Life Transitions
Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Major life changes can stir up anxiety, grief, uncertainty, identity questions, and self-doubt. Whether you are navigating a relationship shift, career change, aging, relocation, loss, or a new stage of life, therapy can help you process what is changing and reconnect with what matters. Together, we can make space for both the difficulty and the possibility within transition.

Life Transitions
Sage Ariel Seguin
Registered Psychotherapist, QRP, MACP
Major life transitions — career changes, relationship shifts, a recent ADHD or neurodivergence diagnosis, identity changes, the move into a new chapter — can leave clients exhausted and questioning who they are beneath the coping. We slow the pace to understand what's been shaken loose and what wants to emerge, rather than rushing back to who you used to be. Drawing on IFS, EFT, and mindfulness, we build self-trust through the change instead of around it.

Life Transitions
Lauren Kalvari
Registered Social Worker, PhD, MSW, RSW
Major life transitions can affect identity, relationships, emotional stability, spirituality, and one’s sense of direction or belonging in the world. Experiences such as divorce, career changes, illness, caregiving, loss, changes in faith or community, parenting shifts, relocation, or emerging awareness following difficult relationships can leave people feeling emotionally overwhelmed, uncertain, or disconnected from themselves.
I provide trauma-informed virtual psychotherapy for adults navigating life transitions, chronic stress, grief, anxiety, relational change, and periods of emotional or existential uncertainty. Therapy offers space to process complex emotions, understand patterns that may no longer serve you, strengthen self-trust, and move toward greater clarity, stability, and meaning. My approach is culturally aware and attentive to the broader relational, spiritual, and social contexts that shape how people experience change, loss, identity, and healing.

Life Transitions
Rebekah Wright
Registered Psychotherapist, MDiv, RP
Life transitions can bring uncertainty, stress, and shifts in identity. Whether planned or unexpected, these changes often require adjustment on multiple levels. Therapy provides a space to process these experiences while developing clarity and direction.
5 Years Experience
Online in Ottawa, ON Ontario
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.
