Men's Issues
David McAlinden
Pre-Licensed Professional, MACP Candidate, Yorkville University
Many men grow up feeling pressure to stay strong, keep emotions to themselves, or deal with difficulties alone. Over time, this can lead to stress, burnout, frustration, isolation, relationship struggles, or a growing sense of disconnection from yourself and the people around you.
I offer a calm and non-judgmental space where men can speak openly about what they’re carrying beneath the surface without feeling pressured to “have it together” all the time. Whether you’re struggling with stress, identity, relationships, confidence, anger, or feeling emotionally stuck, my goal is to support you in a way that feels genuine, grounded, and human.

Bill Arbuckle
Therapist, MCP, RCC
A lot of men come to therapy having spent years being told, directly or indirectly, to push through or "suck it up," stay stoic and composed no matter what, and figure it out alone. By the time they reach out, they're often exhausted and not entirely sure what they're even supposed to say. I work with men in a space where none of that performance is required. No judgment, no script. Just an honest conversation about what's actually going on and where you want to go.

Barbara (Barchi) Fojkar
Counsellor/Therapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Clinical Hypnotherapist
Many men have learned to manage difficult experiences by pushing through, staying strong, or keeping things to themselves. I offer a non-judgmental space to explore what may be happening underneath, whether you're struggling with relationships, self-worth, anxiety, identity, or simply feeling stuck. Together, we can build greater self-understanding, emotional confidence, and more meaningful ways of relating to yourself and others.

Men's Issues
Jonah Fialkow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, RCC
As a therapist, my approach to working with men's issues is rooted in empathy, understanding, and a commitment to dismantling harmful stereotypes and societal pressures that affect men. I recognize that men, like everyone else, experience a wide range of emotions, but often face unique challenges in expressing and processing them due to societal expectations of masculinity.
In therapy, I create a safe and non-judgmental space where men can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences freely. I encourage open communication and validation of emotions, emphasizing that vulnerability is not a weakness but a strength. I work collaboratively with my male clients to identify and challenge any unhelpful beliefs or behaviours that may be contributing to their distress or inhibiting their personal growth

Adam Manz
Licensed Mental Health Counsellor, Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), MCP
Many men come to therapy feeling pressure to “hold it together” or unsure how to express what’s really going on beneath the surface. You might notice patterns of anger, withdrawal, or self-criticism that affect your mood, work, or relationships. In our sessions, we’ll create space to slow down and explore what’s driving those patterns—making room for a fuller range of emotion, greater self-understanding, and more authentic connection with others. Therapy can be a place to rediscover your own sense of strength, purpose, and calm.

Dustin Hogan - Men's Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RTC
As men, we've been expected to show up in a certain way our whole lives. Hold our feelings inside. Be the leader. Man up. Tough it out.
When we ask for help, we're told to "man up" or that we're "weak." When our mental health suffers, we're told to get our it together and shake it off.
It's no wonder the male suicide rate is 3 to 4 times that of women.
So many of us are struggling on the inside and never share that struggle with anyone. We suffer in silence. That is not the way forward. It serves no one.
It can feel overwhelming when you’re trying to do it all alone. But together, we can overcome all of these barriers that are stopping you from living your best life. And I’d love to help you get there!

Burnaby is one of Metro Vancouver's most populous municipalities — home to Simon Fraser University and BCIT, and housing the headquarters of Electronic Arts Canada alongside major Telus offices and other technology employers — creating a therapy demand shaped by tech-sector burnout, academic stress, and a highly multicultural population that includes large Chinese, South Korean, Iranian, and South Asian communities. SFU and BCIT generate significant student mental health demand and clinical training pipelines that feed into the local therapy community. Burnaby Hospital and nearby Royal Columbian Hospital in New Westminster provide institutional mental health resources alongside a growing private practice community that serves residents increasingly priced out of Vancouver proper. Many Burnaby residents access the broader Metro Vancouver therapy ecosystem, and the relative proximity to Vancouver means specialist care is generally accessible.
