Description

Taking the first step to make change in your life and accept support can sometimes feel the most challenging. I make it a priority to create an environment where you can feel safe and secure during therapy sessions so you can do the sometimes uncomfortable work of tackling the challenges facing you. You may be navigating a very vulnerable moment in your life when you first begin therapy, and I make it my duty to make sure you are supported during this process. During sessions we will work together to take stock of your strengths and successes as we identify challenges and barriers you face.

Summary

First Step Men's Therapy operates a 100% virtual mental health practice helping men across Ontario.

We specialize in helping men understand themselves and those around them. We work with men on a wide range of mental health issues, and specialize in compulsive sexual behaviour, first responders, grief, PTSD, dating and relationships, anxiety, and life transitions - to name a few.

Therapy can be an overwhelming, stigmatizing experience. Our goal is to help provide a place of comfort, safety, and growth. Call us, email us, or reach out to us via our social media pages to get started.
