Building the practice men trust with what they can't say anywhere else.
Psychotherapy for men's mental health, sex addiction recovery, betrayal trauma, and couples counselling. CSAT-certified. Individual sessions and structured recovery groups. In-person in Etobicoke, virtual across Ontario.
To provide excellent, confidential psychotherapy that helps men, couples, and teens in Toronto move from crisis to clarity through specialized clinical care.
Men should not have to reach crisis before they see a therapist.
Most of the men who come to our psychotherapy practice in Toronto waited too long. Some waited until a partner found the browser history. Some waited until the anxiety started showing up in their bodies. Some waited until a good friend died and they realized they had not cried in ten years and did not know why.
We built this practice so that the next person through the door does not have to wait that long. Not for a breakdown, not for a deadline, not for permission from someone who loves them. Just one honest conversation with a clinician who understands what they are seeing.
Specialization matters here. We run men's CSAT recovery groups alongside individual sessions because the work demands it.
What we will not compromise on.
Excellence
High-quality clinical care is the standard, not the stretch goal. Every session, every group, and every interaction reflects our commitment to best practices in psychotherapy.
Professionalism
Registered with CRPO. CSAT-certified. We hold ourselves to the clinical and ethical standards our clients deserve and our regulatory body requires.
Relationship
Lasting change happens in relationship, not in isolation. The therapeutic bond is the vehicle for healing, and we invest in it with every client.
Compassion
Direct does not mean cold. We meet every client with genuine care and respect, especially when the work is difficult.
Joseph Addy, RP(Q), CSAT
Founder & Clinical Lead
Joseph is a registered psychotherapist in Toronto and a CSAT-certified sex addiction therapist. He came to this work the long way around: a degree in International Development, years in government, a season of pastoral work that reshaped what he thought his life was for. Then formal clinical training: an MDiv at Tyndale, a postgraduate certificate from the Toronto Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling Education, and CSAT certification for the specific men he is now here to serve.
In the room, he works primarily with men, teen boys, couples navigating betrayal trauma, and some adult women. Direct, warm, clinically grounded. He runs men's CSAT recovery groups alongside individual psychotherapy sessions because recovery happens in community, not just in a one-to-one office.
Outside the practice, he serves as a Captain and Military Chaplain with the Canadian Armed Forces. He is a husband, a father, and spends his non-session hours with his family, behind a piano, or out with a camera.
