Olga Lacroix
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, RSW, PCC
Highly sensitive individuals often experience emotions, environments, and relationships more intensely. While this sensitivity can be a strength, it can also lead to overwhelm, emotional fatigue, and difficulty setting boundaries. I help highly sensitive clients understand their nervous system, regulate emotional input, and develop tools to navigate life with greater balance, confidence, and self-compassion.

I hope to validate client's feelings and experiences of being a sensitive person and together we can strategize ways of owning this super power and protecting one's peace through boundaries, self care and nervous system regulation.

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.
