Resources

These are some of the many resources which may prove useful. Others will be added or provided in session as needed.

 Family Doctor

Many people do not have a family doctor. Finding one can be a challenge, but having one is a key part of one's overall plan for physical and mental health. They are important for their own work and also for the referrals they provide to other health professionals and specialists. In Ontario, this website can help you find one.

​

If you do not have a family doctor, you can access one of the many walk-in clinics, or seek a virtual consultation using an app such as Maple.

Men's Health Clinics

Seeking specialized medical evaluation and treatment for erectile dysfunction may be an important part of improving your physical and mental health and well-being. We can refer you to one of several specialized clinics in the Greater Toronto Area, such as Oakwood Health Network or Ontario Men's Health.

Naturopathic Doctor

If you are looking for a holistic, naturopathic, approach to achieving and maintaining health, you may wish to consider working with a Naturopathic Doctor. This is not a service that we provide, but we can refer you to someone who practices in the Greater Toronto Area., such as Dr. Michelle Salga, ND. You will find many options with a simple Google search. 

Testosterone Replacement Therapy

An important part of a man's health in general, and sexual health in particular, is his balance of hormones, including testosterone levels. Oakwood Health Network, Ontario Men's Health, and Dr. Salga, all provide assessment and treatment which can include Testosterone Replacement Therapy. We also suggest check out Science & Humans.  

Maple

Sometimes you want to contact a general medicine (family) doctor or a specialist, and for whatever reason, you don't want to wait. In those cases, it might be useful to use a service like Maple where you can get that access very quickly (usually within a few minutes), for a fee. Currently, if you have a CAA (Canadian Automobile Association) membership, you may be able to use Maple for free general medicine consultations, as one of your membership benefits.  

Hypnosis

We also frequently recommend using the recorded hypnosis content produced by the team at Uncommon Knowledge.  Hypnosis is an evidence-based way to achieve a variety of treatment goals and to increase the effectiveness of other approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

CMHA

The Canadian Mental Health Association website is a treasure trove of resources.

Suicide Hotline

Emotion Wheel

Some guys are good at expressing their feelings. Some are not. Some guys have ignored or repressed feelings for so long, they may not know what they feel any more. They may not have words in front of  mind to describe their feelings. Guys, therapy is about more than feelings - it's also about thoughts and behaviours, habits and relationships, and more. But, sooner or later, we'll need to examine some emotions. Having the words organized and in front of you can be very helpful. Download this Emotion Wheel and look at it while you tune in and put words to your experience.
