Therapists in Ottawa, ON

Imagine anxiety like a small bubble, that we see and can recognize is there (ex. what if this happens in the future). Over time, as a result of not coping with anxious thoughts and engaging in behaviours like avoidance, that bubble can expand and start to really limit your daily living. It's important to have a therapist that specializes in anxiety, and can understand and identify safety behaviours that may be holding you back! We work with a wide range of anxiety problems including phobias (e.g. emetophobia, driving phobia), generalized anxiety, OCD, health anxiety, panic attacks, and social anxiety.

We help you regain control of your emotions affected by trauma, OCD and anxiety. With personalized treatment, you can move on with your life. We are a team of experienced therapists (clinical psychologists, social workers, psychotherapists). Book a free consultation with us and our Clinical Directors will match you with someone. We use therapies that work so that you can stop living in the past or the future.
