I believe that we all have the capacity to heal and process through emotional pain, however, I also acknowledge that sometimes we lose touch with our innate resources and safe connections. My role as a therapist is to provide space for clients in an empathic, non-judgemental, and curious manner in order to aid in their self-discovery. I work from a client-centred approach such that the client leads each session, while I provide reflection, feedback, and space for them to process and safely explore all parts of themselves. I incorporate components of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

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.

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.

I work within an integrative approach, utilizing person-centered, CBT, ACT, DBT, IPT, IFS, EFT and psychodynamic interventions. I consider the individual and their presenting concerns, thus pulling from different orientations to best suit my client. My approach to psychotherapy relies heavily on existential ideologies, highlighting our shared human experience of daily struggles and pain and suffering. I also recognize the uniqueness of each of our stories and strengths, creating a therapy where one leaves with more insight and trust within thyself.

My approach is client-centered, meaning that I am well-versed in a variety of approaches including CBT, EFT, Existential, Narrative, Art and mindfulness-based, culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed and existentially-based methodologies, and utilize them to best fit my clients’ specific needs.

Feeling stuck in a rut of boredom and disinterest? Struggling to find motivation and energy? You’re not alone. At Krish Dhir Social Work and Psychotherapy Services, we understand the challenges men face when it comes to maintaining their mental well-being. Whether it’s work-related stress, global concerns, or just the monotony of daily life, we’re here to help.

If you notice that a loved one is showing any of the typical depression signs like oversleeping or not sleeping, tension, or uncontrollable anger (in the case of men) you should address the topic and let the person know that you care about them and that you are ready to listen when they are ready to talk.

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.
