I help men manage stress and irritability without shutting down, exploding with anger, or causing rupture in relationships. I help you with coping right now while also getting to know what’s underneath the struggle to ensure you feel better long-term. I use a combination of Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Relational Therapy, & Emotion-Focused Therapy. I provide online counselling for anyone in Ontario.

Many men don’t talk about it openly, but feeling disconnected — from your partner, your emotions, or even from yourself — can quietly take a huge toll. Whether it shows up as withdrawal, shutting down, anger, overwhelm, ADHD-like overload, or not knowing how to express what you actually feel, the experience underneath is often the same: it’s lonely to carry life without feeling understood.
In therapy, I help men build the skills and inner foundation for healthier relationships — not just with others, but with themselves. I support clients navigating emotional shutdown, communication barriers, trauma, ADHD/ASD-related overwhelm, and the kind of quiet pain that rarely gets put into words.
I am part of the Chilliwack Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310.

Mr. Paul McIsaac
Mr. Paul McIsaac
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.

My approach to counselling depends greatly on you and your experiences. Our work will begin by understanding your story, experiences and the resulting life that you’re living. Through getting to know each other and hearing about your experiences, we will use the information revealed to begin resolving your issues – be it helping you understand existing problems, manage difficult symptoms or adopt healthier ways of living and relating.
I believe the best results come from a strong relationship and a willingness to change and challenge your self. If you feel ready to take these steps, please reach out to see if we’re a good fit to work together. Have a nice day.

When clients work with me there is a guarantee that change will occur. This change does not have to be drastic or grand. It can come from a new or revised perspective, different level of awareness, change in reaction time or with a slight adjustment to feelings and thoughts behind the challenge. I focus on balancing the right model, the correct therapy and the appropriate strategies for each client. Because every client is different, the therapy and services provided should be as unique as the person(s) sitting across from me. I adhere to one philosophy with every client: if your comfort level is high, then you will do great work in therapy. This means the counselling process is driven by the client and based on their needs.

Hello, my name is Stephanie and I am grateful to have been working in the field of health and human services for over 23 years. I am humbled to provide clinical counselling services to individuals, families, couples and groups. In all of my interactions I centre safety, collaboration, trauma-informed practice, cultural humility, and compassion. I hold a Masters in Counselling Psychology and a PhD with a specialization in the field of substance use and addiction. I work alongside youth and adults involved with alcohol and/or other drugs and strive to meet people where they are at with both a strength-based and collaborative lens. My deep passion involves supporting family members and carers affected by substance use who may be seeking services in their own right, or a safe place to share their experience as they navigate the rollercoaster of loving a person involved with substances.
