Therapists in V3B
My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and holistic. I believe meaningful change begins with understanding yourself more deeply—your experiences, values, strengths, and patterns. Together, we can explore life’s challenges while helping you reconnect with your authentic self, clarify your goals, and move toward a life that feels more aligned, purposeful, and fulfilling. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel truly seen, heard, and understood.

I see guys who feel stuck—whether in addiction, trauma, stress, or major life transitions. They may struggle to express emotions, carry pressure to “handle it alone,” or feel disconnected from themselves and others. Many come from demanding professions such as first responders, the trades, or high-pressure office environments. They want practical support, a space to be honest without judgment, and tools to better manage stress, improve relationships, and build a stronger, more grounded version of himself.

My approach to counselling has always been grounded in the belief that true healing comes when we treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. From my own experiences and reflections in the mental health and substance use field, I recognized that many therapy models focus primarily on the mind, often neglecting the deep connection between our emotions, bodies, and spiritual well-being. This realization inspired me to pursue a more integrated approach to healing—one that acknowledges the importance of balancing all aspects of life. This holistic philosophy shapes the way I work with my clients.

I love to work with people with whom I can cultivate meaningful and supportive relationships. I have a passion for supporting children, teens, adults and seniors with neurodiversities. Also, as an immigrant, I have a deep compassion for new immigrants who are looking for support in adapting to life in Canada.
I hold both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree in Psychology oriented toward evidence-based therapies, neuropsychology, and research.
It is at the core of my beliefs that a holistic approach, where we consider family and relationships in a safe, non-judgmental space, is the most realistic and empathetic way to address issues.

You're starting to notice that you aren't coping with life so well. Maybe something big has happened lately, like a death, a break-up, or career shift. Maybe you don't know what changed, but you can tell something isn't working. Up until now you avoided it by staying busy and keeping distracted, but you're getting tired of feeling like you have a mask on, pretending you're fine when inside you know you're not okay. You are realizing can't keep this up much longer. You need help turning inward so you can figure out what to do. You don't want to be alone with this anymore.

My ideal clients are men who feel stuck, overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or unsure how to move forward. Many come to therapy because stress, relationships, confidence, anger, motivation, life transitions, or past experiences are starting to impact their daily life. At The Iron Mind Project, I help clients slow things down, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and build practical steps toward clarity, resilience, and meaningful change.

As a queer transfeminine counsellor, my aim is to provide counselling services to individuals who feel more safe, better understood, or better served by having a queer counsellor. Sometimes queer clients need queer counsellors. It can be an uncomfortable experience to feel misunderstood by your counsellor, or to have to educate them on what your identity means. This includes clients with LGBTQIA2S+ experience, clients struggling with issues relating to gender and sexuality, and anyone else who may prefer a queer counsellor for their own reasons. Once we start, we can talk about any of your problems, be they queer or otherwise.

You are human, which means you are complicated, full of contradictions, and probably carrying more than you let on. Maybe you feel stuck, in your thoughts, your relationships, your career, or just life in general. You might be a young adult navigating independence, a university student drowning in expectations, or a professional battling self-doubt and burnout. Maybe anxiety keeps you up at night, relationships feel more confusing than they should, or you're just exhausted by the weight of figuring everything out on your own. You don’t have to navigate this alone, let’s talk.

Many Latino clients come to me feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, stress, or relationship difficulties. You may be dealing with immigration stress, cultural pressure, loneliness, or the experience of living between two worlds.

I offer a warm, safe, and non‑judgmental space where you can speak freely, and feel genuinely heard.

Hello! My name Is Rebecca (she/they) :) I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor who offers counselling to fellow QTBIPOC folks including both adults and youth. I believe that therapy is inherently political and my approach emphasizes relationality as a reflection of that. Doing so is my attempt to reduce power dynamics, highlight interconnectedness, and prioritize building our shared trust, safety, and rapport. Whether you’re looking for support reactively (crisis management) or proactively (growth focused), I graciously welcome you to co-exist and share space with me.

We are living in extremely challenging times - witnessing the rise of fascism, genocides, war, displacement, and climate change. For BIPOC, LGBTQIA2S+, women, people with mental health issues, and others of marginalized identities, it is exhausting to exist in this colonial & capitalist world. These systems were not built for us. They constantly extract from us and undermine our worth. It is important to know that you matter and deserve to be heard in a space that does not blame you for not doing or being enough. I support people of marginalized identities & allies to process their grief, honour their rage, and heal their wounds.
