Are you feeling worried, stuck, and needing to see progress for yourself or someone you are worried about? If you are experiencing anxiety, loneliness, low mood, grief, or relationship difficulties this can impact your quality of life. Therapy can help. I specialize in working with males, college and University students, parents, adults experiencing mood challenges, relationship difficulties or trouble forming healthy habits across Ontario.

Men experience the world a little differently, so your therapy should be too. I provide integrative therapy tailored to your needs in a non-judgemental and shame-free environment. I approach each client with interest and warmth focusing on building resilience and insight. I work with individuals and couples on various issues such as: relationships, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, motivation, emotional regulation (difficulties in experiencing emotions), work pressures and more. Perhaps you just feel misunderstood or stuck? I can help unravel this with you. Reach out to me today, and let’s talk in a free consult about what you need from your therapy.

Jaswir Dhillon
I am a holistic and integrative therapist, concerned with the overall long-term physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being of my clients. I work with clients who experience depression, anxiety, intergenerational trauma, complex trauma, relationship difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, life transitions, family of origin conflict and other issues using a culturally-sensitive perspective in a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment.
I use an evidence-based and integrative therapeutic approach, and I draw on elements of mindfulness, psychodynamic, experiential, emotion-focused, somatic and cognitive behavioural therapeutic modalities to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your specific needs.
Natalie Carrière
Natalie Carrière
I favour a holistic, integrative approach, tailored to meet your individual needs. Drawing on various modalities including mindfulness, CBT and ACT, we build on your strengths and resilience rather than focusing on pathology or diagnoses. Together, we identify thought and behaviour patterns no longer serving you, helping you to change and heal. I am sensitive to the fact that problems clients bring might have a spiritual dimension and remain open to working with your personal meanings. I enjoy working with clients and consider it a privilege to be able to accompany them on their journeys of self-discovery and healing.
Men & Healing
Men & Healing
Men & Healing believes that men can live happier and healthier lives. We further believe that with the right opportunity for change, the right approach, the most committed therapists working with innovative models of care, transformation can happen. Our core mission is: to support men, in a process of change, with structure and integrity.
We are one of the world’s leading clinics working in a male-centred approach to psychology and therapy. Our 20-plus years of experience and expertise in the field is well known. Our models of services have been taught internationally, the research outcomes for our trauma recovery services have been deemed clinically effective, and thousands of men have benefitted from our programs over the years.
In addition to individual therapy, we are one of the only clinics in Canada to offer a long-term childhood trauma recovery program for men. We offer many different group therapy options, focusing on anger management, sexual integrity, emotional integrity, and childhood trauma recovery (also called Men & Healing).

My approach to therapy is grounded in social justice and anti-oppression, and guided by narrative frameworks. I believe our lives are shaped by the stories we and others tell us about who we are. When we decide to come to therapy, it’s often because stories about problems (and about how WE are a problem) are dominating our lives. My role is to help you examine these stories and your relationship to them, and to explore, create, and sometimes change the stories in your life.
Clare Glassco
Clare Glassco
I am a therapist providing individual care for youth (12+) and adults out of Ottawa, Ontario, the traditional, unceded territories of the Algonquin nation. In my work, I provide a trauma-informed space for people to unpack their stories, so that together we can create individualized, holistic plans of care.
I practice from an anti-racist, anti-oppressive framework and specialize in locating individual struggle within the larger picture of peoples’ lives and society. My aim is to not only support individuals during the time we work together, but to co-create tools of mental wellness that they can engage with for the rest of their lives.
Gregory Smith
Gregory Smith
In my therapy practice, I deeply understand the frustration and confusion that come with phrases like “I am so frustrated! What is going on in my mind?” If this resonates with you, know that you are not alone. My commitment is to create a safe, empathetic environment where your thoughts and feelings are not just heard, but deeply understood and validated.
Together, we will navigate your inner world, easing the overwhelming thoughts that can feel isolating and confining. In our sessions, whether in-person or online, we will explore your unique challenges in a warm, inviting atmosphere, gently guiding you towards a journey of personal growth and emotional resilience. Your struggles are real, and you matter immensely. If you’re ready to begin this transformative path, reach out to me. Our collaborative work will focus on creating a space where your voice leads the way, where we share the goal of your well-being and inner peace.
