Our Approach
Science-backed Support, With Compassion.
We believe therapy should feel both grounded and human. something you can trust, and something that truly helps.
A Modern Approach to Feeling Better
At CBT Wellness Clinic of Ottawa, our foundation is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), one of the most well-researched and effective methods for treating anxiety, depression, and other common mental health concerns. We integrate a range of modern, evidence-based tools to meet you where you are and guide you where you want to go.
You’re not just getting a one-size-fits-all method. You’re getting thoughtful, personalized care that adapts to your story, your needs, and your goals.
What We Use in Our Work:
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT helps you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected—and how changing one can impact the others. It's practical, structured, and proven to help with anxiety, depression, phobias, and more.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Mindfulness helps you build awareness of your thoughts and emotions in the present moment. This approach reduces stress, increases emotional regulation, and improves your overall sense of balance.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT combines mindfulness with specific skills for managing big emotions, tolerating distress, and improving relationships. It’s especially helpful if you feel emotionally reactive or overwhelmed.
Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT)
ACT teaches you how to accept what you can’t control while taking committed action toward the life you want. It helps you move away from avoidance and toward meaning and growth.
A Collaborative Partnership
You’re the expert on your own life. We bring the clinical expertise, but therapy works best when it’s a true partnership. From our very first session, we’ll collaborate on a plan that feels right for you—your comfort, your goals, your pace.
We also believe wellness is whole-person work. That’s why we’re open to partnering with other professionals in your support circle, like physicians, nutritionists, or personal trainers, to create a comprehensive care plan if needed.
