Carl Newton is a doctoral student in the University of Ottawa’s Clinical Psychology program. He is currently completing an external practicum with the Ottawa Institute of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (OICBT) under the supervision of Dr. Kathryn Sexton. Carl has a passion for mental health support and therapy, and is a strong believer that anybody can benefit from therapy, regardless of their past or background. He understands that taking the first step toward seeking help can often be the hardest part, and as a result, focuses on creating an inclusive and welcoming environment for his clients. With this compassionate approach, he strives to positively impact all those he works with.
