Individual Psychotherapy in Ottawa

Individual therapy offers a structured yet flexible space to explore the patterns, experiences, and nervous system responses that shape how you relate to yourself and others. Together, we identify what is maintaining distress, build practical skills for emotional regulation, and create meaningful shifts that extend beyond the therapy room.

Sessions may integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, mindfulness-informed approaches, and body-based techniques depending on your goals. Therapy is collaborative, paced thoughtfully, and tailored to your individual needs.

In-person sessions are available in Ottawa, with virtual therapy offered across Ontario in both English and French.

STRUCTURED | COLLABORATIVE | VIRTUAL

Virtual Couples Counselling

Our virtual couples counselling sessions are led exclusively by Terri and provide a structured, supportive space for partners to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen emotional connection.

Whether you are navigating recurring conflict, life transitions, intimacy concerns, or feeling disconnected, couples therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns and developing practical tools for healthier interaction.

Sessions are offered virtually across Ontario in  English.

NEUROPLASTIC | EVIDENCE-FOCUSED | BRAIN-BODY

Pain Reprocessing Therapy

Pain Reprocessing Therapy focuses on the brain–body processes that sustain chronic pain and medically unexplained symptoms. Using psychosomatic and mindfulness-based approaches, this work helps identify learned pain pathways, reduce fear-based responses, and retrain the nervous system toward safety.

Rather than focusing solely on symptom management, pain reprocessing supports a shift in how pain is experienced and interpreted. Through structured education, nervous system regulation, and gradual exposure to feared sensations or movements, many individuals experience meaningful reductions in pain intensity and functional limitations.

This specialized service is provided exclusively by Catherine and is available person in Ottawa or virtually across Ontario.

GROW YOUR PRACTICE

Under My Supervision

As an experienced therapist, I offer a supervision service for psychotherapists to guide them through the challenges of building a successful private practice with confidence, knowledge and integrity. I provide personalized guidance, structure, and support to help therapists develop their unique style and identity.

​I understand the importance of building a strong community with trusted colleagues for growth and development in this profession. My supervision service offers a safe and compassionate environment for psychotherapists to collaborate and learn from each other. Gradually, I teach the concepts, theories, practices and skills that allow therapists to understand the interconnected components of being a psychotherapist.

Our Mission

We want to teach you how to approach the challenges and obstacles associated with this profession with confidence, knowledge and integrity with the hope that you will maintain a fulfilling career. 

Whether you are a new therapist starting out or an experienced therapist looking for support and guidance, I am here to help. Contact me to learn more about my supervision services and how I can support you on your journey.
