Counselling & Psychotherapy for Men and Couples in Ontario.
Individual Therapy for Men
Therapy for Men
Men also struggle with mental health and relationship challenges, but they are less likely to seek support. Sharing emotion can feel like shame, meaning there is something inherently wrong with you, rather than you are just a human with hurdles like all of us.
Anger Management
There are so many things said and done in the anger that you wish you could take back. You make promises to approach things more calmly and stop before it gets to that point. You have the best intentions, but then it happens again.
Couples Therapy
Relationships are hard to navigate. We think most everyone has theirs all together and we are the different ones who are struggling.
So not true.
None of us learned how to be the perfect partner or what to do when it feels like you and your spouse are becoming more and more distant.

Hi, I’m Christine
Christine Olsen, MSW RSW
Most of us don’t learn how to influence our mood or manage emotions. We do our best, figure it out, or don’t think about our mental health until we’re saying, “I can’t do this anymore.”
We see our relationships take a hit and the ability to show up at work in way we used to decline.
Reaching out and talking about it is the first step. Therapy can help you make a plan to feel better and build confidence in navigating mood and relationships.
I am located in Thunder Bay, but provide counselling throughout Ontario.
How to get started:
# 1 Consultation
Schedule a free consultation call.
I call you at the time you’ve picked.
You let me know what you’re looking to talk about. I answer any questions you may have.
If I believe I may be a help and you’re ready to try out therapy, we schedule a time to meet.
*Remember to review my FAQ page to ensure financial coverage/fees + appointment times align.
# 2 First Session
We meet via my secure online video system using your phone or computer. This works by logging in to your account or clicking the link I send to your email.
If in-person, we meet in a comfortable, private office space.
You get to talk about what you’re looking to get out of therapy and anything you’re struggling with.
I ask questions to both get to know you and reflect back to you your experience to ensure I am understanding.
# 3 Making Changes
We meet regularly, typically this looks like weekly or biweekly at least when getting started.
Therapy continues for as long as you find it beneficial.
I help you reach your goal and even goals or life challenges that may come up as time goes on.

We often think about how mental health struggles can impact your romantic relationships, but forget that your relationship can affect your mental health too. I want to share with men a few relationship dynamics that may be causing a negative impact.
