I utilize an integrated framework, which draws from attachment, psychodynamic, gestalt, trauma-processing, and cognitive behavioural therapies.
My passion for mental health was fostered during my teaching career when I realized I wanted to help the students and staff on a deeper level. I strongly believe that when people are given the time and space to understand what is happening within their mind and body, remarkable change can occur. In my career, I have had the opportunity to assist teens, adults, first responders and vets who have suffered from adverse traumatic events to regain their identity, heal past hurts, and discover the possibilities of their future.

Perceptions...This is what we live out. The way we see the world and what we expect based on what we have experiences so far. Sometimes life does not ask you what you want, and it can get frustrating, and painful trying to live with, date or communicate with someone in your life that you can not understand. What has your history been? What did it teach you ? What do you want from your life? What would it take to get that? Sometimes an outside perspective can help you to see more clearly. Reaching out to someone with an objective view can help. I am trauma informed and specialize in Cluster B Personality Disorders.

Our humanness naturally predisposes us to vulnerabilities and it is in those vulnerabilities that resilience is cultivated. There are times, however, when we are filled with uneasiness, meaninglessness, unhappiness and/or uncertainty and our struggle seems unbearable. Undoubtedly, life presents us with challenges and I firmly believe these can be transitory circumstances that can reawaken us by opening up opportunities for our attainment of greater self-awareness and deeper and more meaningful sense of our authentic selves, of gratitude, courage and resiliency and of preparation for meaningful change, growth and sense of freedom.

Grief is a deeply painful, lonely, and isolating experience. When someone we care about dies, our relationship ends in divorce, or we experience any of the other 40 forms of loss, we often feel unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with our emotions. The wonderful news is, grief does not have to be a life sentence of suffering. There are actionable tools that can help you to move beyond the pain caused by a loss in your life. Whether you are grieving due to a recent loss or a loss from long ago, it is never too soon or too late to heal your heart.

My counselling practice draws primarily from person-centered, solution-focused and cognitive-behavioural therapies.
I believe we all have internal strengths and resources to work through life's challenges. Sometimes we lose sight of these strengths, sometimes there are gaps in our skills set, or perhaps there are blind spots in how we view a problem situation. My role is to help clients explore, discover and understand themselves and to help clients learn new skills and strategies to address the presenting concern.

I take a client-centred approach to therapy, which also integrates play therapy, attachment theory, narrative therapy, somatic therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, mindfulness, Theraplay, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and family systems.
I'm a Registered Provisional Psychologist, and I have experience and a special interest in working with preschool and school-aged children (ages 4-18). I believe that children learn self-regulation, problem-solving skills, and resiliency as they experience safe and secure attachments. I have received additional training/certification in Therapeutic Play Skills, Circle of Security Parenting, Introductory Theraplay & MIM, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Compassionate Inquiry– Dr. Gabor Mate, and Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST).

I use approaches such as Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT).
As an attachment focused and trauma informed therapist, I work with individuals and couples to identify how traumatic experiences, grief and loss, experiencing neglect or abuse, and other distressing experiences may be keeping you stuck in a pattern of distress. Unresolved trauma can maintain feelings of depression, anxiety, self criticism, difficulty regulating or expressing your emotions, difficulty in feeling close with others, as well as difficulty in setting boundaries. It can also contribute to PTSD, phobias, disordered eating, and a number of other mental health challenges.

I work primarily from a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ( CBT) lens, which essentially involves uncovering your core beliefs, and reassessing any "negative" core beliefs that are impacting you, reshaping them to more positive ones that better align with you and your therapeutic goals.
Hi, my name is Liam, and it is my hope that through my client-centred approach, we can create a space where you feel heard and seen! We all have unique lived experiences, and it is those experiences that shape who we are — you are the expert of your life, and my goal is to help guide you towards self-actualization. Trust and safety are the important groundwork for therapy, and I like to cultivate that through humour where it's appropriate as well as open, empathetic listening. I like to work with a variety of presenting problems, but specialize in anxiety, perfectionism, relationship problems, and men's issues.

I use Strength Based therapeutic techniques such as CBT tailored to each individual.
My primary responsibilities include autism diagnostic assessments and IQ and achievement tests administration. My primary focus is working with children, adolescents, couples, and adults on the autism spectrum, ADHD, and other developmental disabilities. Other areas of focus include psychoeducation of the diagnosis to help tailor supports and strategies that would be adapted based on the individual's strengths, needs, and wellbeing. I view Autism as a different style of learning and understanding the world around them and use this framework to interpret and understand their challenges and work on interventions.

My approach promotes well-being on multiple levels and includes somatic therapy, EMDR, hypnosis, mindfulness, as well as more traditional CBT and solution-focused talk therapies.
Sometimes, the more you try to hold it together on the outside, the more you fall apart on the inside. If you're feeling anxious, depressed, devastated, confused and overwhelmed by daily responsibilities, life transitions, relationships, grief or trauma, you're probably striving to get back on your feet. It happens to all of us and even the strongest can benefit from taking time to explore (often hidden or forgotten) inner resources. It's not a sign of weakness to seek support, but of wisdom: when what used to work no longer does, it's time to explore alternative options.

I aim to be a lifeline for you as you face vulnerabilities, strong emotions and difficult obstacles.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Counsellors
How does cognitive behavioural therapy work?
Cognitive behavioural therapy works by exploring how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. CBT helps you identify distortions in your thinking. For example, you may tend to jump to the worst case scenario catastrophising or think in extremes (all-or-nothing thinking). A therapist can teach you how to push back against those thoughts to ultimately change your feelings and behavior for the better. They can also provide coping skills to better deal with stressors and challenges.
When do I know to seek treatment with cognitive behavioural therapy?
It’s reasonable to consider cognitive behavioural therapy if you struggle to manage difficult emotions or behaviors to such an extent that you are not getting the most out of life on a day-to-day basis. If you want a shorter term, concrete, skills-based approach, CBT is a great option. (By contrast, other types of therapy may devote more time to exploring your past and its effects.) The decision to seek CBT also depends on the condition you’re treating; CBT is an effective treatment for anxiety, depression, trauma, and many other disorders.
How can I find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else?
To find a cognitive behavioural therapist for someone else, you may want to begin by discussing the person’s problem, researching cognitive behavioural therapy, and assessing whether the approach is the right fit. You could then reach out to a few cognitive behavioral therapists in this directory, explain the scenario, have a consultation with those available, and determine who could be a good match.
Why is CBT such a popular form of therapy?
CBT has become a popular form of therapy because it is effective and accessible. Robust research has demonstrated that CBT is an effective treatment for many mental health conditions. And CBT can be learned in relatively few sessions, which means that many people can engage in the process, afford it, and see results quickly. It involves learning concrete skills such as disputing unhelpful thoughts; these skills can also be taught and spread widely.
