Clare Glassco
Clare Glassco
I am a therapist providing individual care for youth (12+) and adults out of Ottawa, Ontario, the traditional, unceded territories of the Algonquin nation. In my work, I provide a trauma-informed space for people to unpack their stories, so that together we can create individualized, holistic plans of care.
I practice from an anti-racist, anti-oppressive framework and specialize in locating individual struggle within the larger picture of peoples’ lives and society. My aim is to not only support individuals during the time we work together, but to co-create tools of mental wellness that they can engage with for the rest of their lives.

Fit is everything in therapy, without it you can feel like you’re spinning your wheels wasting time and money, just not getting the results you want from your investment. The men who work well with me prefer someone who is no-nonsense, likes to laugh, swears a lot, and does not take themselves too seriously,. At the same time, I’m down for tackling serious, dark, gnarly issues that you may never have been willing to even say out loud.
I’m also a semi-retired dentist (weird combo, I know), with extensive expertise in chronic pain and serious health issues. I work with pain patients and caregivers to manage the wear and tear that pain and illness has on folks and their families.
Sound like maybe a good fit? Reach out.

Hannah McGechie

My approach to therapy is grounded in social justice and anti-oppression, and guided by narrative frameworks. I believe our lives are shaped by the stories we and others tell us about who we are. When we decide to come to therapy, it’s often because stories about problems (and about how WE are a problem) are dominating our lives. My role is to help you examine these stories and your relationship to them, and to explore, create, and sometimes change the stories in your life.

Natalie Carrière
Natalie Carrière
I favour a holistic, integrative approach, tailored to meet your individual needs. Drawing on various modalities including mindfulness, CBT and ACT, we build on your strengths and resilience rather than focusing on pathology or diagnoses. Together, we identify thought and behaviour patterns no longer serving you, helping you to change and heal. I am sensitive to the fact that problems clients bring might have a spiritual dimension and remain open to working with your personal meanings. I enjoy working with clients and consider it a privilege to be able to accompany them on their journeys of self-discovery and healing.
