I have been working with adult individuals and couples for over 10 years now. My practice focuses on existential humanistic therapy, compassionate counselling for those suffering grief, loss, pain, and isolation. Ultimately, the main goal is to discover one’s meaning and develop it to build more strength and confidence to achieve other goals. Many of my clients are men suffering depression, some even contemplating suicide. I use cognitive behavioural therapy to assist them in analyzing and coordinating their thoughts, behaviours, and actions into more effective and satisfying lives. I work online and by telephone with Canadian clients in British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, as well as the Territories. Remote therapy only.

Men need better mental health support.

The weight of responsibility and lack of support can cause men to tough it out, leading to internal struggles and unaddressed mental health issues.

At The Stigman Group we address head-on the stigma surrounding men’s mental health – for men, by men.

We believe that strong, capable men are essential for a thriving society. By providing tailored support and empowering men to prioritize their mental well-being, we aim to help them reclaim their manhood with resilience, authenticity, and strength.

It’s time to break the stigma.

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.

For me, therapy is primarily about health, not illness. I believe that depression is a false story about who you believe you are. I work with men to help them discover the strong and capable person beneath the problems who is able to find a solid place in life. I have been a psychotherapist for 35 years and am eclectic and flexible in my approach to others according to their needs and abilities.

I have always been interested in what makes the world tick. After graduating from university I travelled, worked in a scrapyard, did furniture moving, courier delivery and worked as a driver for the disabled. I then followed this up with social service jobs in the YMCA and the government. However, I still felt unfulfilled in my search regarding life. And gradually it came to me: people, and what drives them, have created all of history. In this way I was led to my study of psychology, and my past 30 years in private practice have been a dream job.

To best understand and identify the complex patterns involved in our thoughts and behaviours, simply limiting ourselves to labels of perceived symptoms (i.e. diagnoses) misses out on the true human experience. Through a high degree of curiosity, intrigue, and empathy we are able to subvert our own expectations and identify what may otherwise be lying just under the surface. Perhaps the hidden and uncomfortable truths that continue to cause distress.

This is the strength of a curious approach. Not only do we uncover and address the underlying concerns for the benefit and growth of the client (you), but the counsellor is naturally invested by the intrigue and collaborative discoveries being made, by virtue of their own burgeoning curiosity.

For 18+ years I have assisted adults struggling with mental health issues, substance use, trauma, anger, grief, as well as isolation and disconnection. I use a collaborative approach with clients to develop treatment plans, and goal setting. You know your experience — your thoughts, feelings, and behaviours — better than anyone else. I incorporate mindfulness into my therapy practice to aid in anxiety reduction, productivity, self-awareness and confidence. I have studied and include in my practice other approaches such as cognitive behaviour therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, secular Buddhism, narrative, Imago (for effective couples’ communication) and emotion-focused therapy.

Hello and welcome,

My name is Amber (she/her). I recognize that sometimes, the hardest decision about seeking support is the decision to do so, which is why I emphasize the importance of starting where each person is at. I have over 12 years experience working with people from all walks of life at various points on their journey from children, youth, adults, and families. My approach shifts to the needs of each unique person I meet; nonetheless, it aligns most closely with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and somatic or body-based awareness. I look forward to connecting to explore if I am the right fit for your journey

I take a holistic, mind-body approach in my practice and work to develop an awareness of how our nervous system plays a key role in regulating our emotions and internal state. I integrate aspects of both talk and body-based interventions to best support healing.

I specialize in; anxiety, trauma, stress, burnout, relationship issues, athletic & sports performance, and emotional regulation.

I draw primarily from polyvagal-informed therapy to support emotional and nervous system regulation, helping clients build resilience and cultivate safety in their bodies. I integrate somatic practices to encourage deeper body awareness and facilitate healing, and utilize EMDR to process past trauma and rewire unhelpful patterns.
