Therapists in L7R

Do you struggle with finding clear direction and the way forward due to major changes in your life? Do you face anxiety, depression, or difficulty accepting and valuing who you really are? The therapy I practice is focused on helping adults to gain a true sense of themselves as individuals, to value and accept themselves, and to let this deeper sense of identity be the compass that guides us through our life journey. I'm empathic, experienced and an extremely good listener. My therapy approach combines deep insight with practical approaches for living out who you really are, without apology.

Engaging in psychotherapy is a brave step towards reconciling with one's past, making amends with others, and finding peace with oneself. It's a unique relationship that lays the foundation for healing all other relationships. Psychotherapy, in its core, is a spiritual journey—a pilgrimage into the self. Just as a pilgrim walks from temple to temple, seeking enlightenment, an individual's therapeutic journey may involve multiple therapists. I might be your current one, but perhaps not your first nor your last. Each leg of this journey, with each therapist, requires courage and a faith that transformation is attainable.

My approach is 'you-centred,' to speak your language, tune into the approach that works for you, your nature and the challenges at hand. I want you to feel safe, genuinely cared about and that you have my full support. As this kind of work is so personal, I offer a ten minute phone conversation at no charge so you can see if we would work well together. Facing life when it's hard can be overwhelming, painful and serious. So, if we get the chance, laughter when possible. Let's team up to get your life back.

I'm an experienced clinical psychologist providing consultation and treatment to adolescents and adults, with a focus on emotions, relationships, and the mind-body connection. I work with individuals who identify with a wide range of challenges including addiction, anxiety disorders, depression, eating disorders, adjustment issues, interpersonal and relational difficulties, chronic pain, and trauma. I'm always active in continued professional development , but I work primarily from a holistic, emotion focussed, embodied approach with emphasis on mindfulness, acceptance, and self-compassion.

​​Having a therapist who is the right fit for you is vital. Therapy can be helpful in addressing difficulties you may be experiencing — from traumas to daily stressors. I strive to help my clients tackle their traumatic experiences in a collaborative, safe and accepting environment. Together, we can explore ways to cope with anything that life throws your way.

I'm passionate about working with people who are willing to create movement and change in their lives; change that will promote a healthy and well-balanced lifestyle. I believe that we are all able to improve our relationships - both with ourselves and with others. By successfully working towards reaching our goals and by trusting ourselves, we learn to listen to our inner guidance. Whether you are facing anxiety, stress, challenging relationships, sexuality issues, trauma, grief & loss, addiction, anger, shame, a difficult life transition or crisis, depression, or simply want guidance to improve an area of your life.

Experience in working with women, children, men, couples, families and agencies, I have certificates from U of T in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Concurrent Disorders as well as training in EMDR, CBT, mindfulness/meditation, ACT, IFS, solution focused brief therapy, motivational interviewing, emotion focused, narrative therapy, experiential therapies and addiction treatment to name a few. My approaches are trauma informed. I am able to offer thorough assessments and treatment that aim to heal deeply rooted emotional and behavioural patterns that might be keeping you stuck.

Do you feel trapped and alone? Do you sometimes feel stressed and overwhelmed? Are you sad all the time? Do you feel anxious in new social situations? Every once in a while someone needs a Helping Hand. I can see you, your adolescent, or you and your spouse. Whether it is a personal problem or a relationship that needs attention, whether it is anxiety or depression that is pulling you down, I believe in your ability to make a change in your life. It is an individualized approach and culturally sensitive therapy that will help you reach your goals.

Chad is an award winning therapist who doesn't actually enjoy writing in the third person. My main goal is to help people know how to be emotionally healthy using a combination of tools I've created through life experience and modalities like solution focused therapy, CBT, EFT, and DBT. I tend to be a bit different than traditional therapists as I often have more laughs than tears in my office, but either way, my hope is to help people feel cared about and safe enough to share their lives. Men (or anyone) who are nervous about therapy or people who have had a bad experience with it tend to really like my down to earth style.

I guide people through powerful life transitions and support them through the process of self-discovery and rebirth. Self-awareness is essential to overcoming life's obstacles. But there's often a catch isn't there. The story you tell yourself, it seems to have an agenda of its own. (I'm not good enough, someone's always achieving more than me. Why do I have to do all the work?) So how do you move beyond your current thinking? What has actually happened to warrant your thinking? What's been the core pattern in your relationships till now, and what happens when you challenge that pattern? Pause.... and sit with these questions.

Living a balanced, meaningful life with a grounded sense of self and loving connections can be a difficult thing to achieve and maintain. Yet these things can change the way we experience and negotiate our world. Therapy can help create a clearer understanding of obstacles and how to overcome them in order to live the life we want.

You are an individual. There is no one else quite like you. Your therapy should be as unique as you are. We are all the products of our past, from experiences that happened so long ago that they escape memory to what happened just as we opened the door to the present moment. Early in our lives, we learn the skills we need to navigate the world we find ourselves in. Those skills stay with us and help protect us on our journey through life. They continually have an impact on how we deal with ourselves and others every day.
