Find a Therapist

David Holmes

I specialize in two areas. Men’s sexual health and relationship concerns, where we co-examine the psychological, biological, social, and behavioural factors behind sexual issues or relationship insecurities that are creating barriers and holding men back from connecting.

I also help men explore work and life transitions: stressors that make people resistant to change. For some, it can be examining their “blind spots” that prevent them from recognizing the right time to make a transition.

I use a strengths-based approach to move you from where you are to where you want to be. I provide a caring and nurturing space for clients to express feelings, emotions, behaviours, and relationships.

Cameron Gibson

My experience working within interdisciplinary treatment teams taught me that measurable changes to mental health function are critical. I have found that the counselling process can be vague, unstructured, and without clear timelines. I set clear goals with clients and remain accountable to treatment progression and achieving therapeutic outcomes. Struggling with mental health concerns is common, and I aim to normalize this with clients so we can start treatment. I do not want to just work in the field of mental health, but want to change it. I want men to speak up and get help when they cannot cope.

Joe Ramirez

I am a Certified Adlerian Psychotherapist, owner of ClearCounselling.ca, specializing in working with Men’s Sexual Health and Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse. I work with clients from an empowering approach to move through barriers in self, relationships, work, anxiety/depression, grief/loss, identity/meaning, communication, and sex.

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.

Mr. Joel Brass

It’s tough to be a man. I know. I’ve been one all of my life. Whether it be emotional or sexual intimacy issues, depression, anxiety, self-esteem and the over-reliance on career, substances, money or sex, men can get lost in a thousand different ways. For 36 years now I have been counselling men and know this territory inside and out.

Meena Hira

My goal is to create an open and nonjudgmental space for you to work towards your goals & your healing at your own pace. I work with issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, identity, life stress, racism/discrimination, and more. I work from an approach called Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) which helps clients bring awareness to their underlying emotions and break the cycles that make them feel stuck. I offer virtual & in-person sessions in Vancouver, BC. Let’s start with a free phone consultation! You can contact me by email: [email protected] or check out my website for the online booking link.

David Chacon Valenzuela

I believe in using our Diversity as an instrument to support people in their growth, rather than as a weapon to hurt ourselves and others. Therefore, I am committed to providing a respectful, safe, and welcoming space regardless of age, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, socioeconomic condition, disability, or religion.

I bring different theoretical approaches to my practice, such as Psychoanalysis, Family Dynamics Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focus Therapy (CFT) and Traditional Indigenous Cultural practices. Services in English and Spanish, in-person or video sessions, and a sliding scale as needed.

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.

Justin Bagan

Feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges? Whether it’s anxiety, difficult relationships, substance use, depression, or feeling lost and disconnected, you’re not alone. With a background in addiction and substance use counselling, I’ve supported clients in discovering practical insights, tools, and resources to help them move forward. Successes with clients in personal well-being, relationships, family dynamics, coping, and adapting to change inform our work together.

I value and support you as you are. Clients describe me as a counsellor who genuinely listens and understands them. Let’s discover what works best for you, so you can maintain lasting relief, hope, and peace. If this is something that might interest you, I look forward to connecting. Let’s see what’s going on for you and where we can go from here.

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.

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.

Freeman Woolnough

How do we know what works – and why? I believe that most people can ultimately provide the answers for themselves; however, it may take some exploration. I therefore use strategies that are evidence-based and research-driven, to help clients build resilience and develop effective coping strategies.
A counsellor is someone who is there to provide guidance and support in times of unmanageable stress. While our sessions may draw from various counselling approaches, including CBT, SFBT, and Narrative Therapy, the client ultimately provides the backdrop – and puts in the work – that leads to lasting change.

Edon Zherka

Hi, I am a registered clinical counsellor and psychological first aid provider whose counselling work integrates emotional, physiological and social avenues to achieve lasting positive change. I have supported those struggling with depression, addiction, anxiety, eating disorders, co-dependency, life transitions, emotional regulation, stress management, attachment disorders, self-harm, OCD and other mental health issues. Using a cognitive-behavioural approach (CBT), I work with clients to break and replace self-defeating thoughts and behaviours. Having been raised in a bicultural home, I also recognize the important, yet often difficult, demands placed by family and culture and jointly seeks ways to balance such needs.
