Men's Issues Therapists in London, ON

Are you feeling disconnected to yourself, loved ones, or society? Do you question whether you are a good father, son, or partner? Do you feel angry, stuck, overwhelmed, powerless, guilty, or "not normal". Many men struggle with their mental health without seeking help or reaching out for support. Often, this struggle may lead to addiction, anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, suicidal ideation, poor relationships, grief, low self-esteem, or low self-worth. First Step Men's Therapy offers a safe, warm, and inviting space for men to heal, learn, and grow. You are not alone, and we are here to help support you on your journey.

Sometimes men are great at pretending everything's fine – even when life is falling apart. Trying to carry the weight of the world all by yourself is a sure path to depression, anger issues, self-medicating, lashing out, and increased stress and physical symptoms. Whether you're trying to figure out what your partner wants (what does she mean by "communicate better" anyway?), or you're needing to talk through personal, work, or family issues, I can help you get to a better place. If you're worried that you're the only one, don't. There is literally nothing you can tell me that I haven't heard or worked with before.

In a world that is becoming increasingly complicated every day, therapy is a safe space away from the pressures of daily life where you can explore your concerns without judgement. My aim as a therapist is to create an environment where I can support you in exploring what is bothering you and we can work as a team to find solutions that are tailored to your unique story and circumstances. I draw from a range of therapies but my main guiding principles come from a strengths-based perspective. I believe above all that YOU are the expert in your own life and that I am merely here to help you on your road to self-actualization.

My main role as your counsellor is to support you through difficult times and challenges, while helping you achieve optimal psychological and emotional health and well being. As your “co-pilot” on this journey, I bring to the “cockpit”: clinical training and experience with a broad range of issues and treatment approaches. I am comfortable with people of all cultures, orientations and spiritual and/or religious backgrounds. Certified by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, I provide counselling and therapy using an integrative approach, weaving together various methods to suit your unique needs. I enjoy working collaboratively with you in a non-judgmental way, embracing your strengths, unique characteristics, values, and insights as we strive together to determine direction and pace. In addition to my clinical training I bring several years experience as a public educator and volunteer youth leader to the table. I believe this experience helps me build rapport with clients aged 12 - adult.

ReVision Counselling & Consulting seeks to provide counselling and therapy services to those individuals who have recognized the need for help or who desire change in their life. They may have teenagers who they know are in crisis but they cannot reach. They may need help to reconnect with their partner and create the kind of relationship that can withstand the stressors of this world. They may need to process trauma or difficulty in order to live their best life. In short, they have a vision for what life could be and know they need help to get there.

I believe we all dream to live lives of more and lives of less. More: happiness, peace, joy, health, achieving meaningful goals, and joy in relationships. The opposite is also true, we seek lives with less. Less: stress, illness, negativity, pain, bad relationship habits, trauma, anger, and disconnection. Are you one of millions of 1st generation Canadians trapped between 2 worlds? Is it time to create your own life? Do you experience Anxiety, depression, maternal loss/fertility struggles, growing up "fine but feeling empty", or loveless parenting--all of which can hold you back or instill panic. Small steps can feel overwhelming.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Frustrated? Weighed down by your emotions, and the stress of day-to-day life? Maybe you are facing challenges in your relationships, stress from work or home, problems from the past that just don’t seem to be getting resolved, or new challenges, like the loss of a loved one or fears about the future. Often our journey to seek counselling comes after we have tried all our go-to methods for coping, but they just don’t seem to be working anymore. You’re feeling stuck or blocked from what matters to you, and you are ready to try something different. If this is where you are, I'm glad you're seeking support.

Every person has the capacity for growth and change, and together we can work to form goals to help you meet your full potential. This could mean that you are looking to develop skills and new abilities to support yourself, or perhaps you want to understand your life on a deeper level. Exploring your internal world, such as your thoughts, emotions, past experiences and values, is an important part of our work, including your beliefs about your life and the world. During our time together, we work as a partnership to develop new insights which can alleviate difficult thoughts, cohere your identity and enhance your life.

I believe that our lives are best lived with a sense of purpose, and my purpose is to be of service to others. As such I work with people to help support them in identifying and addressing their challenges and assist them with being present in their lives. I am grateful to work with: First Responders addressing work, incurred trauma and personal issues related to their service. Persons who identify as part of the LGBTQ +, Kink and ENM communities in a culturally sensitive and sex positive environment. An important focus of my practice is working with men regarding their sexual health/functioning. Especially post cancer diagnosis.

Most of us men have been taught that we have to manage things by ourselves. To hide our feelings. Or we don't have feelings. Guess what that leads to? Anger, irritability, relationship issues, work problems, and trouble connecting with our kids, friends, and partners. Maybe drinking too much and checking out, too. Or cheating on our partner, because it's easier than trying to figure out what's going on at home. Maybe you don't even realize how bad things have gotten until your partner tells you that you "can't communicate", you're messing up, and now you have no idea what to do and you're defensive and confused.

As a clinical Social Worker, I provide a safe space for individuals to open up about their challenges, utilizing a variety of therapeutic strategies and interventions to help elevate people's lives so they can have better opportunities to live an authentic and fulfilling life. My lived experiences are incorporated into my clinical work to support others in connecting “head to heart” in challenging and dismantling the many social constructs people often feel they need to uphold. As you begin to lean into the vulnerability of speaking your truth, the awakening journey begins.

Over the past 23 years I have specialized in working with individuals (adults and youth, male and female) who have done something of a sexual nature that has gotten them into trouble, or have engaged in violent behaviour towards their intimate partner. I also support families with safety planning. I am a qualified expert in Criminal, Family, and Superior court to conduct risk assessments for individuals who have committed a sexual based offence, as well provide the courts with recommendations for treatment options for those individuals. I am also specialized in working with clients suffering with anger management issues.

I specialize in working with adults, children, and teens who are struggling with Neurodiversity, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, stress, and school or work difficulties. I enjoy working with families, children, teens and adults, who have FASD or are on the Autism Spectrum Disorder as well as ADHD . I also work with men who have difficulty with anger that impact their work, relationships, and daily lives to help them understand what's going on and how to make changes that actually work. Life is hard enough, dealing with our personal stuff can make it harder. I'm here to listen without judgment, and help you do you.

Each of us goes through storms in our lives and some need assistance in moving beyond these storms. Whether you struggle with anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, or are a trauma survivor, there is hope. These difficult periods can become opportunities for growth as you learn to weather these storms in ways that promote resilience, health, and wellness. My aim is to have the privilege of walking alongside you during these periods of time, to hear your story, and to assist you in healing and moving forward.

There are times in a person's life when they reach an interior impasse. For any number of reasons, the realization gradually dawns on them that their inner freedom has been compromised and there is no clear understanding why. Often, this takes place in the context of relationship, whether with their spouse, family, friends or colleagues. While a family physician, social worker or another health professional can and do help, sometimes what is also needed is the help of a psychotherapist trained and certified in the art and science of talk therapy, the bedrock of all psychotherapy models. It can be the key to change and inner freedom.
