Ottawa Institute of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy

Due to COVID-19, most of our services continue to be provided by teletherapy only (telephone or videoconference). However, we are planning on offering optional in-person services for individual therapy in the fall of 2022. If you are currently receiving services at our clinic and would like to resume services in person, please kindly speak to your service provider.

OICBT is located on unceded Algonquin territory. OICBT incorporates holistic care that is client centered, diversity-informed and which integrates biopsychosocial and spiritual determinants of care. At the Intake, Assessment & Treatment level, we inquire from all clients if there are any aspects of their being that are highly important to them that they would like to be integrated into assessment and/or intervention services (including but not limited to identity(ies) related to race, culture, immigration status, gender, sexual orientation, sexual health, age, religion, disability status, employment, relational/family status, spirituality, religion).

Holistic Care includes the expansion of models to account for the fullest totality of a client - a dynamic state of complete physical, mental, spiritual and social well-being that is not simply the absence of illness. Client centered care entails the incorporation of client’s experiences, values, views, and goals in collaborative decision making.

A mental health model of diversity considers how individuals' thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are intertwined with their diverse social environments. This includes the need to adequately address the impact of social determinants of health and experiences of oppression, microaggressions and/or prejudice in the conceptualizations of care for marginalized peoples.

As part of OICBT’s commitment to anti-racism, anti-discrimination, and social justice-based services and recruitment, OICBT actively integrates Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion within their practice. This consists of creating services and collective action that are inclusive and committed to the removal of barriers (whether procedural, visible, invisible, intentional, unintentional) that inhibit participation and/or contribution from underrepresented and/or disproportionately disadvantaged groups.
