When overwhelming emotions limit the pursuit of our responsibilities or passions in life there are effective strategies that can help regulate and minimize the emotional storms as well as provide the resilience needed to thrive in your life despite those storms. Life can be very difficult, unlike physical pain that is usually hard to ignore therefore treatment is sought after, emotional pain is unfortunately often ignored hoping it goes away. Anger, stress, anxiety, low moods, loss and relationship upheavals are all issues that can be better worked through with professional support through those storms. My name is Tim Kahtava, I

My expertise is in working with clients who have recently experienced acute trauma. I help them manage situations where they are experiencing panic attacks, freezing in public or situations where they didn't before, anxious feelings and intrusive anxious thoughts. I also help to manage "re-living" experiences like flashbacks and nightmares following trauma. So if you've experienced an armed robbery, sexual assault, been cheated on, or anything else that challenged your way to cope and are having trouble finding your way back, I can help you reestablish a sense of safety again.

For some people, counselling can be a scary thing - sitting across from a stranger, not knowing what to expect, and not entirely sure if they want to share their story. I get it. That was my experience when I first saw a counsellor years ago. But what I quickly learned is that counselling is simply a conversation between two people who are mutually devoted to achieving a common goal. And as a counsellor, it is my desire to give you a safe place to have that conversation, to hear your thoughts and emotions, to understand your story, and then to journey with you toward a place of mental, emotional and spiritual wellness.

In the years I've been practising as a psychotherapist, I've learned the importance of developing a deep understanding of my clients and their struggles. I have eventually come to understand that this means I should strictly limit the number of clients I support. Rather than seek out as many clients as possible, I focus on a few clients in a deep and meaningful way. I am able to recall important details to make impactful connections across sessions because my focus is on a relatively small group of clients. Difficult times are inevitable. We all experience them and can sometimes use extra support.

I invite clients to explore and share their feelings and thoughts in a space of curiousity and acceptance. I hope to accommodate the ways that our body internalizes and expresses itself by taking a holistic approach that recognizes these various ways of understanding. This understanding can be stored in the body in various ways—intellectually, behaviourally, somatically (through the body), and even intuitively.

At times, we can find ourselves dealing with thoughts, feelings and life events that leave us experiencing profound emotions like loss, confusion or sadness. Whether the cause is based on childhood events, relationships, work or some unexpected occurrence, the effects are often fairly similar. It may be useful to consider that the goal of therapy is to bring about some kind of change - for example, going from where you are now (distress) to where you want to be (calm and centred). It's a life-changing journey I have had the privilege to accompany many clients on.

Un-controlled emotions can sabotage areas of our lives. Are you consistently angry? Or have anxiety and you're losing an appetite for life? Angry outburst can leave you embarrassed or potentially harm important relationships. You may feel a sense that life is out of control when you lash out, especially if it's towards people who didn't deserve it. High anxiety on the other hand can lead to insomnia, depression and the inability to cope with every day life. You may be asking, "Can I ever feel normal again?"

Clients I work really well with are interested in collaborating and brainstorming about the challenging situations and difficulties in their lives. Overtime, we work together to develop understanding and solutions. I particularly enjoy working with individuals who suffer from ADHD or are impacted by someone who has ADHD. Of course clients with ADHD also often have co-morbid conditions like anxiety, depression and PTSD; I am very happy to help them with the issues related to these problems as well.

Male Counsellors
As a man, why might I want to see a male therapist?
There are many reasons a man might wish to work with a male therapist, including a degree of shared identity, which may help client and therapist connect to each other and allow for a more free-flowing discussion of issues that can be deeply personal. Some men may feel more comfortable talking to a male therapist about relationship concerns, the pressures they feel around the roles society and family place on men, career or job challenges, self-esteem, or anger problems. For some men who have not had a male role models in their lives, a good male therapist may be especially helpful.
How can I find out about a therapist’s experience treating men?
Individuals looking for treatment should feel comfortable directly asking a therapist about their history treating men overall and the issues that arise in therapy with men. A good therapist will be happy to discuss such matters as well as their educational background, approach to treatment, and how they think they can aid a prospective client. Prospective clients should also ask what the expectation is for treatment, and what the fee structure is, and whether and which insurance plans are accepted.
Can clients benefit from having a therapist of the same gender?
Therapy is not gender-specific, but some men as well as women feel more comfortable opening up about their experiences and history with a male therapist. An individual may feel that they have to explain less background information and be on the same page more quickly, particularly when discussing gender-specific challenges, in the case of male clients. Some women have prior negative experiences with women that predispose them to prefer working with a male in therapy. That said, a good clinician can transcend most if not all gender concerns. Ultimately, the most important factor in therapy is the connection and trust the client is able to build with the practitioner.
Would a male therapist have specific training in treating men?
Generally, no. There are no certifications for treating men specifically, but there are continuing education classes that therapists may take that focus on treating men as a group. There are many therapists who focus on men and male issues in their treatment and therefore have experience and expertise in this domain.
