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 am a Registered Social Worker with 10 years experience in the mental health and addiction field. I have assisted folks with concerns around depression, anxiety, OCD, addictions, relationship problems, and more. I work from an anti-oppressive framework and am passionate about decolonizing therapy and promoting anti-racism in the workplace. Remote therapy only.

I have been practicing since early 2015 and have a diverse clinical background, including experience in sex therapy, trauma, depression, anxiety, couples counseling, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and addictions/recovery.
I utilize a collaborative approach to therapy where I’ll explain what we’re doing and why and we’ll engage in the process together. Therapy can be challenging, but can help you to live a better life.

I work as a person-centered therapist and value the importance of your lived experiences and perceptions. The pursuit of growth, understanding, self-awareness, and positive change is a shared goal. In a collaborative journey, we gain insights into your behaviour, capitalize on your strengths, and increase your ability to cope and change.

I am a therapist providing individual care for youth (12+) and adults out of Ottawa, Ontario, the traditional, unceded territories of the Algonquin nation. In my work, I provide a trauma-informed space for people to unpack their stories, so that together we can create individualized, holistic plans of care.
I practice from an anti-racist, anti-oppressive framework and specialize in locating individual struggle within the larger picture of peoples’ lives and society. My aim is to not only support individuals during the time we work together, but to co-create tools of mental wellness that they can engage with for the rest of their lives.

I enjoy working with men who are interested in their own personal growth and wellbeing.
I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where men can explore and gain further insight into their thoughts, feelings, sensations, and behaviours. My clients may be struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, anger and irritability, low self esteem, or are having difficulties with assertiveness. They may also be struggling with a lack of clarity or sense of meaning and purpose in their lives, or are adjusting due to major life changes.
I try to help men break free from unhelpful patterns and sterotypes by discussing coping strategies and connecting them with their values, creativity, sense of humour, and what is most meaningful to them.

Matthew Kelley

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.

I have 10 years of personal and professional coaching experience centred around emotional intelligence, communication skills and adult learning.

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.
