As a therapist and a Social Worker, I strive to honour each clients’ unique life experiences; supporting them to explore how these have contributed to their identity.
Joshua McLeod
Therapist & Social Worker
I work with individual adults, older youth, couples, and families with a particular interest in healing from addictions and managing mental health and emotional stressors. Through my work I aim to support clients to maintain calming, peaceful, and loving relationships. My background includes working with the LGBTQ2S+ community on various community projects, working with clients living with HIV, counselling clients in an outpatient addiction and mental health setting, and working with communities to bring people together in the spirit of helping others.
I understand that opening up to your emotions to maintain healthy and loving relationships can be difficult. I’ll support you to live a more fulfilling, emotionally connected, and values-driven life using a trauma-informed and resiliency focused approach.
