Miranda Arellano
Registered Psychotherapist, MC, RP, EMDR Certified Therapist, EMDRIA Approved Consultant
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapy can be helpful for addressing problematic thinking patterns that are related to distressing memories or traumatic experiences. It works by helping individuals reprocess and reduce the emotional charge associated with these memories, which can in turn lead to more adaptive and less problematic thinking patterns.
For example, if someone's problematic thinking is linked to a traumatic event, EMDR can assist in desensitizing the emotional impact of that event, making it easier for the individual to develop healthier and more constructive thought processes. While EMDR may not directly target all forms of problematic thinking, it can be a valuable tool when such thinking is rooted in past traumas or distressing memories. It's important to consult with a qualified EMDR therapist to determine if this approach is suitable for your specific situation.

Thinking disorders are a condition that affects one's ability to think, communicate and relate to others. They can manifest in many ways, including difficulty concentrating, distorted thinking patterns, and delusions. These disorders can be debilitating, making it tough to establish and maintain healthy relationships, adjustments to different environments, and complete everyday tasks. Due to their impact on daily living, thinking disorders can negatively affect a person’s mental health and overall well-being. By seeking support from a mental health professional, those affected by thinking disorders can learn how to manage symptoms, develop coping mechanisms and live more fulfilling lives.

Thinking disorders are difficult to assess and can be frustrating for the individual experiencing them, their loved ones, even colleagues and society.

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.
