Conflicts in relationships are inevitable. In healthy relationships, unexpected changes can be destabilizing; in strained relationships, new disagreements and big decisions can feel crippling — grief, anger, anxiety, and trauma obscuring any good way forward. With my support, you will be able to graciously move through conversations that once felt impossibly difficult. Communication with family members — a partner, an aging parent, a sibling, a child or teen — will foster understanding rather than hostility. Healthy resolution will feel possible again, even in the most challenging processes, such as separation, illness, or death.

Do you struggle to find time for self-care or mindfulness due to a busy schedule? Are you a caregiver or an overwhelmed parent? As a creative soul, do you feel stuck or challenged by the demands of everyday life? If you've tried counseling with little progress, consider ExAT. This form of psychotherapy uses creative modalities like painting, movement, clay work, and poetry to promote self-healing and insight. The approach is "low skill, high sensitivity," meaning no prior experience with art is necessary. ExAT helps manage anxiety, ADHD, trauma, depression, and dementia, while improving self-esteem and the mind-body connection.

Do you struggle with anxiety, have difficulty creating new habits, experience low mood, high stress, or have problems in your relationships? You might have noticed that the 1950s "map of life" doesn't quite work the same, so you're navigating uncharted territory with your own compass and notebook. Our strategies to manage stress, mood and relationship conflicts work well enough until they don't, so the stress starts coming and it won't stop coming... If you also happen to struggle with people pleasing, boundaries, communication, perfectionism or assertiveness and you want to build confidence, you're not alone. And I've got maps.

Thanks for taking a look at my profile. If you are looking for a counsellor it's likely that you are feeling stuck about a particular problem. Stuck problems are frustrating and can make you feel disconnected in your relationships. It can even affect how you see yourself. Looking for a counsellor is a sign that you are ready for change. For 31 years I have helped people of all ages and stages move further towards the goals that they set. I am committed to keeping our relationship safe and respectful by being open, supportive and honest with you. I look forward to meeting you.

My clients come from diverse backgrounds. People who have gone through a major life transition (trauma, loss, career change, breakup, migration, health diagnosis) may need professional support. There may be concerns around career/family and how to show up for life while feeling anxious, burnt out or feeling chronic low mood. Some clients see me for relationship struggles, or find it hard to trust their partner and/or feel insecure in relationships. Clients also see me for perfectionism, sleep issues, chronic fatigue, anxiety, depression, sports performance, enhanced self confidence, body image, self worth and self esteem.

Counsellor-Bryan Kim. People often seek out therapy when they are facing pain and uncertainty — as well they should — but working with a therapist doesn’t need to be something that only happens in a moment of crisis or at the breaking point of a relationship. Therapy is also ideal during times of transition when you simply need some extra support and perspective. You owe it to yourself to take time for focus and reflection. Emotional intelligence and healthy coping skills have extraordinary value, and you should consider therapy to be an investment in your own personal wisdom. You are the expert on your life.

Positive Kids is a provider of holistic ADHD treatment for children and their families. We are the creators of a unique model called "LEPS." Our model tackles the complications associated with ADHD with a very high success rate. The acronym stands for LEARNING, EMOTIONAL, PARENTING, SOCIAL skills. We begin by assessing your child’s ADHD symptoms before we go into a more in-depth discovery of what your child’s individual needs are. Once we have determined the initial requirements, we set up a schedule for you & your child, breaking down each part of the program.

I believe that each person has the ability to improve their life; to become closer to who they want to be. No problem is too difficult to face with the right kind of support. Many people are suffering on their own or feeling stuck in patterns that keep them from having the life they want. Counselling can change this.

Some of my areas of expertise are anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, emotional dysregulation, trauma, relationship conflicts and distress, parenting, and issues related to overcontrol. The foundation of my therapeutic work comes from exploring the mind and tapping into the wisdom of the body. Choosing to enter into counselling or psychotherapy can be a scary and hard decision to make. There is uncertainty about the process and/or the outcome.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In Canada, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or province where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
How much does therapy cost?
Some forms of mental health treatment (for example, seeing a psychiatrist, or seeing a psychologist in a government-funded hospital) are free under provincial health plans. Canadians who seek private counseling can typically expect to pay an average of $150 per session, although the actual price generally ranges between $100 and $3200 per session, depending on their location and the type of provider they select. Workplace benefits or private insurance plans often provide an annual counselling allowance, and some therapists offer sliding scale fees to clients who cannot pay full price.
