Find a Therapist

Mark Smith

I’m a Family Systems Therapist who has been in practice since 1988. I work with men from a family of origin or a family systems approach. This means, in part, that I think of men and their emotional functioning within a systems framework. I think about how their sense of themselves, and their emotional function has been shaped by the relational dynamic of their friends and family, past and present. This then contributes to emotional health symptoms like depression.

Corey Chan

I am dedicated to helping you address your concerns and issues and focus on what’s important to you. We do this on your terms and at your pace. Through an effective, non-judgemental, therapeutic relationship, I help you examine the different areas of your life and help you make practical and meaningful changes. Depending on your concerns, goals, and needs, I utilize a variety of clinical approaches and techniques to assist you. Approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused, Person Centred, Mindfulness and other modalities are customized to aid in your treatment.

Counselling helps us unearth our internal compass, also called our inner intelligence, intuition, or higher self, so that we can relearn how to trust ourselves again. This is important work. Together, I will help you develop your capacity to respond to life’s circumstances and manage the discomfort that you are experiencing. Our pain, anxiety, sadness, love, and joy all have important information for us. They can reveal what is required of us to heal, grow, and even thrive.

My counselling services are collaborative, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed while rooted in a holistic approach (body/mind/spirit). I draw from various theoretical lenses, including Existential, Adlerian, Internal Family Systems, Jungian, DBT, and CBT.

Olivia Robillard

I specialize in supporting men navigating emotional regulation, anger, depression, anxiety, burnout, and relationship challenges. My clients often struggle with perfectionism, work pressure, identity and purpose questions, and the tension between independence and vulnerability.

My approach integrates CBT, EFT, and trauma-informed care to help clients build insight, develop practical coping strategies, and strengthen communication and relational skills. I provide a collaborative and culturally humble space for exploring identity, values, and patterns, with the goal of fostering resilience and meaningful change.

Dr. Tyler Brown

I am a registered psychologist who specializes in helping men navigate major loss, trauma, and life transitions through adaptive and values-driven approaches. My practice focuses on fostering personal growth, emotional resilience, and meaningful adjustment in areas such as relationships, career, and health. I am committed to working collaboratively with you to develop tailored strategies that move your forward with more clarity and confidence.

Trevor Gray

My practice is person-centred, trauma-informed, and draws largely from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP) – a relational and emotion-focused approach. I believe each person is the expert in their own life and inherently has the knowledge and resources necessary to guide the therapeutic process, make changes, and move toward their preferred ways of living. I am here to support you with this process.

I have a reputation for being non-judgmental and gentle in my approach, which promotes the sense of safety and openness necessary to collaboratively unpack and find relief from the challenges of life. Often, this involves building awareness of old emotional patterns and working together to develop and experience new and preferred patterns in session.

Rim Yassine

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.

Kevin Kraussler

I’m passionate about welcoming individuals of all backgrounds into my practice and my primary areas of focus are clients with anxiety and depression, substance use challenges, developmental trauma, stress management, and life transitions. I use a trauma-informed and anti-oppressive lens to guide my clients in finding greater strength and resiliency in their lives. As someone who has changed careers a few times, I understand the process of finding purpose in your life and am able to provide tools to those searching for meaning in their everyday lives. I also have personal expertise within the LGBTQ+ community and do specialize in supporting clients navigating life transitions and matters of identity.

My approach is collaborative and compassionate, helping you better understand what’s happening internally while building greater ease, resilience, and connection in your life. I use an integrative, evidence-based approach drawing from DBT, mindfulness practices, and parts-based work.
