I believe in using our Diversity as an instrument to support people in their growth, rather than as a weapon to hurt ourselves and others. Therefore, I am committed to providing a respectful, safe, and welcoming space regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, socioeconomic condition, disability, or religion.
I bring different theoretical approaches to my practice, such as Psychoanalysis, Family Dynamics Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focus Therapy (CFT) and Traditional Indigenous Cultural practices. Services in English and Spanish, in-person or video sessions, and a sliding scale as needed.

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 therapy offers a safe space to explore your concerns from depression, anxiety, fulfillment, motivation, substance use, sexuality, gender, neurodivergence, learning challenges, disability, creativity, relationships and others. Sessions use a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Social Constructivist and Somatic and Mindful approaches to get to your unique story, and make you the author of your own story.

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 believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives, and have within them everything they need in order to make positive change in their lives, but sometimes we need someone to come alongside us and help us get there.
By looking through the past and present, by exploring and processing thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, we can identify the areas of distress and find meaningful ways to better engage with ourselves, our relationships, and our environment.
I have a relational approach to counselling and I comfortably draw from a variety of modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion Focused, and Mindfulness. I have experience with anxiety and depression, grief, trauma, and addiction.

I believe we all have the ability to work through our own struggles when provided with a safe nonjudgemental space to process thoughts, emotions and memories. I aim to provide that space to people as I have benefited from that process myself over the years. I don’t believe I’m an expert in anyone else’s life but I have expertise in listening, asking questions and helping people tolerate and regulate difficult emotions and thoughts. I have struggled in the past myself and know that a good therapist can make a huge difference, so I strive to be that therapist for others.

Mr. John Flesher

I was a police officer for 30 years and dealt with my own struggles, including ptsd and depression. My Master’s Degree helped me to heal and learned to help others in more effective ways. I work at numerous modalities, but strength-based and solution focused therapies are most frequently requested and used effectively. CBT, DBT, Choice and Reality Therapies for anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and anger issues are areas of strength of application.

Mr. Robert Davies
Mr. Robert Davies
We are all equipped to defeat our depression, anxiety and anger; however sometimes we get ‘stuck’ and need a counselling therapist to help us get ‘unstuck’. It is possible to find self-therapy such as TEAM CBT therapy to help us get ‘unstuck’. We need a therapy that we can take home, to take to work with us and into our relationships. We want a therapy with techniques we can apply to gain mastery over our thoughts. We want a therapy to help us push through any beliefs and attitudes that are stopping us from growing. Most of all, we need a therapy to stop the seeemingly endless pain and a therapist that can teach us how. A TEAM CBT therapist in team with you, the client, can do just that.
