Natasha Tuletta-Bowman, PhDs, MA, MBA
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. I am dedicated to walking alongside you as you navigate your challenges, celebrate your progress, and ultimately discover your inner strength and resilience.
It is a privilege to be part of my clients' healing journeys, and I am deeply committed to providing a space where you feel truly heard, understood, and supported throughout the entire process.

Monarch Psychology
Psychologist, R Psych, RSW
Free matching calls available to help match you with the best therapist for your unique needs.
We deliver evidence-based therapy that looks beyond surface-level symptoms to identify and treat the underlying drivers of mental and emotional struggle. Many forms of therapy only address symptoms. This may be a good fit for some, but many people need to go beyond symptoms to heal and to lead a full, satisfying life. Our hope for those we serve is to not only experience symptoms reduction but to live a life that is meaningful to them. Our warm, compassionate therapists offer a safe and supportive space for you to feel seen and heard and to explore your challenges without shame.

Vanessa Gear
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience
Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.

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.
