Best Psychopedagogy Clinic Ottawa Near Me

4worldlovers: My name is Celine Goyette and I work with individuals as a Clinical Therapist in Ottawa Ontario. In 2010, I completed a Masters degree in counselling at Saint Paul University and registered as a Certified Canadian Counsellor with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I am also a Registered Psychotherapist with the new College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

Making the decision to begin a counselling process takes courage, risk and a willingness to explore change. Sometimes we have periods in our lives which, like seasons, are joyful and refreshing, and other times, slow moving, challenging and evoking intense and profound emotional experiences. I appreciate having been taught at an early age how each season carries its own medicines and teachings and I believe every season in our life also reflects this wisdom.

Life Seasons Psychotherapy is about a process of change that respectfully supports you at your pace. I have an integrative and relational perspective to therapy and change and my experience is grounded in a broad range of clinical and Indigenous approaches that support people in exploring responses that are no longer adaptive. I support people in taking care of themselves so they can experience the benefits of self-awareness and being responsible for their personal change.

People are much more than what has happened to them. The therapeutic process should not focus primarily on a person’s “brokenness” or “pathology”, but rather, explore areas that have been disconnected. Even though old ways of responding feel familiar, they can interfere with current needs and prevent learning new skills to better cope with life’s challenges.

I have worked in mental health since 2009 and my experience in community health has led me to working with a wide range of issues, such as:

Impacts of foster care and adoptions systems (“ ‘60s Scoop”) on survivors and their families

I regularly pursue professional development and draw on my training in a variety of frameworks such as:

Perhaps most importantly, I have deep respect and appreciation for the knowledge and support of Indigenous cultural teachers in my life who help me remember who I am as someone with mixed ancestry, and how to stay grounded with my feet close to the fire. Honouring people’s dignity and respecting their right to choose what best supports their healing process and determining their own path, helps strengthen their cycle of change and wellness, while reclaiming and restoring their spirit and culture on their terms.

How long will it take until I feel some relief, and how long does therapy last?

Every therapeutic relationship is unique. How do I know if the fit is right?

4worldlovers: My goal is to provide supportive, collaborative, and evidence-based psychological services to children, youth, adults and families in Ottawa. I hope to provide clients with empowering knowledge and support to address their struggles and concerns, as well as to help them build upon their strengths and help with their overall well-being and functioning. I value the innate worth of all persons and seek to understand clients within their unique context and perspective.
