Centre for Executive and Professional Recovery & Renewal

Ottawa Professionals in Distress Program

Serving the needs of professionals, Executives, Corporate Human resource Management, Legal counsel and Profesional Licensing and Regulatory Bodies.

The Ottawa, Canada, based Centre for Executive and Professional Recovery & Renewal offers Clinical and Forensic Psychological evaluation and specialized intensive individual as well as group clinical emotional/behavioral health and addiction intervention for executives and high asset professionals experiencing early stage or acute distress that is currently effecting their emotional and/or behavioral health status along with creating apparent or potential professional performance issues.

Our team of highly credentialed clinical associates are able to provide occupationally related clinical as well as forensic behavioral health evaluation, consultation, and intensive treatment as well as post residential treatment relapse prevention.

Our team is highly experienced in working with executives and professionals in distress or who have demonstrably "de-railed" personally and professionally and require intensive and highly confidential intervention to return them to high level personal and professional functioning.

In addition given our team's experience in applying both clinical as well as forensic evaluation and treatment methodologies we have a unique capacity to assist in consulting with or in regards to executives/professionals exhibiting behaviors associated with what has been referred to as the "dark triad" (psychopathy, narcissism and Machiavellianism).

Emotional, behavioral health and addiction disorders do not discriminate based on occupational and social standing. Executives and professionals have highly individualized and often profession specific clinical needs that are not met in publicly founded or generic treatment programs. Beyond a need for immediate efficient and state of the art treatment services, many professionals have a need for exceptional levels of confidentiality. A sensitive understanding of position and profession related dynamics that lead to maintain or exacerbate a mental or behavioral health and /or addiction problems is required. Research indicates that these issues are quite common occurrences in the lives of executives, professionals, police, military, firefighters, performing artists and professional athletes.

The Centre for Executive and Professional recovery and renewal is located in Ottawa, Canada’s national capital region, but maintains an international focus by providing intensive outpatient treatment programs in selected locations in the United States, Europe and anywhere in the world where our services are required.

Our centre's clinical and consulting services are specifically designed to extend well beyond in both scope, depth and intensity than that found in corporate E.A.P. (employee assistance programs).

• Emotional health disorders

OUTPATIENT GROUP THERAPY (Ottawa weekly group)

Group therapy is often the treatment of choice clinically for executives and professionals who may otherwise be quite isolated within both their professional and personal lives. Weekly groups focusing on both recovery as well as relapse prevention and renewal are held on an ongoing basis in the Ottawa area.

RECOVERY CONTRACT MONITORING FOR DISCIPLINARY & OVERSIGHT BODIES

For professionals in treatment in our area, we provide ongoing case management and compliance monitoring as well as documentation to be provided to provincial and professional oversight and disciplinary bodies.
