I have a strong background focusing on healthy relationships. This includes a focus on anger, conflict and reducing abuse.

Acknowledging that things are not ok is a brave first-step. First and foremost, I want you to know that you are not alone. Now let’s see if together we are a good fit to navigate these difficult thoughts, feelings, and events you’re experiencing. Many of my clients are men seeking support with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and trauma. In addition, with lived experience in the 2SLGBTQ+ community, I take pride in offering support for any related concerns.
I feel strongly that treatment is not a ‘one size fits all’ which is why I take an integrated framework, drawing upon various modalities of practice to individualize our work together to meet your needs.

Hi! I’m Michael, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) specializing in talk and somatic therapy. I have education in health systems and relational therapy.
Interpersonal relationships play a central role in our mental health over our lifespan, and taking time to reflect on our closest relationships, or ourselves can be grounding and stress relieving. In a session with me, you can expect to tap into your feelings and dilemmas, get creative with problem-solving and sit with the unknown, all while being in a safe, receptive, and inclusive space.
My specific areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, self-harm, existentialism, interpersonal conflicts, spirituality, and burnout. I offer a trauma-informed and inclusive space.

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.

Dr. Nathan J Cooper
Dr. Nathan J Cooper
Dr. Cooper and his associates, Maryam Rahat and Carlin Palme, offer care for individuals and couples dealing with concerns that are getting in the way of fully functioning. Common concerns include anxiety, depression, substance use, procrastination, trauma, self-esteem, relationship conflict, and career indecision. Our approach to providing care is shaped by the interest and direction of each individual. Care provision is informed by proven therapies which include CBT and positive psychology. We are very interested in the connection between nature and health. There is opportunity for walk and talk sessions outdoors. This helps to create a very unique therapy experience.

My work focuses on male survivors of sexual assault and trauma, and new parents. Through a non-judgmental and gently challenging approach, I help you examine areas of your life where you might be feeling stuck and support you in developing practical skills to take charge of your life.
Therapy can be a safe and confidential space where you can let your guard down and just be. Nothing is “too much” for you to share and we will work at a pace that feels comfortable for you. I use evidence-based modalities, such as EMDR, CBT, and EFT to help you form more meaningful relationships with yourself and others and feel more confident and secure. I’ve been told I am easy to talk to, so I welcome you to reach out.

I have worked with individuals dealing with a broad range of concerns for over 15 years. This includes periodic difficulties (e.g. depression, anxiety, addiction, and insomnia), and more persistent concerns (e.g. maladaptive coping, relationship difficulties, and low self-esteem).
I use a flexible approach drawing on training and experience in a number of theoretical orientations including: mindfulness-based, cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, and humanistic therapy. I work with clients to establish meaningful and concrete therapeutic goals that form the basis for monitoring progress.

Jason Carrasco
Jason Carrasco
I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Marriage and Family Therapist and Co-Founder of Relationship Matters Therapy Centre. The way I work with clients is very person-centred, and collaborative. I recognize how we do not live in isolation. We all live in the context of much larger systems and multiple relationships that inevitably have an impact on how we experience the world. I like to keep things fair, down-to-earth, respectful, and equitable while creating an anti-oppressive space with clients to talk about the things that really matter to you

Jules Hollett

I am deeply committed to creating a healing space where individuals can explore and navigate life’s challenges. My practice is rooted in a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and culturally-sensitive framework, recognizing the impact of diverse identities on mental health. Working collaboratively with both adults and teens, I offer support for a range of issues, from anxiety and depression, to Tourette’s and OCD, to the aftermath of trauma.
I believe that therapy is a space in which we work collaboratively to create a reparative relationship that nurtures and fosters insight, growth, safety, and resilience — a space in which one’s own innate internal reservoir of resources can be given the space and time to guide the way towards healing.
