Almarine Thomas, RP

I'm Almarine Thomas, a Registered Psychotherapist with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and teens through trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship challenges. My approach is both evidence-based and deeply personal. I draw from CBT, DBT, TF-CBT, EFT, EMDR, and solution-focused and attachment-based approaches to build a plan that fits your goals, values, and pace. I'm curious about what's underneath the surface, and I'll often ask you to slow things down so we can really unpack what's going on.

Whether you're carrying wounds from the past, navigating a difficult relationship, or feeling stuck in patterns you can't quite name, you don't have to face it alone. I work with clients who prefer a completely non-religious approach, and with those who want their Christian faith woven into the work. You decide what's included. Therapy here is shaped around your values, not the other way around.

I believe healing happens when you feel genuinely safe and understood. My sessions are collaborative and goal-focused, with practical tools you can use in daily life alongside deeper insight work. I also offer psychiatric consultation, clinical supervision, and workshops for those who need something beyond ongoing therapy.

I see clients in person in Ottawa and online or by phone across Ontario and Quebec. If you're wondering whether this might be a good fit, I'd love to connect for a free 15-minute consultation.
