Bazyl has many years of experience supporting individuals of all ages with a variety of mental health issues, psychiatric diagnoses, and substance use concerns.  Bazyl has a holistic approach to therapy involving examination of a person’s presenting concerns from a cognitive and behavioural lens while integrating environmental and ecological factors.  He believes that people reciprocally interact with the systems in which they live and an examination of them is necessary to understand challenges and find solutions to manage their difficulties.  Through exploration of difficult circumstances, relationship issues, and coping mechanisms, Bazyl can support you in learning to manage thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that are contributing to distress.  By offering a kind and genuine therapeutic experience he will aid you in finding balance in your life and lead you to a path of satisfaction and success.
