Mr. Paul McIsaac

MA in Counselling Psychology, Yorkville University
Years in practice: 17
Offers:  Remote Therapy

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.

Years in practice: 3
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I work within an integrative approach, utilizing person-centered, CBT, ACT, DBT, IPT, IFS, EFT and psychodynamic interventions. I consider the individual and their presenting concerns, thus pulling from different orientations to best suit my client. My approach to psychotherapy relies heavily on existential ideologies, highlighting our shared human experience of daily struggles and pain and suffering. I also recognize the uniqueness of each of our stories and strengths, creating a therapy where one leaves with more insight and trust within thyself.

Jessie Baynham

Master’s in Counselling Psychology (MACP)
Years in practice: 4
Offers:  Remote Therapy

My basic belief is hopeful and positive: that ultimately people are “good” and are striving for wellness with the internal and external resources they have.  I am committed to helping you unpack and leave behind stories and ways of coping that no longer serve your needs, while building resilience and moving towards new ways of relating to self and others, stepping authentically into life and relationships.

As a queer-identified woman, I am particularly interested but not exclusively focused on supporting clients within the LGBTQ2S+ community.  I intentionally support overall mental wellness for all men, women and adolescents as we work to resolve, understand and reflect on barriers that exist in attaining psychological well-being.

Michael Greene

REMOTE ACROSS QUEBEC

Michael Greene

MA in Counseling Psychology, Vermont College
Years in practice: 25+
Offers:  Remote Therapy

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.
