Group therapy and workshops are extremely therapeutic and educational techniques that occur in a safe space with others who understand similar issues. They are also an opportunity to develop both communication and socialization skills by finding your voice in an unfiltered manner.
Group therapy can be effective, but it is not for every situation. There are times when individual therapy is the better option, and sometimes clients find it advantageous to do both. We welcome discussing your individual needs and preferences to find the best path to achieve your most authentic life by offering No Charge Consultations with our providers.
EMC Ottawa thoroughly enjoys opening our doors to new, old, and existing clients to experience different types of therapy and helping clients become more educated in mental health.

During the 2024 summer we will be continuing our weekly women's group on Wednesday evenings and have added a weekly Girls group on Tuesday mornings.
The focus for this weekly girls group is to help ages 11-14 understand the unique feelings and changes that are occurring in their lives. It is a safe and confidential place, for them to talk through issues and learn the best ways to manage, cope and set boundaries. Topics will include: forming/maintaining friendships, developing healthy coping skills, effective problem solving and communication skills, body image issues/healthy eating, creating and maintaining healthy boundaries, plus many more that come up with the group.
Group Leader: Vickie White, LSW
Starts June 11, 2024 and is tentatively scheduled for 7 weeks (excluding holiday/vacation).
