Men's Issues
Nightingale Counselling
Counsellor/Therapist, RCC, MSW
At Nightingale Counselling, we recognize that men face a unique set of barriers to seeking support, and that better therapeutic outcomes happen when a counsellor genuinely understands and accounts for the specific experience of masculinity rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach. We know that for many men, simply walking through the door is an act of courage, and our therapists meet that courage with an engaged, dialogue-based style of therapy that feels less like talking to a wall and more like a meaningful conversation with a purpose. Whether the presenting concern is stress, anger, depression, chronic pain, or a deeper sense of disconnection, our work with men operates on two levels: addressing the immediate challenge while also exploring how cultural expectations around masculinity may have contributed to it in the first place.

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.

Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Clinical Counsellor: RCC
I provide a direct, nonjudgmental space for men to address issues like stress, anger, relationship struggles, identity, mental health, or pressure to “hold it together.” I combine practical skills with empathetic listening to help you build emotional awareness, healthier communication, and sustainable coping strategies. Whether you’re dealing with performance pressures, fatherhood, loss, or feeling stuck, I’ll support you in finding clarity, strength, and ways to live more authentically.

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.

Men's Issues
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!

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

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.

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.

Richmond, British Columbia is one of the most ethnically Chinese cities outside of Asia — with Chinese Canadians comprising roughly half of the population and Mandarin and Cantonese widely spoken — creating a therapy community where demand for Chinese-language and culturally competent therapists far exceeds available supply. The city's proximity to Vancouver International Airport and its role as a gateway community for recent immigrants from Hong Kong, mainland China, and Taiwan shapes a therapy landscape particularly attuned to immigration stress, cross-cultural family dynamics, and the identity challenges of first-generation residents. Richmond Hospital provides institutional mental health resources alongside a private therapy community that is increasingly building capacity in Chinese-language care. Help-seeking stigma in some East Asian communities remains a significant barrier, and many therapists in Richmond invest considerable clinical energy in normalizing therapy as part of their work.
