About Me

Mitra Rahimpour

PhD., M.Cog.Sci., M.A., RP, CCC

Confidential and professional counselling and psychotherapy services. My goal is to help you, in a non-judgemental and supportive environment, have a clearer sense of the direction you want for your life. I assist individuals, couples and families to understand and explore issues associated with communication, blended/step-families, trauma (including childhood sexual trauma), post traumatic stress, depression, anxiety and/or anger. I have years of experience dealing with a range of issues including, divorce, marital and family conflict, demographic specific issues such as mental health issues specific to refugees, immigrants, and women. I am an associate candidate with the Centre for Treatment of Sexual Abuse and Childhood Trauma.

I understand everyone is unique and there is not an all encompassing therapeutic solution. I apply my vast experience and knowledge of different therapy approaches to meet your objectives. Upon request, I can integrate different spirituality orientations and ethnic backgrounds in my approach. Offices in Ottawa (Centre for Treatment of Sexual Abuse and Childhood Trauma) and Manotick.

I combine my PhD. in Neuroscience, Master’s degree in Cognitive Science ,and Master’s degree in Counselling to get a better understanding of individuals’ cognition and emotional and psychological dimensions and needs.
