Congrats on taking this courageous step in pursuing therapy! If you're struggling with anxiety, self esteem or navigating your relationships, I think we could be a great fit to work together. I use a variety of evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you tackle issues like anxiety, body image, imposter syndrome, perfectionism, to help you conquer anxiety, speak your mind, set healthy boundaries, and feel confident in all areas of your life. As a first generation immigrant, I understand what an integral role that culture can have on how we feel and how we deal with our emotions. We'll work in a way that honours your cultural background and all other parts of your identity including religious beliefs, gender identity and sexual orientation. I offer a free 15 minute consultation so we can touch base and you can decide if we'd be a good fit. Send me and a message or a phone call and we can get started together on your healing journey! Looking forward to meet you!

As an eldest daughter in a Pakistani Muslim immigrant household, I understand and empathize with the struggles of balancing the expectations of religion and the different cultures. Although each person has different and unique circumstances and situations. Having some similarities with a therapist can be helpful and also make it easier to take that first step into entering therapy. I provide a non judgmental, strength based, collaborative trauma informed approach to help individuals achieve their goals. I encourage discussions about emotions, and help clients to challenge their perspectives, while also remaining practical and solution-focused when required. I believe in the importance of connection and the need for a safe space. I approach each client with warmth and compassion allowing them to feel safe enough to be vulnerable. I understand that asking for help is difficult so I want to be there for you to make the process easier, and walk alongside you as you take this journey towards health and contentment. I have a variety of experience working with individuals from various backgrounds. I have experience in supporting individuals with concerns such as depression, anxiety, self- esteem, stress, coping with transitions as well as navigating the mental health system and connecting with resources in the community. I continue to take professional development courses to enhance my learning and stay up to date in the developing changes that are occurring in the profession. My recent courses in CBT have helped me get a better and deeper understanding of this modality which will help me better support my clients. I am also taking a complex post traumatic stress disorder course which is helping me get a better understanding of the impact of trauma and its effect on individuals lives and the therapeutic relationship. I specialize in helping with Mental health and addictions, youth (12 and up) individuals involved with the criminal justice system and those who have been in a motor vehicle accident.

Shanelle Jarvis

location

Ottawa, ON, Canada

I strive to create a supportive, caring, and open environment. As everyone is unique and on their own personal journey, I will meet you where you are in your journey while using a variety of approaches. In my work with adults (18+), I employ a humanistic orientation, which means that I believe that each individual can take control of their lives, create change, and establish a positive outlook, regardless of the challenges that life may bring. As we work together, you will have the opportunity to be your authentic self while working on healing past and present wounds. By the end of our therapy journey, you will grow as an individual, develop empowerment, have a positive outlook on life, work on any relationship issues and be able to change your life. Additionally, you will have the chance to freely explore your thoughts and feelings while understanding your behavioral patterns in a nonjudgmental environment. When life becomes challenging, it can be difficult to maintain a sense of community and can sometimes feel lonely and isolating, but you’ve already taken the first step to healing by seeking therapy. You are welcome to take the next step by sending me an email or calling me to schedule a consultation and determine whether we are a good match!

Starting your mental-health journey takes courage and can be an overwhelming experience. Compassion, warmth and non-judgement are at the heart of my approach and I’m here to support you every step of the way. I am committed to helping you develop the skills and strategies you need to live a happier, more fulfilling life. We can discover mind-body tools and strategies which enable you to rediscover purpose, overcome fear and connect more authentically with others. I utilized therapy to help myself overcome my issues and now I can help you overcome yours. I specialize in working with adults who struggle with anxiety, depression, low self-confidence and self-esteem or have trouble navigating challenging dynamics in romantic relationships or within family. As a solution focused therapist, I utilize evidence based techniques to help you identify and overcome negative thought patterns and behaviors. Whether you're going through life transitions or simply seeking personal growth, we can work collaboratively to help you feel confident and empowered. My approach is dynamic and tailored to your specific needs, underscored by an open-minded perspective, genuine empathy and a plan to help you reach your goals and eventually (hopefully) no longer need therapy.
