Men's Issues Therapists in Thunder Bay, ON

Hello, I'm Emma! Thanks for stopping by my profile. Are you and your partner struggling with communication issues, pregnancy/infant loss, intimacy, or fostering trust? Perhaps you are a neurodivergent individual who wants someone to help guide you in the day-to-day. Maybe you are a man trying to find a safe space to pursue mental health services... Who ever you are, my aim is to provide a secure environment for us to collaborate and guide you without judgment. Together, we'll tackle life's challenges to help you become your desired self!

Not feeling yourself? Are you confronting a struggle that feels bigger than you are, or maybe feel like you are just about "done"? Have you wondered if life could be better or thought that you are somehow missing out? It is not uncommon for people to feel anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about life, relationships or careers, but the good news is you don't need to remain stuck with these feelings. Allowing yourself some time and opportunity to attend to your needs can make all the difference and become life changing. If you were to ask me why you should begin therapy, my answer would be, "Because you are worth it!"

You’re a man who pushes through, keeps things in, and exploring emotions and feelings is for other people. You’re just not good with the emotional stuff. You’re starting to see that this hard-shell, outwardly confident self is getting in the way of relationships. You’re either completely keeping your stress inside or leaning too heavily on your partner to vent. This leads to either shutting yourself away for a while or exploding with anger and frustration (sometimes both). You care so so deeply for your important people and you want to be with them without irritation brewing underneath.

My clients are often…1) Individuals struggling with anxiety, racing thoughts, and high stress, 2) Young professionals navigating the stressors of life transitions, relationship issues or family drama, the weirdness of being in their 20’s & early 30’s, all whilst trying to build their career and find success, 3) Men of all ages navigating relationship issues, anxiety, career change or other stressors, 4) individuals who struggle to set boundaries, articulating their needs or building confidence and 5) those looking for a therapist that doesn’t feel stuffy, formal or daunting - someone they can be comfortable with and

People come to me because they want to feel relief from suffering; happiness, joy, ease, confidence, connection, and clarity. I work mainly with professionals in healthcare, emergency services, social services, education, energy/body work, and Indigenous services; however, all are welcome to inquire. I understand the unique needs of individuals working in helping professions and the health and relational consequences of chronically stressful workloads and systemic oppression. It can be difficult to find the “right” therapist for those working in such specialized fields. Please reach out and let's see how I might support you.

We help people who are struggling with the disconnect between how things are and how things should be. We understand the isolation that comes with feeling misunderstood and we help to cultivate insight and acceptance with a healthy dose of strategy and skills to rebuild one's sense of control, and to move forward feeling lighter and more connected with the world.

Are you overwhelmed managing family stressors, couple conflict or struggling as a parent? Experiencing feelings of depression, anxiety or anger? Current crisis or life changing events or decisions? Work-Life balance? Please allow me the opportunity to work with you to overcome these difficulties. My 30 years experience working in the mental health field, both as a clinical therapist, as well as, providing clinical supervision to mental health practitioners underpins a strong, therapeutic foundation to aid in assisting you to overcome personal and relationship struggles.

Life has endless challenges for children, youth and young adults these days. Issues that previous generations didn't even need to think about are now part of every day life for younger generations - cyberbullying, worries about school safety, increased rates of mental health struggles, societal conversations about gender and sexuality... On top of that are the issues that have plagued youth for generations - stress, school, dating, friends, and numerous other issues to wade through day by day. Sometimes it's hard to cope with these things on our own though, and that's where I come in.

Living with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma, addictions, dysfunctional relationships, lack of boundaries, stress, limiting beliefs - to name a few, can significantly impact our mental well being. Many individuals want to experience freedom and security in their lives. However, particular obstacles often hinder our ability to achieve the life we truly desire. If you are resonating with this I want you to know that you're not alone, and full support is available to you!
