Gal Zohar
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Ed., Registered Psychotherapist
Anger is often a signal, a protector stemming from hurt, stress, or unmet needs. Together, we’ll explore what’s beneath the anger, build emotional awareness, and develop tools that help you respond rather than react. In a nonjudgmental space, we’ll work toward understanding your anger, not suppressing it, so you can feel more grounded, connected, and in control.

Malika Chandra
Registered Psychotherapist, MPS, RP (Qualifying)
Anger can be a difficult emotion for many of us to deal with. It is important to understand that it is not wrong to feel anger and in fact, anger can be a very healthy emotion. In therapy, we work together to first understand the source of your anger and why it shows up in possibly triggering ways. We can then work to find healthier ways to express anger and build better relationships. I also would like to empower you to feel better about your anger by not having to feel guilty about it. Call today and book a free consultation.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Anger, frustration, rage, and reactivity overall, can make a person feel frustrated and powerless; when we have emotional outbursts of any kind they can feel so all-encompassing and make us feel like we are not in control of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. In working with clients on their emotions I aim to primarily promote an understanding of why our emotional outbursts occur; once this has been established we begin to work on how to manage, mitigate, or change how these outbursts occur, or why we feel the way that we feel in the first place.

Tanya Beach
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP (Qualifying)
When we experience recurrent anger that feels overwhelming and overpowering, we can find ourselves feeling out of control and ashamed. Through self-exploration, we can start to uncover the underlying emotions that are fueling the anger as anger tends to show up when something deeper within us needs attention and processing, often emotions that stem from past experiences, unmet needs, or ignored boundaries. By working to identify the root causes of our anger, we can begin to understand them in a more meaningful and productive way, since processing buried emotions, or unexpressed needs can be incredibly healing. Over time, this awareness can also help to transform how we relate or react to anger and how to approach situations with more clarity and self-compassion. Book a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if I’m the right fit for you.

Craig Maxfield
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
There's nothing wrong with anger. It can be an understandable response to difficult or unfair situations. Problems arise when the way we express anger damages relationships, creates consequences, or goes against our own best interests. I help clients understand what is driving their anger and develop practical strategies to respond in ways that are more effective and consistent with the person they want to be.

Barbara Freedman
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.Ed., OAMHP(Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals-2704-G)
Anger I love working with anger as I view it as a strong survival response which helps us persevere in the face of life's sometimes unfortunate and unpredictable outcomes. I have created a workshop for those experiencing anger management issues, explaining all aspects of anger, including how to deal with this complex emotion. Anger is a secondary emotion meaning there are other primary feelings which lie beneath it. I often explain this concept to children through the illustration of an iceberg with anger placed on the top. Underneath this iceberg resides such feelings as shame , fear, and pain, which I help clients to access and work through experientially. One tool which I have designed and named “Anger Busting" encourages the client to employ such concepts as such as behavior reduction and response prevention to manage their emotions when they are provoked. In addition, assertiveness techniques along with cognitive behavioral techniques offer clients more of a chance to manage their frustration in such a way that it ensures the likelihood of their being taken seriously, and having their needs met. I have also engaged many children in art and play activities involving their difficult emotions to teach them to deal with these more creatively.

Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), MACP, Bsc
I support individuals in understanding and managing anger in healthy, constructive ways. Anger is a natural emotion, but when it feels overwhelming or begins to impact relationships, work, or self-esteem, it’s essential to explore what lies beneath it. Using evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, I help clients identify triggers, develop emotional regulation skills, and build deeper self-awareness. Together, we work toward responding—rather than reacting—to difficult emotions, creating space for more balance, connection, and personal growth.

Delphine Amer
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., Registered Psychotherapist
Anger can be so limiting and often causes problems in our relationships with others. It is so difficult to feel wound up and ready to explode all the time. Often, underneath the anger lie multiple emotions; sadness, guilt, shame and other limiting drivers. The good news is, there are many strategies and tools available to manage anger. I provide psychoeducation about the window of tolerance and the ABC's of anger; enabling clients to recognize triggers (cognitive, specific events and situations and somatic symptoms). Together, we will explore the roots of your anger and you will learn how to harness your own internal wisdom to manage difficult thoughts and feelings that drive anger. Take the journey with me and get the tools you deserve to live the life you want to live.

Matthew Pitts
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
Wherever your anger comes from, we can work on understanding it better and seek healing together. While anger is a normal, human emotion, it doesn't have to control and direct your life. Let's explore gaining a better understanding of your anger triggers, why you get angry, and ways of reacting on your own terms. For example, being assertive doesn't mean you have to be angry too. I offer a safe space where you can express yourself and be heard, and I bring an empathic but analytical style. If this resonates with you, reach out for a free Zoom consultation.

Anger can sometimes feel like it takes over before you have a chance to choose how you want to respond. In therapy, we can explore what sits underneath anger, including stress, fear, shame, hurt, trauma, or unmet needs. I help clients build awareness of their triggers, strengthen emotional regulation, and respond to difficult situations in ways that feel more grounded and aligned with their values.

Rachelle Trudel - *psychothérapeute bilingue*
Registered Psychotherapist, RP/PA, CCC
Difficulty with expressing anger in a healthy way can have different causes: lack of skill development in emotional regulation, learning early in life that getting angry was the only way to be heard and respected, a power imbalance in a relationship, etc. If you struggle with your anger management, know that you are not alone and that if you are willing to make concrete changes in thought and action, it is possible to be the person you wish to be in relationship, and to be deservedly proud of this accomplishment! I would be happy to support you in attaining this very worthy goal.
------------------------------
La difficulté à exprimer sa colère de manière saine peut avoir de diverses origines : un manque de compétences en matière de régulation émotionnelle, l'apprentissage en enfance que de devenir en colère était le seul moyen de se faire entendre et respecter, un déséquilibre de pouvoir au sein d'une relation, etc. Si vous éprouvez des difficultés à gérer votre colère, sachez que vous n'êtes pas seul(e) et que si vous êtes prêt(e) à effectuer des changements concrets à votre façon de penser et d'agir, il est possible de devenir la personne que vous souhaitez être dans vos relations interpersonnelles et d'en être légitimement fier(ère) ! Je serais ravie de vous accompagner dans l'atteinte de cet objectif louable.

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.
