Men & Healing
Men & Healing
Men & Healing believes that men can live happier and healthier lives. We further believe that with the right opportunity for change, the right approach, the most committed therapists working with innovative models of care, transformation can happen. Our core mission is: to support men, in a process of change, with structure and integrity.
We are one of the world’s leading clinics working in a male-centred approach to psychology and therapy. Our 20-plus years of experience and expertise in the field is well known. Our models of services have been taught internationally, the research outcomes for our trauma recovery services have been deemed clinically effective, and thousands of men have benefitted from our programs over the years.
In addition to individual therapy, we are one of the only clinics in Canada to offer a long-term childhood trauma recovery program for men. We offer many different group therapy options, focusing on anger management, sexual integrity, emotional integrity, and childhood trauma recovery (also called Men & Healing).

I have helped people ask, and answer, the ‘Why?’ question for close to two decades now. During this time, I’ve come to the conclusion that people who seek out therapy are some of the bravest people in the world. I honour the courage that it takes to look inward and admit that you are in need, and I cherish the role that I have in supporting men through these times. I take a blended Narrative / Person-Centred approach to therapy. What this means is I believe that you are the expert of you, and I’m an expert in asking really good questions. Together, we can work to stabilize your thinking, understand your motivations, and increase your awareness. In short, my goal is for you to understand yourself better than you ever have before.

I work with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, communication, sex, and identity. I look for patterns of behaviour that shape your life, where those patterns emerge from, and where you might like to try something different. The fit between therapist and client is tremendously important and it is difficult to gauge from a few sentences on a website. If you are curious about my approach, I encourage you to reach out for a free consultation.

I work with adults, youth, families, couples and LGBTQ community members with a variety of concerns including depression, anxiety, social anxiety, career coaching, anger, communication, relationships, and trauma. While I am able to address body dysmorphia, I do not work with eating disorders or provide addiction counselling.

Mr. John Flesher
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.

We are committed to breaking down the barriers and stigma often associated with men seeking mental health treatment, offering a safe space for growth and healing. For us, part of creating a psychologically safe space for men is through providing a confidential and non-judgmental environment where every client feels valued and heard. Our diverse range of therapies, from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to mindfulness practices, is designed to empower our clients, helping them navigate life’s challenges with strength and resilience.
Note: In Ontario, we only recommend therapists who meet our minimum qualification standards, which include holding a Master’s degree and being registered with the CPO, OCSWSSW, CRPO, or CCPA.

I am a registered Psychotherapist with a special interest in helping men who can get ‘stuck’ and struggle with transitions in life such as retirement from sport, losing a job, divorce, re-locating or simply helping you to figure out a purpose for what comes next. My approach is simple; non-judgmental, open and empathetic to client experiences. I take a broad perspective to understanding my client experiences and integrate historical information to formulating a plan to help clients resolve problems now. Depression, anxiety disorders, loneliness, anger and substance abuse are key areas that I specialize in.

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.
