Daniel Cook

Compassion and straightforwardness make up the cornerstone of how I work. As a counsellor, my goal is to help people recognise where they are, how they got there, and assist them in building a path forward.

I have been a counsellor since 2003 and hold a Masters of Education with a speciality in counselling. I am registered to provide counselling services for the First Nations Health Authority. You may be eligible for reimbursement of counselling services if you have a benefits package through your employer. Please check with them to see if you qualify.

I offer a complimentary telephone consultation so that we can determine if working together would be a good fit for you.

Dr. John Álvarez de Lorenzana

Ever feel like saying F#CK My Life? Whether you are stressed out, burnt out or someone feeling increasingly overwhelmed, I am here to support you. I specialize in anger, burnout, addiction and relationship challenges. Currently I’m training in psychedelic-assisted therapy at VIU and work with men integrating spiritual and other non-ordinary states of consciousness. My counselling style is pragmatic and heartfelt. Why is this happening is an important question to ask. The answers often lie in our own past, habit energy and relationships. One of the main goals in doing this deeper work is to reclaim what has been lost or forgotten. Together we will stop the emotional toll and get you back to doing what you love or uncover what that is. Individual, Couple & Group rates available.

Kevin Berry

I work online with couples and individuals across Canada (BC, YT, NWT, SK, MB, Nunavut) who want to live with more joy and meaning in their lives in spite of the trauma they’ve faced. Though the past can hold us back, it does not have to define us. The counselling I offer can help you process and integrate your past so that it doesn’t get so much in the way of you achieving what you want in life – whether that be progressing your life and career goals, deepening your relationships with others, processing grief and loss, becoming more confident in your personal identity, or managing and growing through depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. I work to connect you with your emotions and build concrete skills that will help you thrive.

Toby Macklin

Based in British Columbia, I work online with men across Canada who want to live more satisfying and meaningful lives, often in the face of trauma. My clients have realized that events in their past still have a hold on them and are preventing them from living the way they want. Many have had physically, emotionally, or sexually abusive childhoods, or have had frightening or painful experiences as younger adults. Though they may have come through the worst, they find their lives still affected years later. The counselling I offer can help you recover and grow through depression, anxiety, and traumatic stress. Remote therapy only.

Paul Brennan

I am a private practice psychologist focusing on depression, anxiety, anger and related mood issues. Overall, my approach is more on the structured side. I approach therapy as a set of moves that anybody can learn in order to help themselves work with thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Although history can be important, the main focus of my work is here and now, because that’s the only time when change can happen.

John Reilly

I am a registered social worker (MSW) with an eclectic skill set who practices from an anti-oppressive perspective. I’ve completed training in Somatic Experiencing® Trauma Therapy, Expressive Arts Practice, Non-Violent-Compassionate Communication, mindfulness-based practices and use the primary masculine archetypes to support transformation in the lives of men of all sexual orientations. I provide therapy for individuals of all genders who are seeking greater vitality. I have experience supporting individuals recovering from trauma, problematic substance use, mental health issues and relationship or workplace issues. My skills provide an eclectic palate through which to engage the individual in creative processes of transformation.

Valerie MacNeil

Are you experiencing overwhelming emotions, unwanted thoughts, challenging relationships, codependency, unhelpful habits or addiction? You are not alone. If you are feeling stuck in life, I can help by listening to your concerns and providing the support you need for anxiety and depression, grief, loss, transition, stress, addiction and codependency.

The primary modality I work from is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, however, I incorporate many elements into the work I do with clients depending on their needs.

I realize that the decision to start therapy can be terrifying and takes a lot of courage, believe me, I have been there myself. Contact me for a free 20-minute phone consultation.

Vancouver Island Men’s Therapy Centre Society

The Men’s Therapy Centre provides trauma counselling for masculine-identifying, gender non-conforming and Two-Spirit community members who are survivors of physical, emotional, or sexualized violence. Our registered clinical counsellors specialize in working with community members using therapeutic modalities ranging from art therapy to somatic experiencing to help community members cope with the experience of trauma. Our mandate supports many vulnerable community members who would otherwise not have access to trauma therapy.

Mr Geoff Williams

I primarily work through a safe and effective therapeutic relationship. My approach blends safety with a change orientation. While I use EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, I draw most from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which incorporates mindfulness and CBT. Specializations include Relationship Break-up and Affair Recovery; Boundaries and Communication; Mental Health treatment for ADHD, depression, and anxiety; and Addictions.

Calvin Black

I work with individuals and couples from a Narrative Therapeutic lens. I have also had experience working with men who have experienced abuse and trauma. I am an experienced counsellor and work out of the Arbour Counselling Centre in Victoria, BC. Before counselling, I worked with youth through a local church for many years.
