Male Therapists in North York, ON

Working with survivors of trauma or PTSD, I help people who have struggled with a painful past. In Toronto, practicing for over 25 years, using a trauma-focused approach, I work with individuals and families struggling with interpersonal trauma or PTSD, difficult family relationships, or those in high distress from loss & grief, or people trying to cope with eating disorders, anxiety, or emotional pain.

The decision to begin therapy is one that takes courage. I want to commend you on taking this first step and searching for someone that can help. I am a registered Social Worker and have been working in Private Practice for 12 years. My practice is focused on individuals in the LGBTQ2S+ Community of all genders and cis-gender boys and men in all stages of life who are exploring their mental health and relationships. I work with clients that are dealing with: mental health, anxiety depression, coming out sexual and gender identity, ADHD, learning disabilities, life skills parenting issues, life stages and changes

I recognize and honour the powerful role that the mind plays in health and healing. I am a Registered Psychotherapist and have been working in the field for 15 years. I specialize in couple-based therapy and also work with individuals. My approach with clients is by listening attentively, developing a therapeutic alliance, empathy, and support without judgment. In my years as a therapist, I have been considered a very effective therapeutic partner with clients in sessions. I genuinely like helping people and seeing clients evolve and heal!

Accepting New Clients: Are you a person of color struggling to find a therapist who understands the impact of your unique cultural experiences on your mental health and well-being? Are you experiencing anxiety, depression, or trauma related to systemic oppression and discrimination? Do you need a safe and supportive environment to explore your challenges and strengths with a therapist who recognizes cultural trauma and can provide personalized care?

I provide psychotherapy which is grounded on listening and understanding. There is much for me to hear before I get the full picture of what is going on in your life, and lots to discover for you and me together before the time comes for my expert advice. My main discovery of the last decade is that people can come to many therapists, for many times and yet not become ready ever to say openly what is the matter. It is why I know my clients need time to assume that I am really on their side. To figure out, bit by bit, what the possible advice or solution can be and then help you to do that we decide to do, I have my basic training in client-centered psychotherapy (“by Carl Rogers”), and I am a very, very orthodox Rogerian therapist. In addition, I have studied cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectic-behavioral therapy, music psychotherapy and non-directive child play psychotherapy. I will apply in your situation that which matches your particular needs. Also, I realized that some ideas of psychoanalysis, Adlerian psychotherapy, Existential therapy and Logotherapy can be helpful as well.

For more than 10 years I have been supporting individuals who struggle with Mental Health in the GTA's top Hospitals. I am a Registered Social Worker who continues to work in the Children and Adolescent Outpatient Mental Health Program at North York General Hospital. I work with Children, Teens, & Adults who struggle with Anxiety, Depression, OCD, and behavioural issues. I have over a decade of experience working with children, adults and families with mental health in the Emergency Departments of North York General Hospital, Sunny Brook Hospital, & Scarborough Grace Hospital.

I have had the privilege of working with the adolescent and young adult population for over 20 years. Through these years I have gained the keen understanding of the ever-changing challenges and needs of this population. My extensive experience gives me the edge in working with adolescents and families who are struggling with all sorts of issues. I have been blessed with the opportunity of helping hundreds of individuals and families deal with and overcome their struggles and regain control of their lives. I am also trained in EFT marraige counseling - enhancing relationships and enriching lives.

In the beginning stages of our therapeutic relationship, I strive to learn and understand who you are and where you’re coming from in order to better define your goals and aspirations together.

We're born into a world of stories about reality and about us. Our friends and our parents tell them to us. School, work and media tell them to us. And we start telling them to ourselves. In a time of mass media deception, false role models, unreal images, and dysfunctional families, our inner truth gets more and more hidden. The re-discovery of who we are is crucial for living a meaningful life. In Groundwork we become co-coonspirators in finding the real story about you, finding the authentic grounds of your existence, and helping you choose to be real.

Do you or someone you love struggle with alcoholism, drug addiction or compulsive sexual behaviors? If your answer is yes, you are not alone. Whether you are still active in your addiction, already in recovery, recently relapsed or dealing with the anguish of having an addict in your family, you are facing profound difficulties. No matter what the addiction-alcohol, drugs, prescription meds, sex, or gambling-its effects are devastating. I can help. These addictions destroy lives and families, who too often continue enabling behaviors that fuel the addiction.

Anyone of us can struggle with our mental health. It can be difficult having to deal with your struggles on your own. Speaking to a therapist about Anxiety, Depression, couples issues and even family issues can be a helpful tool in your own healing journey. Many of us have felt like we were unable to talk to someone out of fear of judgement from others. You may have even told someone about what you were going through and your experiences have been minimized or ignored. Therapy is a safe place you can talk about your struggles without fear of judgement.

If there is a magic word for change, it is resilience. Resilience is the capacity to grow despite misfortune, gaining strength from challenges rather than surrendering to them. It really is a vital life-skill and the best news is that resilience can be learned! That's a bonus, given that we cannot have complete control of our lives. Observing the positive effects of such resilience, I became more interested in helping others gain this capacity. There really is nobody quite like you and my task is to work with your individuality. This is why I focus on building your future strength. https://www.centrepsychotherapy.ca/
