Online therapy in Ottawa

Read the profiles, pick a time, and meet online from home.

A government town with long hours and, for many, a long wait to be seen.

Why it matters here

Long hours, long lists

Ottawa runs on demanding schedules, and its therapy waits are no shorter than anywhere else in Ontario. Online, you fit the session into the day rather than the day around it: choose from every therapist working in your language, pick an early or late slot, and meet from home.

About Wefeel

What Wefeel is — and what it isn't

Wefeel is a place to find a therapist and arrange to meet them online. We verify that every therapist listed here is qualified to practise, and we give them a place to be found.

We are not a clinic and we are not a party to your therapy. The session is between you and your therapist, and it belongs to the two of you. What is said in it stays there.

Wefeel is also not a crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, the numbers below will reach someone right now.

What we work with

What brings people here

  • Anxiety and constant low-level dread

    The worry that doesn't attach itself to anything in particular, and doesn't switch off when the day ends.

  • Depression and flatness

    Including the kind that is hard to justify, because on paper nothing is wrong.

  • Burnout and exhaustion

    When the job stopped being difficult and started being impossible, and you kept going anyway.

  • Grief

    After a death — but also after a marriage, a career, a friendship, or a version of yourself.

  • Relationships and family

    Including the arguments that are never really about what they appear to be about.

  • Loneliness

    You can be lonely in the town you grew up in, surrounded by people who have known you for thirty years.

This is not a complete list. If what you're carrying isn't on it, that changes nothing — therapy starts with you, not with a label.

How it works

Three steps

You read the profiles and choose your own therapist. You pick a time from the hours they have open, shown in your own time zone. And you meet by video call, from wherever you are. Each profile shows the fee up front.

You're allowed to go before it gets bad

Most people wait longer than they needed to.

Common questions

Do I need a referral?

No, you arrange directly.

Is the therapist registered in Ontario?

Each profile states where; ask if it matters.

Are there bilingual therapists?

Some work in more than one language — the catalogue filters by language.

Start when you're ready

Read the profiles, take your time, and choose someone yourself. There's no referral to arrange, no list to join, and nobody deciding on your behalf.
