Trauma and PTSD Therapists in Kanata, ON
Jessica A. Hughes
Registered Psychotherapist
We live in a world that moves faster than we can feel. If you feel disconnected or stuck in old patterns, therapy offers a space to slow down and understand what the body knows, what emotion remembers, and what your distress is trying to tell you. I work with people who want more than just symptom relief, those seeking depth, meaning, and the freedom to live authentically.
Sneha Pitre
Psychologist
I appreciate you taking the step towards looking after yourself. It takes immense courage whether you are seeking support for the first time or returning to therapy. I wish to support you with the steps you are taking. Some people have specific goals for therapy, while others may be unsure in the beginning. Wherever you are, is a good starting point.

Donnica Campbell
Registered Social Worker/ Psychotherapist
Beginning therapy can feel like a vulnerable step, and it can also open the door to greater grounding, clarity, and self-connection. I work from a trauma-informed and inclusive approach. Together, we’ll explore what healing looks like for you, at a pace that feels supportive, and work toward feeling more connected, empowered, and well.
Victoria Theodoris
Psychotherapist
Therapy is not just about techniques or sessions; it’s about the relationships, and that begins with a conversation. To make this step easier, I offer a free 20-minute consultation. You’ll have the chance to ask questions, share what feels comfortable, and receive a genuine sense of whether working together feels like the right path forward.
Zarifa Andani

This work isn’t about fixing your parts—it’s about helping you feel more like your whole self again. We can work together to slow down, get curious, and listen deeply. Our internal body wisdom is an integral source of information that speaks more significantly than words. Real change is possible when ALL of you feels safe enough to be seen and supported, just as you are.
Anya Rameshwar
Therapist
In our first session, my priority is our connection. A positive initial connection will help the therapy relationship flourish. Through therapy, we will examine different parts of your life, your memories, past experiences and where you are at present.
