Arzu Ferguson
Psychologist, M.Sc., RP, C. Psych.
Choosing the right therapist is an important part of the process. You want to feel understood, supported, and at ease when discussing your experiences. My approach is collaborative and structured—we work together to gain clarity, understand patterns, and develop practical strategies for meaningful and lasting change.
I have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), evidence-based approaches that support emotional regulation, anxiety management, and improved relationships.
If you are looking for a psychologist in Mississauga or virtual therapy across Ontario, I would be happy to connect.

Psychosis
Rebecca Goldstein, TuneinTherapy, ADHD | Trauma | Autism
Registered Social Worker, RSW, MSW, MTA, BMT, FAMI
Experiences involving psychosis can feel frightening, confusing, isolating, or deeply misunderstood — both for the person experiencing them and for the people who care about them.
My background in acute mental health, hospital settings, and broader mental health care allows me to approach psychosis with compassion, realism, and respect. I understand that these experiences are often far more complex than labels alone and may involve trauma, neurodivergence, nervous system overwhelm, mood disorders, or other mental health factors.
My approach focuses on grounding, safety, emotional support, practical coping strategies, and helping you better understand what is happening while working collaboratively with appropriate medical care when needed. Together, we focus on reducing fear and shame, strengthening stability, and supporting you in ways that feel respectful, personalized, and workable.

Psychosis
Ps. I Love You Psychotherapy | M. Caracciolo Professional Corporation
Registered Psychotherapist, HBEd, MA (Hons.), Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), C-DBT
As scary as it sounds, psychosis is not actually a thing. It is a label. Around 3 out of every 100 young people will experience a psychotic episode. Most make a full recovery from the experience. Psychosis can happen to anyone. An episode of psychosis is treatable, and it is possible to recover. It is often due to extreme stress and trauma which at one point or another we all experience. through emotionally focused therapy and mindfulness and often a referral for medication (if necessary) I will help regulate your stress response.

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.
