Virtual Couples Therapy Practice for Ontario
Registered Social Worker, Evan, Wick, EdD, MSW, RSW
Verified
As a husband and father, I understand the challenges we can encounter in our most intimate circle. If you are willing to make this investment in couples therapy you want to know your therapist is devoted to the work. My virtual Ontario practice (Toronto based) is exclusive to couples. The pandemic made me realize it made less and less sense to limit my specialized couples practice to residents of Toronto when they were seeing me virtually anyway! Presenting issues couples may come to work with me on include: trauma; infidelity; communication; addiction; parenting; life stressors; sex and intimacy; ADHD; anxiety and depression.

We are not broken, just stuck. Sometimes the way we cope with emotional wounds, anxieties, and fears may in fact be detrimental to us, leaving us trapped by the same patterns in life. I depart from an attachment and trauma-informed perspective and place an emphasis on emotional regulation and experiential integration.

Hello there! Do you find yourself feeling tired, uninspired, disconnected from others, often feeling worried about anything or everything? Or perhaps you notice yourself turning to substance use to manage tough feelings? If you find yourself relating to any of these experiences, you aren’t alone, and you definitely don’t have to go through it alone.

My clients come to me because they are caught in a rut, whether it's through a depressive episode, anxiety, or major life transitions (separation, job loss, etc). Being truly heard and understood is the first step to healing and that is my primary goal. Through our work together, clients find themselves better able to identify and change unwanted patterns in their lives, and are able to understand and value themselves more as human beings. My clients leave therapy empowered with better self-awareness, acceptance and the proper tools to cope better in their lives.

Do you ever wonder why you are so anxious? Are you struggling to identify the source of your depression?

Currently accepting new clients! I offer a free 20 min. video or phone consultation for new clients. I utilize a relational psychodynamic approach in working with clients in order to facilitate change and achieve the the best therapeutic outcomes. I strongly believe empathy and compassion are key components in the success of the therapeutic process, and I always offer a space where clients can feel heard, secure and validated. At the same time, I believe that through a relational approach, clients can gain profound insight into unconscious relationship patterns.

I specialize in therapy for narcissistic abuse! Do you feel confused, doubt yourself and question your needs? Do you feel dismissed, invalidated, and uncared for in one or more of your important relationships? Are your feelings negated, minimized and you make yourself small to accommodate the other person’s unreasonable demands? You may be on the receiving end of a narcissistic abuse. Narcissistic abuse can lead to anxiety, depression and pervasive feelings of shame and self blame. Misuse of substances is often a maladaptive coping mechanism in the attempt to deal with constant emotional abuse, gaslighting and manipulation.

If changing your relationship with alcohol and/or other drugs is a challenge, you do not need to figure it out alone. I provide individual counselling designed to support you in being able to reduce the negative impacts of substance use, and increase your quality of life. I work within a compassionate, trauma-informed, harm reduction approach. Even if your goal is complete abstinence, when we work within a harm reduction approach, it means that we work collaboratively, we acknowledge benefits of substance use, and we focus on your strengths which all lead to creating sustainable change. Currently providing phone and video sessions.
