Natasha Tuletta-Bowman, PhDs, MA, MBA

As a psychotherapist, my core mission is to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where clients can openly explore their emotions, thoughts, and life experiences. I believe in the inherent ability of every person to make meaningful changes in their life, and I see my role as a guide and support in this transformative process. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating major life transitions, I am here to help you work through these obstacles with empathy and understanding.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in deep empathy, active listening, and respect for each individual's unique path. I incorporate a range of therapeutic modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and person-centered therapy, which allows me to customize treatment to fit your personal needs. I place great value on establishing a trusting and collaborative relationship, where you feel empowered to address your concerns at a pace that feels right for you.
Having worked with a diverse range of clients, I recognize that each person’s healing journey is different. My aim is to offer a supportive space where you can gain clarity, develop fresh perspectives, and move forward with renewed confidence. I am dedicated to walking alongside you as you navigate your challenges, celebrate your progress, and ultimately discover your inner strength and resilience.
It is a privilege to be part of my clients' healing journeys, and I am deeply committed to providing a space where you feel truly heard, understood, and supported throughout the entire process.

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.
