What sets us apart

At Changing Tides Therapy, our team is united by one belief: healing happens when people are truly seen, supported, and understood. We’re a group of therapists based in Nepean, Ottawa, who know that life doesn’t move in straight lines. Some days feel steady, some days chaotic, and sometimes the tide pulls you under before it pushes you forward again. Our role is to walk alongside you through all of it — with care, curiosity, and the right tools for your journey.

Our therapists bring diverse skills and specialties, but we share a common commitment: to provide trauma-informed, inclusive, and compassionate therapy in Nepean. We support individuals, couples, and families with a wide range of concerns, including grief therapy in Nepean, anxiety therapy in Nepean, depression support, relationship and couples counselling, ADHD support, eating disorder therapy, intimate partner violence support, trauma recovery, and life transitions counselling. Whatever your situation, our goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can show up as your full self.

What sets our team apart is how we work together. Behind the scenes, we consult, collaborate, and share knowledge so that no one carries the weight of this work alone. That teamwork ensures every client benefits from the collective wisdom of therapists who genuinely care about each other and the Nepean community we serve.

We also believe therapy should feel accessible and human, not clinical or distant. That’s why we offer in-person sessions right here in Nepean, alongside online therapy options across Ontario. Our practice is built to adapt — to your needs, your pace, and your story.

At Changing Tides Therapy, we don’t just focus on reducing symptoms. We focus on helping people in Nepean build resilience, heal from the past, and discover new possibilities for growth. Whether you’re navigating everyday challenges or seeking specialized support, our team is here to provide compassionate, professional therapy in Nepean that meets you where you are and helps you move forward.
