Many challenges we face are inevitable, but often we can sway the outcomes in our favor, keep challenges from compounding each other, and avoid other problems altogether. That is the philosophy I carry into my work helping my clients – from small children to adults – with challenges like postpartum depression, race-based trauma, ADHD, OCD, learning disabilities, autism, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, self-esteem, and other concerns.

Vladimir Rakic
Vladimir Rakic
My approach is client-centered, meaning that I am well-versed in a variety of approaches including CBT, EFT, Existential, Narrative, Art and mindfulness-based, culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed and existentially-based methodologies, and utilize them to best fit my clients’ specific needs. I use these perspectives to guide men through various issues, such as depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I also have a Masters and undergrad in Religious Studies, which has allowed me to travel and study with a number of spiritual leaders within Christian, Indigenous, Buddhist and Muslim communities and can incorporate this experience and wisdom into a session if the client so desires.
Ms. Alaina Johnston
Ms. Alaina Johnston
My approach to treatment and counseling is a holistic one which includes using evidence-based models of psychotherapy, as well as more alternative based therapeutic methods. I utilize different modalities and focus on the entire person where we assess and look at their mind, body, and spirit. I see every individual as a complex and unique being who is a product of their environment and genetics (nature and nurture). In turn, we come up with a treatment plan that is supportive, multi-faceted, and specific to your needs. I specialize in the areas of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and grief.

I help individuals manage anxiety and overthinking, self-esteem issues, work-life balance, and life transitions to better control their lives and feel more confident in their abilities. I also support individuals with communication and relationship-related concerns through both individual and couples therapy sessions.
I use an integrative approach to comprehensively understand you and your experiences and provide individualized care based on your background and concerns. I work collaboratively with you to explore your needs, set therapeutic goals, and create an action plan to achieve them. I also share activities and resources to help you implement the skills you learn in sessions in your daily life.

I am a registered Psychotherapist with a special interest in helping men who can get ‘stuck’ and struggle with transitions in life such as retirement from sport, losing a job, divorce, re-locating or simply helping you to figure out a purpose for what comes next. My approach is simple; non-judgmental, open and empathetic to client experiences. I take a broad perspective to understanding my client experiences and integrate historical information to formulating a plan to help clients resolve problems now. Depression, anxiety disorders, loneliness, anger and substance abuse are key areas that I specialize in.

Mr. Krish Dhir
Mr. Krish Dhir
Feeling stuck in a rut of boredom and disinterest? Struggling to find motivation and energy? You’re not alone. At Krish Dhir Social Work and Psychotherapy Services, we understand the challenges men face when it comes to maintaining their mental well-being. Whether it’s work-related stress, global concerns, or just the monotony of daily life, we’re here to help.
If you notice that a loved one is showing any of the typical depression signs like oversleeping or not sleeping, tension, or uncontrollable anger (in the case of men) you should address the topic and let the person know that you care about them and that you are ready to listen when they are ready to talk.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Marriage and Family Therapist and Co-Founder of Relationship Matters Therapy Centre. The way I work with clients is very person-centred, and collaborative. I recognize how we do not live in isolation. We all live in the context of much larger systems and multiple relationships that inevitably have an impact on how we experience the world. I like to keep things fair, down-to-earth, respectful, and equitable while creating an anti-oppressive space with clients to talk about the things that really matter to you

Corey Sleep

I take a holistic approach to mental health, and have worked in fitness and areas of spirituality prior to my work as a therapist. I help men figure out their lives as they reconsider their past, close the chapters they have yet to close, and move on to the next phase of their journey. Whatever the issue, I like to attack both symptoms and the roots of whatever ails you with a mix of Cognitive-Behavioural and Narrative therapeutic approaches.

I hold deep respect for men who courageously take the pivotal step toward their emotional growth. Therapy is a proactive choice that represents your commitment to your own wellness. My primary goal here is to help you navigate the complexity of your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, patterns and equip you with tools to thrive in your relationship, workplace, and all your varied roles.
Our sessions will be tailored to meet your unique needs and goals as I draw strategies from a range of therapeutic frameworks like CBT, DBT, EFT, and IFS. In the past, I have worked with individuals dealing with concerns like depression, anxiety, ADHD, self-criticism, perfectionism, burnout, family discord, relationship intricacies, and end of relationships.
