Alexandria Nuttal

Hi, I’m Alexandria (She/Her)— a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) at Fireside Psychotherapy, offering individual therapy to adults across Ontario virtually and in-person in Ottawa.

You might find yourself feeling stuck in relationship patterns, overwhelmed by anxiety, or unsure how to make sense of what you’re experiencing. Reaching out for therapy can feel like a big step, especially when things feel vulnerable or uncertain. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin — just a sense that something matters.

I work with adults exploring identity, connection, and life transitions, including those navigating intimacy and relational challenges. I offer a warm, collaborative, trauma-informed space that is LGBTQ+ affirming, sex-positive, kink-aware, and ENM-affirming — a place where you can explore your identities, relationships, and desires without judgment or pathologization. My work welcomes people in a range of relationship structures, including open, polyamorous, swinging, and other consensually non-monogamous configurations, alongside those navigating monogamy.

Using attachment-based and trauma-informed perspectives, I support clients in understanding relationship patterns, navigating intimacy, and making sense of emotional experiences that may feel overwhelming. Together we can explore connection, vulnerability, and more authentic ways of relating — at a pace that feels right for you.

My continuing education includes training in consensual non-monogamy and integrative sex and couples therapy.

A limited number of sliding scale spots are available for those with financial need. 

You’re welcome to come as you are.

Hi, I’m Sarah (she/her). I work with university students, LGBTQ2S+ folks, former elite athletes, and people navigating anxiety, medical trauma, identity, life transitions, relationship challenges, and changes in health or ability.

You may be reading this because you’re overwhelmed by worry, struggling with identity or self-esteem, facing a major life transition or changes in your health, or feeling disconnected. You may not know exactly what you need, or where to even begin, only that you don’t want to keep feeling this way. I view therapy as an way to reconnect with parts of yourself that may have become difficult to access beneath expectations, coping patterns or difficult experiences. Rather than trying to change who you are, we explore what has shaped you and what you may need now.

I draw from Internal Family Systems-informed, somatic, mindfulness, and existential approaches to help you notice not only what you think, but what you feel and experience in your body. Together, we can develop a more compassionate relationship with yourself and create change that feels genuine and sustainable.

The process of starting therapy can feel daunting, and you don’t have to know exactly where to begin. I’ll meet you where you are, and  I offer complimentary 30-minute consultations to help us decide if we might be a good fit.

You may be 2SLGBTQ+, neurodivergent, or seeking a therapist for trauma, or anger, you may be wondering about safety, wondering who can hold the most hurt parts of you, and allow them to be seen and heard without collapsing your world. You may even wonder if you’ll be judged for how you’ve survived. I understand the hesitation, as Transgender, Mexican, Neurodivergent, Fat therapist, I know how alert people in marginalized communities need to be. I can promise you one thing, and that is that we will go at the pace where safety meets change towards what matters to you.
