Therapists in Canada

Natasha Sani

My practice specializes in supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, chronic illness or cancer, ADHD, grief, and major life transitions, including the shift into adulthood and evolving family dynamics. I recognize that our identities and personal narratives are shaped by lived experiences—challenges, traumas, and milestones that influence our resilience and self-perception. By exploring these influences, we can foster personal growth and meaningful transformation.

I work with men who are carrying more than they show, and who are tired of holding everything in just to get through the day. If you’re feeling burnt out, disconnected, overwhelmed by stress, or having trouble showing up in your relationships the way you want to, you’re not alone — and you don’t have to keep doing this silently.
My approach is straightforward, supportive, and focused on helping you understand what’s going on beneath the surface so you can get back to feeling like yourself again — not a different man, just a less overloaded one. In our work together, we slow things down enough for you to breathe, think clearly, and reconnect with the parts of you that have been in survival mode for too long.
I am part of the Kelowna Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310.

I take a holistic, mind-body approach in my practice and work to develop an awareness of how our nervous system plays a key role in regulating our emotions and internal state. I integrate aspects of both talk and body-based interventions to best support healing.
I specialize in; anxiety, trauma, stress, burnout, relationship issues, athletic & sports performance, and emotional regulation.
I draw primarily from polyvagal-informed therapy to support emotional and nervous system regulation, helping clients build resilience and cultivate safety in their bodies. I integrate somatic practices to encourage deeper body awareness and facilitate healing, and utilize EMDR to process past trauma and rewire unhelpful patterns.

Hello! My name is Matthew, and I help men who feel weighed down by stress, self-doubt, or the pressure to have it all together. In therapy, we’ll untangle the messages from your past that hold you back, build healthier ways to cope, and foster the confidence and clarity you have inside. My goal is to create a space where you don’t have to carry everything alone and you can go through the process without judgement.

Men don’t cry! The societal stigma has made it difficult for many men to even consider therapy as an option. It is time to break the stereotype. My main goal is to provide a non-judgmental, empathic and supportive environment to assist my clients. I offer you new sets of skills and help you to explore new perspectives, not only to overcome your problems but also to increase your resilience and create more meaning and happiness in your life. I have an eclectic and multicultural approach and value the active role my clients can play in creating positive changes in their lives and give importance to their background, life experiences, culture and personal value system.

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.

Shane Smyth
Shane Smyth
I believe we all have the ability to work through our own struggles when provided with a safe nonjudgemental space to process thoughts, emotions and memories. I aim to provide that space to people as I have benefited from that process myself over the years. I don’t believe I’m an expert in anyone else’s life but I have expertise in listening, asking questions and helping people tolerate and regulate difficult emotions and thoughts. I have struggled in the past myself and know that a good therapist can make a huge difference, so I strive to be that therapist for others.
