Our Services in Downtown Ottawa

Our Downtown Ottawa clinic offers a wide range of comprehensive services designed to address various mental health concerns. Here’s a detailed look at some of the essential services we provide:

Anxiety Treatment

Anxiety is a common mental health issue that can significantly impact your daily life. At our clinic, we offer specialized anxiety treatment to help you manage and overcome your symptoms. 

Our approach includes:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT is a proven therapeutic method that helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours associated with anxiety. Our therapists are trained in CBT techniques to help you develop effective coping strategies.
  • Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR): MBSR focuses on mindfulness and relaxation techniques to help you manage stress and anxiety. This approach encourages you to stay present and reduce the impact of anxiety on your life.
  • Exposure Therapy: For those with specific phobias or severe anxiety, exposure therapy can be an effective treatment. This technique gradually exposes you to anxiety-provoking situations in a controlled manner, helping you build resilience and reduce fear.

Depression Support

Depression can affect every aspect of your life, from your mood to your physical health. At our Ottawa clinic, we offer comprehensive depression support to help you navigate through this challenging period. 

Our services include:

  • Psychotherapy: Our therapists use various forms of psychotherapy, including psychodynamic therapy and interpersonal therapy, to help you explore the underlying causes of your depression and develop coping strategies.
  • Medication Management: If necessary, our team can work with you to evaluate and manage medication options that may complement your therapeutic treatment. We ensure that you receive the right balance of medication and therapy for optimal results.
  • Support Groups: Connecting with others who are experiencing similar challenges can be incredibly beneficial. Our support groups provide a safe space for sharing experiences and receiving peer support.

Brain Injury Recovery

Recovering from a brain injury can be a complex process that requires specialized care. Our Ottawa clinic offers tailored services to support your recovery and improve your quality of life. 

Our approach includes:

  • Neuropsychological Assessments: We conduct comprehensive assessments to evaluate the impact of your brain injury on cognitive and emotional functioning. These assessments help us develop a targeted treatment plan.
  • Rehabilitation Therapy: Our rehabilitation services focus on cognitive, emotional, and physical recovery. We use evidence-based therapies to help you regain function and adapt to any changes resulting from your injury.
  • Family Support: A brain injury affects the individual and their family. We offer support and counselling for family members to help them understand and cope with the challenges of brain injury recovery.

Comprehensive Therapeutic Approaches

Our experienced therapists in Ottawa employ a variety of therapeutic approaches to ensure that you receive the best care possible. 

Our therapeutic methods include:

  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): This approach helps you identify and change negative thought patterns and behaviours, promoting healthier ways of thinking and acting.
  • Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) combines cognitive-behavioural techniques with mindfulness strategies to help people manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal relationships.
  • Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR): EMDR is a specialized therapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. It is particularly effective for those with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
