Starting therapy in Ottawa can feel like a big step, and it’s completely normal to have questions before you reach out. Uncertainty about what to expect, whether a therapist will judge you, or what you’ll even say in a first session, these are the kinds of things we hear all the time. At Resiliency Clinic, we work with a range of evidence-based approaches and our focus is always on meeting you where you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are reasonable things to wonder. And they are exactly the kinds of questions we want to address before you arrive. At Resiliency Clinic, we focus on meeting the client where they are. We work with adults across Ottawa and virtually throughout Ontario and Quebec. Whether you are navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, or something harder to name, here is what you can genuinely expect when you start working with us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To get started, you can reach out via our booking form<\/a>. If you need help selecting a therapist, we are happy to help. Michelle Sorensen, registered clinical psychologist and founder of Resiliency Clinic, personally reviews every new client request<\/a> and the notes you include, and uses that information to match you with the therapist best suited to your needs and goals. We also offer a free 15-minute consultation if you would like to get a sense of fit before committing to a full session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you are connected to your therapist, you will receive detailed information on how to find us, the parking (it’s free!), and the setup of the clinic. We love our space and most people find it very soothing and inviting. These are not the cold therapy offices you see in some movies and shows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"Clinique](\"https:\/\/resiliencyclinic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Resiliency-Clinic-Ottawa-Therapy-for-inidviduals-Virtual-1024x684.jpg\" "\\"\\"")
