Mr Douglas Matear

“Clients are the experts of their own lives, and wellness is not a state of being, but a state of action.”

Douglas Louis Matear is a long-time practitioner of EMDR but uses a variety of approaches that best suit the needs of his clients. His diverse work and life experiences suit him well in navigating difficult conversations. Early childhood trauma, the impact of abuse, anxiety, depression, and an anti-deficit frame are at the core of his work. Cross-cultural sensitivity and being a member of the LGBTQIA2P+ community have enriched his therapeutic approaches. He is further interested in stress reduction, mindfulness, the importance of exercise, and coaching clients to be the best they can be.

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.

Accepting NEW Clients (Individuals and Couples) – Are you feeling “stuck” in life and you’re looking for a way to better understand the steps forward? Have you heard of EMDR and you want to learn more about working through trauma and its impacts on your life? Is anxiety, stress, or low mood something you want to explore and learn strategies to cope differently? Are you a couple looking to work through infidelity, sexuality, or just simply want the skills to better communicate and understand each other?

I work with individuals and couples, where I also consider the impact of trauma and culture in the issues you’re looking to be supported with.

Andrew Wallace

One of the most noble pursuits and individual can have is to strive to lead a meaningful and purposeful life.  This can be an extremely difficult task, both in terms of determining what this personally means and then figuring out how to get there.  When we feel stuck and overwhelmed, other negative and self-limiting states also take shape including anxiety and depression, leaving us full of bad habits and desperate for change.  In the therapeutic work with Andrew, the aim is to uncover the root causes that inhibit fulfillment and to further apply practical strategies that will permit change and foster personal growth.

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.

Adam Manz

In my work with men, I provide a down-to-Earth space to sort through what’s happening emotionally, mentally, and relationally — without shame or pressure. Whether your goal is to change specific behaviours, communicate more effectively, understand triggers, or reconnect to yourself and the people around you, we move at a pace that feels safe and workable.

Ultimately, my job is to support you in building a life where you feel more grounded, more connected, and more able to trust yourself — in your relationships and in who you’re becoming. If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again — calmer, clearer, more connected, and more in control of your life — I’m here to walk alongside you in that process.

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

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.

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.

Megan Sutherland

Warm, accepting, inclusive and practical best describes my personal therapeutic style. I value careful listening, empathy, professional ethics and accountability, believing that all people possess intrinsic worth and have the capacity to realize this and make meaningful change in their lives.

I welcome clients with diverse backgrounds and needs, striving to cultivate a therapy space that is safe for all. I also recognize that men face unique challenges and barriers around seeking mental health support; my approach is to meet you where you’re at, at the pace that is right for you. Thank you for your interest in my practice. I look forward to hearing from you!

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.
