An introduction

About Dan

Picture
Hello Guests, my name is Daniel Parker, a Qualifying member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and General member of the Ontario Association of Consultants, Counsellors, Psychometrists and Psychotherapists. I hold a Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree from Yorkville University in Fredericton, NB, and a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) degree from Nipissing University in North Bay, ON. More importantly I bring more than 8 years' counselling and therapy experience in a variety of settings and a variety of methodologies from which to choose.

In my spare time I look for opportunities to get out and have fun with others. Whether it be sports like hockey, lacrosse, or baseball; heading out to the lake for fishing weekends; or, just relaxing with some friends and some good board games, my idea of fun involves others... which is odd considering I am introverted by nature. 

There are a lot of words to describe the deeper processes at work in our minds and each one is explore-able and treatable:
  • Trauma
  • Crisis Intervention
  • Addiction
  • Anxiety/Worry
  • Self Worth/Insecurity
  • Disordered Eating*
  • Body Image Issues
  • Relationship Issues
  • Guilt
  • Loneliness
  • Life Transitions
  • Grief
  • Divorce or Separation
  • Post-Abortion/Miscarriage
  • Spiritual Exploration**
  • Sexuality***
  • Work Stress/Work-Life Balance
  • Shame
These and many other issues can make a mess of an otherwise nice day. Let's keep the number of messy days to a minimum.
*Disordered Eating: This does include eating disorders but only after assessment and primary care are provided. Disordered eating also includes overeating without purging.
​** Spiritual Exploration: I have training and experience counselling with spiritual/religious integration. If this is an option you would like to explore please let me know at intake.
​
*** Sexuality: Includes counselling around confusion over sexual orientation as well as issues surrounding negative sexual behaviours.
