Welcome! |

My name is Rebekka Wallace Roy, and I’m a Registered Social Worker (MSW) and Psychotherapist. I also happen to be a mom and active community member in Old Ottawa South! Over the past 13 years, I've become passionate about mindfulness and mindful parenting and provide a creative, mindful counselling practice for Ottawa's children, families, and individuals. I also facilitate Mindfulness courses (MBSR & Mindfulness@Work) and Mindful Parenting workshops to government, corporate, neighbourhood and educational communities.

I'm afraid that my current caseload is overflowing.
However, please email me at rebekka@bebravebekind.ca if you'd like to chat and see if we'd be a good fit. I hope to open my practice up again to new clients in the fall (2024). I'd love to work with you!

Individual & Family Counselling:
***COVID Update: I have shifted my practice to online video/telephone counselling until further notice). ***
If you or someone in your family is struggling with BIG emotions, feelings of imbalance or reactivity, experiences of anxiety, depression, ADHD or other exceptionalities, or you simply want to create a more mindful and meaningful relationship with yourself or family member, please contact me. I work with parents and children, as well as individuals looking to bring mindfulness, emotional regulation, stress reduction and many practical tools for wellness into their world. I have trained in Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS), CBT, MiCBT, Polyvagal Theory (SSP Protocol), Flash, EMDR, Sex Therapy (University of Guelph), and am a Qualified Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction Teacher (UCSan Diego, School of Medicine)!
Generally, my parent coaching sessions last between 4-6 sessions. However, more sessions may be necessary to address more complex mental health concerns; however, we will lay out your treatment plan after the intake interview. My session fee is $165/hour. My services are covered under many insurance plans (Social Work Counselling / Psychotherapy) and I do provide a sliding scale to those in need.

What is it to be brave, kind & present?
To be braveis to take care of ourselves by creating strong, compassionate boundaries. It takes courage to create a space that attends to our physical, emotional, mental and community needs. And while, it can be scary to put our oxygen mask on first, in doing so, we have the capacity to develop a more compassionate, loving sense of self, family and community.
|
To be kindis to develop non-judgemental, inclusive and loving spaces in our homes, our work spaces and in our hearts. Being kind to others and most importantly, to ourselves ultimately helps us all.
|
To be presentis to turn off the distractions that keep us from having meaningful, authentic interactions with others. To intentionally experience the world around us without judgement of what is good or bad, helps us to notice the sensations and feelings that arise, shift into a space of curiosity, and THEN begin the important process of exploring the possibilities that are available to us!
