Are you or someone you love struggling with anxiety, panic, depression, or lack of motivation? Are you or your loved ones dealing with relationship difficulties and would like to develop tools and skills to both cope with the now and move forward? I connect with clients with the belief that everyone has both immense strengths that they've already used to solve past problems in their lives, and a capacity to learn new ways of understanding their own lives, their own mind and beliefs, and their own way of acting.

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.

Hello! Does any of this sound familiar? You’ve done a lot to keep things together: managing responsibilities, staying productive, showing up for others. But underneath that, you might be feeling anxious, disconnected, or like you’re always falling short in ways you can’t fully explain.

We all go through difficulties in our lives, ranging from frustrating, distressing, to traumatic. Mental Health struggles can complicate our interaction with the world, causing problems in many parts of life, including socially, with family, in employment or legally. Getting some advice, coping techniques or in depth treatment can be helpful to provide relief to yourself and improve interactions with those around you.

In traditional therapy we use the therapeutic relationship and supportive conversation to build empathy for ourselves, while finding new ways of seeing problems. We work at learning to change our thoughts and actions in order to shift challenging emotions. While this "top down" approach can be helpful, many people find thinking based skills alone are not enough. A great therapy conversation can come with a lot of relief and insight, but these benefits may not always stick around outside of the office. My approach provides an alternate way to work with stuck emotions, difficult memories and entrenched patterns of behaviour.

Using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I help clients improve their ability to regulate intense emotions (anger, anxiety) and to communicate in a healthy way with the people they love.
I also provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to address negative thinking patterns that maintain our low self-worth, parental guilt, and depression.

Life can be difficult, and we can lose our way sometimes. Perhaps you are caught up with intrusive thoughts, overwhelmed by burnout, or struggling with low-self-esteem, shame, or difficult life transitions. Maybe you’ve been silently carrying it all, unsure if anyone will truly understand. Deep down, you want relief, clarity, and a stronger connection to yourself. You want to feel seen, heard, and supported - by someone who gets it and can help you make sense of it. Or you may want tangible tools to help you cope with the difficulty you are facing and move forward with clarity. You are not alone - change is possible.

People encounter problems in their lives and come into relationship with them. Sometimes problems stay around longer than people would like - sometimes even long enough that they start to see themselves as the problem. My approach follows the narrative therapy practice of externalizing and examining problems so that we can reveal their histories, their impacts, and also the ways you have resisted their unwanted influence on your life. This approach focuses on the active role you play in pursuing the life that you want, as well as the people and things that support you in that pursuit.

I am somewhat selective with my clients, because I want to ensure that I am working in areas where I have genuine competency. Anxiety, Trauma, Emotional Regulation, Self-Esteem and helping with Relationships are the areas where I spend most of my time and where Clients report the biggest changes. Typically my caseload consists of previous clients who return to therapy to work on something new, or continue after taking a break. However, I have expanded availability and have space for 8-10 new clients. I also fucking love working with people who are hesitant about starting therapy, or who haven't liked their previous therapist.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with therapists of a specific gender. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
