Individual Therapy for Personal Growth

Individual therapy often referred to as psychotherapy or counselling is a one-on-one therapeutic process between an individual and a trained therapist. The primary goal of individual therapy is to provide a safe and confidential space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and work through personal challenges. Using various therapeutic techniques, our therapists help individuals gain insight into their issues, develop coping strategies, and foster emotional resilience.

Psychotherapy in Ottawa: In person and online therapy

Depending on the client’s preference and circumstances, our therapists conduct their sessions either face-to-face in our offices located at 346 Frank street or through a HIPPA approved virtual platform.

The Process

One of the most important vehicles of change in the therapeutic process is a safe connection with your therapist. The therapeutic process typically begins with creating a safe and connected relationship while simultaneously establishing therapeutic goals. 

Our therapists employ various evidence-based techniques and approaches to help clients gain insight into the root causes of their distress, identify patterns in thinking and behavior and establish change.
