underlying mental health issues, and helping them understand and manage their stressors. If you or a loved one is struggling with stress, a licensed mental health professional can provide support and guidance towards reducing stress and improving overall well-being.

Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
Stress has a way of becoming the water you swim in: always on, always bracing, never quite able to rest even when you finally stop. Over time it wears down your sleep, your patience, your health, and your relationships. You'll find a warm, nonjudgmental space here to actually slow down, understand what's driving the pressure, and untangle what you're carrying that was never yours to hold. The goal isn't just to cope better, it's to genuinely understand yourself, replace the patterns that keep you running on empty with habits that restore you, and reconnect with what brings you peace. Together we'll work toward feeling calmer, more balanced, and more equipped to meet your life without losing yourself in it.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel tense, overwhelmed, or unable to slow down? Many of us grow up learning to push through pressure, ignore signals from our bodies, or treat busyness as a badge of honor. Over time, chronic stress can impact your energy, focus, and well-being.
These feelings are not a flaw—they are signals that your mind and body need care. What matters is how you respond when stress arises. Together, we can explore what’s driving your tension, develop strategies to regulate your nervous system, and help you feel more grounded, balanced, and lighter over time. You experience stress for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Stress Management: Reclaiming Calm and Clarity
Stress isn’t just about external pressure—it’s often a reflection of internal patterns, unmet needs, and subconscious responses that deserve attention. I offer a grounded, integrative approach to stress management that supports both emotional regulation and deeper self-awareness.
Drawing from mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral techniques, and psychosomatic insight, I help individuals explore how stress lives in the body, mind, and nervous system—and how to respond with clarity rather than reactivity.
Together, We’ll Work To:
• Identify stress triggers and the patterns they activate
• Develop practical tools for calming the nervous system
• Create sustainable rhythms for work-life balance
• Build emotional resilience and inner steadiness
• Explore the deeper beliefs and unmet needs beneath chronic stress
Whether navigating workplace demands, life transitions, or persistent anxiety, this process is about transforming your relationship with stress—not just managing it. It’s about learning to meet pressure with presence, and to move through life with more spaciousness, intention, and ease.

Steph Paolucci
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, Registered Yoga Teacher
Stress is an avoidable part of life but can have detrimental repercussions. We want to identify your stressors and help you manage them in a healthy way. I would help you confront your emotions and identify coping mechanisms that can help you. Stress is something that is held in both the mind and body. It would be crucial to become aware of how stress is held in your body and to be able to release it. By doing so, you will be able to increase your range of tolerance for stressors and develop a system that helps you manage stress in a productive manner.

Maria Yaglovski
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)
Stress can take a toll on your mental health and trigger anxiety. In people who have an anxiety disorder, stress can make it more challenging to manage the symptoms of anxiety. Increases in this hormone are related to anxiety. Stress management is necessary when working through challenging times. I help clients identify triggers and together we work through mindfulness techniques to help you live a more balanced and stress-free living.

Theresa Stock
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., Registered Psychotherapist, Somatic Practitioner
There are three kinds of stress; tolerable stress, untolerable stress and toxic stress. Tolerable stress is the good stress that motivates us and is there when we take small risks and learn. Untolerable stress is feeling overwhelmed and exhausted, and not being able to think clearly or function well. It can lead to sleep problems, relationship issues, anger, anxiety, lack of focus, physical complaints -headaches, jaw pain etc. Toxis stress is stress that is experienced over a long period of time and has impact on brain development and functioning. I can help identify your patterned response to stress and how to promote healing.

Karen Skinulis
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
I approach stress and it's related problems from an Adlerian perspective. This means that I help my clients recognize that the tools needed for coping with stress are a combination of understanding themselves better (from a psychological viewpoint) and accessing their strengths. Stress is a normal part of life but when it becomes overwhelming it's a sign that we have an unsolved problem in our lives. I work to inject hope that solutions are within their grasp and that they have the ability to change a situation, or if that's not possible, to change the way they view it.

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.
