Robertson Therapy & Counselling

Offering psychotherapy services to the Ottawa and surrounding area. Virtual and in-person appointments available. Book online today

Our therapists are Mandie Robertson and Kyli Robertson. We focus on treating a number of mental health concerns including, but not limited to, trauma, depression, stress, anxiety, career issues, self-esteem, grief, couples and relationship struggles, parenting, and perinatal issues. We also offer services tailored to meet the needs of new parents. We hope to allow individuals experiencing difficulties in the pre/post natal stages (i.e. anxiety about pregnancy/parenthood, postpartum depression, relationship difficulties) to access support. Through a client-centred approach, we support our clients in identifying and working through their challenges. Our office is conveniently located at the south end of Merivale Road. Fully accessible with ample free parking available on site. We understand that making the choice to engage in counselling can be intimidating. We welcome any questions you may have regarding our services and the counselling process.

“Do I need a clear goal to start therapy?”
The short answer? No.

Some people begin therapy with something specific in mind — reducing anxiety, navigating a life change, improving communication, or working through burnout.

Others start with something less defined:
“I don’t feel like myself.”
“I’m overwhelmed.”
“Something just feels off.”

If you’re unsure where to start, try asking yourself:
• What feels hardest right now?
• What would I like to feel differently about?
• What do I want more (or less) of?

Therapy can help you uncover what your goals are along the way. You don’t need all the answers — just the courage to take the first step.

Read the full blog to explore both sides and decide what feels right for you. ✨

New year, fresh goals but why do so many of us give up shortly after setting them?

Making real change comes by creating goals that are:

✨ Identity-based (instead of “I want to lose weight”, try “ I am someone that values exercise”

✨Smaller than necessary (instead of “I’m going to drink 2L of water” start with one glass and increase as you go)

✨Habit stacked with existing routines (after brushing your teeth➡️read one page of a book)

✨Focused on the system and not the outcome (goals give direction but systems create results!)

Focus on who you’re becoming, start small, and build consistent habits into ✨your✨ life (not the other way around).

The winter season can quietly push us to keep hustling, even when our bodies are asking for rest.

This is your reminder to slow down.
Pause when you can.
Get some fresh air.
And rest without guilt.

Rest is not a reward.
It’s a need.

Grief changes us and there is no timeline or “right way” to adjust to it. Learning to live after loss (of a loved one, a relationship, a job, a dream, etc.) takes time and the right support.

Read more about coping and healing after loss in our recent blog (link in bio).

If you’re navigating life after loss and need support, we are here to help 🤍

👉 Book a confidential session with one of our experienced therapists at Robertson Therapy today.

For some, the holidays are twinkling lights and excitement. For others, it brings stress, overwhelm, loneliness, and a heavy sadness that’s hard to explain.

If you’re feeling the pressure to be cheerful and present or to pretend everything is fine—you’re not alone.

So here’s your gentle reminder:
💛 You’re allowed to have boundaries.
💛 You’re allowed to slow down.
💛 Your emotions (all of them) are valid.
💛 You’re allowed to say no.
💛 You’re allowed to take care of your first.

If this season feels heavy, please remember that reaching out for support—whether from a friend, partner, community space, or therapist—is not weakness. It’s self care.

We are accepting new clients, reach out to us to book with one of our experienced therapists.

⛓️‍💥Breaking the Stigma of Therapy ⛓️‍💥

Therapy has carried around damaging stigmas for many years and it’s time to set the record straight:

💡 Therapy isn’t weakness – asking for support shows courage.
💡 It’s not just for crises – therapy helps with stress, relationships & personal growth.
💡 Mental health = health – just as important as physical well-being.

How we can break the stigma:

👥 Talk openly about mental health
💞 Show compassion and empathy
📖 Share stories of healing
📚 Educate and raise awareness

Read more about the stigma of therapy on our recent blog: https://robertsontherapy.ca/breaking-the-stigma-of-therapy/
