First Responders

You show up when others are in crisis - making split-second decisions, managing chaos, and carrying stories most people never see. Over time, that weight can build up. Even the strongest among us need space to pause, process, and heal.

At Four Wings Psychology, we offer specialized therapy for first responders in the Ottawa area and virtually across Ontario. Whether you work in law enforcement, fire services, EMS, healthcare, or corrections, our team provides confidential, non-judgmental support designed for the realities of frontline work.

Trust is earned, not assumed - especially for those who spend their careers protecting others. Our approach to therapy is grounded in confidentiality, respect, and cultural understanding of the first responder community.

We provide:

• Trauma-informed, evidence-based care that honors your lived experience
• Proven approaches like Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), CBT, and EMDR
• Support for trauma-related stress, operational injuries, and moral distress
• Practical tools to reduce hypervigilance, improve sleep, and regulate emotions
• Space to explore identity and purpose beyond the uniform

Whether you’re actively serving or retired, facing burnout or just needing a space to breathe - we’re here to help you decompress, recalibrate, and reconnect.

You don’t have to push through alone. Therapy can help you process what you’ve seen, manage stress, and rebuild the parts of life that may have been put on hold.

At Four Wings Psychology, we provide compassionate, confidential care for the people who care for everyone else - helping you reconnect with yourself, your work, and the people who matter most.
