Therapists in Ottawa, ON

I'm Debbie Good and I'm a well seasoned therapist with 30+ years of experience helping people work through a wide variety of life issues.

Accepting New Clients. The feeling of being insecure and unmotivated when everyone around you seems to have everything figured out about their life, can be discouraging and frustrating. At times, it is like no matter how much you try nothing is good enough. It doesn’t take long for you to feel insecure about what you’re doing and doubting yourself. The way you communicate is an important factor. This not only towards yourself, it also includes the way you talk to your partner, family and friends. The words you use influence your thoughts, behaviours and body sensations.

Einstein said, “No problem can be solved with the same level of consciousness that created it.” If you are feeling stuck and lacking the skills or insight to grow beyond your current situation, some new strategies could be required to make positive shifts.

I believe that everyone has the resources within them to create a live that they love and that is uniquely their own.

**Accepting New Clients** I believe that the pain each man goes through is unique to his issues but is not dissimilar from the pain other men experience. Most men are taught about what feelings are acceptable to feel and in what situations it is acceptable to feel them. This can lead to men hearing phrases such as “toughen up”, “be strong” or “don’t cry”. Some men will say “I’m alright” when answering questions about their well being when they really aren’t “alright”. I believe such phrases and answers must be challenged. Every man deserves to be heard and have his feelings acknowledged. Together, we will work towards that goal.

I am a psychotherapist who specializes in helping individuals heal from trauma, relationship issues, and other concerns. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, including “Parts work” which is based on the idea that each person has many different parts to their minds and psyches. Each of these parts has unique needs, wants, and beliefs and may be consciously or unconsciously helping or harming us as we move through our days. I help my clients integrate the many pieces within them to create more choice, expand their capacity to problem-solve, and to give them a greater sense of wholeness and aliveness in their daily lives.
