Therapists in Ontario

Hannah McGechie

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.

Are you feeling trapped in a cycle of emotional or chronic pain, experiencing low energy, depressed mood, or pulling away from those around you? I know that this can be all-consuming, and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
I provide a supportive, practical space where you can tap into your strengths and make meaningful changes. With over 10 years of healthcare experience, I specialize in helping you manage anxiety, chronic pain, depression, and major life transitions.

I believe each client has unique needs which is why I take my lead from each client. Whether you’re feeling lonely, isolated, unwanted, or stressed; I will take the time to get to know your concerns first. Once we have identified your main concerns, we can work collaboratively towards your goals. I have experience working with adult men and seniors through crisis prevention and individual counselling. I currently provide virtual therapy as well as in-person counselling at my office in downtown Hamilton to adults 18+. Some approaches that I utilize are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Narrative Therapy. Overall, I aim to provide a space where clients feel safe discussing their mental health.

I work with adults—particularly men and queer/trans clients—who feel exhausted by coping alone, disconnected from themselves or others, or under pressure to “hold it together.”
My therapeutic approach is trauma‑informed, relational, and integrative. I draw from somatic therapy, attachment‑based work, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and existential and narrative approaches.
Sessions are paced collaboratively, with close attention to nervous system regulation, safety, and consent. Rather than pushing for insight or change before readiness, the work unfolds in a grounded and steady way that supports lasting integration and deeper self‑trust.
I offer remote therapy across British Columbia and Ontario.

I work with adults (18+) who are experiencing concerns with depression, anxiety, addiction, and/or relationship issues. My training is in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (both for individuals and couples). As a therapist, I work collaboratively with my clients with a non-judgmental approach. Using evidence-based therapies, we can work together to develop a plan to reach your goals.

I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where men can work through challenges with relationships, stress, anger, and personal growth. My approach is trauma-informed, blending evidence-based techniques like CBT and DBT with a practical, client-centered focus to help you build resilience and emotional balance.
I aim to help clients uncover the root of their struggles while developing tools to navigate life with greater confidence and clarity.

Men are often taught from a young age that it’s not “manly” to admit that they’re struggling. This can lead to men feeling ashamed and embarrassed about their mental health problems, which prevents them from seeking treatment.
However, it’s important for men to realize that there is no shame in seeking help. In fact, therapy is a very effective way to treat mental health issues, and there are many qualified therapists who specialize in helping men. I treat you as the valuable individual you are, and I give you my full attention. I believe in collaboration, so we work together as a team. Let’s work together to make changes for the better.
I draw from CBT to assess and explore how your thinking, assumptions, and beliefs inform your mood and behaviours. I draw from Psychodynamic Therapy to explore your past, relationships, and defense mechanisms that you have adopted over the years. Lastly, and most importantly, I draw from various schools and techniques to match your unique situation.

I favour a holistic, integrative approach, tailored to meet your individual needs. Drawing on various modalities including mindfulness, CBT and ACT, we build on your strengths and resilience rather than focusing on pathology or diagnoses. Together, we identify thought and behaviour patterns no longer serving you, helping you to change and heal. I am sensitive to the fact that problems clients bring might have a spiritual dimension and remain open to working with your personal meanings. I enjoy working with clients and consider it a privilege to be able to accompany them on their journeys of self-discovery and healing.

My clients receive a genuine, dedicated, and committed therapist. I always make sure I am checking in and seeking feedback to ensure our time together is meaningful and beneficial. I have been told many times that I am approachable, funny, and easy to talk to. If I can make someone laugh when they are dealing with a difficult situation, then why not? I am straight-forward and supportive. I have a decade of experience as a social worker and have the clinical skills to know how to approach different personalities in order to build rapport in a short time frame.

My practice is rooted in empathy, resilience, and transformation. Together, we’ll explore what’s possible and help you move forward with more clarity.
Blending psychoanalytic depth and mind-body awareness, I offer space for insight, healing, and meaningful growth – where lasting change begins from within.
If you’ve found yourself here, it may be because something in your life feels tender, heavy, or uncertain – and that matters deeply. If this speaks to you, I invite you to reach out when you’re ready. You don’t have to hold it all

I have extensive experience in supporting individuals with a wide range of mental wellness concerns using a client-centred and recovery-oriented approach, both in-person in Guelph and virtually (online). I use the Gottman Method, attachment theory, and emotion-focused therapy as my guiding framework for couples counselling.
