My approach integrates both traditional therapy and somatic techniques, helping you cope with the emotional impact of chronic illness. Together, we can work on strategies that ease both physical discomfort and the mental burdens that often accompany chronic conditions.

Chronic Pain
Dennis Keefe
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.
I am a former athlete who now experiences limited mobility due to chronic illness. This transformation has given me a better understanding of the experiences of others with a wide range of different abilities. It has also provided me with the tools and perspective to better help others who are encountering significant life changes or barriers to wellbeing.

Chronic Pain
Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Living with chronic pain or illness can affect your mood, identity, relationships, sleep, and sense of control. Therapy can offer support for the emotional weight of ongoing health challenges while helping you develop self-compassion, pacing, acceptance, and coping strategies. My goal is not to minimize what you are going through, but to help you live with more steadiness and care.

Chronic Pain
Jaswir Dhillon
Registered Psychotherapist, MA
Living with chronic pain or illness can take a toll not just on your body, but also on your mental and emotional well-being. It can feel isolating, exhausting, and overwhelming. Therapy offers a space to process your experience, explore your identity beyond your diagnosis, and develop tools to manage stress, grief, and uncertainty. I understand how isolating living with chronic pain can be and the devastating impact it can have on your relationship with yourself and your body. You are not alone, it would be my honour to walk alongside you on your journey.

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.
