Years in practice: 16
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I am a registered Psychotherapist with a special interest in helping men who can get ‘stuck’ and struggle with transitions in life such as retirement from sport, losing a job, divorce, re-locating or simply helping you to figure out a purpose for what comes next. My approach is simple; non-judgmental, open and empathetic to client experiences. I take a broad perspective to understanding my client experiences and integrate historical information to formulating a plan to help clients resolve problems now. Depression, anxiety disorders, loneliness, anger and substance abuse are key areas that I specialize in.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Marriage and Family Therapist and Co-Founder of Relationship Matters Therapy Centre. The way I work with clients is very person-centred, and collaborative. I recognize how we do not live in isolation. We all live in the context of much larger systems and multiple relationships that inevitably have an impact on how we experience the world. I like to keep things fair, down-to-earth, respectful, and equitable while creating an anti-oppressive space with clients to talk about the things that really matter to you

Years in practice: 5
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I provide therapy for adults and youth struggling with depression, anxiety, symptoms of trauma, and feeling directionless and purposeless in life. Having previously worked as a journalist, janitor, construction worker and kids’ camp counsellor, I know what it’s like to take time finding your way in life. I also understand the stigma around receiving mental health services and strive to provide confidential counselling. I tend to use evidenced-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). I also employs a client-centred approach to therapy, prioritizing efficient and effective therapy.

MACP, Yorkville University
Years in practice: 2
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I work with men who are carrying more than they show, and who are tired of holding everything in just to get through the day. If you’re feeling burnt out, disconnected, overwhelmed by stress, or having trouble showing up in your relationships the way you want to, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep doing this silently.

My approach is straightforward, supportive, and focused on helping you understand what’s going on beneath the surface so you can get back to feeling like yourself again — not a different man, just a less overloaded one. In our work together, we slow things down enough for you to breathe, think clearly, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been in survival mode for too long.

I am part of the Kelowna Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310‬.

REMOTE ACROSS BC

Rim Yassine

MA, The University of Queensland
Years in practice: 11
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I work with adults—particularly men and queer/trans clients—who feel exhausted by coping alone, disconnected from themselves or others, or under pressure to “hold it together.”

My therapeutic approach is trauma‑informed, relational, and integrative. I draw from somatic therapy, attachment‑based work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and existential and narrative approaches.

Sessions are paced collaboratively, with close attention to nervous system regulation, safety, and consent. Rather than pushing for insight or change before readiness, the work unfolds in a grounded and steady way that supports lasting integration and deeper self‑trust.

I offer remote therapy across British Columbia and Ontario.
