Men's Issues Therapists in Kitchener, ON

I believe that my role as a therapist is to work myself out of a job. If you’re feeling tired of hitting your head on the same wall or feeling stuck in your situation, I’d love to work together so that we can find solutions to get you moving forward. I want to provide you with hands-on tools to begin to identify why you do what you do and how to make a permanent change for the better. If you’re ready to ask yourself the hard questions and you’re determined to put in the work to become a better version of yourself, let’s talk.

Calming Tree Counselling & Wellness is an experienced counselling and psychotherapy practice where everyone: regardless of race, sexual orientation, ethnicity, gender or age will be met with warmth, empathy, and confidentiality. We support children, youth/students, adults & relationships in a space where safety and trust is paramount in the therapeutic relationship. We guide clients in the journey of exploring their feelings, beliefs, and behaviours to better understand themselves and others, to set goals when appropriate, and work collaboratively toward desired change.

Do you feel overwhelmed since becoming a mom or dad? Putting everyone else's needs before your own can make you feel lost. Balancing family life with work, friendships, and things you enjoy is tough. Learn new strategies to manage the mental load and reconnect with yourself. I offer individual counselling to people experiencing anxiety, depression, burnout, interpersonal conflict, and more. Together we can identify your goals and come up with a plan to support you in whatever stage of life you are in. If you have been putting yourself on the back burner now is a great time to reach out. What are you waiting for?

I'm here to support you navigate life's challenges, helping you gain clarity about your next steps and beyond. My clients routinely discover new insights about themselves, their circumstances and ways to relieve the pain or frustration they're experiencing. You can count on a therapeutic experience where you feel accepted, understood and safe. In a relaxed setting, we'll tackle the serious work of therapy together, anticipating breakthroughs that heal and strengthen. Your well-being, your return to health and your future story are my sole focus.

Currently accepting new clients (as of the week of April 22nd, 2024)! My style and approach to therapy are influenced by a holistic understanding that we are a composite of our histories and experiences, the intersections of our identities, and socio-cultural understandings and systems. I am also a firm believer that therapy is a collaborative process of growth and discovery between the client and therapist, and while you are the true catalyst for change, it is an honour to be by your side throughout the journey.

I support individuals with depression, anxiety, relationships, disabilities, and overall health. I have over 22 years experience within the mental health sector providing support and counselling to those with a wide range of challenges.

Do you want an empathic ear and a voice that instills hope in times of stress, anxiety and depression? I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to work through the things you are facing. In addition to working with individuals dealing with anxiety, grief, depression and life stresses, I work with couples looking to improve their communication. I am skilled at finding each person’s love language, improving conflict resolution and helping couples communicate more effectively.

Being a person can be confusing. Sometimes we have a clear sense of what is wrong or needs to change, but we don't know how to get there. Other times we feel completely at sea, not even knowing how to name what we are feeling or what we want. There is no right way to approach this work: bring your self and we can work together to sort out the rest. Of course, we do not exist in a vacuum. Our identities, relationships, cultures and beliefs are a part of who we are and impact our experiences. Let's explore who you are, your challenges, what you feel, and what you need to help you to navigate life in a way that feels important to you.

Do you find it difficult to slow down and notice how you are actually feeling? Do you wonder what life could be like if you learned how your past has impacted who you are now? During our sessions I will help you hold space for yourself so you can develop a deep sense of strength that enables you to sit with your emotions even when they are uncomfortable. My intention is to help you understand the link between the past and the present—to help you learn the roots of why you cope in dysfunctional ways now that were likely useful adaptations in your past. You deserve to understand yourself and I believe you can change your patterns.

Hi, I’m Kate. I help individuals, couples and families to grow, make improvements and overcome challenges in their lives. Getting support can help deepen your understanding of yourself and others in your life. Together we will explore parts of your inner self or relationship, noticing areas that assist you as well as ones that you may want to update or leave behind. I strive to create a space that is warm, genuine and encouraging. I am here to listen, help you reflect, and at times, challenge you to grow. I want your time with me to be effective and I aim to have you leave each session with a new thought, perspective or tool.

Change is hard and becoming a parent is perhaps one of the most transformative life transitions of all. Each stage we go through from conception to empty nesting comes with its joys and challenges. I have experience walking alongside people as they navigate change in their lives. It is my intention to support you so you feel safe to open up and explore yourself. As I’ve learned, parenting is tough and it is common to feel lost. There is such value in creating connection with others, as well as ourselves. Change may also be embracing opportunities to focus on one's well-being and goals, in a way that brings balance.

Hello and welcome. From the get go, I know that you bring strength, resilience and things that make you wonderfully unique as a person. From this starting point, I work with teens, adults and couples/families, to attend to the areas of your life that bring you to therapy. We aren’t meant to do it all on our own. My approach is gentle and curious. In working together, I prioritize attending to your felt-sense of safety and connection. These are primary and essential conditions for healing.

ACCEPTING NEW INDIVIDUAL THERAPY CLIENTS. I believe in honouring the person in front of me, making room for you to tell your story, and working collaboratively towards your goals. I work with individuals, couples, and families to manage and transform: conflict in relationships, strong emotions, life changes, cultural pressures, identity stressors, depression, anxiety, and more. Much of my work is relational (i.e. with couples, families or groups). I value and reflect on the unique perspectives and needs of every person who is courageously reaching out for therapy.

I have over a decade of experience supporting families and individuals in the Waterloo Region in their personal and collective transformation. I work with difficult emotions that feel like they are taking control, relationship dynamics that are causing stress, problematic patterns in our lives as well as impactful life events. Together we can sort through the good and the bad.

Sometimes, we go through tough times like depression, anxiety, or trauma, and it can be easy to forget the strength and abilities we already possess, leaving us feeling like there’s no way out. Think of psychotherapy as the start of a journey toward better days, and the best part is, you won’t be taking this journey alone. Brendan will meet you right where you are in life so that together, you can work towards achieving realistic and meaningful life and health goals. Brendan has earned an Honors bachelor’s in psychology from the University of Windsor and a master’s in counselling psychology from Yorkville University.
