Therapists in Canada

Mr. Patrick Pretty
Mr. Patrick Pretty
I utilize an integrative and experiential approach adjusted to each individual. A combination of the following approaches is used: Existential-humanistic therapy, Schema therapy, Transactional analysis, Attachment therapy, Relational therapy, Core-life value therapy, Cognitive-emotional therapy, Solution-focused therapy. My approach capitalizes on the strengths and abilities of individuals from all walks of life to access internal and external resources for spawning positive life changes and self-growth. The client, with the alliance of the therapist, can create solutions for the challenging obstacles that life holds, and therapy focuses on individuals’ resilience, values, and skills, via compassion, empathy, active listening, and sensitive services.

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.

Working with clients from diverse backgrounds, I provide professional and confidential counselling to address a number of issues including anxiety, trauma, depression, anger management, and relationship problems. I have a passion for expanding my knowledge in evidence-based practice, including lessons from clients themselves, and have completed additional professional training in different therapeutic modalities. I use an eclectic approach of holistic, evidence-based techniques to teach clients how changing their thinking can change their behaviours and improve the outcome of their lives. I use my own narrative of resiliency to motivate and inspire others to recognize the growth and positives that can come from life challenges.

I believe every individual has a unique experience that requires therapy that is tailored to them. In the safety net of psychotherapy, you will explore your life experiences, gain new perspectives, reframe experiences positively, and learn new adaptive skills. If you have anxiety, depression, learning disabilities, ADHD, Autism, twice-exceptional, or are an immigrant or a caregiver, I will work with you to help gain skills that will make it easier to manage and improve your mental health, maximize your potential at work, advocate for yourself, and improve your relationships. You are brave to take part in a journey that can be overwhelming and frightening and I look forward to accompanying you on this path to self-growth.

Mrs. Leila Coulibaly
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!

She is warm, caring, and non-judgmental. She does not apply a “one-fits-all” approach to therapy. Rather, she takes the time to get to know you to make informed recommendations that fit your personality and style.

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.
