Brent Hayter

There are times in life when each one of us will encounter challenges or difficult situations. In those times, it takes courage to reach out and ask for help, but we are all in this together, and there is help here. Being of service to another human being and finding a way to help is a privilege I am grateful for whenever it is presented to me. My goal is to do just that, to help my clients find a way to work through the challenges of life in a way that best suits who they are in a safe, non-judgmental and collaborative approach. You already have everything you need to be happy and overcome the obstacles life has put in your way. My job is to help you discover and develop those strengths.

Danica Heidebrecht

In my practice, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of men from top performers and working professionals and leaders, to post-secondary students, artists and sensitive souls facing a variety of life’s challenges. I have a particular empathy for the unique challenges and pressures that many men face these days. As a counselling psychologist, I can help you recognize any unhealthy patterns/dynamics that might not be serving you, and help you learn ways of addressing these to support greater wellbeing and satisfaction in your life.

Sarah Lally

I adopt a relational developmental framework to counselling, applying a trauma informed and anti-oppressive lens. My focus is on creating a warm, secure and trusting environment where you feel supported and seen. My instinct is to be curious about the impact of family, culture, community, religion, institutions and social norms on our development and relationships to ourselves, others and the world around us. The impact of these systems can be deep seated, like the roots of a tree. I am a warm, genuine, compassionate, curious and non-judgemental person. I love to laugh, I truly believe in the power of humour to connect us and lighten the shadows.

Zain Abideen

I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where men can work through challenges with relationships, stress, anger, and personal growth. My approach is trauma-informed, blending evidence-based techniques like CBT and DBT with a practical, client-centered focus to help you build resilience and emotional balance.

I aim to help clients uncover the root of their struggles while developing tools to navigate life with greater confidence and clarity.

Jess Rathwell

I use warmth, humour, and emotional capacity to support people who are coping with challenges, overwhelm, grief and mental health concerns. I bring a compassion that allows folks to feel understood, respected, and that they are having a genuinely authentic conversation. Having worked in hospitals, prisons, public health, and other diverse settings, I bring an expansive tool kit of ways to support whatever hopes and goals you have for counselling.

Sebastian Wingfield

Beyond my master’s degree in counselling psychology, I have extensive training as an existential therapist and integrate elements of humanistic, psychodynamic, and contemporary cognitive-behavioral therapy techniques in my work to form an individualized treatment plan that is co-authored with the client.

Harrison Orpe

Welcoming men, women, and teen clients, I focus on helping them discover, or re-discover, their own joy and meaning in life while equipping them with the tools to sustain it. I use an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy-based approach while drawing on other techniques including Existential Theory, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, and DBT. With a genuine passion for helping others live their most fulfilled lives, I am committed to guiding clients toward greater self-understanding, resilience, and emotional well-being. My other passion is high-level athletes and sports performance psychology. I also offer Psychoeducational Assessments for children and adults as well as Adult ADHD Assessments. You deserve to find joy every day.

Brad Wilton

Imagine waking up each day with a clear sense of purpose. Imagine acting with conviction in the face of difficult decisions. Whether it’s a single session check-in or the beginning of a therapeutic journey, my goal is to equip you with a better connection with yourself and the people you care about, so you can have deeper, more authentic relationships.

Patricia Dekowny

I get that talking about what’s going on isn’t always easy, especially if you’re used to handling things yourself. I offer a down to earth, no pressure space where we focus on what matters most to you. No lectures or jargon just honest conversation, humour and practical tools that actually help.
