Hello, I’m Dr. Tripti Jaiswal, a clinical psychologist with a deep passion for supporting adults through life’s challenges toward greater ease, balance, and well-being. Whether you are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety or stress, navigating the complexities of trauma, or simply longing to feel more grounded and present in your life, I am here to offer a space where you can feel truly heard, understood, and supported.

I believe that therapy works best when it feels like a collaboration — a safe, respectful relationship where we explore not only the struggles that bring you here, but also the strengths, values, and hopes that can guide your healing. My approach is integrative, weaving together evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and mindfulness-based techniques. With each person I work with, I tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs — because I know that no two journeys are alike.

My work is informed by both clinical psychology and positive psychology, grounded in science yet centered on compassion. I hold a Ph.D. from Panjab University in India, and I am honored to bring a multicultural lens to my practice. For many clients — especially those living between cultures, juggling personal and professional demands, or seeking a sense of belonging — I offer an approach that respects complexity and celebrates resilience.

In addition to my clinical work, my experience spans roles as a private practice psychologist, assistant professor, corporate research analyst, and volunteer mental health provider during the COVID-19 pandemic in India. These diverse experiences have deepened my understanding of the many ways people suffer — and the many ways they heal.

I am fluent in both English and Hindi, which allows me to offer therapy in the language that feels most natural and comfortable for you.

If you are ready to take the next step toward healing, clarity, and self-discovery, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Together, we can create the space for meaningful change and build the tools you need to move forward with strength and confidence.

Dr. Tripti Jaiswal is practicing under the supervision of Dr. Kimberly Sogge, C.Psych., Founder and Lead Doctoral-level Clinician at Ottawa River Integrative Mental Health.

Meet Randy Stevens, RP (Qualifying) Psychotherapist (Supervised Practice) Supervised by Senior Clinician David Hesidence, MS, RP

I believe that healing happens when we feel genuinely seen, heard, and respected. As someone who has walked my own recovery journey, I know firsthand the strength it takes to face life’s challenges — and the courage it takes to reach out for support. My passion as a therapist is to stand alongside you as you navigate your own path toward well-being, resilience, and self-leadership.

In my work, I bring not only professional training but also the wisdom that comes from lived experience. Whether you are struggling with addiction, anxiety, depression, or the weight of perfectionism and performance pressure, I understand the terrain because I’ve been there too. As the father of an elite-level athlete, I also understand the unique demands and emotional challenges that can come with high performance, leadership roles, and managing expectations — both internal and external.

My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), with additional inspiration from Buddhist psychology and mindfulness-based methods. These approaches help us work together to create space between you and the struggles that may feel like they define you — so you can reconnect with the deeper values, strengths, and clarity that have always been part of who you are.

I recognize that no two people walk the same path. That’s why I tailor our work to your individual story, offering a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can explore the patterns that keep you stuck and build the tools you need for long-term growth and freedom.

It takes real strength to show up for yourself in this way. If you’re ready to begin, I would be honored to walk alongside you.

Psychometrist & Registered Psychotherapist; Specialist in Psychological Assessment, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy, Compassion Focused Therapy and work with the LGBTQ2s+ community.

My work with clients ages 16-65 involves helping them to discover their psychological needs and strengths, and helping them reconnect with who they want to be so that they can make progress on the path to the life they want.

I understand how challenging it can be to feel disconnected from the person we want to be. Together, we will work through uncomfortable thoughts and emotions, and overcome unhelpful behaviours by learning new ways to relate to our suffering and care for ourselves.

Meet Alison Patrick, MSW, RSW Psychotherapist | Clinical Social Worker

I believe that healing happens in the presence of respect, authenticity, and compassion. Whether you are navigating grief, loss, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply longing to reconnect with your sense of self, I offer a calm, steady space where all parts of your experience are welcome.

In my work, I am here to support your journey toward self-leadership — the ability to meet life’s joys and sorrows with clarity, strength, and care for both yourself and the web of relationships that surround you. I believe that therapy offers the possibility of not just surviving life’s hardest moments, but also living with greater freedom, choice, and self-trust.

Over the past several decades, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside individuals and families in many stages of life and loss — including work in child protection, adoption services, and women’s health. One of the most formative experiences of my career was my time at the Morgentaler Clinics in Ottawa and Edmonton, where I supported people in making deeply personal decisions about pregnancy and reproductive health. I also bring specialized training in hospice and end-of-life care, with a focus on supporting individuals who are dying and their loved ones through the profound transitions of that journey.

My approach is grounded in Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, a gentle and powerful way of working with the inner system of “parts” that we all carry — the protective parts, the wounded parts, and the wise, compassionate Self that can hold them all with care. I am actively involved in the IFS Ottawa professional community and continue my training and consultation in this model with IFS lead trainer Dr. Risa Adams.

It would be my privilege to accompany you as you navigate whatever season of life you find yourself in — whether that means tending to grief, healing relational wounds, or stepping more fully into the life you long to live. If you feel ready to begin, I look forward to connecting with you.

Sometimes life can be challenging; sometimes those challenges can be overwhelming. Entering therapy is a critical step to regaining control and directing your life back onto your chosen path. I provide my clients with a safe and non-judgemental space to examine their lives, and start on the journey back to a healthier, more satisfactory way of living. This is a collaborative effort; my job is not to tell you what to do, but to help guide the discovery of what will work best for you.

I provide counselling and psychotherapy for adults and couples experiencing psychological, emotional, and relationship distress. Common difficulties are anxiety, depression, stress, communication problems, grief and loss, trauma, and existential issues regarding creating meaning in one’s life. These issues can cause impairment at work, school, and in our day-to-day interactions with other people, or make you feel “stuck” and unable to move your life forward in a way that is authentic, healthy, and congruent with your values. I am comfortable working with people of diverse ethnic, racial, and religious backgrounds, as well as people in the LGBTQQ2SIA+ community. My experience includes assessment and treatment in hospital inpatient as well as outpatient populations, community mental health, and private practice. I have experience with psychodiagnostic assessment, sex and couples therapy, group therapy, and individual therapy for anxiety, depression, and personality disorders, and trauma therapy for members of the RCMP and Canadian Armed Forces. I take an integrative approach to therapy, and my therapeutic modalities include cognitive-behavioural (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), acceptance & commitment therapy (ACT), psychodynamic, and existential/humanistic. When working with couples, I focus of issues of emotional connection and communication, and my treatment approach is informed by the research of John Gottman. As therapy progresses, we will check in together to ensure our approach is working and modify if necessary. I am currently providing services at Ottawa River Integrated Mental Health under the supervision of Dr. Paul Grunberg, C. Psych., and Dr. Kimberly Sogge, C. Psych.

Hello, I’m Dr. Olga Gale. I’m a Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Neuropsychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario — but more importantly, I’m someone who cares deeply about the people I work with and the stories they carry.

I know that reaching out for support can feel vulnerable. Whether you are navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, health challenges, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck, I believe that healing begins when we feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My role is to offer a space where you can show up as you are — without judgment — and where together, we can explore what you need to feel more whole, more grounded, and more connected to the life you want to live.

My training has taken me from York University in Toronto to the Adler School of Professional Psychology in Chicago, where I earned my Master’s and Doctor of Psychology degrees. I completed an APA-accredited internship at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center and a postdoctoral fellowship at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Washington, D.C., followed by additional psychotherapy training at the Alanson White Institute in New York City. I am also listed with the National Register of Health Care Providers in Psychology.

Over the past decade, I’ve supported clients through both therapy and comprehensive assessments, including psychological and neuropsychological evaluations. In therapy, I work with individuals and couples using an integrative approach informed by humanistic and psychodynamic principles — meaning I focus on the whole person, not just the problem. Every person’s experience is different, so I tailor my work to meet your unique needs, drawing on evidence-based practices with warmth, curiosity, and compassion.

My greatest hope is that through our work together, you will feel empowered to meet life’s challenges with greater clarity, self-kindness, and resilience. If you feel ready to begin this process, I would be honored to support you on your journey.

I know that reaching out for support takes courage. My intention is to offer a safe, respectful space where you can feel seen, heard, and accepted just as you are — while also being gently supported toward the changes you long for.

My approach to therapy is rooted in evidence-based, compassion-focused practices. I draw from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), weaving these together in a way that honors your unique experiences, values, and goals. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, low mood, self-criticism, body image concerns, relationship difficulties, or life transitions, my focus is on supporting you in building a kinder relationship with yourself and with the world around you.

I also provide psychological assessments to help bring clarity and understanding to the challenges you may be facing.

I hold a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from McGill University and have clinical experience across private practice, college mental health, and university counselling settings.
