You’re Not Alone: Trauma-Informed Therapy for Ottawa

You’re Not Alone: Trauma-Informed Therapy for Ottawa

Looking for a trusted therapist in Ottawa? 

Starting therapy means you care enough about yourself to want to heal, grow, and understand your mind better. It’s a brave, loving act of self-care.
At Gowthorpe Therapists, we offer online therapy designed to support your mental health journey from the comfort of your home.
Remember: Needing therapy doesn’t mean something is “wrong” with you. It simply means you care about yourself.

Our therapists support Ottawa individuals and families in every stage of life:

We’re proud to support residents across Gloucester, Orleans, Kanata, Nepean, and the greater Ottawa area.

 

Choosing to talk, to heal, to learn how to manage your yourself — that’s strength. And maybe, today’s the perfect day to start.

When it comes to getting help through therapy, finding the right therapist makes a big difference. Not every therapist will be the perfect fit for you, and that’s okay. Just like how we feel more comfortable around certain friends or teachers, it’s natural to connect better with some therapists than others. What matters most is finding someone you can trust, feel safe with, and talk to openly.

You don’t need to wait for things to fall apart before reaching out. You can start simply because you want to feel better.

Common Questions We Hear

We know starting therapy can bring up a lot of questions. That’s completely okay — here are some of the things people often ask before getting started with us.

What is online therapy?

Online therapy (also called teletherapy or virtual counselling) is mental health care delivered by video, phone, or secure chat. In Ottawa, it lets you meet with a therapist from home using your computer or phone.

Does online therapy work as well as in-person therapy?

Yes. Research and many clients show online therapy can be just as effective for anxiety, depression, trauma, couples counselling, and more — as long as the therapist is licensed and skilled.

How much does therapy cost in Ottawa?

Costs vary by therapist and type of therapy. Typical online therapy session fees in Ottawa range from lower-cost sliding-scale options to standard private rates. Check our booking page or contact us for exact prices and sliding scale availability.

How long is a therapy session?

Most sessions are 50–60 minutes. Some services (like assessments or couple sessions) may be different. We’ll confirm length when you book.

What happens in my first therapy session?

You’ll meet your therapist, talk about what brought you to therapy, set goals, and agree on how you want to work. It’s an introduction — no pressure, just an initial plan.

How do I choose the right therapist in Ottawa?

Look for licensing, specialties (e.g., trauma, couples, child therapy), experience, and a good personal fit. We can match you with a therapist who fits your needs and preferences.

Can I switch therapists if the first one isn’t a good fit?

We always start with best match. Yes. If you feel it's not a good match, we’ll help you find another Gowthorpe Ottawa therapist who better matches your needs.

No matter where you are in your healing journey, support is available. Reach out today to connect with one of our Ottawa therapists — and begin your path toward a calmer, more grounded life.
