My approach is grounded in authenticity, trust, and often humour. I believe you have the wisdom to navigate life’s challenges and I strive to help empower you to facilitate change in therapy.

I work with individuals, couples, children and families offering a free consultation to ensure we are a good fit. I carry a systemic lens, exploring the way culture, community and family shape our experiences and aspirations. I am committed to strength-based and anti-oppressive practice in my work. I recognize the importance and responsibility I have as a therapist, to address the systemic inequalities impacting clients in their lives.

Somatic Healing Arts, Psychotherapy and Wellness
Registered Psychotherapist, RP (qualifying), MA-ExAT
LGBTQ+ individuals often face unique emotional and social challenges that affect both the mind and body, including stress, anxiety, or feelings of disconnection. Approaches like art therapy and sensorimotor therapy engage both body and mind, helping individuals safely explore identity, process emotions, build self-acceptance, and cultivate resilience, empowerment, and a stronger sense of authenticity.

Barbara Freedman
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor
I have offered LGBT clients my guidance and support through all stages of their transition process. In addition to being on the Quick Victim Response List for Ottawa Victim Services , my work with “The Well,” (a drop in day shelter for woman and children), along with my role as a Distant Counsellor on Presto Experts - (On-line Chat & Phone Counselling) afforded me the opportunity to work with many LGBTQ issues. The process of counselling this group has involved psychoeducation, along with reframing the discussion to a natural aspect of human diversity-along a continuum. I feel that my role in addition to normalizing clients' feelings, is to counsel them regarding the range of treatment options along with their implications. I have explored these members inner conflicts including those of internalized oppression. . One must understand their own internal process to be able to explain these to others. I have often heard the words echoed "How can I possibly explain this to other people when I cannot even explain it to myself." Self awareness involves discussing ones feeling brought on by guilt, and shame for wanting to be themselves and includes discussing fears of coming out . Resolution of these internal struggles allows them to further grow and develop their self identity. Self -understanding has an enormous impact on self actualization and identity reformation as well as managing intra-external conflicts. Having a stronger sense of self helps the individual better stand up to such conflicts posed by a non accepting family, work, or society.
A further task in helping the LGBT community is to be instrumental in assisting them in finding social support. Connecting with others, especially those in groups with similar emotions and issues is essential to belonging, and to decrease isolation.
I look forward to working with more LGBT clients to watch them grow and develop their unique self identity.
