Therapists in M5T

I specialize in working with anxiety, depression, stress/burnout, confidence issues, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, 2SLGBTQ+ concerns, and take a special focus in working alongside neurodivergent individuals and borderline personality disorder. I work from the position and understanding that life can be painful but we do not need to suffer. I view adversity as existing on a continuum, where pain is an unavoidable part of the human experience within the context of a persons life. Where healing takes time, and patience but it is worth the struggle, and effort to make the journey there for ourselves.

You enjoy close relationships, set clear goals, and have the drive to achieve. However, sometimes you become disconnected — Disconnected from your relationships and who you want to be. Maybe the disconnect is mild. Or maybe it’s more serious. You have spent months,… or years, striving to connect with your best self. This may be one of those times. You may have a goal but are unsure about how to get there. Perhaps you are struggling with motivation and self doubt, just surviving, but not thriving! Life isn't about survival its about living!

What brings you here? Do you feel stuck in your life and thought patterns? Perhaps you are struggling with overwhelming life events or even powerful feels of anxiety and despair. Or maybe you want to strengthen or create more meaningful and relationships in your life. Do you want to find a way to reengage with yourself and thoughts to live a more free and authentic life?

My approach is client-centred, which means I don't have a "one size fits all" method to therapy. I have worked with people from all different walks of life. My goal is to provide you with a safe space to speak about whatever issues you need help with each session. My experience has primarily been working with individual adults of all ages, however I have also done some assessment work with children and adolescents.

You're so good at intellectualizing things but it's hard to slow down and make space for your emotions. Sometimes you feel "stuck" in your mind, wondering WHY you feel the way you feel. You often go on autopilot for days or weeks before the emotional overwhelm catches up with you. The anxiety, perfectionism, uncertainty, negative body image, worries, and internal clutter spin like a washing machine in your head. It's too much, so you find comforting ways to numb out... Still, you want to understand your patterns and process your past. You are ready to put in the work to finally feel grounded.

Hi, I'm Vic! Are you struggling with body image, self-esteem, or binge eating? Do you want to connect with a therapist who is trained to support you in processing and healing trauma? I'm a warm and compassionate therapist dedicated to guiding individuals like you towards healing and self-compassion. My approach is rooted in over a decade of experience in social services, continuous learning, and my own lived experience as a queer, fat-identified person. I'm committed to creating a safe, non-judgmental space where we can explore your unique challenges and strengths together.

Whether you have been struggling for years with addiction, anxiety, symptoms of depression, or other mental health difficulties, or have just recently become aware of a desire to change your life in some way, you deserve support. My name is Jeremy McGregor and I am a registered psychotherapist who regularly supports clients with a wide range of life challenges, specifically in the field of addiction and mood related issues. I specialize in helping clients make changes to substance use habits, gain control over anxious and/or depressive thinking, and/or improve stress management and emotion regulation skills.

Being a human in this world is fucking HARD. From the many pressures and stressors of surviving under capitalism, living with the impacts of traumatic experiences and systemic oppression, balancing social and familial expectations and norms with your own needs and hopes, and navigating identity and relationships; all of these things exert significant pressures on our bodies and minds. If you are struggling, you are not alone. I know that being asked to "think more positively" about painful experiences isn't helpful for many and can be profoundly invalidating so I won't do that! What I will do is provide a space to process your pain.

My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy and sensitivity, valuing the cultural origins of each individual. I believe in a holistic and integrative approach to psychotherapy that encompasses all aspects of a person's being. Understanding one's functioning and how to navigate change with serenity is an essential aspect of my approach. By combining neuropsychological and psychological perspectives, I have developed a comprehensive framework that addresses the interconnectedness of mind and brain. In my practice, I am committed to embracing diversity and promoting the dignity of each individual.

I am intentional about offering a warm and non-judgemental space for individuals to share their concerns in a safe environment. I will collaborate with you in your healing journey and tailor therapy in a way that makes sense to you. My practice includes using components from evidence-based approaches, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), narrative therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

Are you trying to make sense of your feelings after a difficult transition, traumatic event, or painful loss, and seeking healthier ways of coping? I am here to support you.

Has your anxiety left you stuck in a relentless cycle of worrying, obsessing, and avoiding? Have you been suffering from panic attacks and fear having another one? Are you struggling with crippling shyness and feelings of insecurity? Do you find yourself obsessing about contamination, the well-being of yourself or others, your sexuality or relationships, or the sense of needing things to be “just right?” Do you find yourself desperately attempting to get rid of these thoughts and feelings? Are you ashamed of these thoughts and worry that they mean something about you? I want to assure you of one thing - you are NOT your thoughts.

Growing up in a society and culture that can make it hard to open up about problems, we can miss how professional help can empower us to tackle our addictions, heal anxiety and anger, and create fulfilling relationships by overcoming our insecurities and learning how to argue better. I have always been interested in deeply exploring how to be a more confident man who I respect with healthier habits, being mentally stronger and well in my mind and heart, and being more capable of handling conflict within romantic or family relationships. Let's connect if you're looking to improve your life in these matters.

Every person is unique as her/his circumstances differ. I believe one needs to feel understood before any changes can occur. I will be on your side and understand what you are going through. You will never feel judged, and together we will draw a plan to get you where you want to be. I support adults dealing with issues such as depression and anxiety, and dealing with major life changes. I help people cope with work-related life stressors, relationship/marriage breakdowns, and adjusting/planning the retirement phase. I am a seasoned therapist with experience in hospital, school board, family health team and private agencies.

At the end of the day, therapy is about being listened to, being heard. There may be difficult experiences in your life that you are carrying alone right now. I can assure you, it doesn’t have to be that way. My job as therapist is to make it easy to sit with and explore the difficult stuff. I do this by removing many of the barriers that ever made it hard: by listening attentively without judgement, meeting you wherever you’re at, and showing up with patience, curiosity, and compassion. In this, I support clients to build new habits and change their relationship with themselves and others for the better.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist of CRPO and a Canadian Certified Counsellor of CCPA (Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association), who have been dealing with a broad range of issues in various fields since completing my master’s degree, majoring in Counselling Psychology in 2000. As a registered psychotherapist, I am confident that I have trained in various evidence-based approaches, and have been trying to integrate them based on clients’ wants/needs.

If you are struggling and seeking support, you are not alone. Loss, trauma, conflict, life changes, and emotional and mental suffering do not discriminate. Any of us can go through difficult times—some more than others—but everyone has personal knowledge of suffering in their lives. Therapy is not easy, and there is no quick fix, but I am here to work with you, to hear and understand you, and to support your self-discovery process. I want to learn about your story, path, and beliefs, and together with you identify your strengths and explore areas where you might try new ways of being.

This is a space for you to learn more about yourself as you embrace change, life transitions, loss, grief and personal growth. With care and curiosity we can create an inner environment that holds the potential for courage, compassionate witnessing and transformation. I assist clients in building a deep relationship with themselves, so they can live feeling more aligned and centered within and more connected to the world around them. I believe you are the expert of your lived experience and we will work collaboratively towards your desired goals.
