Feeling stuck in a cycle of negativity, insecurity, or hopelessness? Do you long to improve your relationship with yourself and others? Through therapy, old patterns give way as you gain more access and understanding of your emotions, and a stronger and wiser version of yourself becomes available. I hold space for your healing and growth and also for your unique values, beliefs, and lived experience. In addition to individual therapy, I also offer couples counseling, where we work to understand negative patterns that keep you in conflict, and begin to create new patterns of connection, safety, and trust.

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.

Our experiences in the world are shaped by a myriad of factors both internal and external to us. Identities, relationships, environments and stressors often impact the ways in which we walk through our lives. Many people find that past hardships continue to influence our present wellbeing. It's common for people to feel fearful and stuck when painful or uncomfortable thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations arise for reasons seemingly outside of our awareness. These occurrences can ultimately hinder our ability to remain present, open and engaged in our day to day lives.

Many clients come to me feeling stuck, disconnected, or weighed down. Distress does not exist in a vacuum. It is shaped by context, and identity, which contribute to a sense of safety and belonging.

Using concrete strategies, through the lenses of choice, collaboration, and respect, I aim to support you in loosening the grip of old narratives, and building a renewed sense of agency, meaning, and direction in life.

I know firsthand finding a therapist that feels like the right fit can seem like an overwhelming task. Not only is it vulnerable, but at times difficult to get a sense of who this person is or how they might be able to help. I want to use this bio to be as transparent as possible about what therapy might be like with me. First and foremost, I show up to therapy not only as a therapist but more importantly as a human being. I will listen to you with genuine care and curiosity, do my best to ensure you feel heard and valued, provide encouragement, offer new perspective when needed, and even crack a joke or two with those who fancy it.

Halifax, NS B3H
I work with adults who feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or stuck in survival mode while continuing to manage the demands of work, relationships, and daily life. Many people I support have spent years coping, adapting, and pushing through, often without fully understanding why things feel so hard internally. Anxiety, burnout, relationship difficulties, identity strain, and workplace stress are frequently rooted in trauma or adverse childhood experiences (ACEs), including complex or developmental trauma, even when these connections are not immediately recognized.
