I founded Men Therapy Toronto as a result of my personal life experiences which helped me to see with a starkness that quality care for men who are looking for help is not always easily available, accessible, or understood. It became clear to me that working with men in the area of mental health occasionally requires approaches that may be slightly different from what traditional therapy may offer. In addition, many men struggle in their relationships with other men (i.e. fathers, friends, co-workers), and as a result, sitting in front of a male therapist is often paramount to work through those issues and concerns. I am a trained therapist which implies that I have the aptitude and skill to do this work however I am constantly doing my own work to ensure that I can be the person and man I’ve always known I could be.
