Marc Whitehouse Psychotherapist

Together we can use action oriented strategies and work through feelings and thoughts that are holding you back from experiencing your best mental wellbeing!

Are you feeling unmotivated and not sure what to do? Have you tried different strategies on your own like distracting yourself and it never seems to work for long enough? Does it feel very difficult to find a person in your network to support you and give unbiased, useful advice? I can work with you in a professional, empathetic and goal-oriented manner. Together we can implement strategies and work through feelings and thoughts that are holding you back from experiencing a higher quality of mental wellbeing!

As a Registered Social Worker, I believe that we can use your strengths to work through interpersonal and independent challenges you have. We live in very uncertain times and all of us can go through highs and lows with our mental health. My counselling approach is structured to allow us to focus on the issues that are having the biggest impact on your wellbeing.

The types of therapeutic approaches I practice include: Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) and Family Based Therapy. I support many different types of clients. However, most commonly I see  professionals that are managing higher levels of stress with a variety of familial or relational stressors and are struggling with impacts of anger, depression and anxiety.

Currently I am offering support via Video Sessions and Telephone Sessions. Email or call me for a free 20-minute consultation.

Lived Experience (Direct or Indirect)

My lived experience includes

  • Athletic Competition
  • Migration
  • Parenting
  • Religion

I am an athlete at heart. I still play Men's Div 1 Soccer, and i have played my whole life at a competitive level. It motivates me and is important for my physical health. I have experience living abroad where I previously spent a few years living in Mexico. My experience led me understand deeply what it is like to live somewhere where your dominant language is not the spoken language, and the challenges that come from trying to fit into a new culture. I do speak Spanish at a conversational level. I have 2 kids at home that are 2 and 6 which leads me to deeply understand the balance and challenges that parents go through every day. I am Christian and my faith is important to me.
