Counselling Group
Capital Choice Counselling is an established counselling group in Ottawa, Kanata, Orleans, Nepean, Ottawa South, Barrhaven, Riverside South, Stittsville. Utilizing a network of over 40 Registered Psychotherapists, Psychologists, Social Workers, and counsellors Capital Choice Counselling is able to serve you better by connecting you with the right counsellor who works for you.
The organization was founded in 2006, by Dr. Martin Rovers and his wife Elizabeth. Martin is a psychologist and retired professor of St. Paul University and lectures in such areas as family systems theory, couples therapy, and existential issues in counselling.
He is a prolific writer on many topics in counselling. He has written numerous books in the area of relationship counselling. His book Healing the Wounds in Couple Relationships, leads couples through the journey of creating better connections within the relationship. Dr. Rovers and his support staff personally work with every new client to ensure that they are paired with their ideal counsellor.
When you call Capital Choice Counselling, you are not calling an automated system. You will talk to a human being who will help you find a therapist that works for you. We have grown to serve all of Ottawa and the surrounding area. We have offices in Nepean, Kanata, Orleans, Gloucester, Carleton Place and everywhere in between. We also offer our services online. And best of all, these offices are all accessible through one phone number or email contact. Our goal is to provide a better, more accessible counselling service for Ottawa.
Capital Choice Counselling is committed to diversity, equity and inclusion. We recognize the oppression faced by BIPOC, 2SLGBTQ+ and other marginalized communities, as well as the history of discrimination in the mental health care system. We aim to offer culturally competent and trauma-informed services. To this end, we engage therapists who bring to our team a diversity of lived experience, clinical experience, education and training. We are additionally committed to offering disability-affirmative and neurodiversity-affirming therapy. We understand that equality, social justice and accountability for past harms requires ongoing work and reflection, and we welcome feedback from our clients so that we may continue to grow.
We have counsellors who specialize in individual counselling, marriage and relationship counselling, family counselling and workplace counselling. Each of our counsellors is trained in a variety of therapy methods, and is able to blend these methods to prepare a customized treatment plan for you. We’re here to help.
