Frances Fitzgibbon, M.A., RP
In-person and Virtual Sessions
Frances is a Psychotherapist helping clients to grow through building resilience, navigating change and learning new skills. She works with general mental health and has a keen focus on helping those dealing with anxiety, trauma, identity, mood disorders, personality issues and relationship crises. If you are feeling misunderstood, or locked in a space where you just feel stuck, she can help with this.
Frances runs a practice free from shame or judgement; a therapeutic experience to explore the complexities of you. It’s a respectful environment for people of diverse cultures, sexual orientations and identities.
She is also one of the few psychotherapists in Canada certified in Reconsolidation Therapy, a ground-breaking process for the relief of PTSD and trauma symptoms.
Whether you are keen to explore your ‘self’ and life path (who am I and how do I fit in this world?), self-esteem issues, or problems with motivation and fear; the approach she takes is tailored to your exact needs and personality. In her couples’ work, she treats issues arising with conflict, attachment, sexual functioning, infidelity and intimacy challenges. She works with clients who also have diverse relationship situations such as same-sex and polyamory in addition to traditional coupling. All are welcome, all are respected.
Frances holds a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology, and is a member in good standing of the College of Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and the Ontario Society of Registered Psychotherapists (OSRP).
She is a registered provider of Blue Cross for Veterans and Canadian Armed Forces. She provides therapy in Ottawa, other Canadian provinces and the UK.
