Micheal O’Rourke
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.

Life can be challenging, leading to anxiety or feeling disconnected. I’m here to help with mental health struggles, relationship issues, and personal growth. In our sessions, I prioritize a warm and collaborative approach, tailoring our discussions to your needs, and utilizing a client-centred approach. We’ll create a customized treatment plan that resonates with you by drawing from evidence-based modalities such as Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.
As a mixed-race Canadian/Filipino/Guyanese therapist, I value inclusivity and culturally sensitive care. Together, we’ll explore your inner world and discover your strength. Let’s journey toward healing and growth, including some lighthearted moments along the way!

In my role as your therapist, I am committed to providing a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can share your story. Throughout our sessions, I pay close attention to the words and language you use, and I incorporate metaphors and imagery to aid in our work together. I also integrate mindfulness and compassion techniques to help you cultivate greater self-awareness and kindness towards yourself. Together, we will explore the root causes of your anxiety, stress, anger, or depression, and I will support you in challenging and transforming any unhelpful patterns that are keeping you stuck. My goal is to empower you to understand the source of your pain and to help you move forward in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you. To achieve this, I will tailor my approach to your specific needs and preferences.

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.

Michael Greene
Michael Greene
For me, therapy is primarily about health, not illness. I believe that depression is a false story about who you believe you are. I work with men to help them discover the strong and capable person beneath the problems who is able to find a solid place in life. I have been a psychotherapist for 35 years and am eclectic and flexible in my approach to others according to their needs and abilities.
I have always been interested in what makes the world tick. After graduating from university I travelled, worked in a scrapyard, did furniture moving, courier delivery and worked as a driver for the disabled. I then followed this up with social service jobs in the YMCA and the government. However, I still felt unfulfilled in my search regarding life. And gradually it came to me: people, and what drives them, have created all of history. In this way I was led to my study of psychology, and my past 30 years in private practice have been a dream job.

For 5+ years I have worked as a registered Social Worker in the field of mental health. I have been fortunate enough to work with clients in various settings, including community mental health and private practice. It is a privilege to learn about and share in the journeys of others. I am passionate about providing hope and helping clients to reexamine limiting beliefs in a way that helps them achieve their goals. 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.

Common concerns include anxiety, depression, substance use, procrastination, trauma, self-esteem, relationship conflict, and career indecision.

Let’s explore negotiating the reality you want, healing and tools to strengthen your mental health. Therapy can be an empowering space, including for your relationship, career, men’s issues, self-esteem, assertiveness and transformation goals and challenges. I offer an oasis to safely learn more about yourself and grow, protected by confidentiality and unconditional positive regard. My life experience includes having worked as a family law lawyer for over four years, and I’m a husband and father.
As a co-traveller within sessions, I focus on creating that crucial empathetic environment where we can explore underlying patterns that impact how you act and think, and the building of the empowering alternatives you want.
