Founder

Gabriel Ballestero

I am a Registered Professional Counsellor with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA) and have 15 years of experience as psychotherapist. My practice began providing psychotherapy to men´s groups, individuals, women, children and teens. I developed a psychodynamic informed humanistic approach which used Gestalt and Drama Therapy techniques, and delved deeper using hypnosis. In recent years I focused on Contextual Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (cbt), particularly; Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and DBT, due to it´s success and efficiency.
