Our Approach

Dedicated to guiding you toward emotional well-being.

Our approach to therapy is holistic, catering to the needs of each client, as everyone is different. We offer comprehensive mental health services in Ottawa counselling individuals, couples and families by integrating various modalities to suit client needs. Different therapeutic approaches derive from each therapist’s professional and educational background while utilizing their assessment of what steps are needed to create a plan that works for you. Any step taken will be taken with you. At Willow Roots Therapy emphasis is placed on interpersonal relationships and their histories, family of origin, maladaptive coping strategies that may have derived due to our upbringing, and figuring out healthier tools for healthier behavioral, mental and psychological outcomes. The therapeutic environment is a safe space where confidentiality meets acceptance, understanding, and support for each person’s concerns, fostering a sense of welcome and acknowledgement.

We strive to create a safe, confidential space where you feel accepted, understood, and supported. Whether you’re facing relationship issues, depression, anxiety, or everyday life challenges, we’re here to help you navigate these obstacles effectively. Our therapeutic environment is designed to provide you with the tools and insights needed to foster personal growth and emotional well-being.
