Dr. Ashwin Mehra
Psychologist, PhD, CPsych
Growth and healing are choices we can make. If you are reading this, you have already taken an important first step. You may be wondering whether therapy can help you take the next ones. Those steps might lead toward relief from distress, clearer direction, healthier relationships, better emotional regulation, insight into long-standing patterns, healing from the past, or movement toward meaningful personal goals. Each person begins therapy with unique hopes and expectations. My role is to support you in moving toward what matters most to you.
I offer an integrative, individualized approach to therapy rather than a one-size-fits-all model. I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology from St. John’s University in New York City through an integrative program that emphasized both depth and breadth of training. My clinical experience in New York and Toronto has provided me with extensive exposure to diverse populations and a wide range of psychological concerns. I work across the lifespan from children, adolescents, adults, to seniors and provide individual, couples, family, group, and parenting therapy, depending on what best fits a client’s needs. I have also conducted comprehensive psychological assessments evaluating cognitive functioning, personality structure, learning disabilities, and emotional or behavioral concerns. This breadth of experience allows me to approach each case with nuance, balance, and clinical depth. Please call for a free consultation!

Anne Geraldine Barnes
Registered Social Worker, Travailleuse Sociale/RSW Qc Mindful Self-Compassion, PNL, polyvagal informed/outils somatiques
(ENGLISH BELOW) Je suis convaincue que le meilleur levier pour le bien-être d’un ado est une mère qui se sent en sécurité et outillée. Trop souvent, on s’épuise à essayer de contrôler l’incontrôlable. Je le sais, je l’ai vécu. Ma mission est de normaliser vos réactions : ce n’est pas un manque de volonté, c’est votre système nerveux qui réagit au stress. Formée à l’approche polyvagale, je vous offre un espace pour calmer cette réponse de "survie" et retrouver votre clarté. En stabilisant votre propre boussole, vous ne faites pas que traverser l'adolescence : vous transformez durablement la dynamique familiale.
ENGLISH: I believe the most powerful tool for a teen’s well-being is a mother who feels grounded and safe. Too often, we exhaust ourselves trying to control the uncontrollable—I understand, I’ve been there. My mission is to normalize your experience: your reactive moments aren't a failure, they are your nervous system responding to stress. As a Polyvagal-informed Social Worker, I provide a space to soothe that 'survival mode' and regain your clarity. By stabilizing your internal compass, you don’t just survive the teen years—you transform the entire family dynamic from the inside out.

Online in Gatineau, QC (Online Only)
Gatineau sits directly across the Ottawa River from Canada's capital and functions as the Quebec side of the Ottawa-Gatineau National Capital Region, with a predominantly French-speaking population of federal government workers who access many services in both official languages. The city's identity is distinct from Ottawa — more working-class and francophone in character — and French-language therapy is the norm, with access to English-speaking practitioners limited relative to the Ontario side of the river. CISSS de l'Outaouais provides public mental health resources, and many Gatineau residents access the broader Ottawa-Gatineau therapy ecosystem via the bridges connecting both cities. Therapists here frequently encounter the stresses of public service careers, bilingual professional demands, and the particular challenges of raising families in a bicultural, bilingual metro area.
