About me

Hi, I'm Madeline Manarin. I'm a Registered Psychotherapist based in Ottawa, Ontario.

I provide in-person therapy to folks based in Ottawa, and virtual therapy across Ontario.

I truly believe that relationships can be healing. My practice aims to create a space where you can be seen, understood, respected, and never judged, and that the safety created will itself be therapeutic. If you could hate yourself into a version of you that you loved, you'd have done it by now. Maybe it's time to try something new. I'd be happy to lend you my compassion, safety, and empathy until you can cultivate your own.
