Jessie Erb
Registered Psychotherapist, DPsychotherapy
I work from a Relational Psychodynamic and Integrative framework, making sure that we find a therapeutic framework that fits you and your unique needs.
When you see me you won't be seeing an overly clinical or 'removed' therapist, but rather a real person who meets you just as you are. I am warm, empathic, and non-judgmental - providing an environment that is safe so that you can explore all concerns and distress that have brought you to therapy.
I believe that anyone, regardless of class, sexuality, gender, race/ethinicity is valuable and deserves the best care I can give them. I would be honoured to work with you! Check out my website centredself.ca for more info.
I am taking new clients and have a great team of psychotherapists who are also here to help, including our new reduced cost therapy program. Message today for a free 20-min consultation for us to find a fit that suits you!

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.

Mike Francis
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A RP #008578
I believe that therapy should feel like a conversation — one grounded in trust, authenticity, and mutual respect. Whether you're here for support with parenting, neurodivergence, anxiety, or just navigating life’s curveballs, you deserve a space where your experiences are understood, and your voice is heard.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist and Certified Solution Focused Brief & Couples Therapist
As a psychotherapist, my core mission is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can openly explore their emotions, thoughts, and life experiences. I believe in the inherent ability of every person to make meaningful changes in their life, and I see my role as a guide and support in this transformative process. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating major life transitions, I am here to help you work through these obstacles with empathy and understanding.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in deep empathy, active listening, and respect for each individual's unique path. I incorporate a range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and person-centered therapy, which allows me to customize treatment to fit your personal needs. I place great value on establishing a trusting and collaborative relationship, where you feel empowered to address your concerns at a pace that feels right for you.
Having worked with a diverse range of clients, I recognize that each person’s healing journey is different. My aim is to offer a supportive space where you can gain clarity, develop fresh perspectives, and move forward with renewed confidence.

Dr. Ashwin Mehra
Psychologist, PhD, CPsych
Growth and healing are choices we can make. If you are reading this, you have already taken an important first step. You may be wondering whether therapy can help you take the next ones. Those steps might lead toward relief from distress, clearer direction, healthier relationships, better emotional regulation, insight into long-standing patterns, healing from the past, or movement toward meaningful personal goals. Each person begins therapy with unique hopes and expectations. My role is to support you in moving toward what matters most to you.
I offer an integrative, individualized approach to therapy rather than a one-size-fits-all model. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from St. John’s University in New York City through an integrative program that emphasized both depth and breadth of training. My clinical experience in New York and Toronto has provided me with extensive exposure to diverse populations and a wide range of psychological concerns. I work across the lifespan from children, adolescents, adults, to seniors and provide individual, couples, family, group, and parenting therapy, depending on what best fits a client’s needs. I have also conducted comprehensive psychological assessments evaluating cognitive functioning, personality structure, learning disabilities, and emotional or behavioral concerns. This breadth of experience allows me to approach each case with nuance, balance, and clinical depth. Please call for a free consultation!

Semra Lamky, Emotional Peace Psychotherapy
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), MACP, Bsc
I hold a space where each person can be fully seen, heard, and met exactly where they are, with empathy, curiosity, and zero judgment. As a trauma-informed psychotherapist, I understand how past experiences can shape the way we relate to ourselves, others, and the world. I integrate EMDR, CBT, DBT, EFT, Solution-Focused, narrative and psychodynamic approaches to support healing not just at the surface, but at a deep, meaningful level.
Therapy with me is not about fixing you, because you are not broken. It’s about helping you reconnect with your strengths, untangle painful patterns, and move toward the life you want to live. I work collaboratively, honouring your pace and your story, and tailoring our work to what truly resonates for you.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or simply looking to understand yourself better, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and care. If you're ready to explore what’s been holding you back—and what’s possible—I invite you to reach out. You don’t have to do this alone.

Matthew Pitts
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, capable, and driven, yet internally struggling with relationship conflict, emotional overwhelm, anxiety, career stress, or recurring interpersonal patterns that leave them feeling stuck. Therapy can offer a space to better understand these experiences, navigate difficult emotions and relationships, and develop more grounded and meaningful ways forward. My approach is collaborative, reflective, compassionate, and direct when helpful. I aim to create a space where clients can explore difficult emotions honestly while feeling supported, understood, and challenged toward growth. Prior to becoming a Registered Psychotherapist, I worked as a family law lawyer. That experience informs my understanding of conflict, emotional strain, and the complexity people carry beneath outward competence. My life experience also includes marriage, parenthood, and work within finance/asset management, which shape the perspective I bring into therapy. I work with individuals and couples, focusing on areas like anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, career stress, separation/divorce, men’s issues, and persistent interpersonal tension. In couples work, I help partners better understand recurring cycles of conflict so that more emotionally honest, insightful and productive conversations may emerge.

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.

Jane Allen
Psychologist, Master Counselling, BSc. Eng, MBA
Many of my clients feel lost or stuck in their lives. They often feel troubled by their relationships, work situations, unmet dreams, and transitions into different stages of life. Our culture does not offer many forums for authentic exploration of life's challenges. My work supports you in exploring the underlying causes of such feelings as anxiety, depression, fear, emptiness, despair, resentment, anger.
I offer a very non-judgmental environment where we can examine different life patterns and core beliefs which may be negatively affecting your quality of life. If you feel isolated in your challenges, I can offer perspectives and insights that will help you understand yourself more and discover that you are not alone.
My goal is to provide hope, insight and new perspectives to my clients. I am an avid reader, researcher and learner and work to find a good match with each client and a suitable counselling approach. Working as a psychologist is a second career for me. I have extensive life experience and work experience in science, business and work teams.

Steve Rose
Counsellor/Therapist, PhD, MA, BA, CGC (CCPC Global)
Using substances or addictive behaviours to cope with underlying issues, you get short-term relief at a long-term cost. As you lose control, your health and relationships may be affected. You may then begin to realize the substance or behaviour is the problem, masking as the solution.
If you've tried to stop and keep finding yourself back where you started, it can be frustrating. Counselling can help remove mental barriers, allowing you to break free from ineffective coping strategies so you can gain a sense of control, clarity, confidence, and start living the life you want.
I often hear people say they try to reach out, but they don't feel understood. They often feel judged, unheard, or feel the person trying to help them has a hidden agenda. My approach is highly person-centered, meaning I help clients create a plan that works for their unique situation. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to addiction recovery.
It can be hard to reach out for support. Many people wonder, "will it work for me?" and "what if things never change?" In early recovery, there's a lot of uncertainty. Luckily, long-term change is quite common, with the right support. If you don't know where to start, reach out for a free phone consultation and I can help guide you through the process.

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.
