Supporting Your Healing, Mental Health, and Personal Growth

At Spark, we believe that the right fit between you and your therapist is essential. That’s why we take great care to match you with a clinician who best understands your needs, goals, and lived experiences.

Whether you're looking for short-term support or ongoing care, our psychotherapy services are personalized to meet you where you are.

From navigating difficult life transitions and circumstances to managing symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorders (PTSD) and overcoming the effects of trauma, anxiety or depression, grief and loss, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, or other mental health challenges, seeking support takes courage. We’re committed to providing care that is compassionate, respectful, non-judgmental, and culturally sensitive, tailored to your unique story and needs.

Our experienced therapists draw from a wide range of evidence-based approaches to help you navigate and process challenging emotions, explore meaningful insights, and find practical, empowering ways to support your mental health and wellbeing.

Therapy is available in the format that works best for you, whether that’s virtually, at home, in the community, or at our Downtown Ottawa clinic. Wherever care happens, we’re here to support you in a way that feels accessible, respectful, and grounded in trust.

Focus Areas:
  • Emotional and Mental Health Support
  • Relationships and Communication
  • Trauma, Grief, Loss, and Depression
  • Life Transitions and Coping Strategies

Our Approach

Our team of caring, dedicated psychotherapists is here to support you through life’s challenges.

In every session, we strive to create an open space where you feel safe, heard, and supported with kindness, warmth, and sincerity guiding our work together. We believe that healthcare should be personal, and healing happens through connection, dignity, and trust. By exploring difficult inner experiences and developing coping skills to navigate daily life, we help and empower clients to move beyond their current struggles and challenges.

Our therapists are all registered to practice Psychotherapy and hold a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology or a related specialty.

Ways We Can Help

We provide various forms of psychotherapy to meet your needs:

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Promotes psychological flexibility by encouraging individuals to accept difficult emotions rather than avoid them, allowing them to take values-based actions instead of reacting automatically or out of fear.
Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)
Helps individuals quickly reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic or distressing memories while preserving the facts, enabling them to move forward without being overwhelmed by painful emotions or triggers.
Somatic Therapy
Focuses on the mind-body connection by exploring how physical sensations, tension, posture, and movement relate to emotional and psychological experiences, especially those linked to trauma.
Internal Family Systems (IFS)
Encourages self-understanding and internal harmony by helping individuals develop a compassionate relationship with the different parts of themselves, healing emotional wounds and resolving internal conflicts.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Equips individuals with practical skills for managing emotions, navigating and improving relationships, increasing distress tolerance, and developing greater mindfulness in their daily lives.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours that may be contributing to anxiety, depression, or other mental health challenges.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Explores how unconscious thoughts and past experiences can impact present feelings and behaviours, helping individuals gain a deeper understanding of emotional patterns and relationships.
Humanistic Therapy
Supports personal growth, self-awareness, and the realization of individual potential through empathy, authenticity, and a non-judgmental therapeutic relationship.
