Are you struggling with your
mental health or relationships?

At Catharsis Psychology and Psychotherapy, we support individuals navigating a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges. Do any of these sound familiar?

  • Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or constantly worried?

  • Struggling with low energy or motivation to get things done?

  • Wrestling with the belief that no matter what you do, you're never enough?

  • Finding it hard to regulate your emotions?

  • Facing difficulties in your relationships with family, friends, or partners?

  • Feeling stuck in recurring patterns that lead to distress?

  • Questioning whether your current relationship is truly meeting your needs?

  • Unsure how to improve the way you relate to others or communicate your needs?

Do you identify with any of the above? 

​

Asking for help may be difficult, but you do not have to do this all alone.

If someone on our team feels like the right fit, we’d love to hear from you! Book online or get in touch today.

With one-on-one sessions with a therapist in Ottawa, you have the opportunity to work on identifying, coping and understanding your emotional distress. You control the pace, methods used, timing of your sessions, and more. Available for clients 13 years old and older.

Group therapy offers a safe and confidential space to explore emotions, build relationships, and create community. By sharing experiences with others who are going through similar challenges, group therapy can facilitate healing, understanding, and growth.

Wishing you could communicate better? Wonder why you have a tough time understanding one another? Feeling hopeless about the trajectory of the relationship? Couples therapy may be a viable option to reconnect and re-invent old patterns.
