Hi, I’m Brittany Fletcher I’m bisexual and use she/her pronouns. I am licensed with CRPO as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Ottawa, Ontario and hold a professional membership with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. I hold a Master degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and am in my second year working in the field. During my practice I have worked with teens and adults on relationship concerns, anxiety, depression, trauma, and personal growth to name a few. I use a Person-Centred approach to my session to meet my client where they’re at and create a safe, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationshhttps://www.feelingbetter.ca/our-team/brittany-fletcherip. I am also trained in Gottman Couples Therapy. I hold a safe space for ethically non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships, and I am kink, sex, and sex work positive. As a member of the LGBTQIA+ community I understand the unique challenges and oppression members of our community face and hold a safe and affirming space to explore each individual’s experiences.

I have over 20 years of experience working with adolescents and their families and adults with major mental health challenges. My journey in the mental health field began when I attended University of Calicut (India) for bachelor’s in nursing. Recognizing my passion for mental health, I pursued my studies in Psychology and obtained my master’s degree in Psychology at the University of Annamalai in India. Since then, I moved to Toronto where I kick-started my career as an individual and family therapist at East Metro Youth Services (EMYS). After several years at EMYS, I moved into various managerial roles ranging from clinical supervisor, clinical manager, and eventually a clinical director at Youthdale Treatment Centers in Toronto. In addition to my work at EMYS and Youthdale, I have worked in the adult inpatient psychiatry/eating disorders unit at University Health Network and inpatient psychiatry unit at Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto. My diverse work experience fostered my passion in suicide prevention and promotion of mental health services in diverse communities. As such, I have been involved in various provincial and national level organizations such as the Mental Health Commission of Canada (advisory council member-2013-2019) and the Canadian Association for Suicide Prevention (Board Director 2017-2023). I have been involved in a few CAMH research projects focusing on culturally adapting CBT for East and South Asian populations. My approach: I use a strength -based, trauma informed, client centred and culturally sensitive approach. Therapy is tailored to the unique needs, strengths and circumstances of individual clients. I believe that everyone has their own inherent capabilities and strengths. I work collaboratively with individuals to use their own inner strengths for enhancing their functioning, optimizing their hope and reaching their goals. I primarily use CBT & DBT strategies; however, I incorporate various other therapeutic models and techniques (such as ACT, solution focused, brief, narrative and family therapy) as relevant to the needs of the individuals. A good therapeutic relationship is essential for the success of therapy. Building and maintaining a trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients is a focus throughout the therapeutic process. Some of the common mental health challenges that I have mostly worked with include generalized anxiety disorder, phobias, panic disorder, depression, suicidality, borderline personality disorder, trauma, eating disorders, school/ work related problems and relational challenges.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) who has experience working with those with anxiety, depression, substance use, trauma, relationship issues, and concurrent disorders, I am passionate about providing person-centred care and compassion to those on their journey towards healing and self growth. As an LGBTQ+ identifying therapist, I strive to always provide affirming care in a safe and non judgemental environment. My therapeutic approach is integrative, and I use and draw from a variety of approaches and modalities in my work. These include Narrative Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT). I am highly collaborative and will work with you to empower you towards your goals. I first and foremost believe that you are the expert on yourself, and will meet you where you are at. If you think we are a good match or have any questions, please feel free to reach out. I look forward to supporting you on your journey!

I'm Jackson AINE. I believe that everyone is born to fulfill a mission in life. Mine is to assist others in their sufferings (psychological and spiritual). It was this vision that led me to study at the School of Psychotherapy, Counselling and Spirituality. I have hope for a better world with a culture of love, peace and fraternity that will give birth to beautiful and caring human relationships. In my practice, I use the person-centered approach where my clients feel welcomed, safe, without judging, with love, caring, and an unconditional positive outlook. I also integrate the cognitive-behavioural approach, which is a client-centred approach: their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. People learn how to change their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours using proven techniques to help achieve specific goals. For group therapy, I work with the systemic-interactional approach to facilitate communication between the person and his or her entourage or family members. It also helps to modify relationships, to have a healthier and more harmonious relationship life between the person and his or her entourage. With Afro-descendant clients, I use the Africentric approach which is an Africentric perspective of therapy and therapeutic techniques. This innovative approach provides an understanding of Black clients in mental health care. She helps these clients understand themselves and recover from their racial trauma. Je suis Jackson Ainé. Je crois que chacun est né pour accomplir une mission dans la vie. La mienne c'est d'accompagner les autres dans leurs souffrances (psychologiques et spirituelles). C'est cette vision-là qui m'a amené à faire mes études à l'École de Psychothérapie, Counselling et Spiritualité. J'ai l'espoir en un monde meilleur avec une culture d'amour, de paix et de fraternité qui donnera naissance à de belles relations humaines bienveillantes. Dans ma pratique, j'utilise l'approche centrée sur la personne où mes clients se sentent accueillir en toute sécurité, sans jugement, avec amour, bienveillance, et un regard positif inconditionnel. J'intègre aussi l'approche cognitivo- comportementale qui est une démarche centrée sur le client: ses pensées, ses émotions et ses comportements. Les personnes apprennent comment modifier leurs pensées, leurs émotions et leurs comportements en ayant recours à des techniques déjà éprouvées pour aider à atteindre des objectifs précis. Pour la thérapie de groupe, je travaille avec l’approche systémique-interactionnelle pour faciliter la communication entre la personne et son entourage ou les membres de la famille. Elle aide aussi à modifier les relations à avoir une vie relationnelle plus saine et harmonieuse entre la personne et son entourage. Avec la clientèle afro-descendante, j’utilise l’approche africentrique qui est perspective africentrique de la thérapie et des techniques thérapeutiques. Cette approche innovante permet de comprendre les clients Noirs dans les soins de santé mentale. Elle aide cette clientèle a se comprendre et se remettre de ses traumatismes raciaux.

Embarking on the journey of self-discovery is, in my view, one of the most courageous endeavors an individual can undertake. Through a rich tapestry of experiences garnered during my studies, work, and volunteer engagements in diverse settings such as Iran, Turkey, and here in Canada, I have cultivated a profound understanding of my own narrative. These varied experiences have not only enriched my personal growth but have also significantly contributed to my professional education. In my capacity as a psychotherapist, I have had the privilege of working cross-culturally with a diverse clientele, addressing an array of issues encompassing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, relationship complexities, personality disorders, life transitions, and a spectrum of psychological challenges. This expansive journey has not only broadened my cultural competence but has also shaped my therapeutic approach to be inclusive, compassionate, and tailored to the unique needs of each individual. I view therapy as an intimate conversation—a shared space where individuals can explore the intricate facets of their lives.
