Paramount Psychology and Counselling

Grande Prairie, Alberta

Paramount Psychology and Counselling

Number of Therapists: 7
Offers:  Remote Therapy, Individual Therapy, Group Therapy

At Paramount Psychology & Counselling, our team of experienced psychologists, counsellors, and social workers help men deal with the pressures that often go unspoken—stress, anger, relationship struggles, burnout, isolation, and the weight of feeling like you have to handle everything on your own.

Many men were never taught how to talk about what they’re going through, and therapy can feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable at first. Our approach is straightforward, respectful, and practical. We focus on real conversations, clear strategies, and skills you can actually use to improve your relationships, manage stress, and feel more in control of your life.

We also offer 15-min free consults so you can get a feel for the therapist, no pressure.

Making the decision to ask for help is hard, being a man and asking for help is even harder. The expectations of masculinity have changed- I know I’ve lived it! I am a father, husband, friend and professional who is navigating these expectations-to be a protector and provider, a partner and mentor, an empathetic listener and a high-five celebrator.

My greatest learning is that vulnerability is strength, sharing is courage, and understanding yourself is vital. I will meet you where you are and together, we will figure out what will work for you. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship, career change, divorce/separation, parenting, anger, and trauma (workplace/childhood). Let’s talk.

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.

My own practice is focussed on working with men and professional pilots. I spent over 20 years as a professional pilot, from air ambulance to airline, and I have developed a strong ability to assess risk.

My training included a sound academic base and focussed on the soft skills of professional counselling such as listening and attending, making sure a client is seen and heard. I continue taking further training, particularly in areas that have evidence of being effective in treating trauma, PTSD and C-PTSD. My approach is client centered, trauma informed  and can include the modalities of EMDR, narative therapy, CBT, REBT, parts work (IFS), and somatic elements.
