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.

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.

David T Renaud

I work with men experiencing difficult problems. Such problems go by many names, and may be new or old, but all share the common trait of stubbornly obstructing our happiness. Yet despite the hardship they cause, our problems also carry essential insight about what is needed for their resolution. I work with you to reveal these insights, to gather their wisdom, and to transform them into opportunities for greater well-being and engagement with life. You can visit my website to easily book a free, unhurried conversation about the problems you’re experiencing, and the life you’d like to live. We’ll talk about ways to help you move toward that life, using approaches that feel natural, intuitive, and possibly even exciting.

Kevin Erickson

Whether you want to move past your past, feel better in the present, or stop worrying about your future – I can help.

We are all individuals striving to be a better version of ourselves. What “better” looks like is different for everyone and yours can only be defined by you. My role is to support and guide you in understanding your challenges, defining your desired outcomes, and creating your better.

Amandeep Jassal

Amandeep is a deeply intuitive professional therapist who brings a gentle presence and calming energy to his work with clients. An effective listener, Amandeep tunes into his client’s words, body language, and emotions to ask targeted questions that guide the client to the root causes of the issue.

Working from a compassion-focused lens, Amandeep incorporates his training in cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness training (mindful self-compassion and mindfulness-based stress reduction).

Robbie Ruddell

You don’t have to carry this all on your own. I’m a Registered Clinical Counsellor offering a space of refuge and belonging for men navigating shame, stress, disconnection, and self-doubt. If you feel stuck in emotional or relational patterns, overwhelmed or shut down inside, longing for connection but unsure how to feel safe in it – you’re not alone.

My practice is grounded in attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and self-compassion. I work beyond traditional talk therapy by engaging the body and mind to support clients in moving beyond survival patterns into a more connected sense of self. While I support many queer and questioning clients, my practice is open to all men. A free consult is here for you when the time is right.

Anna Silverman

Hi there, my name is Anna and I am a holistic counselor interested in reducing disconnection in our communities; I think this is something important for men and boys. My clients have described me as warm, compassionate, humorous, grounding, accepting, assertive and direct.

My offerings includes individual counseling and group counseling. I pursue ongoing training in working with trauma on the individual, group and institutional levels.

In order to maintain high professional and ethical standards of care, I receive ongoing clinical supervision and attend a peer professional consult group based in the Sensorimotor Psychotherapy; a body-based talk therapy.
Outside work, you can find me with family and friends, hiking and patronising the arts.

Daniel Prince

Daniel Prince of Adaptive Mental Health specializes in working with men who want support with emotional regulation, processing and embodiment practices.

Our clients often feel like they can’t control their own actions, or that the brain is simply a witness to their body’s response. Conversely, we work equally with people who struggle to feel anything in their body, like positive emotions, or otherwise can’t get out of their own head and be present and in the moment.

AMH utilize Somatic Embodiment therapy techniques to help men gain control over their emotions, be better able to connect with themselves and their loved ones and more healthily move towards the goals and pursuits they want in life to feel more connected and fulfilled.

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.

Tony Ho

If you’re ready for change, I can help. I offer counselling and therapy services from my easily accessible office in Downtown Vancouver to anywhere in B.C. and Ontario via secure online video chat. With over a decade of experience as a social worker and therapist, I can help you find healthier ways to manage and cope with everyday stresses and tackle complex mental health challenges.

I specialize in treating chronic insomnia with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I) and other sleep-impacting issues like anxiety, depression, and nightmares. You’ve taken such an important step by seeking support, and I know that it’s not easy. I invite you to connect with me to see how I can help.

Dr. David Kealy

My approach to psychotherapy is tailored to the particular problems, strengths, and experiences of each individual client. Although I am informed by my research – and the research and theories of others – on identity and personality, emotions and interpersonal relationships, and the effects of trauma, I base my work in therapy on an understanding of the individual. This individualized focus lends itself to a variety of issues that lead people to seek therapy. While every therapy is unique, I maintain an overall commitment to establishing a professional, safe, and comfortable therapeutic relationship to help clients address important personal goals and challenges.

Sarah Lally

I adopt a relational developmental framework to counselling, applying a trauma informed and anti-oppressive lens. My focus is on creating a warm, secure and trusting environment where you feel supported and seen. My instinct is to be curious about the impact of family, culture, community, religion, institutions and social norms on our development and relationships to ourselves, others and the world around us. The impact of these systems can be deep seated, like the roots of a tree. I am a warm, genuine, compassionate, curious and non-judgemental person. I love to laugh, I truly believe in the power of humour to connect us and lighten the shadows.

Erin Malki

My main focus is understanding the people I work with. I am curious about why we behave, think, and feel like we do and I want to help you know your life story more meaningfully. The most important relationship you can have is the one you have with yourself. My goal is to help people learn how to reconnect and rediscover themselves, with the aim of cultivating a more compassionate and understanding relationship with oneself, ultimately leading to a greater understanding of who you truly are. As a directive therapist, my approach is marked by a profound intuition, a keen attunement to others, and an unwavering sense of compassion. In our sessions, we’ll delve into the art of emotional regulation and fortify the mind-body connection.

Bruce Avery

My name is Bruce Avery and I work as a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Certified Sex Therapist (AASECT) and I’m the Founder of Avery Therapy Centre & Stellium Sex Therapy. I work with a wide range of people who may seek increased perspective, self-understanding, and clarity in their everyday lives. I also work with people who may feel that anxiety, depression, or past trauma is hindering them from achieving their goals.

When working with me, you can expect to be treated with respect, care, and compassion. It is my intention to develop a foundation of trust and security and an environment in which you can explore your inner world and feel more empowered. My practice is trauma and culture informed.
