Sometimes a person has thoughts, feelings, or beliefs that are distressing, or they do things that they don't understand and don't like. These things make their life difficult. My focus is on how the past affects the present, even if a person can't see the connection. I understand that while situations feel hopeless, there are ways to use what we know of the science of the brain to find new options. Having worked in community mental health for several years, I'm familiar with the psychiatric diagnoses, including borderline personality disorder. I use a client-centred focus, and feel strongly that criticism has no place in therapy.

I am an Indigenous elder. I have helped people with problems related to drug and alcohol addiction for over 40 years. I went back to school when I was age 44 and got a doctorate today. I wrote a book on the 12 Indigenous Steps to Sobriety that is available on Amazon.ca. I believe in living like my ancestors did for tens of thousands of years and I still do today. I know first hand what drugs and alcohol does to a person. There is hope and you can quit drugs and alcohol and have a sober life.

I am currently accepting new clients and look forward to connecting with you. I have spent the past eight years working with children, adolescents, and adults struggling with complex special needs. Spending this front-line time in social services allowed me to see the connection between unresolved trauma and life challenges. A quote that has always resonated with me is “Instead of saying “I’m damaged, I’m broken, I have trust issues.” I say, “I’m healing, I’m rediscovering myself, I’m starting over.”- Horacio Jones. Your difficulties don’t have to be a life sentence. With the right guidance you can turn the page and begin anew.

Mindset matters. It plays an important role, influencing our emotions and behaviours. What messages are you sending yourself about your life? Your capabilities? In what ways is current stress or past trauma impacting your mental and physical health? You may be living with anxiety or depression. You may be feeling limited by low self-esteem or find yourself repeating patterns that don’t serve you anymore. You may be grieving a loss of relationship or stability in your life. Alternatively, maybe you want to make changes, but feel fearful to take a leap, or you’d like to set new goals with the help of a therapist in your corner.

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, 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 state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been 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 $300 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.
