History
Established in 2017.
In 2011 I began my career as a mental health therapist and counsellor. Since then I have had a very robust career ranging from serving local flood-ravaged communities, to working in schools providing therapy and counselling and presentations to thousands of children and hundreds of teachers, to working with eating disorders, borderline personality, anger management, and providing couples and family therapy. I also teach men and fathers in prison and drug rehab a program called Be A Great Dad. This helps them to reconnect to their children (and to the mothers of their children) through developing healthy communication and behavioural skills which helps improve all of their various relationships.
Meet the Business Owner: Matthew M.
As a father of four and former foster parent to 92 children, I understand first hand, many of the challenges families face and have a genuine passion for helping others. With over a decade of experience as a social worker, counsellor, and therapist, I have worked with 100's of individuals and couples with mental health and relationship concerns. I have also taught and presented to 1,000's of students and teachers regarding anxiety and coping skills via speaking engagements. Outside my work with individuals and families, I facilitate groups for anxiety, depression, effective communication, and strengthening relationships. I teach programs in prisons and addiction recovery centres, helping fathers to become 'great dads' by reconnecting to their families in a healthier and safer way than ever before. I help them to become "Calm, Compassionate, Curious, Detectives" in the lives of their children, spouse, ex's, and everyone, but most especially: themselves.
