Andrew Vespa
MC, Registered Psychologist
Counselling for teens, adults, couples, and families
Hi, my name is Andrew, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I am passionate about supporting mental health and reducing the stigma that surrounds it. I believe in developing meaningful therapeutic relationships that include compassion and creativity as core components.
My goal as a counsellor is to make you feel heard and acknowledged, and empower you to be an active collaborator in our sessions. I utilize an intentionally integrative approach to therapy, and value feedback and input from clients throughout the process. I will work with you to create space in which you feel able to be vulnerable, and I am here to support you with the challenges you are experiencing and the changes you desire to make.
In my personal life I enjoy spending time outdoors as much as I can, including activities such as hiking, paddleboarding, and snowshoeing. Other hobbies include spending time with dog, attempting to improve my cooking skills, and dabbling in video games.
Areas of Focus: Depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, emotional regulation, grief, coping skills, and stress management.
