Tony Miller
Registered Psychotherapist, PhD, RP
*Accepting New Clients* Throughout my journey, I have always been curious about people and how they relate to one another. My approach as a therapist is centered in transparency, authenticity, and directiveness. My goal as a therapist is to create a supportive environment for clients to help gain fresh insights and to achieve growth and change in their lives. I work with individuals, couples, and youth aged 16+ and offer a free consultation to ensure I am the right fit for your journey.

Craig Maxfield
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist (RP)
I work with adults, often men, who know something needs to change but may not be sure how to move forward. You may be dealing with anxiety or self-doubt, a strong inner critic, relationship patterns that keep repeating, or simply feeling stuck despite functioning well in many areas of your life.
My approach is practical, collaborative and focused on helping you understand what is keeping you stuck while finding realistic ways to make change. Together, we can work toward greater clarity, perspective and confidence in how you respond to the challenges in your life.
I know that change is possible, and you don't have to figure everything out on your own. I offer a free consultation so we can talk about what brings you to therapy and whether working together feels like a good fit.

Jenny Kapichen
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Drawing from my personal experience as an artist, business owner, immigrant, and parent, I bring warmth, insight, and deep understanding to my work as a therapist. My approach is compassionate, attentive, and rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection and self-discovery. I embrace an anti-oppressive and intersectional perspective, recognizing the profound impact of systemic and cultural factors on mental health. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and empowered on your path toward growth and healing.

Jose Luis Lopez Vargas
Registered Psychotherapist, RP.
I believe healing begins with feeling truly met. In my work as a psychotherapist, I offer a grounded, respectful, and deeply human space where people can slow down, breathe, and reconnect with themselves. I value presence, authenticity, and real relationships, and I work at a pace that honours each person’s unique experience.
I am drawn to supporting people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or in the midst of change. Many come with anxiety, relationship struggles, emotional pain, or a quiet sense that something in life no longer fits. Together, we gently explore what is happening in the present moment — in thoughts, emotions, and the body — so that clarity, choice, and new possibilities can naturally emerge.

Barbara Freedman
Pre-Licensed Professional, M.Ed., OAMHP(Ontario Association of Mental Health Professionals-2704-G)
Need a safe place to express and process your feelings and concerns? As a Mental Health Worker/Counsellor, for 20 years, 9 of which I have been on The Quick Victim Response List for for Ottawa Victim Services, I have successfully dedicated myself to help facilitate the healing of hundreds of Victim Service clients. Specializing in the areas of crisis intervention, abuse, along with complicated grief and trauma informed counselling, I provide a safe space for those who have sustained crime-related circumstances, such as physical and sexual assault, including rape. Clients seeking Victim Services include those who have been impacted by intimate partner violence or child abuse. These clients are comprised of those who endured tragedies such as homicide of a family member, or a being a witness to violent crime. I have provided an emotional holding environment for victims who have experienced sex trafficking or have been subjected to hate crimes, which have escalated over the past years. I was also on the list of counsellors for Internet Child Exploitation (ICE) which is available across Ontario, administered once again through Victim Services. ICE is a program which provides referrals to short-term counselling for children and youth victims of internet sexual exploitation along with their impacted family members.
I delivered my counselling skills to both foster parents, along with employees who faced personal challenges, during my employment with Life Span Services of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, USA Adoption and Foster Care. I worked for this organization under the direction and supervision of Patrick Shea (Executive Director).
As a worldwide cyber counsellor on Presto Experts from 1997 until the time in which this site shut down in 2023, I held one of the top ten highest ranking positions for many years.
In my role at Centerpointe House, an institute dedicated to assisting people in their efforts to achieve a sense of well-being and personal growth, I offered in person counseling as well as support groups and workshops.
My prior volunteer experience with the vulnerable population includes my work at “Belong Ottawa,” formerly known as “The Well,” which at the time was a drop in day shelter for woman and children. This experience afforded me the opportunity to facilitate referrals to other social services, whenever appropriate. In addition to connecting the woman to these resources, I provided them with outreach in the form of immediate response through crisis intervention and advocacy. Among the some of the concerns which these clients were dealing with included homelessness, low-income housing, abuse, trauma, suicide ideology, as well as LGBTQ issues.
I have taken much pride in witnessing former Ottawa Victim Service in addition to other clients going on to achieve such successful outcomes as living more fully and authentically, following their traumas. It would bring me much gratification to be afforded the opportunity to contribute to an even wider client base by bringing my expertise and experience to Therapy Tribe as a Counsellor /Mental Health Professional. As such I encourage you to visit my descriptions of the various treatment approaches I use with each of my specialties offered.
