Delphine Amer
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc., Registered Psychotherapist
As a parent, it is difficult to witness your child or teen struggling emotionally. Finding help for children and teens experiencing anxiety symptoms, depression and other mental health challenges is vital. I am trained in CBT for children and youth through Royal Ottawa Hospital, Massachusetts Hospital, BECK and others. I have extensive experience working with children and youth in the foster care system as a former child and youth counsellor, and my years of experience working with children and youth contribute to building strong therapeutic rapport using therapy games, teaching vital skills and showing children and youth that life can managed without overwhelming feelings of anxiety or depression. I have specific training in protocol for OCD in children.

Are you afraid that the relationship with your child will only become more distant and difficult over time, but don't know how to stop it? In my work with parents, I use my knowledge of attachment theory to teach parenting strategies which help my clients better understand their children and interact with them in ways which motivate their children to improve their behaviours, helping with parent-child relationship repair.

Beyond Talk Psychotherapy
Licensed Psychoanalyst, RP, CAT, CCC, ATPQ, ACNN
Child or Adolescent issues can affect a persons development. A CBT approach would help focus on the emotions and thoughts that client is going through. A Narrative approach would help focus on their lived experience. The psychosocial development from birth to adulthood is important. As such. the clients narrative for their lived experience could help understand their behaviour and needs.

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.
