Working from a relational stance, we join together to widen the perspective using lenses like Family Systems Theory, Attachment Theory, and AEDP, among others.
Life can be messy on the inside, even when it looks great from the outside. Often we can feel numb or overwhelmed inside. Alone. Are you seeking to gain insight and clarity around your habits, patterns or relationships? Do you feel your relationships are supporting you or keeping you stuck? How does your life feel to you: vital and juicy or stale and stagnant? How do you want your life to feel? And who were you meant to become? Perhaps you are navigating a significant life transition - exploring who you are and what's next. Often, counting ourselves in is the first step.

Trained in several modalities, Don is most influenced by AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) and IFS (Internal Family Systems).
Don is a non-judgmental, mature, and caring therapist, specializing in services to address the unique needs and challenges of boys and men. Sometimes difficult emotions arise making you feel terrible and damaging your relationships. Depression and anxiety can persist leaving you at a loss for what to do. Perhaps you have lost enthusiasm and motivation to engage with life and battled with a sense of shame that tells you that you must not be yourself. Your son may struggle with some of the above and you are not sure what to do. These experiences and so many more are common to boys and men who often tend to suffer alone.

Sometimes we feel stuck. Fear and self-doubt can often keep us paralyzed in place because we don’t know where to start making change happen. And sometimes we’re petrified of making the wrong decision! Our past experiences can often create habits, patterns and limiting beliefs, ones that can often 'run the show' and affect the 'here and now' presenting dilemmas in our life that hold us back from feeling alive and thriving.

Are you stuck despite having a hunch about why you may feel, think, or act the way you do? What if I told you that it is possible to get to the core of your current difficulties and it is easier than you think? Anxiety, self-doubt, self-criticism, shame, procrastination, emotional avoidance, etc. may not be the real issue but rather a symptom of the issue. In my experience, these emotional states or stress-driven behaviours are simply masking what the real concern is. Focusing on that alone is giving you an incomplete picture of what is really going, which is why you haven’t been able to take steps forward yet.

Who is AEDP therapy for?
Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) is for adults who have experienced emotional pain in the past that, because it has not been adequately addressed and processed, interferes with current functioning. The problems might manifest in a number of different ways, from excessive anger to relationship difficulties to PTSD to eating disorders, poor self-esteem, and depression. They may also be accompanied by physiological symptoms. AEDP helps people accept and digest challenging emotional experiences.
Why do people need AEDP?
People need AEDP as a way to manage distressing emotions—including anger, shame, and guilt—that in some way hamper the ability to function and form satisfying relationships in the present. The therapist-client relationship is believed to provide corrective emotional and relational experiences that facilitate positive changes in brain function, forge pathways for processing traumatic experiences, and allow resolution of emotional pain.
What happens in AEDP therapy?
Once individuals have established a strong bond with the AEDP therapist and the therapist has established a safe and secure environment, clients are encouraged to explore their most painful emotional experiences. They may be asked to pay attention to disquieting body sensations as well as to psychological discomfort. Individuals learn how to process emotions, rather than avoid them. Through the strength of the therapist-client bond, each session is intended to provide a powerful positive experience for individuals, enabling growth.
What problems does AEDP treat?
AEDP is intended to treat the unprocessed emotional pain caused by earlier distressing experiences, which commonly includes behavioural avoidance of current situations and experiences for fear that they will reactivate painful feelings. Emotional pain and avoidant behaviour play a role in a wide array of mental health conditions, which is why AEDP is applied to the treatment of a range of disorders including depression, anxiety, PTSD, relationship difficulties, and eating disorders.
