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.

Mrs. Leila Coulibaly

Hamilton, Ontario

Mrs. Leila Coulibaly

Master's degree in Psychology
Years in practice: 22
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I provide Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for adults and adolescents experiencing symptoms due to traumatic, distressful events in childhood and/or adulthood. Feeling overwhelmed or stuck prevents you from living in the present moment. EMDR, as a comprehensive therapy, can help unlock traumatic memories trapped in the brain. Symptoms such as panic attacks, phobias, flashbacks, depression, and anxiety can affect our level of functionality, and the way we relate to ourselves and others in daily life, work, home, and school. Take the next step to your wellness! I look forward to hearing from you!

 If you feel like you keep running into the same wall — the same fights, the same stress, the same habits that you promised yourself you’d break — you’re not alone. A lot of men carry the weight silently and think they should “just figure it out” on their own, but that pressure is exactly what keeps everything bottled up.

My work focuses on helping men understand why these patterns keep repeating, and how to get unstuck without shame or judgment. Whether it shows up as stress, anger, anxiety, shutdown, relationship strain, or feeling like you’re not living up to your own potential, there is always something underneath the surface that is asking to be understood. You don’t need to have the perfect words or a polished story — you just need a place where you don’t have to keep pretending everything is fine.

I am part of the Surrey Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310‬.

As a man, prioritizing your mental health is crucial, and often, it’s overlooked or downplayed. I understand that men face unique challenges and life transitions that require specialized support. With over 20 years of professional experience as a clinical social worker and a Master of Social Work completed in 2021, I’m equipped to guide you through these challenges with a holistic approach that emphasizes the connection between physical health, nutrition, and mental well-being.

I’ve personally struggled with mental health, so I understand the importance of having the right support. My specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, the Gottman Method for couples, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness allows me to offer tailored support for men dealing with various issues. Whether you’re navigating childhood trauma, experiencing postpartum depression, adapting to fatherhood, or transitioning into retirement, I’m here to help.

Remember, seeking mental health support is a sign of strength, and taking care of your mental well-being is vital for leading a fulfilling life. Let’s work together to address your unique needs and help you achieve lasting mental health.
