Melissa Huang
Registered Psychotherapist, (Qualifying), MA
So many women spend their lives holding everything for everyone: the careers, the caregiving, the emotional labour no one sees, all while quietly asking whose needs come last. Whether you're navigating identity shifts, hormonal transitions, relationship dynamics, body image, or the exhaustion of being the strong one, your experience deserves real space. Here you'll find a warm, nonjudgmental place to put it all down, hear yourself think, and reconnect with who you are beneath the roles. The goal isn't just to keep coping, it's to genuinely understand yourself, set down what's depleting you, and build a life that actually nourishes you. Together we'll work toward feeling more grounded, more whole, and more at home in your own life.

Alessia Zita | Zita Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapy (Qualifying)
Do you often feel pressured, unheard, or overburdened in your personal, professional, or social roles? Many women grow up learning to put others first, downplay their needs, or navigate expectations that feel conflicting. Over time, this can lead to exhaustion, self-doubt, or disconnection from your authentic self.
These feelings are not a flaw—they are signals that your needs deserve attention. What matters is how you respond when they arise. Together, we can explore your experiences, strengthen your boundaries, and support you in feeling more confident, empowered, and lighter in yourself. You care deeply for a reason. Let’s explore why, and what comes next.

Kayla Rivera
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Many women carry invisible pressure to be capable, accommodating, and “fine” no matter what. Therapy can help you unpack people pleasing, perfectionism, burnout, relationship patterns, and the emotional load you’ve been holding alone. Together, we’ll strengthen boundaries, self worth, and a more grounded connection to your needs.

Steph Paolucci
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, Registered Yoga Teacher
Women often seek therapy when they feel stretched thin from the emotional labour of balancing roles, expectations, and responsibilities. This can show up as burnout, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, or feeling disconnected from their own needs. Over time, constantly putting others first can lead to resentment, overwhelm, and a loss of self, making it hard to feel grounded, fulfilled, or like there’s space for them too.

Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
At Spacious Mind Counselling I work with my colleague Jane Kraft a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist who specialises in supporting women's mental health. I often get supervision from Jane or refer clients to her if I am not able to support the person seeking help. I work from a feminist informed perspective and believe that women are negatively impacted by unfair systems in society. I validate and explore skills that might be helpful to support women who have been impacted by issues such as post partum depression, anxiety, relationship issues and addiction.

As a woman, I understand many of the unique challenges that women face with regard to health, relationships, and life transitions over time. I also understand the myriad of roles, demands, and expectations that are placed upon women and the pressure that comes with trying to navigate it all. Therapy can be a space where you can focus on what you need most and where you can feel validated and understood. Within our work together, I will help you to process whatever may arise and I will help you to identify ways that you can care for yourself and advocate for your needs.

Amber Skoczek
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Women experience unique issues that are not always understood, or are often minimized and dismissed. Navigating life, relationships, family, work, emotions and more can feel very overwhelming and sometimes need to be better understood with the support of a therapist in order to feel more confident and reframe how to move forward in the world as a woman.

Michelle C. Koehler, RSW & Psychotherapist
Registered Social Worker, MA, RSW & Psychotherapist
I am passionate about supporting women headers. I teach Mindful Leadership. In the midst of a “Great Breakup,” as more women leaders demand more from their work and when those demands aren’t met, women are leaving. A significant reason for many of those workplace breakups is burnout.

Emina Hendricks, CareWay.ca

What do I need? What do I want? If these questions seem "selfish" and are difficult to answer then you may be a woman who has been socialized to put everyone else's needs first.
At CareWay, we can work toward answering "What do I need?" with an open heart, free of guilt or self-criticism. This is self-care.
Using counselling and psychotherapy strategies, CareWay accompanies women as they go through all of life's transitions, helping to carve a path of self-compassion through life's journey.

Sharron Carson
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Women experience the world in a unique way and the challenges and barriers we face can be significant. When working with women I first try to get a sense of their experience as a woman in the world, relationships, family, or work environments. It has been my experience that many women tend to care for others first and often neglect their own needs. We will work on promoting a strong sense of self, positive self-worth and recognize our value in the world. Whether it be self-esteem, relationship concerns, self-doubt, or negative self-talk we will work towards a better understanding of self and making changes that promote confidence, strength, and hope. Please book a free consultation if you would like to talk more about your personal needs.

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.
