Everyone goes through tough times. Not everyone has to go through those alone without guidance and support. Identifying the right therapist can be crucial to your healing and personal growth.
I provide assessment and therapy services to adults and couples as an Ottawa therapist. I am qualified to assess and diagnose a variety of issues, including mood disorders (e.g., Major Depressive Disorder), anxiety (e.g., Social Anxiety Disorder, phobias), sexual disorders, and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Whether someone wants a formal diagnosis or not, I serve people facing a range of difficulties, such as issues with mood (e.g., depression), anxiety, trauma, relationship or interpersonal challenges. Further, I have specialized training in sex therapy (e.g., arousal, desire, orgasm difficulties). I am committed to providing an inclusive and affirming space for LGBTQ2S+ individuals, whether they seek to address issues related to their identities or simply require a supportive environment that respects their lived experiences.
I strive to create a therapeutic environment characterized by mutual respect, trust, and safety. I take an integrative approach, using evidence-based approaches to meet the specific needs of the people I work with, which may involve elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness.
I am in the final months of a PhD program in clinical psychology. Currently, I work as a part-time professor, a role I will maintain until January 2025, when I will transition to full-time status; duties include training students in therapy for adults and couples, teaching both graduate and undergraduate courses, and leading a research program that focuses on sexuality, the responsible inclusion of trans identities in research, and interventions aimed at reducing homelessness.
I offer therapy sessions both virtually (telehealth) and in person. For in-person services, I operate from the University of Ottawa’s Vanier building, conveniently located downtown, steps away from the uOttawa LRT station. For telehealth services, I can serve anyone based in Ontario.
I am a therapist working under the supervision of Dr. Jacob Kaiserman, C.Psych.
