Who are we

At Serene Woods Psychotherapy, we are a compassionate, client‑focused psychotherapy practice dedicated to supporting you on your journey toward healing, resilience, and meaningful change. We believe therapy is a collaborative process rooted in trust, safety, and genuine human connection — and we are here to walk alongside you every step of the way.

Our team provides a safe, non‑judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, voice your concerns, and work toward your personal goals with dignity and respect. Whether you choose in‑person or virtual sessions, we offer flexible support tailored to your unique needs.

We know that reaching out for support is a courageous first step — and we’re honoured to be part of your journey toward greater well‑being, self‑understanding, and lasting positive change.

Whatever you're building within, we're here to help you take the first step with confidence.

  • We’re located in two convenient offices in the Ottawa area:

    • Kanata: 99 Kakulu Rd, Suite 213, Kanata, ON (near Terry Fox & Eagleson)
    • Ottawa: 11 Rosemount Ave, Suite 302, Ottawa, ON K1Y 4R8 (across from Rosemount Public Library)

    Both locations are by appointment only and have free parking available right at the building.

    When you arrive, make yourself at home — help yourself to tea, coffee, or slippers, and enjoy the welcoming, comfortable spaces we’ve created that delight kids and adults alike. Many clients have told us they’d happily take a nap in our waiting area! You’re also welcome to do a colouring meditation, read a book, or simply relax and soak in the atmosphere before your session.

  • We support a wide range of people at every stage of life — from young children to adults, couples, and families. Whether you’re navigating big life changes, processing difficult experiences, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, we’re here to walk alongside you.

    We work with individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship and parenting challenges, and much more. Our approach is tailored to your unique needs, so you feel truly heard, respected, and supported from the very first session.

    We welcome people from all backgrounds, experiences, and walks of life — and we’ll help you find the right fit for your journey. If a different approach or referral would better serve you, we’ll support you in making that connection too.

  • At our practice, we believe that therapy works best when it’s personalized, collaborative, and compassionate. We take the time to get to know you, your story, and your goals, so that each session feels meaningful and relevant to your life.

    Our approach blends evidence-based techniques with a warm, flexible style that meets you where you are. We draw on a variety of modalities to support emotional growth, healing, and resilience — from coping with stress and anxiety to processing trauma and strengthening relationships.

    We also focus on creating a safe, welcoming environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. Whether you’re a child, teen, adult, or part of a family or couple, we aim to make therapy engaging, supportive, and empowering.

    Ultimately, our goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and equipped with the tools and insights you need to thrive in your everyday life.

  • Our team is made up of dedicated, compassionate professionals who are passionate about supporting individuals, couples, and families on their journeys. Each team member brings their own expertise, experience, and approach, allowing us to provide personalized care tailored to your unique needs.

    We are trained in a variety of evidence-based therapies and are committed to creating a safe, welcoming space where clients of all ages feel heard and valued. From children and teens to adults and families, our team works collaboratively to help you grow, heal, and thrive.

    Beyond our professional skills, we believe in the power of empathy, creativity, and connection. When you meet our team, you’ll notice the warmth, care, and dedication that make our practice feel like a supportive community — not just a therapy office.

Supportive therapeutic counselling for individuals - feels like walking in a natural setting

Improving life with therapy

Learn something new

Begin exploring your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours within deep conversations that guide and support you.

Say the things you always wanted to say

It’s been hard to tell your story or maybe you never have. Give yourself the place to let it out and learn how to feel vulnerable in a safe place.

Target issues or events

Come to therapy with a specific idea, topic, or event you want to process. You can also collaboratively work with your therapist to determine targets.

Be safe to discover yourself and the life you want

There is no judgment here. You can discuss and contemplate what you need to help discover your sense of Self and find support.
