Sean Hale
I provide an empathetic and non-judgemental approach. I work with a range of clients and specialize in Relationship issues, Men’s issues, Life Transitions, Communication, Self-esteem, Identity development, Overcoming Shame, Mood regulation and LGBTQ+ issues. I have 10 years of personal and professional coaching experience centred around emotional intelligence, communication skills and adult learning. My approach is eclectic, meaning that one size does not fit all. I work within your paradigm to find what works for you.

My approach to therapy is grounded in social justice and anti-oppression, and guided by narrative frameworks. I believe our lives are shaped by the stories we and others tell us about who we are. When we decide to come to therapy, it’s often because stories about problems (and about how WE are a problem) are dominating our lives. My role is to help you examine these stories and your relationship to them, and to explore, create, and sometimes change the stories in your life.

I strongly believe in building a solid work alliance that is collaborative and values you as the expert on your own life. The initial session is free of charge in order for you to evaluate if I am a good fit for you! My therapeutic approach tends to utilize the following modalities: Brief Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Exposure Therapy, Feminist, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy.

My personal approach to counselling and therapy is that I am not an expert on you – you are – I am there to partner with you in meeting your goals. Theoretical approaches I use in my work include: Cognitive behavioral therapy, Person-centered therapy, Dialectical behavior therapy, Solution-focused therapy, Narrative therapy, and Collaborative problem solving.

Mr. John Flesher
I was a police officer for 30 years and dealt with my own struggles, including ptsd and depression. My Master’s Degree helped me to heal and learned to help others in more effective ways. I work at numerous modalities, but strength-based and solution focused therapies are most frequently requested and used effectively. CBT, DBT, Choice and Reality Therapies for anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and anger issues are areas of strength of application.

You’ve been struggling for far too long. Feeling down, irritable, stressed, drained of physical, emotional and creative energy or just plain stuck seems to be your new normal and you’re tired of it. Something isn’t right and hasn’t been right for a while and you don’t want to burden your loved ones any more with your problems. Your relationships and work life are suffering, and you just want everything to be OK. Together we’ll compassionately explore what’s going on through an intuitive, fluid blend of Talk Therapy, Compassionate Inquiry and the Expressive Arts to get your life back on track.

I help people with ADHD who want to learn techniques to live a more structured life. I help people wanting relief from anxious thoughts that are holding them back from the people, places, and things that they love.
I aide individuals seeking to improve their relationships, whether they be romantic, familial, or friendships. I help people who need to improve their communication skills, and who want to feel more confident in every aspect of their lives.
I also help people recovering from Trauma and PTSD, specifically First Responders.
I primarily practice from a Biopsychosocial perspective. Modalities I will use include CBT, Mindfulness, Inner Child Work, EMDR, and Person-Centered Approach. I take a collaborative approach.

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.

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) and Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), and the founder of Men Therapy Toronto, the first counseling center in Canada focused exclusively on the health and well-being of men. I am also a trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) therapist which is an evidence-based modality used in treating trauma. At Men Therapy Toronto we see men who come in for a wide range of concerns. We specialize in men working through concerns with porn and sex addiction, childhood sexual abuse, anger management, career concerns and childhood trauma.

Are you hoping to improve your mood and return to “feeling like yourself” again? Do you feel trapped by your triggers, traumas, or experiences, and want to better understand how your thoughts and feelings today are still connected to the past? Do you want a therapist who takes into consideration your values and background to help connect you to your experiences of past, present and future? If this sounds like you, together we can explore the ways you’re struggling or hoping to learn more about yourself in our work. I support both individuals and couples through their journeys. I hold a Masters of Counselling Psychology from Adler University and I am an EMDR Trauma practitioner which connects emotions, the body, and our traumas to heal.

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.

Hello! I work predominantly with adults and older teens who have lived through interpersonal, childhood, or complex trauma. I work from a trauma theory, body-centred and anti-oppressive framework. I typically include elements of somatics, mindfulness, compassion focus, and systems theory approaches. Area’s of exploration may include befriending the body, addressing negative self-talk, or living with heightened feelings, bodily sensations, or numbness.
