My name is Toby Rader, as a Narrative Therapist I believe that people are multi-storied. I am most interested in exploring the narrative's that make up your story. Whether that is re-membering those you have lost through crafting a new relationship with grief or engaging in an externalizing conversation about depression & anxiety. I work alongside individuals, couples and families, primarily focusing on adults and elders. I have a back ground in working with mental health and substance use rooted in person centred care.

I have experience supporting clients with ADHD or Autism, parents of complex children, and families. I hope to support you also!

Are you a gay man who is overwhelmed by the intensity of your feelings? Do certain situations feel triggering or remind you of a past trauma? It can feel unbearable when you’re just trying to keep it together, and hoping nobody notices when you start breathing rapidly, sweating, or shaking. Even between intense moments, there can be a low-level anxiety that feels like it’s always lurking, ready to take over at any time. Not to mention the shame about not feeling in control of your responses. The good news is that there are specific skills that can be learned to listen to your emotions and think about your past in a whole new way.

I help men that: struggle to understand and communicate emotions so instead bottle them up; overwhelmed with anxiety and anger; feel helpless and passive and thereby suppress their feelings; get lost and stuck in depression; struggle with low self-esteem; tried counselling but never discovered the roots of their issues, their progress plateaued, or didn't gain anything from it; and who struggle to achieve deep, lasting changes in their feelings, thoughts, and behaviours. If you resonate with any of the above, you are ready to stop talking in circles about your issues and start tackling your problems head-on to make real progress.

Ethical, caring and safe relationships form the fabric of a rich and joyful life, therefore, individual and community healing go hand in hand. We believe in the healing power of a therapeutic relationship, where clients can feel valued and empowered to envision, practice and create change. Creating this relationship is the starting point for therapy. In all aspects of our work - therapy, assessment, consultation and education - we are committed to our clients and to the bonds of family, friendship and community that sustain them. We are proud of the way that we, as a practice, contribute to community health.

Hello and welcome I approach my work as a counsellor and art therapist with the philosophy that every human being is the expert in their own life, and holds an innate capacity and wisdom for healing. I like to think of therapy as a journey on which I am a fellow traveller, walking alongside you with genuine compassion, curiosity, and acceptance. I will offer support and encouragement on this journey and create a space for connection, expression, and discovery. I am particularly passionate about combining psychotherapy and art therapy to work with folks who find that words alone are limiting.

No matter what the presenting issue, everyone has a story that deserves to be told, heard, and understood. Whether you are trying to navigate the ups and downs of daily life, grief, anxiety, depression, past trauma, life transitions or strained relationships, it is often unprocessed feelings and unconscious beliefs that lead to difficulty in our lives. With compassionate and caring support, it is possible to access those vulnerable parts of yourself, move through those emotions and beliefs and find calm, clarity and confidence on the other side.

What is trauma? How trauma can affect my life, the lives of those I love and even my community. How does trauma affect different aspects of my life, such as my interpersonal relationships, my physical and financial health, my sexual lifestyle, my spirituality and, of course, my mental and emotional health? Working on traumatic experiences, whether long-term, recent, intergenerational or ongoing trauma, is not easy work, but when done with support and empathy, it is exceptional work that is worth doing first for ourselves, but also for those we love and our community.

I believe strongly that every person has the innate ability to enact the changes they wish to see in their lives, and I strive to be a support and guide during that growth. Often when we are feeling depressed, anxious, or out of sync with our loved ones we feel like there is something wrong with us; we struggle to connect our current feelings with our previous experiences. Or perhaps we make the connection on a thinking level but are unable to gain a felt sense of wellness. I will help you make sense of your history and your current experiences, allowing for a deep connection to the self and, in turn, deep connection to others.

I came into this field by accident, but after realizing the importance of relationships I stayed. My background is in working with youth, and families, aiming to meet you where you are at in your journey. Having experienced culture-clash myself, I know how hard it can be to find wellness and belonging when incongruence exists at home. Clients of all demographics are welcome.

You work hard to make relationships work, work hard at your job, you try your best to ensure everyone else around you is happy but end up losing yourself amid this. Even though you feel isolated, unheard, unseen you keep going. You want to stand up for yourself but don’t know how to. At times you feel overwhelmed with emotions thus feeling lost, helpless and anxious. You wonder why you connect to people a certain way and wish you could have healthier/sustainable relationships, wish you could cope better in difficult situations/be in charge of the way you express your feelings.

Are you grappling with symptoms of anxiety or depression? Feeling overwhelmed by stress? Dealing with the aftermath of a relationship with a narcissist? Perhaps your past trauma weighs heavily on your present? Or maybe you're seeking better control over your career or personal life? No matter the struggle, life's complexities can take a toll. Strategies for a Healthier Mindset I offer supportive strategies to help you navigate these challenges, providing tools to destress and foster a fresh perspective.

Anxiety. Depression. Panic. Anger. Heartbreak. They make life feel chaotic, frightening, and lonely. If we don't have enough support to process our intense emotions, it can feel like they take over our bodies completely. We might spiral into dark places or suddenly lash out when triggered. But it doesn't have to be that way! Here's how life could feel instead: like you have easy access to your kind, calm and rational thoughts; you have stable close relationships, and all the motivation you need to create the life you want.

As a mental health professional, I specialize in working with individuals who are struggling with a variety of mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, interpersonal conflicts, and personal growth. I am dedicated and passionate about helping my clients recognize their potential and overcome challenges. I enjoy working with a diverse range of clients, including youth, young adults, and adults, providing them with a safe and supportive environment to explore their emotions and experiences.

Our healing begins with an insight into our experiences and the meanings we have attributed to them. I will work with you through a trauma-informed lens to explore the meanings contributing to your mind, body, and spiritual well-being. Together we can regain agency over your narratives and cultivate the wisdom to navigate future embodied experiences. I believe that therapy is a relational process. I aim to help my clients with personal and social growth by nurturing a safe space. I will focus on working with what is present in the “here and now” while honouring the stories that shape how we think and feel. We heal in community.
