Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
Art therapy can provide a grounding and integrative approach to working with dissociative disorders by helping you gently reconnect with yourself in a safe and supportive way. Through creative expression, you can externalize internal experiences, explore fragmented parts of the self, and develop a stronger sense of presence and embodiment. The art-making process allows for nonverbal communication, making it an effective tool for processing emotions and experiences that may feel difficult to articulate. My approach incorporates mindfulness and body-based practices to support reconnection, self-awareness, and a greater sense of stability and integration.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Dissociation is a behaviour that is automatic and can be incredibly frustrating; one can feel betrayed by their own body, frustrated by the behaviour occurring, and confused as to what triggers it or why it happens in the first place. When I work with clients with dissociation issues, it is imperative to understand why the brain would cause us to dissociate, and how we can retrain the brain to eliminate this very problematic behaviour altogether.

Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), MACP, Bsc
I provide trauma-informed support for individuals experiencing dissociative disorders, including depersonalization, derealization, and dissociative identity disorder (DID). Dissociation is often a response to overwhelming or unresolved trauma and can leave you feeling disconnected from your body, identity, or reality. In our work together, I create a safe and grounded therapeutic space where we gently explore your experiences at your pace. Using integrative approaches such as EMDR, parts work, and psychodynamic therapy, I help you build safety, self-awareness, and inner cohesion, supporting your journey toward healing and wholeness.

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.
