I work with individuals through a trauma informed approach to understand what has happened to them in abusive relationships and support client's deep healing while holding a safe space for this to occur. Through understanding and going inside to develop this awareness, client's begin to see themselves with compassion and learn to care for themselves in a new way.

Sexual Abuse
Ryan Bittinger
Pre-Licensed Professional, Registered Psychotherapist (Q), DPsychotherapy, LPCC, CAS
Experiencing sexual violence, especially at the hands of someone that you should have been able to trust, leaves deep scars. These can feel too painful or shameful to talk about, leaving you to feel alone with them. Many years of practice in this area of equipped me to work with you at a pace that feels manageable and allows you to examine the many ways you've been impacted. This work can be slow, but the changes clients experience often leave them feeling stronger and more capable than ever.

Sexual Abuse
Masha Andreeva
Art Therapist, HonBA, DTATI, RP(qualifying)
I have substantial experience facilitating both group and one-on-one art therapy for survivors of sexual abuse. I understand how abuse can distort your sense of self, leaving you feeling disconnected or powerless. Through art therapy, you can safely express and process emotions that may be difficult to verbalize, while reconnecting with your inner strength. The creative process provides a path to reclaim your voice, rebuild self-worth, and restore a sense of control. I am passionate about supporting you in reclaiming your life and your sense of self, helping you move toward empowerment and transformation.

Sexual Abuse
Lauren Kalvari
Registered Social Worker, PhD, MSW, RSW
Sexual abuse and sexual trauma can profoundly affect emotional well-being, relationships, self-worth, trust, identity, physical safety, and connection to one’s own body. In some relationships, sexual coercion or abuse may occur alongside emotional abuse, coercive control, intimate partner violence, or spiritually mediated forms of manipulation and shame. Survivors are often left carrying confusion, self-blame, fear, dissociation, or difficulty trusting themselves and others.
I provide trauma-informed virtual psychotherapy for adults recovering from sexual abuse, sexual trauma, coercive sexual experiences, and psychologically harmful relationships. Therapy focuses on restoring emotional safety, rebuilding self-trust, understanding trauma responses, and supporting healing at a pace that feels grounded and manageable. I am also attentive to the cultural, relational, and spiritual contexts in which sexual trauma occurs, including experiences shaped by religious teachings, family systems, silence, or loss of community.

My goal is to empower survivors to move toward recovery, resilience, and a renewed sense of hope.

Sexual Abuse
Masood Suliman
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Treatment for survivors of sexual abuse is grounded in established trauma-informed clinical protocols. I utilize evidence-based modalities, including EMDR, to facilitate the safe, structured reprocessing of traumatic memory networks. The clinical objective is to address post-traumatic symptoms and support psychological stabilization within a highly regulated therapeutic environment.

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.
