Vanessa Luis

Although I am a warm and bubbly individual, I’m available to discuss the difficult things we face as human beings. I strive towards holding hope for those who feel they have lost it. My goal is to walk alongside my clients as they cultivate healing, meaning, and inner peace. I offer professional, confidential, LGBTQ+ affirmative psychotherapy services for individuals, couples, and families. Some clinical issues I can support include (but are not limited to): Depression, Anxiety, Trauma and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), Relationship Issues, Self-Esteem, Identity, Grief, Life Transitions (e.g., divorce, parenthood, retirement), Pain and Chronic Illness, Interpersonal and Coping Skills

Jess Rathwell

I use warmth, humour, and emotional capacity to support people who are coping with challenges, overwhelm, grief and mental health concerns. I bring a compassion that allows folks to feel understood, respected, and that they are having a genuinely authentic conversation. Having worked in hospitals, prisons, public health, and other diverse settings, I bring an expansive tool kit of ways to support whatever hopes and goals you have for counselling.

Many men don’t talk about it openly, but feeling disconnected — from your partner, your emotions, or even from yourself — can quietly take a huge toll. Whether it shows up as withdrawal, shutting down, anger, overwhelm, ADHD-like overload, or not knowing how to express what you actually feel, the experience underneath is often the same: it’s lonely to carry life without feeling understood.

In therapy, I help men build the skills and inner foundation for healthier relationships — not just with others, but with themselves. I support clients navigating emotional shutdown, communication barriers, trauma, ADHD/ASD-related overwhelm, and the kind of quiet pain that rarely gets put into words.

I am part of the Chilliwack Vitality Collective team and sessions with me can be booked via text at 855-425-4310‬.

Andrew (Andy) Wilkins

Andrew (Andy) has extensive experience in coaching and counselling using CBT (cognitive-behavioural therapy) as well as EMDR. He supports his clients in getting the right tools to flourish in their daily lives and feel confident to overcome obstacles arising from stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, ADHD, grief, or relationship issues.

He has worked with a wide range of clients from post-secondary students to first responders and is familiar with helping people experiencing trauma injuries, including ICBC clients. He also often works with couples, having been trained in the Gottman Method.

John Woychuk

I have worked successfully with a lot of men in my practice. I understand how hard it can be for men to seek help. At the same time I know from experience that there’s tremendous benefit involved for those men who take that first step. My counselling approach is about compassion and non-judgement. Whatever is happening for you will be accepted and faced together. From a stance of respect and an underlying core belief that you have the wisdom within you to overcome your challenges, I will support you in recognizing and engaging powerful resources both within you and around you. Counselling theories and methodologies I use include Mindfulness and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

Michael Gintowt

Pragmatic and Solution Oriented. First, I clear up any vague or unclear treatment goals or confusions. Before assuming that there is a problem based on faulty thinking, I review the basic life situation to make sure that basic human needs are being met. I take into account any impulses and direction that come from the deeper, more authentic Self (psycho-spiritual issues). When indicated, I will work with dreams, metaphor, and imagination. On a good day, I help people make the necessary changes to their inner and outer worlds, so their goals are met.

Emad Seyed Sadr

I provide counselling services in French and English for individuals in matters related to anxiety, depression, life transition, gender, grief, loss and suicide. My practice is founded on the belief that you are not the “problems” present in your life, and that, above all, you are greater than the sum of the events in your life. As my counselling approach is strength-based, Solution-Focused and Narrative-rooted, our conversations will identify, explore and honour the big and small ways you defy and resist “problems”, while re-authoring a deeper and richer version of your life and journey.

Peter Jamieson

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor my approach is very pragmatic. I understand that when life is already hard the last thing a man needs is someone making it more complicated. I bring together my Master of Arts (Counselling Psychology) with my Master of Human Kinetics (Coaching Science) and my long-time experience as a high-performance sport coach and educator to create an approach that is solution-focused and positive. We’ll work as a team to create realistic goals, find the right tools for you, do the necessary work to move forward and make improvements in your life.

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.

Mr. Grant M. Waldman

Due to my own inter-generational trauma, I have been supporting men’s wellness for over 20 years. I have also been supporting Indigenous clients for over 10 years. More recently, in my work as Wellness Counsellor & Facilitator at Round Lake Treatment Centre, I have been specifically supporting Indigenous clients who have experienced inter-generational trauma (cultural, sexual, physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual abuses, neglect, abandonment, shame, and grief & loss). As a result, my clients present with addiction, anxiety, depression, isolation, self-harm/suicide ideation, anger, and other co-occurring disorders.
