Adrien has over ten years of international clinical experience in hospitals, community agencies, and private practice, and has recently returned from the United Kingdom. He is currently a registered psychotherapist (qualifying) and provides sessions under supervision at the Ebb Therapy Group in Ottawa.
Adrien aims to create a compassionate and safe space for clients to share their lived experiences. His practice employs an integrative scientist-practitioner approach, meaning that while he critically reflects on and draws from research evidence to inform his practice, he also stays close to clients’ lived experiences with curiosity and empathy. He helps clients understand the patterns, thoughts, and feelings they have toward themselves and others by exploring how these were formed through past and present relationships. This enables clients to reduce their distress, gain more control over their lives, and develop more meaningful relationships.
Adrien trained in counselling psychology and psychotherapy in both Canada and the United Kingdom, which has broadened and enriched his practice. Following graduate training in neuroscience, he sought a more holistic method of clinical practice that individualizes interventions to match the body-psycho-social-spiritual needs of clients. He specializes in humanistic, transpersonal, existential, relational psychoanalytic, neuroaffective, and cognitive behavioural approaches. He also draws from treatment interventions based on dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to support clients’ needs and goals.
Adrien provides therapy in both English and French.

Amira is a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, and a member of the Ontario Association of Social Workers. She approaches counselling from humanistic and existential perspectives, which means that she views clients as innately having the inner resources to confront challenges, gain insight into themselves, pursue their self-determined goals, and create greater meaning and purpose in their lives.
Amira sees her role as providing clients with support, some appropriate tools, and an enabling environment for them to engage in their own individual process of growth. She strives to approach her clients with warmth, empathy, acceptance, authenticity and an appreciation of the uniqueness of every individual’s lived experience in the world. She believes strongly in collaborative, anti-oppressive and trauma-informed practice.
To best suit the individual needs of each of her clients, Amira draws upon a range of approaches and therapeutic models. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Approaches and Positive Psychology. She is open to working with clients of all ages, but has specific experience working with youth and young adults as they grapple with concerns such as depression, anxiety, social and interpersonal challenges, academic and workplace stress, and as they navigate personal identity, life changes and adjustments.
Amira completed her graduate degree in social work at the University of Toronto. She also holds a graduate degree in public health from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in the UK, with a specific interest in equity and social determinants of physical and mental health.
