Some people are surprised to learn that trauma is all around us. Trauma can happen with physical, sexual or emotional abuse in addition to childhood neglect, racism, discrimination and oppression. People can also feel traumatized during childbirth, loss of life, career and major life changes, as well as divorce, bullying and rejection.

Therapy can be hard work but it doesn’t have to be intimidating. My greatest goal as a therapist is to create a safe space to nurture a judgement free relationship. Whether you are new to counselling or ready for a refresh, let’s investigate what is and is not working for YOU. Working in the Neurodivergent community for over ten years has taught me the importance of collaboration, patience, and compassion towards other and ourselves. In smaller communities, it may feel daunting to discuss things openly, virtual and telephone services can provide an extra level of confidence as we can work together without sharing a postal code!

The different seasons of life come with different challenges, emotions & experiences. As we venture through the different seasons of life, we can be left with a series of questions. Maybe you are asking yourself, “How did I get here?” or “What now?”. Maybe your not sure how you feel and are overwhelmed with emotions and want to see life more clear. Whatever season of life you are going through, I want to walk beside you. As your therapist, I want you to feel a sense of safety & security when working with me & that our time together is meaningful. I believe that therapy can offer a time of healing and where hope can be found.

I am currently accepting new clients and look forward to connecting with you! I come to this field, first, as a fellow human being who appreciates struggles, unknowns, and challenges. My approach to therapy is highly collaborative and interactive. It's about you, your life, your goals and how I can be a strong, skillful support to help you navigate whatever you are facing. Together, we will explore not just hopes, ideas, and dreams, but also the demons, fears, confusion and dark spaces we all wrestle with. In these spaces we peel back the layers to uncover and honour our deepest truths. There will be tears and lots of laughter too.

Hi, my name is Brian and I am a Registered Social Worker . After quitting my job in a factory, I went back to school and got my Master degree in Social Work. I have been in the helping field for over 15 years working with people who struggle with mental health, additions, and relationship issues. Most people know me for my humor, and my ability to get to the “nuts and bolts” of the situation. I work at The Couples Clinic and offer couples therapy to people who are struggling in their relationship- whether they are trying to rebuild it, or thinking of ending it. However, much of my work is with individuals.

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.
