Rhoda Lalog
Registered Psychotherapist, RP
Therapy can be a space to slow down and understand what’s happening beneath the surface. I work with adults navigating anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, life transitions, relationships, identity, and belonging. Many of the people I support are thoughtful, capable people who appear to be managing well but feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or exhausted inside.
You may find yourself carrying a lot, being hard on yourself, struggling to set boundaries, or wondering why familiar patterns keep showing up despite how much you understand about yourself.
My approach is compassionate and curious. Rather than seeing these experiences as something that needs to be fixed, therapy can help us understand what is happening within you and create more space for choice, balance, and a different relationship with yourself.
Culture, family, identity, and lived experience are also welcome in our work together. You do not have to separate these parts of your experience from what brings you to therapy.

Gwen Shandroski, Expressive Arts Therapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Registered Psychotherapist, M.Sc, S-LP(C), R.P.
I help my clients/patients feel comfortable to begin therapy. I have gone through this process as a client and as a therapist many times. Feeling understood and having someone help you take a look at what is going on can be very refreshing and provide some hope. My background in speech-language pathology has prepared me to work with clients who have difficulty expressing themselves. Expressive arts therapy is an alternative way to reach feelings and represent the experience you're having.

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.

True Health Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, Tracey Nguyen, Holistic Advanced Nurse Psychotherapist RN, MN
You are here because relationships and life for you have been an emotional and spiritual battle through your drained soul and body. Long-term narcissistic abuse, BPD, codependency and complex trauma have been a journey of living in survival mode. You are tired of suffering and not living better. You want better than this, and yes, you can have it. Many clients have told me they have been missing something from therapy after countless therapists - deep, soulful relationship healing and actionable steps that get into your heart of soul wounds, not just talk therapy and endlessly validating feelings. While we do this, we do so much more. Being in therapy with me is like experiencing the deep end of you with a professional best friend, shaman and prophetic healer in tune with your soul, body and spirit.
I will help you heal your complex trauma, navigate difficult relationships and guide you toward the reclamation of your soul, voice and power.
Evidence-based, integrative, holistic, complex trauma-informed DBT, mindfulness, Gestalt method and faith-based, I don't leave any part of you out of the equation - mind-body-soul-spirit healing. Where science, natural intelligence and God intersect. All parts of you deserve therapy at this deep level. If you're still reading and feel it, book a consultation with me. I look forward to connecting with you
