Green Shield Canada Therapists in Cochrane, AB

Dr. McGrath believes we all have the ability to solve our problems. We may feel ‘stuck’ from past traumas or stresses or overwhelmed by present events. When we experience stress or trauma, it can be difficult to access these solutions because we are weighed down by our emotions. At Healing Change Centre, Dr. McGrath’s role is to facilitate finding solutions during a crisis so that people know ‘they can get through tomorrow’. He also aids his clients in becoming more aware of their emotions and expressing them in a different way, so they have the ability to stay connected.

Helping clients work through these difficulties in a collaborative, safe and respectful manner in a healing relationship is her top priority.

My purpose is to assist people in restoring their wellness, in all its many forms. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their goals for therapy and choose the most helpful, individualized interventions that will allow them rediscover their inner strength and resilience, as they work through their current difficulties. I work from a "whole person" perspective, addressing the totality of an individual's mind, body, psyche, and spirit. Over my 20+ year career, I have had the fortune of working with individuals experiencing eating disorders, depression, anxiety, workplace injuries, and trauma-related issues, such as PTSD.

Hi! Let’s take a deep breath: you’ve made it past the first step of identifying you need some help. In a world that is often too loud and busy, it is easy to fall into thought patterns that you are lacking; as a therapist, it is my role to help you shift that narrative from deficit to plenty. I believe mental health is fluid experience and that understanding your emotions and building meaningful coping strategies is key to sustainable resilience. My role is to create a safe and empathetic space for you to be vulnerable and show up as your authentic self. My practice style is grounded in attachment-based and family systems theory.

I am a professional therapist with over 20 years experience counselling couples, individuals, and families with relationship and personal issues, as well as supervising therapists and facilitating retreats. I truly enjoy helping couples reconnect and bring back the passion in their marriage. I also love helping clients meet their own individual goals such as increased self esteem, stress management and overcoming depression, along with many others. I seek to offer a compassionate approach and sensitivity to your issues, so that you can feel understood without judgement, and also use the latest training to help therapy be as effective as possible.

Courage, moderation, hope, wisdom, love, meaning and purpose, these are some of the qualities we wish for when we are struggling and in pain. If you or someone close to you are looking to embody these types of virtues in the face of adversity, I would like to offer my support.

My 20+ years experience working with couples and individuals will be noticed. Relationships, Communication, Men's issues and Identity formation are all areas I excel at. I also get to the heart of things efficiently and concisely. Those who have worked with me in the past really appreciate my warmth and how easy it is to get to know me. I am a registered counsellor with the CCPA, and have been a careful student of everything that can help a couple and consistently deliver excellence in the counselling experience.

Maybe you struggle with constant guilt, anxiety, feeling disconnected, struggling with ADHD, your job, parenting, balancing all your responsibilities, or just not knowing what you want. Perhaps you struggle with not feeling good enough, or you often find yourself putting everyone else’s needs first- even if it comes at the expense of your needs being compromised. You might find it hard to accept help, rest, or ask for what you want due to fears of inadequacy, rejection, or guilt. These patterns may be lifelong or recent. Either way, I’m here to help. You don’t have to figure this out alone—it's too much for one person to carry.

It is important to feel comfortable and confident in a therapist who understands that change takes courage. On this journey, I believe it is my responsibility to provide a place of safety for us to explore your inner world, your life experiences, and your relationships at a pace that feels right for you.

Is stress taking its toll on you lately? Are you running on autopilot or not coping as well as you used to? You may be behaving in ways that are not aligned with the person you want to be. Using a focused approach, I want to help you make strides in the life areas that matter most. Stressors are a part of life, but it is how we perceive stress and handle it that can make the difference between surviving or thriving. The pain of your past may be keeping you stuck in certain patterns of behaviour. Under stress, you may be hard on yourself and others, shutdown, or become overwhelmed. Change is possible and now is the time!
