I’m glad you’ve found me. Together, we can build a therapeutic relationship that fosters your personal growth. Many therapists emphasize the need for change within individuals when external circumstances cannot be altered. In our work, we will focus on empowering you to navigate your inner world—especially when external challenges like historical trauma, mental health disorders, intrusive thoughts, cognitive distortions, flashbacks, and nightmares feel overwhelming. These experiences can often lead to depression, anxiety, avoidance, and maladaptive coping strategies such as substance misuse. If you’re struggling with intense emotions or feeling overwhelmed, I would be honored to support you in healing past wounds and reclaiming a sense of control in your life.
My areas of specialization include addiction, mental health for adults, adolescents, and children, stress management, anger management, attachment disorders, family violence, and co-parenting support. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and adjustment disorders, alongside Structured Relapse Prevention to address substance use concerns. My approach is warm, compassionate, nonjudgmental, and inviting, designed to foster healing and growth for both individuals and couples.
I have significant experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds, particularly immigrant and refugee communities, ensuring culturally sensitive care tailored to each client’s unique experiences.
As the saying goes, “Hope is the pillar of the world.” Even small moments of hope can accumulate and overflow into profound transformation. Let’s build that hope together.
Micah MacIsaac BSW, RSW
I believe everyone is capable of change. My journeys from adolescence to adult, child to adult caregiver, independent to partner/parent, or career planning to career surviving, has validated my awareness that we all struggle even with the best intentions, and we all have missteps. The good news is some of our missteps can be our greatest opportunity for growth. I have dedicated myself to professionally helping others in times of crisis for nearly 20 years. If I have the privilege to work with you, in whatever area you desire to become the best version of yourself, I commit to you it will be done in a safe, supportive, judgement-free approach.
