Anxiety has you exhausted as you are reminded each moment of everyday about how strongly your life has changed. Being consumed by anxiety, leaves you feeling overwhelmed with life. Fearful and on edge for when the next change will arrive in your life requiring you to adjust again. The stress feels fierce as it has impacted your daily life. It leads you to ruminate about what has happened, as you wish it was different. You're left feeling "stuck". Trapped in your thoughts, and feeling unsure how to overhaul your life. Just desiring a sense of peace in your mind is a starting point for you to seek change through therapy.

Online Only, Evening Availability - I love humanity and have a sincere passion for supporting all individuals as they journey through this complex and (often times) confusing thing we call life. I'm someone who doesn't take themselves too seriously and prides themselves on their humility. That said, I am the author of my own life and you are the author of yours and I allow this thought to inform my approach to therapy. I believe supporting someone means to 'meet them where they are at', without judgement and without an agenda.

Your little one is inconsolable. You've checked the diaper, fed them, they're warm but NOTHING is helping. You go for a hug, they push back and the crying turns into screaming. Then you feel it. Your patience is wearing thin. The anger is rising up. And that nagging voice gets louder, "You should know how to fix this. You're failing. A good mom would know what to do." This isn't the first time either. It's becoming a pattern and before you know it, you've turned into the mother you never wanted to be. This time with your little one is short and you feel like it's slipping away because your emotions are out of control.

As your therapist I believe you are the only expert about yourself and your life. I view therapy as a co-active partnership where the individual and the therapist work together towards the goals of the client. This does not mean that I cannot provide guidance and suggestions about what might be helpful. Therapy is ultimately about your individual needs and what you hope to achieve. I see my role as supporting you in exploring different ways of coping and achieving your potential.

"I just can't get over it!" Those words can mean you're struggling with trauma. The trauma might be from abuse, neglect, or having your life endangered. You might have tried other therapy, and it hasn't worked the way you had hoped. It's possible to change the way your past affects you.

Hi moms! You are feeling not quite yourself and are wondering where self care fits into your full schedule. Between the demands of parenting and balancing all your priorities you are feeling like you are losing yourself. Maybe you are going through a transition period of motherhood, managing post partum depression or a traumatic birth experience. You may be welcoming your first child or going from one to two little ones. Maybe you are back to work and juggling daycare. Wherever you find yourself in this season of mothering very young children, you are ready to calm the chaos and make intentional changes towards your goals.

Hi, I'm Matt. Sometimes we don’t know how to get to where we want. Sometimes we think we know, but just can’t seem to get started. It can all feel like too much and we can become overwhelmed. Our goals can seem just out of reach. At these times, what we might need is a little help and support. Counselling can help. No matter what your goals are, we can work towards them together. Counselling can be a way to rediscover your strengths, re-frame your past, and utilize your experience to move positively into the future. It is a place to get curious about why you are where you are, and explore what might be holding you back.

I became a social worker because "your life is worth my time.” This is something I live by as I value each and every client I have had the opportunity to work with. I always feel blessed to join clients on their journey towards healing and wellness, and it takes immense bravery to take that first step and reach out for help. I work hard to create an environment that fosters safety and growth, and approach my practice from a strengths-based, anti-racist, collaborative lens. I have also begun the process of becoming trained in Brainspotting and have completed Phases 1 and 2.

You want to connect with your child and feel more confident as a parent so you can enjoy one another again and support them on their journey to adulthood.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or postcode into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In Canada, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

What type of therapist is right for me?

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or province where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

How much does therapy cost?

Some forms of mental health treatment (for example, seeing a psychiatrist, or seeing a psychologist in a government-funded hospital) are free under provincial health plans. Canadians who seek private counseling can typically expect to pay an average of $150 per session, although the actual price generally ranges between $100 and $3200 per session, depending on their location and the type of provider they select. Workplace benefits or private insurance plans often provide an annual counselling allowance, and some therapists offer sliding scale fees to clients who cannot pay full price.
