Taking the first step toward self-care and healing can be intimidating! I understand, empathize, and welcome you to share your story within a safe, accepting, and non-judgemental space. Each person is an expert in the story of their own lives – no one knows you better than you know yourself. My role is to help facilitate change, promote positive growth, and foster healing. Using integrative approaches, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and the tools of mindfulness, I help adults and adolescents move past stuck feelings of fear, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

I'm Mitchell McGregor, a Mental Health Counsellor dedicated to supporting teen and young adult men on their journey. As a 23 year old myself, I closely understand the unique challenges that come with transitioning from adolescence to adulthood. The pressures of school, relationships, and societal expectations can be overwhelming. It can be a difficult and confusing time, and it's not uncommon to feel lost, overwhelmed, or unsure of where to turn for help. That's where I come in.

Freedom, personal growth, success, and self-mastery focused counselling and coaching. Are you overwhelmed by how difficult your life is now and want help?

Life can sometimes become overwhelming and people can benefit from a safe, open space to share their stories and receive support. Counselling and psychotherapy are services delivered through a therapeutic relationship with someone who is trained to support others. Some benefits to engaging in counselling and psychotherapy are: finding ways to solve problems, improving your self-esteem, practicing new and more positive behaviours, learning to manage emotions from stressors, developing a greater degree of self-awareness, learning to love and accept yourself, and improving your overall well-being.

Deciding you are ready for change and reaching out for support already puts you on a path to creating new desirable outcomes. Maybe you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, difficult relational dynamics or life transitions and would like to identify and build on your strengths and capabilities to nurture greater coping, greater self-empathy and life satisfaction. Or perhaps you would like to gain deeper awareness and understanding of undesirable emotional, behavioural and relationship patterns so that you can be free to make more conscious choices in the moment and move yourself towards the outcomes you desire.

Are you looking for in-depth understanding and change for personal and relationship issues? I began studying mindfulness in its many forms several years ago. Today, I bring an Integrative psycho-dynamic therapeutic model, with an emphasis on client-centered therapy, relational therapy, and mindful CBT to support, personal wellness, insight, and growth. I support the treatment of anxiety, PTSD, and trauma, such as developmental trauma, generational trauma, ADHD, OCD, self-esteem, family conflict, parenting, & addictions.

I support the treatment of anxiety, PTSD, and trauma, such as developmental trauma, generational trauma, ADHD, OCD, self-esteem, family conflict, parenting, & addictions.
My treatment approach focuses on two areas to help you with your current difficulties. The first is a focus on identifying what I call your "backstory"- meaning the experiences you have had with people throughout your life. We all learn certain patterns of how to be with other people, and how to regard ourselves, from our "backstory." Sometimes these patterns interfere with our ability to lead mentally healthy and fulfilling lives.

Do you feel overwhelmed and can't see a way forward? Are you experiencing emotional pain or struggling in your relationship? In therapy, you will get support and build coping skills for managing anxiety and depression, recovering from traumatic experiences including PTSD, and healing your marriage and interpersonal relationships. Together on your therapeutic journey we will clarify your questions and concerns related to identity, meaning and purpose, sexuality, substance dependence and addiction, anger and impulse control, and overcoming abuse. Difficult experiences in your past don't have to determine your future.
