Find a Therapist

Peter Jamieson

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor my approach is very pragmatic. I understand that when life is already hard the last thing a man needs is someone making it more complicated. I bring together my Master of Arts (Counselling Psychology) with my Master of Human Kinetics (Coaching Science) and my long-time experience as a high-performance sport coach and educator to create an approach that is solution-focused and positive. We’ll work as a team to create realistic goals, find the right tools for you, do the necessary work to move forward and make improvements in your life.

Kelly Atkinson

I’ve worked in Sr. human resources positions for the past 25 years, I bring my passion and experience in supporting individuals to become their best version of themselves while working together on their goals, to complement my psychotherapy practice.

As a mature grad, I bring a great deal of life experience both personally and professionally. I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, work challenges, relationship, eating disorders, attachment concerns, alcohol use disorder or are sober curious.

I employ a holistic and person-centered approach using treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy, Cognitive Processing, DBT and EFT. I’m experienced in working with LGBTQ+.

Vancouver Island Men’s Therapy Centre Society

The Men’s Therapy Centre provides trauma counselling for masculine-identifying, gender non-conforming and Two-Spirit community members who are survivors of physical, emotional, or sexualized violence. Our registered clinical counsellors specialize in working with community members using therapeutic modalities ranging from art therapy to somatic experiencing to help community members cope with the experience of trauma. Our mandate supports many vulnerable community members who would otherwise not have access to trauma therapy.

Ventsislav Tomov

I act as an advocate of the movement for ‘the greening of psychotherapy’, aiming at reuniting people with the natural environment to heal from illness and distress, challenging the separation from nature we are experiencing, since the industrial revolution. As an umbrella term for nature-based methods of physical and psychological healing, ecotherapy represents a new form of psychotherapy that acknowledges that people are intimately connected with, embedded in, and inseparable from the rest of nature. Comprehending this fact shifts our understanding of how to heal the human psyche and the currently dysfunctional human-nature relationship. Modalities: Positive, Narrative, Systemic, Psycho-dynamic, Mindfulness-, Attachment- & Nature-based.

Michael McNally

It takes courage, reflection, and a few calming breaths to reach out for support when difficult life circumstances present themselves. Taking the important first step starts the journey toward applying new ways of approaching personal and relational difficulties. We will walk together in a collaborative relationship, test new skills that we learn along the way, and explore the possibilities!

Cameron Gibson

I believe curiosity can replace judgment, and this natural curiosity toward people led me into a career in Mental Health, and the creation of my practice in 2019. I’m drawn to modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Solution-Focused Approaches.

In my work, I utilize a therapeutic approach that fosters practical and measurable progress for clients. To create that impact, I draw on over ten years of varied work experience, ranging from community-based treatments to private practice and corporate work. This contributes to a creative and open-minded way of counselling, allowing me to pull from this wide range of experience, as well as my coaching work, and deliver real change for people.

Sean Hale

I provide an empathetic and non-judgemental approach. I work with a range of clients and specialize in Relationship issues, Men’s issues, Life Transitions, Communication, Self-esteem, Identity development, Overcoming Shame, Mood regulation and LGBTQ+ issues. I have 10 years of personal and professional coaching experience centred around emotional intelligence, communication skills and adult learning. My approach is eclectic, meaning that one size does not fit all. I work within your paradigm to find what works for you.

Tanya Trenhaile

I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor who is authentic and non-judgmental and I’m available to offer supportive therapy using a holistic approach that will be best tailored to help you resolve your unique concerns. I have several years experience working with boys/men aged 13-40 focused on treating depression, anxiety, low self-worth, anger and ADHD symptoms.

Forging respectful, nurturing, and inclusive therapeutic bonds with my clients is my biggest priority as I’m a strong believer that feeling seen, heard, safe and accepted is a necessary foundation for all change. My approach to therapy is always client centered, strengths-based and collaborative- this means we go at your pace together to reach the goals that are most important to you.

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.

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

Exchiela Benusic

In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, ​grief, stress, trauma, ADHD, and exhaustion. Life can be hard sometimes and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they’re struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers, healers, caregivers, entrepreneurs, advocates, and empaths and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you’re tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or simply want to feel better emotionally, you’ve come to the right place.

Suzanne Raitt

It can be daunting attending therapy for the first time and talking about personal issues. Your relationship with your therapist is the most important factor in your success; you need to feel a connection in terms of communication, trust, comfort and safety during your sessions. I therefore offer a complimentary, no-obligation call so we can chat with no expectations or pressure. You do not fit in a pre-made mould and neither should your therapy. As such, I implement a blended therapeutic approach which is client-centered; this means you are in the driver’s seat at all times. I work only with proven, evidence-based approaches including Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) & Solution Focused Therapy (SFT).

Mathew Thomas

I do detailed initial assessments collaboratively to determine the scope for short and long-term therapy for you. You are assured of my support, utmost respect and confidentiality. My caring and compassionate nature will enhance our partnership in therapy. I am also an approved clinical supervisor under CRPO. I welcome qualifying psychotherapists and graduate students for supervision and mentoring.
