The Glebe Institute and associates are a community of counsellors and family therapists in Ottawa who specialize in constructive, collaborative and strength-based approaches to counselling and therapy. We are committed to building collaborative partnerships, fostering mutual respect and hopeful curiosity, enhancing competence and connection, and advocating just relationships and healthy communities. Our practice is inclusive and client-centred, and sensitive to culture, gender and spirituality.
In addition to our training and supervision services, we offer individual, couple, family and group therapy, as well as therapy and mindfulness training, and workplace consultation. This website offers a range of information about our programs, resources for counsellors and therapists, as well as links to sites associated with collaborative therapeutic practice. We are always reinventing ourselves and so is this site--so certain areas are, as they say, "under construction". Don't be distressed if you find some missing information or possibly even some misinformation. Contact us by e-mailing us at theglebeinstitute@gmail.com if you have suggestions or questions regarding the information here.
