I am well versed in providing counselling services to children, adolescents and adults of all ages. I enjoy working with people who are struggling in the various stages and different aspects of their lives. For adolescents and adults, this could involve understanding and better managing anxiety, depression, grief or unexpected changes. It could also be in a supportive role as clients navigate learning about their new psychiatric diagnosis and how to best manage it. Or it may be working with children teaching them about their emotions, worry and adapting to big changes in their lives. The help I can provide is broad and varies.

There are certain points in life when circumstances become too challenging to manage and work through alone. Sometimes we lose our direction and feel so overwhelmed or lost to find our way back to a place of joy or inner peace. Seeking therapy can support individuals, children and families overcome the challenges they are experiencing and find that balance we all need.

Hello, my name is Daniel Nehmetallah, I am a Registered Social Worker and trained as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. As someone who’s struggled with mental health while navigating intersections of identity and culture, I understand what it is like to struggle internally. Seeking out help can be a challenging journey that requires self reflection and a willingness to embrace vulnerability, especially when there are many barriers in place holding us back. With this, I strongly believe that every person is deserving of transformation and healing.

Somewhere along the way, you have lost your sense of self. Perhaps problems continue to surface, and you find yourself in survival mode (instead of living the life you really want). Whether it is strained relationships, disappointment, anxiety, or difficulty coping with everyday stressors, you find yourself at a crossroads. Somehow, these setbacks have given you permission to get in your own way, and the self-doubt now interferes with your ability to live in the moment, preventing you from ever really feeling fulfilled. You may not even be sure of where the emptiness is coming from, but you know something must change.

Motivational Interviewing Counsellors

How does motivational interviewing work?

Motivational interviewing aims to uncover a person’s internal motivation to change their life. Toward this end, the therapist listens, empathises, and collaborates with the client based on their perspective; the therapist doesn’t adhere to a predetermined plan for change or impose their viewpoint on the client. Discovering an individual’s most important reasons for change, and guiding them to achieve those changes, can empower people to shift from ambivalence to action.

Is motivational interviewing evidence-based?

Yes, research shows that motivational interviewing can help treat alcohol and substance use — and in different ways such as reducing drinking, reducing resistance, and increasing the likelihood of staying in treatment. Motivational interviewing has also been shown to help people lose weight, adhere to medication regimens, improve diet for those with Type II diabetes, and improve healthy behaviours in children.

How long does motivational interviewing last?

Motivational interviewing is a short-term therapy that can last just one or two sessions. In some cases, motivational interviewing may be used in conjunction with longer-term therapies, but for most people, motivational interviewing is a brief intervention that aims to help patients understand their personal, specific, and internal reasons for changing their life.

What differentiates motivational interviewing from person-centered therapy?

In person-centered therapy, the individual is in the driver’s seat of the treatment process, creating space for them to trust their instincts and arrive at their own solutions. The two approaches are similar because motivational interviewing is also client-centered; however, person-centered therapy is more open-ended while motivational interviewing is somewhat more structured; the goal is to change, and the therapist helps the client specifically discover their internal motivations to modify their behaviour.
