Alexander Cahuas
Alexander Cahuas
I am a counselor and registered personal trainer who can combine mental health counseling with physical well-being. Our sessions will begin around understanding your present environment- what do we want to keep and what can we let go of. Next, what are you willing to try for your future as well as what has happened in your past. I combine my understanding of clinical practice philosophies (CBT, DBT, Narrative Therapy) with Indigenous mental health perspectives and strategies. I believe well-being is a practice. To sustain and nurture this practice does take some practice and help. My role is to hear where you are at, provide alternative perspectives on challenges, and provide potential solutions we can practice.

Mr Douglas Matear
“Clients are the experts of their own lives, and wellness is not a state of being, but a state of action.”
Douglas Louis Matear is a long-time practitioner of EMDR but uses a variety of approaches that best suit the needs of his clients. His diverse work and life experiences suit him well in navigating difficult conversations. Early childhood trauma, the impact of abuse, anxiety, depression, and an anti-deficit frame are at the core of his work. Cross-cultural sensitivity and being a member of the LGBTQIA2P+ community have enriched his therapeutic approaches. He is further interested in stress reduction, mindfulness, the importance of exercise, and coaching clients to be the best they can be.

I have over 20 years experience primarily in mental health & substance use. My style can be described as: a positive, down to earth, relaxed & commonsensical ‘blue-collar’ type. After years of doing the ‘tried & true’, I am interested in doing something new. So my current focus is on men’s health & psychedelics.

Mr. Grant M. Waldman

Due to my own inter-generational trauma, I have been supporting men’s wellness for over 20 years. I have also been supporting Indigenous clients for over 10 years. More recently, in my work as Wellness Counsellor & Facilitator at Round Lake Treatment Centre, I have been specifically supporting Indigenous clients who have experienced inter-generational trauma (cultural, sexual, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual abuses, neglect, abandonment, shame, and grief & loss). As a result, my clients present with addiction, anxiety, depression, isolation, self-harm/suicide ideation, anger, and other co-occurring disorders.

I have significant experience working with men, and have developed a real sensitivity and empathy for the struggle many men face in opening up about, and making sense of their emotions. I believe we all have different ways of expressing ourselves and that using emotional language is not the only – or the correct – way to navigate our experience and relationships. If you are worried about being constantly asked how you feel, or about long awkward silences in the therapy room, that’s not what you will find here. I use humour, directness, prompts, helpful strategies, and most importantly, I work alongside you in a very human and engaged way. Our sessions will be collaborative and lead by what feels helpful to you.

I have been providing counselling support to men living with depression, anxiety, PTSD, addictions, sleep, chronic pain, and relationship issues since 2010. I provide individual therapy using a variety of modalities including cognitive behavioural, strengths-based, and trauma-informed therapies that honor your strengths and experiences. I work with many veterans and current military members. I offer a variety of specialized therapies empirically validated to treat trauma. Many of my clients are dealing with and learning to manage chronic pain.

It’s tough to be a man. I know. I’ve been one all of my life. Whether it be emotional or sexual intimacy issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem and the over-reliance on career, substances, money or sex, men can get lost in a thousand different ways. For 36 years now I have been counselling men and know this territory inside and out.

Seeking counseling can be a challenging process and it’s important to work with a therapist that is the right fit for you. I thrive in working with individuals feeling overwhelmed, wanting relief, or seeking a deeper understanding of themselves. I primarily focus on mood, trauma and stress-related disorders such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, identity, self-esteem, and the effects of childhood abuse or neglect. During sessions, I often draw from CBT, mindfulness, attachment and neuroscience. The decision to look for a counselor often comes at a time of crisis. I understand and accept that it is my job to build your trust and create a space for you to process experiences, challenge barriers, and reclaim your story.

My practice specializes in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic illness or cancer, ADHD, grief, and major life transitions, including the shift into adulthood and evolving family dynamics. I recognize that our identities and personal narratives are shaped by lived experiences—challenges, traumas, and milestones that influence our resilience and self-perception. By exploring these influences, we can foster personal growth and meaningful transformation.

My approach typically includes managing current symptoms and addressing underlying causes. Interpersonal patterns are often at the heart of depression, so our work together may include a focus on improving relationships with family, friends, co-workers, and others. Remote therapy only.

Compassion and straightforwardness make up the cornerstone of how I work. As a counsellor, my goal is to help people recognise where they are, how they got there, and assist them in building a path forward.
I have been a counsellor since 2003 and hold a Masters of Education with a speciality in counselling. I am registered to provide counselling services for the First Nations Health Authority. You may be eligible for reimbursement of counselling services if you have a benefits package through your employer. Please check with them to see if you qualify.
I offer a complimentary telephone consultation so that we can determine if working together would be a good fit for you.

When talking is hard, I use a trauma-informed approach and EFT lens to support my clients. I use EMDR, Somatics, EFT and mindfulness in my work along with CBT and DBT so that my male clients are able to feel safe to express their emotions and challenge the stigma around mental health.

I’m a Family Systems Therapist who has been in practice since 1988. I work with men from a family of origin or a family systems approach. This means, in part, that I think of men and their emotional functioning within a systems framework. I think about how their sense of themselves, and their emotional function has been shaped by the relational dynamic of their friends and family, past and present. This then contributes to emotional health symptoms like depression.
