Berry Didier Nibogora - Bilingual CBT therapist @ CMAP Health
Counsellor/Therapist, RP(Q), CCPA, LLM
You are looking for help and you need someone who uses effective, person-centered and science-backed strategies to address issues you are having. Someone who gives you the space you need in your imperfections and struggles and walks, collaboratively with you, to unpack the processes that got you where you are today and kept you stuck in the same issues. I am the one. I use your strengths, resources and skills you have (or learn alongside) to get to your best hopes. I embody the conviction that you are unique and you need tailored interventions that speak to your lived reality. Sometimes we are so much stuck in our distorted reality and we need someone to help us gain insight and a different perspective. To guide us in our journey towards discovering behaviours and thinking patterns that may have been useful in the past, but no longer serving us today . I am transparent, use collaboration and believe in your ability to own and work for the change that aligns with your framework and values. It is only when we unpack what has been happening, what has maintained the circle and accept ourselves in our maladaptive realities that we can change.
I operate from a strengths-based, schemas focused and CBT perspectives. I am all into precision and measurement of progress both in our working alliance and in the interventions I use. I give and facilitate hope while supporting you to find inner resources and ways to autonomously use them to get where you want to be. Call or email me today for a free 15minutes consultation.

Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), MACP, Bsc
I hold a space where each person can be fully seen, heard, and met exactly where they are, with empathy, curiosity, and zero judgment. As a trauma-informed psychotherapist, I understand how past experiences can shape the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. I integrate EMDR, CBT, DBT, EFT, Solution-Focused, narrative and psychodynamic approaches to support healing not just at the surface, but at a deep, meaningful level.
Therapy with me is not about fixing you, because you are not broken. It’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths, untangle painful patterns, and move toward the life you want to live. I work collaboratively, honouring your pace and your story, and tailoring our work to what truly resonates for you.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to understand yourself better, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and care. If you're ready to explore what’s been holding you back—and what’s possible—I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to do this alone.

Jordyn Brownstein
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP, BA
My priority is building meaningful connections where trust & authenticity can flourish. I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to the individual, not a one size fits all approach. I am deeply passionate about helping clients reconnect with their inner strengths, cultivate self-compassion, and develop a greater sense of agency in their lives. I aim to meet you where you are, honour your lived experiences, and support you in making sense of challenges in a way that feels empowering and sustainable.

Need a safe place to express and process your feelings and concerns? As a Mental Health Worker/Counsellor, for 9 years on The Quick Victim Response Program (QVRP+)list for Ottawa Victim Services I have successfully dedicated myself to help facilitate the healing of hundreds of Victim Service clients in the areas of crisis intervention, abuse, and trauma. I have taken much pride in witnessing former Ottawa Victim Service 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.

Elias Papadolias
Registered Psychotherapist
I came to psychotherapy after spending many years building a successful business, which gave me a deep appreciation for the pressures, transitions, and questions people face as they try to build meaningful lives. My path back to this work was driven by a genuine interest in helping people understand themselves more deeply and make real changes where they feel stuck. I have a particular appreciation for those who are in the earlier stages of building their lives and figuring out who they want to become. I believe therapy should be both supportive, honest, and a place where you feel understood, but also encouraged to grow in ways that move your life forward.

Leigh Berry
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, RHN
Overwhelmed, anxious and oh so tired? How many hours have you spent doing what you don't want to be doing? Or spinning in anxiety and fear about all the unknowns? Lost in the hustle of everyday life - fighting to get it all done, and caring for everyone else, all while trying to fix your feelings and free yourself from the voice in your head telling you you aren't good enough. It's exhausting! Climb out of the fog of the have-to or should-dos, and everyone else's needs. No more gripping, no more pushing, no more resisting.
It's time to love yourself boldly. To feel grounded and connected to your body and your emotions. Through counseling and nutrition, I help women to shift their relationship with themselves and food. To become allies as you are guided into alignment, so you can live from a place of ease, confidence, balance, and trust in yourself.
As a Mom to two little souls I know how it feels to know there’s another way but feel too busy and wrapped up in life to actually find it. Having someone on your side who understands how hard it is to let go of control when it’s all you’ve ever known, and who knows what it’s like to want to be excellent at everything you do, while managing a job, friendships, family relationships, exercise, birthdays, eating well and keeping your house-plants alive - means everything. If you have landed here you are taking steps to love yourself boldly and find what feels good. Yay!

Maria Yaglovski
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)
Life doesn’t always unfold the way we hope, and at times it can feel hard to ask for support. I understand the vulnerability that comes with reaching out, and I believe therapy can be a meaningful space to restore balance, safety, and self-trust.
I support individuals and couples with concerns including self-esteem, anxiety, mood challenges, intimacy, assertiveness, and relationship difficulties. My work is collaborative and compassionate, with a focus on helping you create real, lasting change and move toward a life that feels more fulfilling and authentic.
I’m committed to providing a safe, confidential space where you feel respected and supported. I offer a free 20-minute consultation to talk about your goals and see if working together feels like the right fit.

Olga Lacroix
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, RSW, PCC
I work with high-achieving individuals—leaders, professionals, and parents—who are capable, thoughtful, and deeply committed to their work and the people they care about. From the outside, many are successful and reliable. On the inside, they may be dealing with overthinking, burnout, impostor syndrome, or a persistent sense of pressure to perform at a high level.

Mike Francis
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A RP #008578
I believe that therapy should feel like a conversation — one grounded in trust, authenticity, and mutual respect. Whether you're here for support with parenting, neurodivergence, anxiety, or just navigating life’s curveballs, you deserve a space where your experiences are understood, and your voice is heard.

Jane Allen
Psychologist, Master Counselling, BSc. Eng, MBA
Many of my clients feel lost or stuck in their lives. They often feel troubled by their relationships, work situations, unmet dreams, and transitions into different stages of life. Our culture does not offer many forums for authentic exploration of life's challenges. My work supports you in exploring the underlying causes of such feelings as anxiety, depression, fear, emptiness, despair, resentment, anger.
I offer a very non-judgmental environment where we can examine different life patterns and core beliefs which may be negatively affecting your quality of life. If you feel isolated in your challenges, I can offer perspectives and insights that will help you understand yourself more and discover that you are not alone.
My goal is to provide hope, insight and new perspectives to my clients. I am an avid reader, researcher and learner and work to find a good match with each client and a suitable counselling approach. Working as a psychologist is a second career for me. I have extensive life experience and work experience in science, business and work teams.

I aim to help you develop a deeper self-compassion, self-understanding and a deeper connection to yourself and your needs.

Dr. Ashwin Mehra
Psychologist, PhD, CPsych
Growth and healing are choices we can make. If you are reading this, you have already taken an important first step. You may be wondering whether therapy can help you take the next ones. Those steps might lead toward relief from distress, clearer direction, healthier relationships, better emotional regulation, insight into long-standing patterns, healing from the past, or movement toward meaningful personal goals. Each person begins therapy with unique hopes and expectations. My role is to support you in moving toward what matters most to you.
I offer an integrative, individualized approach to therapy rather than a one-size-fits-all model. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from St. John’s University in New York City through an integrative program that emphasized both depth and breadth of training. My clinical experience in New York and Toronto has provided me with extensive exposure to diverse populations and a wide range of psychological concerns. I work across the lifespan from children, adolescents, adults, to seniors and provide individual, couples, family, group, and parenting therapy, depending on what best fits a client’s needs. I have also conducted comprehensive psychological assessments evaluating cognitive functioning, personality structure, learning disabilities, and emotional or behavioral concerns. This breadth of experience allows me to approach each case with nuance, balance, and clinical depth. Please call for a free consultation!
