Are you a gay

You may feel sick to your stomach or have trouble sleeping. You’re looking for relief to finally feel “you” again. The good news is that there are specific skills you can learn to not only manage the anxiety, but truly thrive. I know reaching out for support can be really difficult when you don’t know what to expect.

Clients who are looking for answers, looking to understand how they got to where they are, clients who struggle to control their own emotions, thoughts, or behaviour, these are the clients with whom I work the best. Having said that, I'm very adaptable to the needs of the client. If they need a teacher, I teach. If they need a listener, I listen. If they need a mentor, I mentor.

If life feels overwhelming or perhaps feels like you are in emotional pain and are having trouble coping, I meet clients where they are at in their struggles and help them to unpack their emotions and offer strategies for increased resilliancy.

Counsellor, MA-MFT, RCC
Verified
By all appearances you have a rather functional life, but on the inside you often feel lost. This lostness can come with big waves of anxiety, perhaps ripples of avoidance or distraction, and it makes even daily living feel pretty overwhelming, and maybe even confusing, at times. Relationships seem hard to deepen and aren't really feeling nourishing; maybe it feels hard to let people in or to connect emotionally. You're ready to start taking a look inside and to get curious about how your previous lived experiences are perhaps connected to present-day blocks and pain.
Terry L Voth
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, BA, BSW, MSW

I have thirty-five years of counselling experience in dealing with people that are in distress, and facing life problems that are troubling. Whether it is about yourself or a relationship of importance to you, I can be of help.
Brian James Klassen
Counsellor, MEd, RCC
Verified
Clients who enter into therapy with me will find themselves entering into a warm and safe environment where they feel respected, valued and heard. Asking for help isn't easy. I always admire the courage it takes for a person or couple to decide to enter into the counselling process. People often feel vulnerable and anxious when they come to counselling for the first time and my goal is to help you feel safe and cared for, and to know that you're not alone. My belief about the therapy process is that in order to heal and grow, we need to "feel felt" - to feel genuine concern and understanding in a non-judgemental environment.
Carey Penner
Psychologist, PhD, RPsych

Life is a rich, complex and, at times, difficult journey that brings all kinds of challenges and rewards along its paths. Though the challenges come in many different forms (i.e., work pressure, relational difficulties, traumatic experiences, career uncertainty, life transition, etc.), they often bring a range of difficult emotion including fear, anxiety, sadness, confusion, anger, and loneliness. As a Registered Psychologist, I seek to help people respond more effectively to the various challenges and emotional difficulties they face. I also work with people who are seeking to enhance their wellbeing and live their lives with greater meaning and purpose.
Steve Woolf
Counsellor, MSEd, RCC, NCC

“Pain and suffering are always inevitable for a large intelligence and a deep heart” writes Fyodor Dostoyevsky. This quote, though inspiring, leaves much unexplained. How do we transform our experiences of pain and suffering (i.e. anxiety, grief, depression, relationship discord) into the beauty of a deeper heart? Marcel Proust provides a clue, “We are healed of a suffering only by experiencing it to the full”. Thus, the transformation of suffering comes through full experience. In a society that tends to bury suffering, a guide specializing in unearthing its hidden potential is key.
Within Reach Counselling
Counsellor, RTC
Verified
Everybody struggles. Looking at changing your whole life can feel like a mountain. Shifts in the way you view things and changing the way you think. Your emotions do not define you. You are not your story. You have the power to rewrite that story. "I know it's scary, I've been in your shoes. There is no growth without change. You want that change or you wouldn't be here. You don't have to do it on your own and my promise to you is to do my best and help you with that. " ~ Gerry
Robert A Butler
Counsellor, MA, CCC

After more than 45 years in counselling I remain more intrigued than ever by opportunities to support positive growth. At key junctures in life's journey we are confronted with painful experiences that can create the required urgency for needed change. By carefully focusing on a client's unique story I extend an invitation to collaboratively clarify goals and set new directions. I draw from a wide variety of therapeutic approaches but also the life experience gained by being a father of 5, experiencing a diverse and enriching career path, as well as overcoming my own share of adversity along the way.
