MFT Solutions

Who I am

Hi, my name is Carl. I’m a psychotherapist and couple and family therapist. I'm trained and licensed to help people with "serious disorders of thought, cognition, mood, emotional regulation, perception, or memory using psychotherapy techniques."

The techniques I use are relationship-based: systemic. Informed by the way people interact with one another.

Also they're solution-focused: strengths-based. Focused on what you are doing or could do that works, and doing more of it.

I am trained in hypnotherapy. This can help change seem effortless.

I am experienced. I started my therapy career in 1993. Before that I studied religion, and before that, science. I have a Master's degree in physiology (medicine) and a Master's in Divinity.

Before psychotherapy was regulated in Ontario I became a Clinical Fellow of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT). I'm also an Approved Supervisor. I teach therapists.

I’m licensed as a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

I can help with anxiety, depression, addiction, or trauma. I can help with relationships: you can see me alone or bring your partner, parent, child, or friend.

I have collected a lot of tools for helping in my 33 years of therapy practice.

Come and talk to me. I can help. Bring your relationship partner, if possible. Come alone, if you prefer.

Questions? I’m a phone call away. Or a text. Or an email. See my contact information below.

What I can help with

I can help with a number of troublesome conditions: anxiety, depression, addiction, and relationship problems. I have experience helping people with mental health disorders such as borderline personality, bipolar disorder, and psychotic disorders. These latter conditions usually also require that you seek medical treatment. I can offer additional support.

I can also help with anger management, and emotional regulation.

I can offer some help with pain management. I'm not a doctor; I do not prescribe drugs. I do offer psychotherapy for chronic pain, including hypnotherapy.

I also offer clinical supervision for therapists. I am an Approved Supervisor with AAMFT, and I meet CRPO's requirements for offering clinical supervision.

Whom I Can Help

I provide services to people in the Province of Ontario. I have a physical office in Owen Sound. I also have a secure video link for online counselling.

What it Costs

You can have an initial consultation for free.

Currently I charge $120 for a 50-minute psychotherapy session. There is no tax.

Clinical supervision costs less (therapists are starving).
