Hello! I count it a great honour to walk alongside others as they journey through difficult pieces. My goal in working with my clients is to create a safe space for exploration so that together we can go to the deep places where they might be feeling stuck. I love working with my clients strengths and firmly believe each person has strengths that can help them move towards the change they'd like to experience.

I work with adults who are navigating in-between times and places, relationship struggles, grief and loss, and challenges that prevent them from fully showing up in their lives. I believe therapy is a place to strengthen connection to self, and also locate that self within larger systems. Our environments, cultures, institutions, and lineages influence us in different ways - to find our power, we must understand the world around us, and the stories we live within. My work with couples attends to the individuals and the dynamics between them.

When was the last time you felt a sense of wellness and peace? When was the last time you felt inner joy and equanimity? We all make mistakes and we all suffer from other people's mistakes and wrong done to us. However, we don't have to continue to live with the same pain and loss tomorrow.

Hi, my name is Steve Gates and I have been working in mental health for 17 years with 9 years working as a counsellor with the Nova Scotia Health Authority. In my work, I try to blend my training with your expertise about you. Using this approach, I have seen people make progress through situations that truly seemed impossible. In my experience, once people accept where they are and make realistic goals, they tend to make progress. The “feel better” part does seem to take time, but it tends to follow the changes.

“Until you stop breathing, there's more right with you than wrong with you." (Jon Kabat-Zinn) This is also my guide and intention as a Registered Counselling Therapist. My work is to help an individual experience themselves differently while providing compassion, presence and skill in a safe space. I offer an integrated, eclectic approach that is based on each client's needs. Understanding attachment style, the effects of trauma and the mind-brain-body connection inform my therapeutic approach.

Throughout life, we all move through different transitions: anticipated or unexpected, joyful or marked by grief. These transitions might look like the loss of a loved one, grief, career changes, relationship shifts, burnout, or questioning your identity or purpose.
It’s a privilege to learn about clients’ life journeys and to help them recognize how many strengths and abilities they already possess. As a counselling therapist, I strive to support clients by collaborating together to explore what might be holding them back from living their desired story.

Struggles like the ones you are going through are frightening and isolating. It can feel like you are carrying a burden no one else could possibly understand, something that is impossible to put into words, and that feels too overwhelming to face. Anxiety and fear run right through your body and seem to come out of nowhere. Perhaps worst of all, you might be walking around feeling like you have to pretend everything is okay.
