Vladimir Rakic

My approach is client-centered, meaning that I am well-versed in a variety of approaches including CBT, EFT, Existential, Narrative, Art and mindfulness-based, culturally-sensitive, trauma-informed and existentially-based methodologies, and utilize them to best fit my clients’ specific needs. I use these perspectives to guide men through various issues, such as depression, anxiety, trauma and addiction. I also have a Masters and undergrad in Religious Studies, which has allowed me to travel and study with a number of spiritual leaders within Christian, Indigenous, Buddhist and Muslim communities and can incorporate this experience and wisdom into a session if the client so desires.

John Sendim

In my role as your therapist, I am committed to providing a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can share your story. Throughout our sessions, I pay close attention to the words and language you use, and I incorporate metaphors and imagery to aid in our work together. I also integrate mindfulness and compassion techniques to help you cultivate greater self-awareness and kindness towards yourself. Together, we will explore the root causes of your anxiety, stress, anger, or depression, and I will support you in challenging and transforming any unhelpful patterns that are keeping you stuck. My goal is to empower you to understand the source of your pain and to help you move forward in a way that feels authentic and meaningful to you. To achieve this, I will tailor my approach to your specific needs and preferences.

Talisa Haskins

Welcome! Taking the first step in a journey towards wellness is often the toughest part. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed out, struggling to process your emotions, or difficulty feeling fulfilled, I would be honoured to walk alongside you as you take the first steps to heal and grow. Whether you have experienced a recent trauma or life event that has brought you pain, or altered the path you were walking on. Or, perhaps you have been struggling for a while to overcome anxious feelings and sadness. Therapy is a place to discover a new way of being in the world.
Therapy is designed to help you become more self-aware, and give you tools to overcome the struggles you are facing. Remote therapy only.

Marta Salerno

I hear you. I believe in you. I care. I believe therapy is beneficial because it allows people to share their stories in an environment that is safe and considers their unique needs. I strive to validate people’s emotions (because they are understandable), to highlight their strengths (because sometimes people can’t see them) and to build hope (because it can be restored). My approach draws from the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and person-centred techniques amongst others. I aim to help people better understand emotions, process difficult experiences, address unhelpful behaviours and work towards the life they want.

Keylan Musto

I am a neurodiversity affirming therapist and counsellor specializing in ADHD and Level 1 Autism. As someone who came to understand my own neurodiversity in my 20s, I am familiar with the unique trials and tribulations that arise throughout the lives of neurodivergent people (in addition to the often exceptional capabilities that can be hugely advantageous in many facets of life). I take an eclectic approach to therapy, informed by Person-Centered Therapy, Parts Integration, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address challenges relating to procrastination, avoidance, general and social anxiety, depression, screen addictions, traumatic brain injury, and men’s mental health.

Mr. John Flesher

I was a police officer for 30 years and dealt with my own struggles, including ptsd and depression. My Master’s Degree helped me to heal and learned to help others in more effective ways. I work at numerous modalities, but strength-based and solution focused therapies are most frequently requested and used effectively. CBT, DBT, Choice and Reality Therapies for anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma and anger issues are areas of strength of application.

Jane Kraft

I focus on anxiety, issues impacting men, depression, addiction, life changes, relationship issues and grief and bereavement counselling. I am also part of a consultation group on gender, identity and sexuality. I believe we all have many stories to tell. Each story being unique, meaningful and worth telling. Through this process of telling these story-telling, we begin to heal wounds and find ourselves again. The many stories of my life led me through loss, grief, stress and pain but also joy, connection, meaning and love. I aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental space for people to discuss their emotions, thoughts and behaviours, and engage in a plan to create a rich and meaningful life.

As a man, prioritizing your mental health is crucial, and often, it’s overlooked or downplayed. I understand that men face unique challenges and life transitions that require specialized support.

I hold deep respect for men who courageously take the pivotal step toward their emotional growth. Therapy is a proactive choice that represents your commitment to your own wellness.
