Psychotherapy in Ottawa
JCT is a Canadian owned and operated mental health practice in Ontario, Canada that prioritizes personalized, high-quality mental health care.
Mental health is deeply personal and cannot be treated as a commodity. The journeys are all unique, at JCT we recognize this.
“The therapeutic relationship is like no other relationship in your life.”
If your personal or professional world is unsettling, it’s time to connect with a professional so you can begin to thrive and not just survive. Our commitment to you is guidance from clinicians with the highest degree of professional and ethical practice.

Founder’s Commitment
Julie’s commitment is deeply rooted in creating a healing space that goes beyond just clinical work—she’s focused on the human aspect of therapy. With 20 years of practice, it’s clear that her approach, centred around ethical practice, mentoring, and somatic psychotherapy, has been proven to be effective in helping people.
Fostering meaningful relationships and prioritizing a safe, empathetic environment creates a foundation of trust and support, which is essential for real healing and growth.
Our Heart-led Values
Homegrown and Local
Julie’s practice has been established and locally owned since 2006, offering a deep understanding of a broad spectrum of regional challenges in the Ottawa and Ottawa Valley regions.
Research-Driven Approach
Encouraging informed decisions and staying current with evidence-based mental health practices.
Not a Business
Julie believes when mental health is approached from a transactional or profit-driven perspective, the core values of care, compassion, and genuine support are lost. You deserve better.
Commitment to Care
Each person’s journey is treated with the respect and attention it deserves. Commodifying mental health risks reducing this vital service to a transaction rather than a meaningful, human-centred process of healing and growth.
Transparent Fees
Session fees are based on qualifications, with a caution against equating cost to experience.
Integrative Services
The approach supports personal growth alongside mental health development.
Clinician Self-Care
Clinicians commit to their own personal growth to better support clients.

We believe we all should be looking after our mental health – on both the good and the bad days.
At JCT, we work with youth and adults, helping them with a wide range of difficulties, in an informal, dynamic, and collaborative way, bringing clinical experience to support them as the expert in their own life.
We are a warm and diverse group of professionals registered with relevant governing and accrediting bodies like the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, College of Nurses and the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers, all tasked with helping you feel more yourself.
