Currently accepting new clients. I support adults who are looking for support with anxiety, chronic stress, overthinking, health worries, burnout, and performance pressure - in work, sport, or music. My approach is collaborative, warm, and practical. I believe that therapy doesn’t have to be stuffy - humour, creativity, and curiosity are welcome here.
In our work together, we’ll clarify what matters most to you, and help you respond more flexibly to difficult thoughts and emotions so they no longer run the show. I integrate evidence-based approaches and offer the option of using music in therapy for clients who find it meaningful or expressive.
I’m supervised by Dr. Julie Beaulac, Clinical Health & Rehab Psychologist for ongoing professional development. I work with clients virtually across Ontario, through a secure video platform. Please reach out with any questions you may have or to book a free consultation; I’d be glad to hear from you.
Call or Kevin Chaves now for a free 15 minute consultation - (613) 482-0171

In your first session, we will discuss your main issue/concern and gather some initial information to set goals. I often use Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) in my work and provide the option of integrating music into our sessions (e.g. listening to songs, analyzing lyrics, playing music on instruments) to support our work.
