Therapy for Caregivers in Ottawa

Caring for a loved one, whether it’s a child, partner, parent, or family member with health needs, can be both meaningful and overwhelming. In Ottawa, many caregivers balance full-time jobs, family responsibilities, and caregiving roles, often leaving little time or energy for themselves. Over time, this can lead to exhaustion, guilt, or burnout.

At Tiny Therapy Collective, we provide online therapy for caregivers in Ottawa and across Ontario, creating a supportive space where you can share your experiences, process emotions, and strengthen your well-being.

• Anxiety, depression, or chronic stress

• Feeling overwhelmed by daily responsibilities

• Difficulty balancing caregiving with work or personal life
