Addictions Therapy

Addiction is often a solution to a problem. Addiction counselling with Joel focuses on addressing the immediate behaviours you want to change. We then begin exploring the underlying causes while creating healthier coping mechanisms to make lasting changes and achieve long-term recovery.

Mental Health Support

Are you facing a specific issue that affects your ability to do what you want? Or do you need a safe space to vent about life's challenges that feel unmanageable? Therapy with Joel allows you to express these thoughts in a confidential space. After each session, you will leave with a clearer sense of direction, a feeling of relief, and practical skills that you can apply in your daily life.

Depression Therapy

Are you tired of hearing the advice to "look on the positive" when you're dealing with deep sadness and overwhelming self-critical thoughts? Joel understands that life can often feel overpowering, regardless of our circumstances. In therapy with Joel, the emphasis is on creating a balanced perspective that acknowledges life's challenges and worthwhile aspects.

Anxiety Therapy

Anxiety can cause us to second-guess ourselves, leading to decision paralysis and a loss of trust in our judgment. Joel specializes in helping individuals regulate their anxiety so they can regain confidence in their decision-making skills and their ability to cope with the inevitable stress and worries of daily life, as well as unexpected events.

Trauma Therapy

Many individuals experience traumatic events throughout their lives. Joel helps people process these traumatic experiences so they can move past the impact of these incidents and engage in activities they desire without fear. He utilizes Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) while incorporating elements from other effective modalities for trauma treatment.

Virtual/Online Therapy

Life can be hectic. With four birthday parties, six family events, work deadlines, and that nagging box of clutter still sitting in the car waiting to be brought inside, we often need some flexibility. To help with this, Joel offers virtual counselling through Microsoft Teams or Google Meet, making it easier to attend appointments from home or on the go.

  • Adult Therapy

    Joel has experience working with issues such as ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Borderline Personality Disorder, and OCD.

  • Assessment Services

    Does your child or teen need academic help, no matter how much studying and extra help you get? Joel specializes in psycho-educational assessments, which specifically examine cognitive and academic abilities, and are commonly used to access Individualized Program Plans (IPPs), post-secondary accommodations, and demonstrate eligibility for various support programs and resources.

  • Teen and Young Adult Therapy

    Do you feel like you need extra support and guidance for your ever-changing teenager? This stage of life can be challenging, filled with complex issues, intense emotions, and mental health struggles that may leave both you and your teen feeling lost. Joel offers guidance to parents while supporting teens and young adults in addressing their immediate concerns.
