My focus is on helping clients identify what is important to them, and move towards a more rich and meaningful life. An essential part of this process is understanding what is getting in the way of change, and developing the skills to move forward. I provide a safe space where one can observe their thoughts and emotions, without judgment. Don't let doubt or fear stand in your way, you are worth the effort.

Services are covered by extended health insurance plans.

Relationships are hard, and as men we do not always know how to effectively work through turbulence. Sometimes, we can act in ways that push others away. Other times, we can get pushed away for seemingly no rhyme or reason. In both situations it can feel impossible to find peace, whether that means working towards mending the relationship, or in some circumstances learning how to let go. These complex situations consume a great deal of our time and can leave us feeling sad, anxious, angry, and not like ourselves. Together, we can build healthy and satisfying relationships and get you back to feeling like YOU.

Disconnected? Lost? Stuck? Hopeless? Feeling "broken"? Wondering what your purpose or meaning is in life? You may question whether you are a good father, son, or partner. Many men struggle with their mental health without seeking help or reaching out for support. Often, this struggle may lead to addiction, anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, poor relationships, OCD, low self-esteem, or low self-worth. It's time to normalize men seeking support. First Step Men's Therapy offers a safe, warm, and inviting space for men to heal, learn, and grow. Book a free 20-minute consultation - No waitlist - Click the "website" button to learn more.

Living life to the fullest potential is a choice we make each day. But sometimes, this decision is difficult to honour. You may have found yourself in a tricky situation where you must adopt a new perspective. You could be facing an unprecedented circumstance that demands your growth. Or you could simply be struggling to find meaning in your day-to-day experiences. In these moments, a reminder may be all that you need.

Hello, I am a Registered Psychologist licensed work in Clinical, Counselling and Rehabilitation Psychology. Throughout my career I have worked with families, couples and individuals, in preventative, supportive, crisis and therapeutic settings. These roles have allowed me to develop an approach to working with people that draws upon the strengths of cognitive, behavioural, relational, attachment and trauma informed therapies. Working together may involve understanding how your past is impacting your relationships/parenting today, or it may focus on developing ways of dealing with and working through issues in your daily life.

My approach is person-centered, meaning you will be treated according to your specific needs, perceptions, emotions, thoughts and thinking style. Certified in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and employing counselling techniques including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapies, I will help you to accelerate your path to wellness.

I am a registered psychologist providing assessment and treatment services to children, teens, adults, and families. My treatment approach is largely cognitive-behavioural, and I have experience working with a wide range of issues including anxiety, mood problems, stress, relationship difficulties, and child-behaviour management. The treatment that I provide is client-centred, meaning that I work each individual (and their families, when appropriate) to identify and work towards his or her own unique goals. Counselling is provided in a supportive, confidential and professional environment. Collaboration with other health care (or school) professionals is always possible.

Psychodynamic/psychoanalytic treatment helps people master psychological difficulties, takes a long time, gives lasting results and is hard work. If you feel ready to do this work, I may be able to help you. See my website for fuller discussion about the efficacy of psychodynamic treatment and the type of problems that can be addressed with this approach.

Anxiety, invalidation, depression, and overwhelm, may have major needs worth supporting. I've noticed overthinking, numbing, avoidance, ongoing suffering from trauma, or imbalances in mind and body may surface. Most clients discover what is most fulfilling and transformative only during deeper reflection or exploration of their needs. Come find what you value, how to better express your needs, and discover how to help yourself. Feeling lost, unsupported, and uncertain is natural, but you don't need to stay stuck. Regardless of the reason, I’m glad you found your way here to connect and find your authentic path forward.

I enjoy working with adults struggling to make and maintain behavioral change in areas such as substance use, addictive behaviors, anxiety, and depression. I also work with clients interested in enhancing interpersonal functioning and learning skills for navigating relationships. I believe the therapeutic relationship is key to change, and I emphasize and cultivate an environment of collaboration, mutual respect, and compassion.

I have more than twenty-five years of experience providing mental health services to children, adolescents, youth, adults, and families. I was an Outreach Crisis Worker for fifteen years and a clinical therapist in an outpatient mental health clinic for more than ten years. I have years of experience working with criminally-involved youths. I have significant experience providing treatment to minors who were involved in sexually offending behaviours or engaged in fire-setting behaviours.

I enjoy working with pre-teens, teenagers and adults that have yet to find a fix to their life challenges. I work with a large number semi & professional athletes as well as first responders.

Currently, we provide online counseling services exclusively, featuring a talented team of counselors from diverse backgrounds who can tackle a wide range of mental health issues. Our primary goal is to nurture the holistic well-being of our clients, addressing their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects through exceptional counseling services. We cater to individuals, couples, and families, tailoring our approach for each unique client. In the event of client dissatisfaction with a therapist, we pledge to either find an appropriate replacement or suggest an unaffiliated alternative expert to ensure their needs are met.

I am collaborative, empathetic, understanding, and hopeful in my work with clients. I am interested in learning about new people and clients often comment that this shows. I am also an award winning author having authored five books on modern CBT, specifically ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).

Living a balanced, meaningful life with a grounded sense of self and loving connections can be a difficult thing to achieve and maintain. Yet these things can change the way we experience and negotiate our world. Therapy can help create a clearer understanding of obstacles and how to overcome them in order to live the life we want. For over 15 years Alison has had the privilege of providing support to a wide range of clients in the areas of trauma, relationships, addictions, depression, anxiety, codependency, grief/loss, family-of-origin issues and abuse.

At times, many of us contend with emotions and suffering that are overwhelmingly painful, disheartening and difficult to bear, often as a result of unique stressors and events. I work with adults, adolescents, families and step-families using Emotionally Focused Therapy, EMDR, interpersonal psychotherapy, and DBT/CBT within neuroscience and attachment frameworks. I encouraged clients to access inner strengths and free their capacity for growth. Whether you or a family member experience depression, anxiety, marital distress or difficulties with peers, you deserve support in a confidential, accepting, safe and caring environment.

Life isn't simple, it's filled with experiences and emotions that can be overwhelming and stressful. As experts of our own life, we interpret and internalize various situations and experiences with different lenses and perspectives. Living in the most multicultural city in the world, we are given the opportunity to gain valuable knowledge, insight and perspectives from various cultures and traditions that we can utilize to understand people. I provide an eclectic and holistic approach to therapy to deal with trauma, loss, relationships, conflict, and crisis.
