Men’s Issues
Joe White
Registered Psychotherapist, MACP, RP
Men often face mental health challenges like anxiety and depression, yet societal norms discourage them from seeking help, framing it as a weakness. This stigma leads many to suppress emotions, fearing it might affect their masculinity or social standing. It's noted that men usually seek mental health support only in crises, prioritizing privacy over well-being. However, ignoring or bottling up feelings can worsen mental health. I provide various treatment options such as CBT, ACT, or EMDR to help individuals deal with their issues.

Shane Smyth
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, OACCPP
Working with men from a non shaming and supportive approach has been very rewarding for me and has resulted in many of the male clients I work with having an increased sense of self acceptance and understanding. Men have lots of work to do in today's society to ensure the future is one where love and acceptance are nurtured. Getting support from a male therapist who is doing his own work around masculinity can be helpful.

Philippa Klein
Counsellor/Therapist, PSW, MSW
I am so glad to be welcoming more and more men into my practice. Finally, men are seeking more support and understanding that professional counseling can be a formative space to tackle the pressures and ever changing environment you are experiencing. From depression, low esteem, workplace and relationship stress, therapy can be a place where you can unpack and care for feelings that may have been pushed down for far too long.

Psychologist, Ph.D., C.Psych
It can be particularly challenging for men to reach out and get the mental health support that we need. If you're a man looking for help, I'll work with you in a supportive way to navigate your issues, whether they're low mood, anxiety, substance misuse, issues with fatherhood, or whatever else you're struggling with.

Molly Heffernan
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Men's issues encompass a range of challenges related to masculinity, societal expectations, and personal well-being. Seeking support from a female therapist for men's issues can be a beneficial and constructive experience. A skilled and empathetic female therapist can offer a unique perspective, fostering a safe and non-judgmental space for men to explore their emotions, relationships, and societal pressures. In therapy, discussions may focus on navigating traditional gender roles, communication styles, and the impact of societal expectations on mental health. The therapeutic relationship, characterized by trust and understanding, can empower men to address vulnerabilities, cultivate self-awareness, and develop effective coping strategies. Choosing a female therapist for men's issues underscores the importance of diversity in therapeutic approaches, challenging stereotypes, and promoting inclusivity in mental health support.
