I am a Registered Social Worker with the BC College of Social Workers and I work with Individuals, Couples and Families.

If you're feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, or lost at this point in your life, I will work with you to make sense of your experience in a way that empowers you to find your way forward. You may be having relationship difficulties, feeling generally unhappy or discontent with yourself, or simply struggling to find your place in the world. You may be grappling with anxiety, depression, addictions, grief, or experiencing the effects of trauma. Whether you are finding it hard to cope with recent challenges or have been grappling with your issues for many years, you don't have to go through it alone.

Are you looking for a therapist with lived experience and deep understanding of transgender or queer identities? Do you need a therapist who understands the challenges of navigating dating, situationships, sexuality, and relationships in a heteronormative world? As a queer trauma therapist, I dedicate myself to supporting clients in reclaiming their freedom, joy, and self-worth. I specialize in trauma and complex trauma healing. Through a relational approach, I will help you foster a sense of worthiness and security within yourself. You deserve to be authentically you, you deserve to feel joy in life.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Concordia University. I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry at McGill University and a Psychologist in the Centre for CBT Research, Training, and Intervention of the McGill University Health Centre. I help adults who are struggling with anxiety disorders (e.g., panic attacks, social anxiety, worry, phobias, health anxiety), obsessive-compulsive disorder, body dysmorphic disorder, depression, posttraumatic stress disorder, perfectionism, insomnia, hoarding, repetitive behaviours (e.g., tics, hair-pulling, skin-picking), stress, and relationship/self-esteem issues.

Are you are looking to gain insight about your recurring problems in relationship, wondering how to resolve conflict and co-empower rather than compete with loved ones? Do you feel stuck within recurring patterns leading back to to unresolved anger, discouragement, or worry? For over thirty years I have been helping individuals who have emotional or relationship blocks that may lead to relationship break-up, depression, anxiety, chronic anger, or addiction. In addition to individual sessions, I also support assist couples and families, validating each family members' need and helping facilitate communication without blame.

Do you struggle with finding clear direction and the way forward due to major changes in your life? Do you face anxiety, depression, or difficulty accepting and valuing who you really are? The therapy I practice is focused on helping adults to gain a true sense of themselves as individuals, to value and accept themselves, and to let this deeper sense of identity be the compass that guides us through our life journey. I'm empathic, experienced and an extremely good listener. My therapy approach combines deep insight with practical approaches for living out who you really are, without apology.

I am collaborative, empathetic, understanding, and hopeful in my work with clients. I am interested in learning about new people and clients often comment that this shows. I am also an award winning author having authored five books on modern CBT, specifically ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy).

Engaging in psychotherapy is a brave step towards reconciling with one's past, making amends with others, and finding peace with oneself. It's a unique relationship that lays the foundation for healing all other relationships. Psychotherapy, in its core, is a spiritual journey—a pilgrimage into the self. Just as a pilgrim walks from temple to temple, seeking enlightenment, an individual's therapeutic journey may involve multiple therapists. I might be your current one, but perhaps not your first nor your last. Each leg of this journey, with each therapist, requires courage and a faith that transformation is attainable.

"What shape waits in the seed of you to grow and spread its branches against a future sky?" Are you struggling with anxiety and/or depression? Do you feel driven to grow, yet are perpetually stuck? Are you navigating a particularly difficult life transition? I can help. I will provide you with a safe place to explore your unique situation and equip you with tools to work through it. I can meet with you in my beautiful, private office located in West Hamilton.

You are an individual. There is no one else quite like you. Your therapy should be as unique as you are. We are all the products of our past, from experiences that happened so long ago that they escape memory to what happened just as we opened the door to the present moment. Through it all, we learn the skills that protect us on this journey through the interpersonal world. We sometimes struggle to be our authentic selves because there is no SELF without the context of the OTHER. Each of us is a single being trying to be seen as we see ourselves in a never ending sea of often confusing but always important social interaction.

We are all on a path of healing and discovery that leads, eventually and inevitably, to the realization of our true potential. I see psychotherapy as a powerful companion on this journey - it is a helpful friend that can help ease the burden during dark times, and it is a ray of light that can guide us more quickly beyond our own limitations when we are moving towards a goal. My practice is based in modern cognitive therapy and the neuroscience of trauma, while always anchored in the wisdom of mindfulness, acceptance and nondual awareness.

At times, life can be difficult. We can be caught off guard when we are thrown that unexpected curveball. Many of us may feel stuck and think the rest of the world is passing us by. If you need to talk or get some things off your chest, I am here to listen and provide strategies that offer a sense of comfort and results. As a Psychotherapist and Social Worker, I currently provide psychotherapy to adolescents and adults while also offering highly supportive clinical supervision to graduate students and new practitioners.

I’m a fortunate man, really enjoying my life and my work. I am well, and I remember not being well; anxious, depressed, traumatized and clinically diagnosed with various psychiatric ailments. Life threw me some awful curves and I’ve experienced the therapy world as a client for many hundreds of hours in several of its forms. I have acted badly and I apologize to those I’ve hurt. I won’t indulge my humility here but I’ll be open if you ask. My practice is built in part on my personal experiences of suffering, change, and growth. I am a Registered Psychotherapist in the Province of Ontario.

Chad is an award winning therapist who doesn't actually enjoy writing in the third person. My main goal is to help people know how to be emotionally healthy using a combination of tools I've created through life experience and modalities like solution focused therapy, CBT, EFT, and DBT. I tend to be a bit different than traditional therapists as I often have more laughs than tears in my office, but either way, my hope is to help people feel cared about and safe enough to share their lives. Men (or anyone) who are nervous about therapy or people who have had a bad experience with it tend to really like my down to earth style.

Is stress interfering with school, your job, or relationships? Does it seem like anxiety is calling the shots? Maybe you’re feeling low, like depression is running the show; or simply not feeling quite like yourself.

I have a strong foundation in psychology and use various techniques to assist those struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship issues, anger management, low self-esteem, phobias, chronic pain, and PTSD.

Accepting New Clients. Are you underachieving in your relationships, with your partner, children, parents, or coworkers? Do you find yourself overwhelmed with stress, panic, anxiety, depression, or addiction? Do past traumatic events (abuse, neglect, family dysfunction), hurt you today? Even though it's normal for everyone to experience emotional pain, stress, and worry sometimes, do you feel your life becoming unmanageable and out of control? Therapy is a chance to take care of yourself, with someone attuned to your needs, and make progress on your individual goals. Learn tools for grounding and connecting to your values.

You've only got this life. If you are struggling, reach out. We are social beings and when we connect with each other life is a little better. Growth and change is an inside job. I believe there is a wisdom within you. I strive to turn you toward your inner strength and build a connection with yourself. When we feel a strong connection, we stop allowing the external world to impact how we feel and navigate. Our internal connection deepens all of your relationships and you begin to experience the intimacy you are seeking.

Your needs are at the forefront of our therapeutic journey. Whether you are grappling with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or personal transitions, you seek a space where you can express yourself openly and without judgment. Together, we will work towards building a trusting and supportive therapeutic relationship. We are here to help you explore new perspectives, develop coping mechanisms, and achieve the goals that matter most to you.

Do you ever feel like your stress, low self-esteem, low confidence, and possibly even anxiety, are getting in the way of you living your best life? Do you ever get told to “suck it up and be a man?” It is hard to manage these feelings on any given day, let alone a pandemic! Are you trying to quit smoking/drinking/drugs and looking for support, or for someone who just gets it? I can help explore these concerns and areas with you while offering different ways to cope and manage these overwhelming and “out of control” feelings.

My goal every day is to offer a supportive, practical approach to therapy. Throughout my career, I’ve tended to work primarily with people who have mood or anxiety difficulties. Some are undergoing or have undergone significant life transitions such as grief from loss. Others come to me for guidance around work-related stress or burnout. And others wish to examine the patterns and practices around their substance use.
