Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Finding your way back to a sense of balance, clarity, and inner steadiness is not always easy. Life can feel painful, confusing, or overwhelming at times, especially when you are carrying anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, grief, identity questions, or major life transitions.
In therapy, I see our work as collaborative. You are the expert on your own life and story, while I bring clinical training, curiosity, and experience to help us better understand what you are facing. My approach is person-centred, trauma-informed, and grounded in mindfulness. I integrate approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, CBT, MBCT, EMDR, CBT-I, and the Unified Protocol when appropriate.
I do not see mental health as the absence of painful thoughts or emotions. Difficult experiences are part of being human. What often matters is how we relate to those experiences and whether we can still move toward a life that feels meaningful, connected, and aligned with our values.
My hope is to offer a grounded, nonjudgmental space where you can feel understood as a whole person, not simply a collection of symptoms or problems. Together, we can work toward greater self-understanding, emotional steadiness, and meaningful change.

Kristen See
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP
My therapeutic style is neuro-affirming, relational, and eclectic. You can expect friendly banter, a collaborative process, the option to actually get to know your therapist (I'm not here to be a stranger to you), and an approach that shifts with your needs and goals rather than a textbook treatment plan. In short, some sessions may be rooted in skill work, others may require more trauma-informed care. I offer therapy that meets you where you're at.
I also understand that neurodivergent clients are neurodivergent 100% of the time - my goal is to provide a service that accommodates and accepts the ADHD / AuDHD experience.
Fun facts about me: I'm a millennial in my 30's, diagnosed with ADHD later in life, lover of cats, nature, and reality tv.

Masha Andreeva
Registered Psychotherapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP
I am an Art Therapist specializing in trauma-informed, holistic, and creative approaches to therapy. My practice is rooted in reconnection—to yourself, your body, nature, and the present moment. I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore your inner world, process emotions, and move beyond limiting patterns toward deeper self-understanding and fulfillment.
Drawing from over two decades of experience in psychology, meditation, yoga, art therapy, music, and shamanic practices, I integrate psychotherapy, art therapy, mindfulness, and culturally sensitive modalities to help you cultivate balance and self-awareness. My work is deeply informed by my studies in meditation, yoga, music as medicine, and my time learning from mestizo healers in the Amazon.
I believe in the power of creativity—the art-making process can facilitate deep emotional processing and insight. Many of my clients find that working with symbols and creative expression allows them to navigate trauma in a way that feels intuitive, safe, and meaningful.
With a gentle yet deep, structured yet intuitive approach, I support clients—often those processing childhood trauma—as they reconnect with their unique truth. Whether you are navigating life transitions, seeking emotional clarity, or longing to reclaim your authentic self, I am here to guide and support you.
Let’s begin this journey together. Reach out to explore how we can work toward growth and transformation.

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.
