I help clients using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a skill-based approach in which I am certified. Practicing skills to change your thinking and behaviour leads to success in addressing issues in the same way that practicing skills leads to success in a career, academics, sports, music and many other endeavours. I track progress using clients' reports of their well-being and monitor the quality of my relationship with clients by soliciting written feedback.

I specialize in psychotherapy (also known as talk therapy) and providing overall wellness support. Psychotherapy is meant to meet you where you are at, and to discuss specific problems and how your internal dialogue may be affecting your mood. I go at the pace my client sets, as it is important I walk alongside them on the therapeutic journey, not in front of them trying to lead. This will benefit you in allowing you to openly talk about what is going on for you, how it impacts you, and allows an opportunity to voice your truth.

Living Well's approach to psychotherapy is research-based and holistic. Because we attend to the current needs of clients, in addition to their long term goals, therapy tends to have greater long lasting results. Symptom management is important, and can be accomplished with CBT based interventions, but lasting results from therapy are also key. Far too many people seek therapy only to have it 'not work' or work just temporarily. For a holistic, strength based, research informed approach, Living Well is the ideal place to seek help.

My approach is to work collaboratively with clients using a holistic model of therapy which entails a blending of Eastern and Western modalities. For example, training in meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, proper exercise, a nutritious, science-based diet and maintaining proper sleep hygiene.

In my practice as a psychotherapist I assist individuals to understand forces within that cause suffering & confusion. My approach is engaging, compassionate and expansive. I have over 25 years of experience with many types of people from different cultures & backgrounds. I believe most people have a mixture of complex emotions & complicated life experiences. But most everyone is trying to live a better life. People often have ‘scripts’ of who they are & why they came to be living the way they are. I help people develop ways of reflecting on what has been, what is, and what might be. This opens the possibilities for more choices in life. Your life can be different if you want it to be.

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

Are my personal and emotional struggles, anxiety, and depression just “all in the mind” or is there a biological basis to it? Most psychotherapy theories only focus on the “mind” and often fail to address the biological causes and treatment of mental illness. As a psychopharmacologist, Dr Mervin is uniquely equipped to counsel people with mental disorders concerning all their antidepressant and medication-related issues. His integrative approach recognizes the importance of biological (medical & pharmacological), psychological (emotions, cognition's and behavior), social (family and community), and spiritual (faith and religion) factors.

Want to build new ideas, clarify difficulties with emotions, motives, and interactions with others that lead to confusion? Rebuilding confidence and trust in yourself is crucial for change to be achieved. Our lives and our pathways are not written in stone. When we tell our stories in ways that can make us stronger, we can discover - we are not the problem - the problem is the problem. When we separate ourselves from the problem we can begin to revise our relationships with problems and gain new insight into different ways we can live our lives. I can help you rewrite what you tell about yourself and discover new ways to reclaim your past and re-envision your future.

My approach to Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ITP) is a safe, respectful, natural, and dynamic interactive process. I view the client-therapist experience as an interpersonal relationship that is founded on the principles of mutual respect and genuine caring. The therapeutic focus is largely on current relationships and how those relationships are perceived in a client’s life. Additionally, I encourage the exploration of conscious and unconscious emotional issues. Most persons possess a wealth of undeveloped strengths, assets, and capacities. Most of us use only a small percentage of our physical, mental, spiritual, and relational potentialities. By accessing a range of therapeutic techniques s....

I have the benefit of various clinical methods that can offer a variety of methods specifically designed to best meet the needs of people who come in. I have a great deal of confidence in the inner resourcefulness of people, thus counselling focuses on fostering another's internal wisdom to support wellness. Diverse training in a number of therapy methods such as, Mindfulness-based, Acceptance & Commitment (ACT), Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), Play, Expressive Arts, Attachment, Emotion-focused, Family Systems and Gottman therapies means there is enough versatility to ensure almost everyone can benefit from their psychotherapy experience.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

With support and guidance, you can learn to manage these feelings and create a happier, more fulfilling life. Together, we will work on a personalized treatment plan that fits your unique needs and goals. I use powerful techniques and a warm, empathetic approach to help my clients gain insight into their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and provide them with the tools they need to succeed.

By using an integrated approach, I have access to many different theoretical orientations that allow me to be prepared for whatever client may come through my door. Through a holistic lens, I take into consideration variables from many different areas, and by doing so, I learn about my clients as wonderfully complex and layered individuals who have their own unique needs. Through collaboration and feedback I work together with my clients to ensure that they are getting what they need during their time in counselling.

I believe in helping couples and individuals find their inner strengths and resources in order to create the life they truly want. Together we will define a meaningful life, which will guide you in overcoming your challenges. You will learn to live in the present, a powerful step since changing the present allows us to heal the past and define the future. Being collaborative, non-judgmental and creating a trusting relationship are the key elements to the success of our work together. Change is difficult, but I hope that you choose to give yourself the gift of choosing what you want for yourself and your relationship.

Do you feel depressed, anxious or stressed? I work hard to make sure that clients change for better, in one way or another---after seeing me. In psychotherapy, I respect each individual, couple, or family regardless of their gender, race, ethnicity, culture, belief or religion. My clients would benefit from me because they would feel respected and valued in my therapy sessions; my approach involves clients to engage actively in the therapy process and yet I'm gentle and respectful. I remain objective and professional in my work but personable. I use various models of therapy including client-centered approach, cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic approach, and relational approach.

Psychotherapy is a process where we explore and question what's going on in your life, to illuminate and consider new ways of self understanding. We all have a way of conceptualizing or telling ourselves and others the stories of our lives. The process you and I will begin is a way of changing the way you perceive your story. This conversation is at the heart of psychotherapy, a way of reframing or changing perspective on the way you are experiencing your life. When you know it differently, you don't change the facts, but you empower yourself to act differently within and about your life..

Using a personalized approach tailored to you, I help you discover what you need to flourish. As an engaged and empathetic listener, I provide a caring, supportive space to experiment and experience changes in action, thoughts, and belief. With access to a variety of techniques from several different models for therapy (CBT, DBT, IPT, REBT, Rogerian), people seeing me have consistently experienced greater life and relationship satisfaction.

Psychotherapy is the use of evidence based tools such as CBT, DBT, ACT, narrative therapy, - all approaches that have been well researched and practiced. At our practice we create a customized blend for what you need after we have completed your assessment.

I aspire to create an affirming and judgement-free environment where individuals feel safe expressing their experiences as everyone deserves to be heard and witnessed for who they are. I can provide practical guidance and support and I incorporate humour and humility into my practice. I view treatment as holistic and do not subscribe to a "one size fits all" approach. While there can be common symptoms, each person brings their own unique experiences and perspectives to the challenges which they are currently facing, because of this I will always work with you to design a practical and specific treatment plan designed just for you.

Psychotherapy sounds complicated. It does not need to be. It occurs when two people talk it can be effective or ineffective. With a combination of experience, education and practice a therapist can help create a therapeutic encounter that is beneficial and effective for a person. Raue, Goldfried, & Barkham, (1997) highlight how the therapeutic relationship is key to a client progress or engagement in therapy. It is my desire to create a space where this relationship can grow and be beneficial to my clients.
