About Culminate Group Ottawa

Jillian Papineau, PhD, is a compassionate individual who possesses a deep desire to help others and contribute to the growth of therapists. She is characterized by her empathetic nature, a genuine concern for the well-being of others, and a strong belief in the power of therapeutic support – for both client and therapist!

She completed her PhD studies in 2018 with a focus on therapist development through clinical supervision. She has worked in the mental health field for over a decade as a registered psychotherapist, supervisor, clinical manager, and mentor.

Jillian’s passion for helping people is evident in her commitment to facilitating the growth of therapists. Recognizing the pivotal role that therapists play in the emotional and mental well-being of individuals, she is dedicated to creating a supportive environment for them to thrive. Jillian understands that therapists, like anyone else, benefit from ongoing learning and professional development, and she actively seeks ways to provide resources and opportunities for their growth.

In 2022, Jillian joined professional forces with Isaac Davis, RP, a skilled and compassionate registered psychotherapist with a shared commitment to quality care and therapist development. With a strong background in client-centered approaches, over 10 years of experience in the field, and a dedication to fostering resilience and growth, Isaac brought complementary strengths to the team. Together, Jillian and Isaac envisioned a collaborative model that not only enhanced therapeutic services for clients but also cultivated a supportive and enriching space for therapists to grow and excel.

Thus, Culminate Counselling and Psychotherapy was born. The Culminate group of services is designed to reduce barriers to access, provide high-quality care to clients, and create a safe, nourishing environment for therapists to thrive. By blending their expertise and shared values, Jillian and Isaac continue to champion the mission of holistic care and professional excellence.

In the words of Jillian & Isaac: to forever learning.
