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.

Counsellor/Therapist, BA (Hons), MA, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Do you tend to replay past events in your mind over and over, and spiral into worries about the future? Do you struggle with boundaries, people-pleasing, or relationships, causing you to "overgive" to others while abandoning your own needs? Many people describe feeling like they’re moving through life on autopilot — weighed down by overthinking, low mood, or the pressure to keep everyone else happy. You might notice people-pleasing tendencies, difficulty maintaining boundaries, or a pattern of overgiving that leaves you drained, ungrounded, and disconnected from yourself. Here, you’ll find a warm, calm space where your feelings are validated and your voice genuinely matters. Together, we’ll engage in meaningful, deep processing work, explore what's fuelling your distress, and gently uncover the deeper experiences and patterns shaping your emotional world. Alongside this, we’ll build practical tools to regulate your nervous system and ease your symptoms in the present, helping you reconnect with a more empowered, resilient, and self-aware version of yourself. I bring the richness of three cultures, four languages, and the lived experience of being both a first- and third-generation immigrant. My background in the medical field also allows me to integrate physiological and psychological insight. These parts of who I am allow me to deeply empathize with the immigrant journey across generations, as well as the ways culture, family expectations, and identity can shape mental health. No matter your background or story, I aim to meet you with genuine understanding, respect, and compassion. I am a proud ally to LGBTQIA2S+ and BIPOC communities and offer inclusive, compassionate care for all backgrounds and lived experiences. If what I’ve shared resonates, we may be a good fit. If you're curious about working together, let's start with a free, no-pressure 30-min video consultation, where we can connect and chat in a calm, relaxed space.

Karen Baker
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, CTP Dipl
We humans are all a little mysterious to ourselves — carrying patterns, reactions, and feelings we don't fully understand, and often facing them alone.
I'm a Registered Psychotherapist, regulated in Ontario (CRPO), now based in BC. I offer secure online psychodynamic therapy to adults across Ontario and British Columbia.
Anxiety, low mood, and chronic stress often aren't random — they're signals. A nervous system that learned, early on, to stay alert, brace for impact, or manage more than it should have. Even when the original circumstances are long gone, the alarm can keep sounding, showing up in our bodies, our reactions, our relationships. Saying yes when we wish we said no, and people-pleasing when we are already depleted.
These patterns are adaptations to the environments we grew up in. Sometimes they no longer serve us as adults, and we need to revise our rules for life.
My work is to help you learn to read that inner weather — to notice when your system is sounding an alarm, and to find your way back to steadier ground. I don't offer a fixed roadmap. I offer companionship: a steady, experienced presence willing to go into uncertain territory with you, without rushing or minimizing what you're carrying. I won't pretend to have the map, but I've made this kind of journey many times, and I won't leave your side when it gets uncertain.
A space where all of you is welcome.

Greater Sudbury is the largest city in Northern Ontario and a regional centre for mining, healthcare, and education in a geographically vast and isolated part of Canada, where the distance from major urban centres and the realities of a resource-based economy shape the mental health landscape in specific ways. The city has a significant Indigenous population and a French-speaking minority, and mental health services that are culturally and linguistically responsive to both communities are an important part of the care landscape. Harsh winters, geographic isolation, and the cyclical economic pressures of a mining-dependent economy contribute to elevated rates of depression, anxiety, and substance use, and Laurentian University's psychology programs have historically contributed to the local supply of trained professionals. Both public and private therapy services are available, though access to specialized care can require telehealth or travel to southern Ontario.
