Svetlana Levinta
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MEd
I am a Registered Psychotherapist serving individuals, couples, and families in Ontario. Since starting my practice here in Ontario, I have been given the privilege of helping clients overcome their relationship struggles and move forward with their lives. I work collaboratively to set goals with clients, helping them resolve personal problems, conflict in the family, and more. My services are available in two languages: English and Russian. Apart from locals, I also serve immigrants from Eastern and Central Europe, Russia, and other countries. I can offer a more personalized service since I know the culture, social processes, values, and traditions.

Rikki-Lee Epp
Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist, RP, BA, Dipl. Psych.
Living with chronic illness, ADHD, or autism can feel like moving through a world that wasn’t built with your needs in mind. The pressure to mask, push through, or repeatedly explain yourself can lead to immense grief, anxiety, depression, burnout, loneliness, and a deep sense of feeling unseen and misunderstood.
As a neurodivergent therapist with lived experience of chronic pain, and a parent to neurodivergent children, I understand the emotional and physical toll daily life can take. This is why I offer a therapeutic space where you can show up exactly as you are, without judgment or pressure to perform. Instead of seeing chronic illness and neurodivergence as something to be “fixed,” I believe people often need supportive tools and thoughtful guidance to live in ways that honour their unique needs and nervous systems.
My work is grounded in psychodynamic psychotherapy, guided by empathy and curiosity. Together, we move beyond temporary symptom relief by uncovering how past relationships and experiences shape your current reality (thoughts, behaviour, emotions). This approach fosters insight and self-awareness in an accepting environment, opening the door to lasting, meaningful change.
I invite you to reach out for free 30-minute virtual consultation to see if we are the right fit for your therapeutic journey.

Barbara Freedman
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.Ed., OAMHP(Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals-2704-G)
Need a safe place to express and process your feelings and concerns? As a Mental Health Worker/Counsellor, for 20 years, 9 of which I have been on The Quick Victim Response List for for Ottawa Victim Services, I have successfully dedicated myself to help facilitate the healing of hundreds of Victim Service clients. Specializing in the areas of crisis intervention, abuse, along with complicated grief and trauma informed counselling, I provide a safe space for those who have sustained crime-related circumstances, such as physical and sexual assault, including rape. Clients seeking Victim Services include those who have been impacted by intimate partner violence or child abuse. These clients are comprised of those who endured tragedies such as homicide of a family member, or a being a witness to violent crime. I have provided an emotional holding environment for victims who have experienced sex trafficking or have been subjected to hate crimes, which have escalated over the past years. I was also on the list of counsellors for Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) which is available across Ontario, administered once again through Victim Services. ICE is a program which provides referrals to short-term counselling for children and youth victims of internet sexual exploitation along with their impacted family members.
I delivered my counselling skills to both foster parents, along with employees who faced personal challenges, during my employment with Life Span Services of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, USA Adoption and Foster Care. I worked for this organization under the direction and supervision of Patrick Shea (Executive Director).
As a worldwide cyber counsellor on Presto Experts from 1997 until the time in which this site shut down in 2023, I held one of the top ten highest ranking positions for many years.
In my role at Centerpointe House, an institute dedicated to assisting people in their efforts to achieve a sense of well-being and personal growth, I offered in person counseling as well as support groups and workshops.
My prior volunteer experience with the vulnerable population includes my work at “Belong Ottawa,” formerly known as “The Well,” which at the time was a drop in day shelter for woman and children. This experience afforded me the opportunity to facilitate referrals to other social services, whenever appropriate. In addition to connecting the woman to these resources, I provided them with outreach in the form of immediate response through crisis intervention and advocacy. Among the some of the concerns which these clients were dealing with included homelessness, low-income housing, abuse, trauma, suicide ideology, as well as LGBTQ issues.
I have taken much pride in witnessing former Ottawa Victim Service in addition to other clients going on to achieve such successful outcomes as living more fully and authentically, following their traumas. It would bring me much gratification to be afforded the opportunity to contribute to an even wider client base by bringing my expertise and experience to Therapy Tribe as a Counsellor /Mental Health Professional. As such I encourage you to visit my descriptions of the various treatment approaches I use with each of my specialties offered.
