Find a Therapist in Canada

Joy, connection, and relief are possible even in the darkest of times. I offer an embodied, relational approach to therapy that helps you investigate anxiety, disconnection, and recurring motifs that no longer feel like they are allowing you to fully engage with your life. I spent many years trying to jump straight to a solution, as though I was a problem to be fixed. In my experience, fixing/improving yourself won’t bring you the relief you’re seeking because it bypasses the juicy bits: understanding how you got here, and how you've kept this going for so long. Instead, we explore your present-moment experience (your thinking-feeling-sensing-moving body) to build awareness and self-trust, which makes change and spontaneity possible. I bring a steady, attuned presence, at times a twinkly humour, and a deep respect for how your adaptations have supported you to survive this far, while helping you discover new ways of being that feel more spacious and alive. If you’re looking for therapy that honours your whole self, insists on centering your creativity and humanity, and supports real, lasting shifts, I invite you to reach out for a free consultation.  

I strive to provide a safe place where my clients can feel truly seen, heard and understood so that we can work together to find a better way forward weather that means having deeper understanding of yourself within the complexities of life and relationships or simply having some strategies, tools or goals to work on to further growth and development.  

I have been practicing psychotherapy and multicultural counselling for 19 years focusing on individuals suffering from anxiety, depression, grief/bereavement and other emotional, psychological and physical ailments.  

**Currently Accepting New Clients** Therapy is a safe space to share your story and help you learn more about yourself and the impact others have on our lives. It provides an opportunity to systematically review our experiences to see how our choices and beliefs are shaped and influenced. By exploring our challenges and concerns brought forth through our daily lives we can enrich our story, our love for ourselves, our families, and the world around us. As we explore your story, both past and present, we can access ideas and strengths to create positive change. I work with individuals, couples and families and offer a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

I know firsthand what it is like to live, move, and survive in a world that was simply not built with our bodies or identities in mind. As a blind therapist with low vision, my practice is informed by a heightened sensory and energetic attunement to movement, vocal expression, and the felt sense of what passes between us online. As a trans, queer, genderflux femme (she/they), I am deeply committed to providing accessible, non-gatekeeping care that actively welcomes your gender euphoria alongside your systemic exhaustion. In this online therapy space, the burden of translation is completely removed from your shoulders. You do not have to spend our time explaining or justifying the daily impacts of ableism, transphobia, or marginalization; you are met exactly where you are with an immediate, shared resonance. We will work at a pace that respects your boundaries, allowing you to safely unpack your burdens and build a deeper, kinder relationship with your own body. For local clients in the Vancouver area, we can also explore moving our therapy outdoors for walk-and-talk sessions once we have firmly established our therapeutic foundation and connection.

I believe healing begins with feeling truly met. In my work as a psychotherapist, I offer a grounded, respectful, and deeply human space where people can slow down, breathe, and reconnect with themselves. I value presence, authenticity, and real relationships, and I work at a pace that honours each person’s unique experience. I am drawn to supporting people who feel overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or in the midst of change. Many come with anxiety, relationship struggles, emotional pain, or a quiet sense that something in life no longer fits. Together, we gently explore what is happening in the present moment — in thoughts, emotions, and the body — so that clarity, choice, and new possibilities can naturally emerge.  

Thanks for taking the time to learn a little more about me. I am a registered psychotherapist providing pastoral psychotherapy for people across Ontario. This means I specialize in integrating clinical counselling and spiritual care. Why is this important? It is important because healing involves the whole person. Yes, healing involves emotional & cognitive processing and integration around unresolved wounds in one's life, but the deepest healing involves more. When we face personal struggles or crises it is an invitation to find deeper meaning and hope in our lives. It is here that I provide Christian counselling to help build a foundation of wellness and hope. In terms of psychotherapy, I focus on healing deeper issues that contribute to mental health symptoms. People may be struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or more complex presentations, such as obsessive compulsions, addiction patterns, complicated grief, emotional dysregulation, and more. Instead of simply learning how to manage symptoms, my approach is to gently uncover and work to heal deeper root issues underneath these symptoms that often include shame and self-rejection, unresolved grief, emotional injuries or trauma, for example. As we recover we can restore a healthy sense of self, a deepened faith, and a restored hope for one's life.  

Feeling stuck in the same patterns, worries, or painful memories? You don't have to stay there, and you don't have to go through it alone. My practice is grounded in compassion, genuine care, and a real commitment to your healing. Using EMDR and other evidence-based approaches, I'll walk alongside you as you process what's weighing on you, ease stress, and create lasting balance and resilience, all at a pace that feels right for you. In a nonjudgmental space where you're welcomed and accepted exactly as you are, you can begin to loosen what's been holding you in place.  

I provide therapy to children (ages 6 and up), adolescents, and adults in St. Albert, Spruce Grove, and the surrounding areas. I also offer virtual therapy to clients across Alberta. My approach is practical, collaborative, and supportive. Whether we are working together in therapy or completing an assessment, my goal is to help you better understand what’s happening, reduce distress, and develop strategies that actually fit your life. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood, respected, and not judged.  

You don’t have to figure this out alone. At Durham Psychotherapy, a diverse team of licensed clinicians offers warm, evidence-based care for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, ADHD, OCD, grief and more. We make getting started simple: free 15-minute consults, fast matching to the right therapist, evenings/Saturdays, and direct billing where plans allow. Sessions are online across Ontario with in-person by request in Durham. Tell us what’s hardest right now—we’ll map a clear next step you can use this week.  

Chad is an award winning therapist with 20 years experience... and doesn't actually enjoy writing in the third person. I'm a bit different than traditional therapists as I often have more smiles than tears in my office, but either way, my hope is to help individuals, couples, and families feel safe enough to share their lives. I find men who are nervous about trying therapy, women who want to understand their husbands better, and those who haven't had the best experience in therapy tend to really like my down to earth style that is influenced by my training in solution focused therapy, CBT, EFT, and DBT.  

Life can feel overwhelming at times, leaving you feeling disconnected, uncertain, or stretched thin. I provide a space where you can slow down and explore what’s happening beneath the surface. Therapy can help uncover the ways we have been coping and the patterns of behaviour that we continue to use. I work with people who are struggling with trauma, including sexual assault, childhood abuse and family estrangement. I also work with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, relationship concerns, chronic illness/chronic pain, issues with self-worth and grief/loss. I also hold space for individuals who are going through all the life transitions that we go through from our late teens to 40s. I believe healing happens through connection and safety. Together, we’ll gently explore the beliefs, patterns, and experiences that have shaped you—especially those formed early in life. By understanding their roots, you can begin to reconnect with your authentic self and your body’s wisdom. My approach is warm, collaborative and honest. I am genuinely interested in what is going on for my clients and will wade through the messiness that is life with you. In our work together, I focus on the mind-body connection within a trauma-informed, client-centred space. We’ll process experiences, build insight, and develop practical tools for navigating life’s challenges, supporting meaningful, lasting change. I pull from Adlerian Therapy, Internal Family Systems, EMDR and somatic approaches to understand my client’s world. If this resonates with you, and you’re ready to take the next step toward your growth and well-being, reach out to book a free consultation or initial session. I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you in your healing journey.
