The concerns that I work best with are: couples counselling; anxiety; depression; general unhappiness; men's issues; panic; stress; trauma; and personal growth.
It can be difficult to go to counselling, particularly for the first time. Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with is an important, and at times challenging, process. You likely want someone that can give you direction or tools, but also you connect with and feel supported by. I too feel this is important and strive to provide you with an experience that is both warm / caring AND competent/ knowledgeable. For many years I have worked with individual's and couple's concerns in this manner. I specialize in helping individuals or couples move forward, heal their pain, feel happier and find more peace.

I am a registered psychologist and work in Cochrane Alberta. I meet people where they are at and help them get where they want to be. I offer support from a non-judgmental and empathetic place as relationship is paramount in any successful therapeutic relationship. I work from a handful of different frameworks and have a more direct approach to therapy. I work mostly with individuals and couples. I specialize with couples and have had training through the Gottman Institute, CBT for couples as well as Relational Life Therapy for Couples. Male Depression is another area of specialization in my practice.

My role as a counsellor is to create a judgment-free, compassionate space where we can explore and achieve your goals and desired outcomes in therapy. As we work together, I can help you develop awareness about your thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and relationships, while examining how they shape the person you are today. This awareness can help guide your future decision-making and problem-solving skills, so that your unique personal and relational needs may be met.

Experiencing adverse life events like trauma during our early years can dramatically impact our quality of life. By challenging this programming and recontextualizing it, we can develop a new sense of ourselves that is more resilient and better able to show up authentically in our relationships. Since trauma often occurs within a family dynamic, I am also able to effectively treat youth (12+) and families struggling with dysfunction.

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.

There are times in all our lives when we could use a little support. If you are dealing with depression, anxiety, chronic illness, insomnia, stress & overwhelm, or a sexual health concern, it can feel like a constant battle with your emotions, thoughts, and body. Some people are experiencing these challenges for the first time and aren't sure what to do. Others have been struggling for years and need a new sense of hope for lasting change. Seeking treatment can help you feel less lost and provide you with a roadmap for well-being.

I am passionate about helping people whose emotions have been in the driver's seat for too long, whether that be anxiety, shame, stress, or one of countless others. I work with individuals who identify as highly sensitive, those who struggle with anxiety and depression, and those who have been impacted by traumatic events in their lives. I emphasize learning and integrating skills to forge a healthy relationship with our emotions, something we have not all had the opportunity to develop. I love talking to people, hearing their story, and working together to balance acceptance of who we are with change that is meaningful and lasting.

I work from a client centered approach as the basis for our work together. We can then decide on which of the empirically supported approaches (or more likely which combination of approaches) is the best fit for you and your situation. The basis is a non-judgmental stance to what you face and designing a tailored, you-specific, empirically supported approach to help you gain a better understanding of your situation and more adaptive ways of managing or coping. I borrow from various approaches including client-centered, Cognitive-behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment, Mindfulness-based, Emotion focused, and insight oriented.

Is therapy for men different than it is for women?
Therapeutic treatments and types are the same for men as they are for women, with the same protocols followed and the same strategies employed. Discussing one’s feelings and emotions is an integral part of most therapies, and some men find doing so more challenging. Therapists can help clients through the process; some specialize in treating men for this reason.
How do you encourage a man to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love for the person while framing therapy as a tool for improving their life. Offering specific examples of how an individual’s behavior affected either himself or others should be done with compassion and with empathy. It may be useful to devise a game plan—breaking the process down into parts, such as finding a therapist, making appointments, and looking into insurance coverage.
How can men prepare for therapy?
Men can prepare for therapy by approaching the process with an open mind, being willing to talk about their challenges, and giving treatment the time to work. Before a session, an individual may want to reflect on how they’ve felt since the last session and what’s happened in their lives. It can be useful for men who struggle to recall their emotional states to write down notes between sessions about their response to a given event or how they were feeling at a particular time.
What should men know about the process of therapy?
One of the most common reasons men don’t seek therapy is the notion that there’s something wrong with them if they do. Men should know that just because they’re seeking therapy doesn’t mean they’re mentally ill or damaged in some way. In the same way people work on their bodies through exercise or a craft through practice, therapy can be a way to improve the mental and emotional skills needed to be productive and effective partners, employees, and people in all realms of life.
