Christian Counselling Therapists in K6V

My ideal client is someone who is ready for change but unsure how to proceed. They are courageous by reaching out for help and trusting in being vulnerable to a complete stranger. They are someone who builds trust slowly with me as a professional and who is committed to achieving their goal. They know the road to success will not be easy but they are trusting enough to return for the next session even if the last one ended badly. This client is confident enough to give me their feedback regarding interventions or approaches they didn't enjoy in session.

We specialize in EMDR, trauma treatment, perinatal mental health and relational difficulties. We offer in-person and virtual therapy sessions to support you; your ability to feel safe and connected is our main priority.

It's not just you, life HAS gotten harder in the last few years. If you've been powering through, staying strong and carrying on, but now you're barely getting by and you're tired of feeling like you're not really living your life, it might be time for outside support. The benefit of therapy is that it's a time where you get to focus on yourself, to look at your life, and to get an outside perspective on how it could be different. You don't have to just endure, with the right support, you can heal from the past, and move forward towards a better future.

Are you feeling disconnected to yourself, loved ones, or society? Do you question whether you are a good father, son, or partner? Do you feel angry, stuck, overwhelmed, powerless, guilty, or "not normal". 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, suicidal ideation, poor relationships, grief, low self-esteem, or low self-worth. You are not alone! First Step Men's Therapy offers a safe, warm, and inviting space for men to heal, learn, and grow. Book a free consultation today at firststepmenstherapy.com!
