Are you a First Responder or a Veteran navigating civvy street? Whether you served in the Military or are a Firefighter, Paramedic, or Police Officer, no one is immune to the stresses of service. For those without this experience, connecting meaningfully can be tough. For me, cultural competency means more than just recognizing your service—it’s about personal experience in uniform.

Please visit my website to book a free initial consultation at www.hamiltonpsychologist.com. I have extensive experience dealing with clients who feel unsatisfied about themselves or their lives and might be limiting or sabotaging their relationships, their work or even their friendships. This, in turn, might be leading them to feelings of sadness, a lack of motivation, feeling overwhelmed, angry, anxious, panicky, irritable, or even trouble with sleep. Most times, no matter how they try, they can't seem to figure out how to change these difficulties. It's not because they don't want to! I offer a free initial consultation.

Hi! I'm Zeb and I work with children, youth and their caregivers. I understand that when a young person is experiencing emotional or behavioural problems it reorganizes the way that a whole family functions. I believe that better understanding our own emotions and the emotions of others is the key to helping make positive change in the lives of children and families.

Life transitions (relationships, grief, work health and more) can shake our sense of self in many ways. I am here with you to navigate them with grace and agency. To help understand and move towards the life that you desire and the person you want to be. Alone-ness leads to suffering and together-ness leads to the ability to meet what your life asks of you. I am here with you in that process. Trauma, relationships and learning (trauma, habits, relational patterns) are key to our sense of self, and play a critical role in the therapeutic process.

My goal every day is to offer a supportive, practical approach to therapy. Throughout my career, I’ve tended to work primarily with people who have mood or anxiety difficulties. Some are undergoing or have undergone significant life transitions such as grief from loss. Others come to me for guidance around work-related stress or burnout. And others wish to examine the patterns and practices around their substance use.

Are you facing a life transition and need help managing stress, uncertainty, and conflicts? Life's journey is full of transitions, some smooth and others challenging. Change, even when it's planned and exciting, adds new stress which can bring up old wounds and unhealthy relationship patterns. As a psychotherapist with lots of life experience, I provide support through career changes, relocation, divorce, parenting milestones, illness, or personal growth challenges. I work with individuals and couples navigating frequent arguments or different communication styles. It's possible to emerge from this with confidence and resilience.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
