Therapy & Assessments in Ottawa, ON
Offering therapy and psychological assessments in Ottawa for those looking for support, answers, or both.

This is evidence-based care that feels human, transparent, and grounded.
You’re exhausted from wondering what’s going on.
You know something feels off, but you’re not sure what to call it. Maybe you’ve been feeling exhausted, irritable, constantly on edge, struggling at work or school in Ottawa, or watching your child have a hard time and wondering how to best help them.
You’ve been trying to cope on your own for a long time, but life in Ottawa can be a lot to handle. You know you’re ready for answers as much as support.
At Ottawa River Integrative Mental Health, we offer therapy and psychological assessments in Ottawa to help you better understand what you’re carrying and what kind of care fits best.

What We Offer at Our Ottawa Location
Not everyone reaches out with a clear label for what they are dealing with. You may know you want support, or you may only know that something feels heavier, harder, or more confusing than it should.
At Ottawa River Integrative Mental Health in Ottawa, we begin by taking the time to understand the fuller picture of what you have been experiencing, what feels hardest right now, and what kind of support would be most useful. From there, we create a plan that fits your goals, your life, and the challenges you are navigating.
That support may include therapy, an assessment, or both. Our Ottawa team offers integrative therapy as well as psychological assessments that can help clarify concerns like ADHD, trauma, and learning difficulties, so you’re not left guessing about what is going on or what kind of support may help most.
Whether you are looking for support, answers, or both, our goal is to make the process feel clear, compassionate, and actionable.
With the right support, people often begin to understand themselves better, feel less overwhelmed, and find a way forward that feels more manageable.

Conditions We Support At Our Ottawa Location
Our Ottawa team supports children, teens, adults, couples, and families with a wide range of challenges, including:
Anxiety & Stress
Anxiety rarely announces itself cleanly. It shows up as overthinking, avoidance, physical tension, or a low-level hum of dread you can’t quite name. Therapy in Ottawa can help you understand what is driving it and start feeling more at ease in your own life.
Trauma & PTSD
Some experiences leave a mark that doesn’t fade on its own. Trauma therapy in Ottawa helps you process what happened at a pace that feels safe, so it no longer shapes how you move through the world.
Depression & Emotional Burnout
Depression doesn’t always look like sadness. It can look like numbness, irritability, disconnection, or simply running on empty for too long. Therapy in Ottawa can help you understand what is happening and find your way back to yourself.
ADHD & Executive Functioning Challenges
If focus, follow-through, time, and emotional regulation have always required more effort than they seem to for other people, therapy and an ADHD assessment in Ottawa can give you clarity, practical tools, and a lot less self-blame.
Relationship & Family Issues
Conflict, resentment, distance, and miscommunication don’t resolve on their own. We offer couples therapy and family therapy in Ottawa to help people understand what is happening beneath the surface and begin relating differently.
Concerns Affecting Children & Teens
When a child or teen is struggling, the whole family feels it. We support younger clients in ways that fit their age and needs, while also helping parents make sense of what is happening and what kind of support may help most.

Questions About Therapy & Assessments in Ottawa

Yes. We have automatic doors, an accessible elevator to our second-floor office suite, and an accessible washroom.

Do you offer culturally inclusive services?

Do I need a referral to book therapy or an assessment?
In many cases, no referral is needed. Some insurance plans or specific assessment requests may require one, so it is always worth checking with your provider or asking our Care Coordinators.
How do I know whether therapy or an assessment is the better fit?
Therapy is often the right fit when you are looking for support, coping tools, and a place to work through what you are feeling. An assessment can be helpful when you are looking for more clarity about concerns like ADHD, trauma, or learning challenges. If you are unsure, we can help you sort that out.
Are therapy and assessments available for children and teens in Ottawa?
Yes. Our Ottawa team works with children, teens, and adults, and care is tailored to each person’s age, needs, and goals.
Can I book therapy or an assessment online?
Yes. You can reach out to our team to get started, and we can help you book the service that fits your needs. If you are not sure whether therapy, an assessment, or both makes the most sense, we can help you figure that out, too.
How long does a psychological assessment take?
The length of a psychological assessment depends on the type of assessment and the questions being explored. We offer a range of assessments, some more straightforward and others more in-depth. You can visit our assessment page to learn more, or contact our team if you would like help understanding what to expect.
