Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you notice your thoughts feeling jumbled, confusing, or hard to control? Many people experience thinking patterns that feel fragmented, racing, or detached from reality, which can be frightening or isolating.
These experiences are not a flaw—they are meaningful signals about how your mind is processing stress, trauma, or thought patterns. What matters is how we respond when these thoughts arise. Together, we can explore your experiences, develop strategies to stay grounded and oriented, and help you feel more in control, connected, and lighter over time. You think this way for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Natalia Vyzhol
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Cognitive Health: Supporting Clarity and Mental Integration
Cognitive challenges—whether related to thought disorders, memory, or processing—can deeply affect how we engage with life. I specialize in helping individuals navigate these complexities with insight, structure, and compassionate support.
My approach blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with a personalized understanding of each person’s cognitive landscape. This work is not just about diagnosis—it’s about creating pathways toward clearer thinking, emotional steadiness, and functional resilience.
Focus Areas Include:
• Comprehensive cognitive assessments and evaluations
• Support for thought disorders and related conditions
• Cognitive rehabilitation and integration strategies
• Individual and group therapy formats
• Family education and collaborative care
How I Work
Each care plan is tailored to the person’s unique needs, strengths, and goals. Sessions offer a safe space to explore cognitive patterns, emotional responses, and behavioral strategies—always with respect for the whole person.
Ongoing Commitment
I stay current with the latest research in cognitive health and integrate both traditional and innovative methods to support meaningful progress. This is a space where thinking becomes clearer, patterns become understandable, and change becomes possible.

Miranda Arellano
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy can be helpful for addressing problematic thinking patterns that are related to distressing memories or traumatic experiences. It works by helping individuals reprocess and reduce the emotional charge associated with these memories, which can in turn lead to more adaptive and less problematic thinking patterns.
For example, if someone's problematic thinking is linked to a traumatic event, EMDR can assist in desensitizing the emotional impact of that event, making it easier for the individual to develop healthier and more constructive thought processes. While EMDR may not directly target all forms of problematic thinking, it can be a valuable tool when such thinking is rooted in past traumas or distressing memories. It's important to consult with a qualified EMDR therapist to determine if this approach is suitable for your specific situation.

Robert M. Lee
Registered Psychotherapist
Thinking disorders can make it feel like your mind is working against you—racing thoughts, intrusive ideas, obsessive patterns, or difficulty distinguishing reality from perception. My approach integrates mindfulness, depth psychology, and somatic awareness to help you develop a grounded relationship with your thoughts. Rather than fighting or suppressing them, we explore their deeper origins, uncovering patterns that may be rooted in trauma, anxiety, or existential struggles. Therapy provides a space to cultivate clarity, resilience, and a more balanced, centered way of engaging with your mind.

Thinking disorders can affect how individuals process information, make decisions, and manage emotions, often leading to confusion, disorganization, and difficulty concentrating. Whether dealing with cognitive distortions, memory problems, or difficulty with decision-making, solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) offers strategies to improve cognitive functioning, enhance problem-solving skills, and develop healthy thought patterns. Therapy helps individuals recognize and challenge negative or disorganized thinking, providing tools to improve mental clarity, build focus, and restore confidence in their cognitive abilities. With guidance and support, therapy can assist in overcoming thinking disorders and help individuals regain control over their mental processes, leading to better emotional and daily functioning.

Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Thinking disorders and unusual thought patterns can feel confusing, frightening, isolating, or deeply misunderstood. Challenges with thought organization, perception, reality testing, intrusive beliefs, or cognitive overwhelm can affect daily functioning, relationships, safety, and self-trust.
My background in acute mental health, hospital settings, and broader mental health care allows me to approach these experiences with compassion, practicality, and respect. I understand that these challenges are often complex and may intersect with trauma, neurodivergence, mood disorders, nervous system dysregulation, or other mental health concerns.
My approach focuses on reducing fear and shame, strengthening grounding, supporting insight when possible, building practical coping strategies, and helping you better understand what may be happening while working collaboratively with appropriate medical or psychiatric care when needed. Together, we focus on safety, stability, and support that feels realistic and personalized.

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.
