Heidi

Ms Heidi Nichilo

Registered Social Worker

I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy to support healing, resilience, and personal growth. Whether you're navigating anxiety, trauma, or life transitions, I offer a safe, client-centered space to help you gain clarity, develop coping skills, and create meaningful change.

About Me

I work alongside you to process challenging emotions and build lasting resilience. Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, past trauma, or big life changes? I offer practical strategies to help you navigate these experiences. Our sessions provide a safe space to explore patterns and gain new perspectives. You'll develop tools for daily life. Clients find my approach helps them move from confusion to confident action, fostering genuine growth.

Approach

We pay attention to the moments you notice—when anxiety spikes, memories resurface, or decisions feel impossible—and use those moments to guide each session's focus. Sessions in Ottawa or online, conducted in English, are steady and collaborative, paced to your tolerance with clear steps and gentle experiments between meetings. I combine grounding practices, story work and practical problem-solving so insights translate into everyday actions. This approach tends to help adults facing relationship shifts, parenting strain or the aftermath of trauma move toward clearer choices and steadier days.
