About Us

~
Anne_Ritzema_smallresolution_crop.jpg
Lighthouse Child & Adolescent Psychology was founded in 2018 by Dr. Anne Ritzema, C. Psych. with the vision of helping families in the Ottawa region participate fully at home, at school, and in their communities. As parents ourselves and as family members of people with disabilities, we at Lighthouse Psychology understand how stressful it can be when your loved one needs psychological services. That's why we provide a respectful and family-centered environment that is welcoming for children, teens, and parents.

We demonstrate our commitment through compassionate, evidence-based assessments and therapy provided by a registered psychologist. Click the button below to learn more about us, our vision, and our story.
