Matthew Pitts
Registered Psychotherapist, Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology
Wherever your stress and/or anxiety and fears stem from, we can work on understanding them better and seek healing together. We can explore tools from a mindfulness approach, like visual/guided imagery, along with an empathetic exploration of unconscious drivers of stress in your life. I offer a safe space where you can express yourself and be heard, and I bring an empathic but analytical style. If this resonates with you, reach out for a free Zoom consultation.

Stress
Nathan Kretzschmar
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Stress can build quietly until it affects your mood, sleep, body, relationships, and sense of self. Therapy can help you understand what is driving your stress, how your nervous system responds, and what changes may support greater balance. I help clients develop practical coping tools while also exploring deeper patterns of pressure, avoidance, overfunctioning, or self-criticism.

Stress
Malika Chandra
Registered Psychotherapist, MPS, RP (Qualifying)
Anxiety prevents you from being present and puts you in a position where you are either ruminating about the past or worrying about the future. In the moment, it can feel impossible to get out of it, and one cannot simply snap out of it. Similarly, stress can permeate multiple aspects of your life. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as mindfulness exercises to help you manage your anxiety. Eventually, we would also work together to understand why the anxiety shows up and how we can address the original source. Reach out today to book a free consultation.

Jane Allen

Everyone experiences times of great stress in their lives. Stress can feel debilitating and hopeless. You may be exhibiting behaviours that you don't like. You may not be thinking clearly. Relationships may be harmed. Sometimes you think your life will always be like this. I can work with you to understand yourself more and understand your environment better. When you are experiencing stress, it is good to gain new perspectives by talking to someone who is compassionate and unbiased.

Stress
Dennis Keefe
Registered Psychotherapist, M.A.
My approach to stress is usually to start with the basics. Is the client getting enough sleep, sunlight, proper nutrition, exercise/movement, social contact? Then we can get into focused coping mechanisms that can help the client reduce and better manage stress. Finding ways to ultimately soothe the nervous system can have profound impact on a person's sense of wellbeing and agency.

Stress
Maria Yaglovski
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC)
Stress can take a toll on your mental health and trigger anxiety. In people who have an anxiety disorder, stress can make it more challenging to manage the symptoms of anxiety. Increases in this hormone are related to anxiety. Stress management is necessary when working through challenging times. I help clients identify triggers and together we work through mindfulness techniques to help you live a more balanced and stress-free living.

Watras Counselling and Psychotherapy Services
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MACP, BSc
Stress is one of the most important topics to explore and understand comprehensively; it is what creates and causes so many of the other problems we have. If you are reading this blurb about stress, I am sure you are also dealing with problematic behaviours such as anxiety, reactivity, fatigue, depression, anger issues, isolation, and/or sleep disruption, just to name a few. Stress can come from our relationships, work, school, family, etc., and it can be better understood and managed to reduce the negative impact it can have on our lives. When I work with my clients on stress, which I do with every client, we focus in on why the stress is so impactful for the individual, and what tools or protocols can be used to remedy the issue.

Art therapy is a powerful tool for managing stress, offering a creative way to express and process overwhelming emotions. Through the act of making art, you can externalize stress, quiet the mind, and tap into a sense of calm and clarity. The creative process helps you reconnect with the present moment, fostering mindfulness and emotional regulation. It also allows you to uncover and transform underlying thought patterns or beliefs contributing to stress, helping you gain new perspectives and cultivate resilience. This process supports your ability to cope with life’s challenges in a balanced and grounded way.

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.
