Schizophrenia
Arzu Ferguson
Psychologist, M.Sc., RP, C. Psych.
I provide psychological support for individuals experiencing schizophrenia or other psychotic symptoms, including changes in thinking, perception, or emotional experience. These experiences can feel confusing, distressing, and isolating, both for individuals and their families.
Therapy focuses on providing a structured, supportive space to better understand these experiences, strengthen coping strategies, and improve day-to-day functioning. I work collaboratively with clients (and, when appropriate, their support systems) to enhance stability, reduce distress, and support overall well-being.

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.
