Using ACT, I aim to help you increase your psychological flexibility, enabling a more adaptable set of emotional responses to your current difficulties.

People come to see me and I try to help them through listening with compassion and speaking from the heart. I hold space for the extraordinary and I keep secrets for a living. I am no-teacher no-healer no-doctor no-therapist. I am Paul. Most of what I know about helping people I learned from the people I have helped so far. Although I have a great formal education and helpful expertise to share, when I listen to someone speak of the facts of their experience, I am listening to the world's foremost expert on the topic. If I keep my mind open, this experience is the best education humanly possible.

Therapy is intended to be a turning point in life. It is about moving from one way of looking at a problem or a relationship to a new way of thinking about it. With a new perspective, you can choose different responses, different behaviors. A different way of experiencing the same world you have always lived in. This isn't pie-in-the-sky, everything will be wonderful kind of stuff. Instead it is about appreciating the good and the bad in a whole new way.

Everyday life presents us with different challenges, and not all challenges are easy to overcome. In order to preserve our mental and physical health, it is important to identify when the challenges we are facing are beyond the normal threshold of storm and stress. The next step in preserving your mental and physical health is making a decision to reach out and find a professional who will provide you with a safe environment; an environment where you will feel safe, comfortable, respected, listened to and understood. I want to provide you with that safe environment and give you the necessary support to deal with challenges you face. I want to give you time and space to share with me your thoughts, emotions, needs, desires, struggles, and questions.

Private counseling in residential rehabilitation is a privilege, as many facilities only offer group counseling. Our Valiant Recovery staff includes licensed psychologists who do private sessions with clients, which increases the likelihood of their success in the program.

Our counselors have masters degrees in psychology and extensive experience treating cases of addiction and substance abuse.

There largely remains a stigma in our society about seeing a psychologist. Therefore, when individuals, couples, or families experience a problem, they are liable to keep it to themselves or at most, share with trusted allies. Unfortunately, there can be several limitations to doing so - we are often hesitant to share freely with even those with whom we feel close. It's here that the psychologist has something to offer: a safe, non-judgmental place where rapport can be built on confidentiality, mutual respect and sensitivity. Bringing pertinent, thorough, and efficious training, the psychologist meets the client where they're at and facilitates collaborative solutions to presenting problems.

As a counselling psychologist, my emphasis is on providing a warm, empathetic space for individuals and couples to express their thoughts and feelings, and to obtain support and guidance. Psychologists must adhere to a code of ethics and continually update their knowledge and skills to be in-line with current research and best practices.

As a psychologist I believe in an approach to counselling that is holistic. When I sit with a client I see them as a product of their environment and as a piece of clay that they have creative licence with. Individuals are constantly changing and life is full of transitions. The healthier living the more easily it is to change and to move through transitions. The work I do centres around behaviour, thinking and feeling and walking with clients as they become more self aware. This growth enables the client to make the changes that they need in order to have the life and the relationships that they desire.
