Tim Maxwell, Canadian Certified Counsellor

Service Areas: AB, BC, SK, MB, NWT

Accepting New Clients In-Person & Online

Tim holds a master’s degree in counselling psychology and is a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). He does both couples counselling and individual therapy dealing with anxiety, trauma, depression, relational issues, grief, and behavioral addiction*.

For individuals that are feeling lost or unsure of themselves maybe due to anxiety and depression, Tim uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients develop a sense of their values to create direction in their lives and ultimately improve self-esteem. For those suffering from trauma and behavioral addiction, Tim integrates EMDR into sessions as an effective evidence-based technique that allows for reprocessing of memories and compulsions, so they no longer dominate your life. Each approach is informed through a trauma-informed and Attachment based lens.

In his work with couples, Tim uses the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach to working with couples with over 40+ years of research behind it. Clients describe his style as warm, grounded, non-judgmental, balanced with a touch of humour and willingness to challenge and encourage growth in ways that feel safe and effective.

*Behavior addictions Tim works with include: gambling, social media, AI, sex, porn, exercise, gaming.

More about Tim

”I believe we all live storied lives shaped by struggle, change, and the search for meaning. Therapy offers a place to slow down, reflect, and speak your truth—even your voice shakes.

Outside of my clinical work, I spend much of my time reading to feed my curiosity, while also making a point to get outdoors, touch grass, and challenge myself when I can. I’m particularly passionate about men’s mental health, an often-underserved area of counselling, and one that has a meaningful impact on how we show up—as partners, brothers, friends, and ultimately for ourselves and who we want to become.” - Tim Maxwell
