Many clients find curiosity, compassion, and communication to be useful tools in making this change.
I would like to help you. You may be struggling and stuck. You may have lost connection to a loved one. You may be grappling with who you are and who you want to be. As a child of two psychotherapists, I was introduced to mental health and relationship growth at a young age. I learned to use a variety of evidence-based therapy techniques with individuals and couples that help to facilitate change and understanding. When things are hard, staying steady takes a tremendous amount of energy and finding a way out may feel impossible. My goal is to assist you in finding your path to change.

Imagine finding a way to manage your stress, anxiety, or frustration so that it does not feel like it controls you.
Has work stress been keeping you up at night? Do you feel stuck, frustrated, and drained? What about your relationships? Are you feeling sad, anxious, or unsure? Have you gone through a recent life transition, such as leaving for post-secondary, a job change, or retirement? Perhaps you’ve endured the loss of a loved one or a special pet. Maybe you have a health issue, or are a senior, trying to navigate the loss of some functionality. Or are you someone who has struggled with sharing something from your past and feel that it may be time to discuss it?

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.
