I am an award-winning social worker and I have over 10 years of experience working with a diverse population struggling with a broad range of issues, including life transitions, relationships, anger, trauma, anxiety, trauma, depression, and loss, just to name a few. I work with individuals, adults and youth, families, and couples seeking support in sorting through the challenges.

Everything was okay until it wasn’t any more. You're tired of feeling so stuck, overwhelmed and ashamed all the time and you’re ready to make a change.

Accepting New Clients! Imagine a therapy clinic that didn't just ask you how your week was, but instead created a plan to help you overcome your problems. Now imagine being matched up with a therapist that is specialized in the problem you face.

We are a clinic with over 40 therapists, all with different specializations and areas of expertise. We are here to help you overcome the issues you face.

My clients usually come to therapy for relief from their mental health symptoms. They are often feeling overwhelmed, have been thinking about making changes for a long time and are feeling stuck in how to move forward. Together we look at the issues, explore how it is impacting their lives, and come up goals and a treatment plan. This treatment plan includes learning more about your mental health, gaining new skills and strategies that you will carry with you long after therapy ends, and finally practicing a language of self-compassion to replace unhelpful/critical thinking.

There are valid reasons behind your behaviour and emotions. We function best in an environment where we feel safe, loved and valued and can develop healthy relationships and a positive sense of self. We can then better explore life from a position of mental and emotional well-being. Perhaps this has not been your experience. Trauma and distress can affect your feelings and behaviour. The hurt may have left you feeling unsafe, devalued and negative towards yourself. You may struggle with poor coping options that have caused harm and suffering to yourself and those around you. You might be finding it difficult to navigate life.

Now more than ever, we’re feeling completely overwhelmed and anxious about how we're supposed to manage it all.

Our work together will be based on you being heard. Your trust in me, your confidence in the process, and your insight into your life are the foundation of my practice. Regardless of my training and expertise, I believe that you are the expert of your own life. It will not be my role to put your experience into a box to be neatly categorized and labelled. You are a dynamic presence unlike anyone else and, just like everyone else, you deserve the respect and dignity of having your presence acknowledged.

Often taking the first step is the hardest. I offer a private and safe space to explore your needs and struggles. Often we lose sight of our greatest strengths in everyday life. I offer acceptance base therapy and then I help you work towards change. Most of my experience has been in individual therapy. I truly enjoy starting an internal journey with you. Different parts of you come alive in the therapy room. When you know yourself and your different parts it is much easier to cope with life's difficulties.

I believe that we are all in a continuous process of identifying our internal resources, embracing our own creativity and mobilizing our psychic energy. My aim for therapy is to help my clients arrive at a personal, yet structured and novel, understanding of themselves, others and the world around them. I invite my clients to enrich their personal narratives and use their own unique abilities and skills. Each session is a collaborative attempt to elaborate on the client’s mental map. Each conversation is a mutual dialogue on how you could experience yourself differently.

I became a Social Worker because of this intrinsic desire to walk alongside people through their pain and into their growth. As I’ve continued my own growth, both personally and professionally, I have developed a deep passion for working with folks across the lifespan, from ages 8 to 90, as they work towards healing and peace. I have worked with folks with various neurotypes, substance use and addiction, those experiencing housing insecurity and poverty, intimate partner violence/domestic violence, trauma and attachment challenges, self-esteem, emotion regulation, self-harm, suicidal ideation/suicidality, Dementia, and TBI/ABIs.

Sometimes, we go through tough times like depression, anxiety, or trauma, and it can be easy to forget the strength and abilities we already possess, leaving us feeling like there’s no way out. Think of psychotherapy as the start of a journey toward better days, and the best part is, you won’t be taking this journey alone. Brendan will meet you right where you are in life so that together, you can work towards achieving realistic and meaningful life and health goals. Brendan has earned an Honors bachelor’s in psychology from the University of Windsor and a master’s in counselling psychology from Yorkville University.
