Services
We use a variety of therapeutic approaches that best suits the individual and their presenting concern. As a nurse by trade, Troy also explores how concerns of the body and the soul also weigh upon the mind and impact one's mental wellness.
His approaches begin with a solution focused / strength-based style, built within a framework of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) / Dialectic Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and the lens of a Co-Occurring Disorder Initiative (CODI) model to address the concurrent impact of Addiction and mental health concerns.

Note: Couples/family sessions are always $180, whereas individual sessions are based on length of time: $150 for 75 minutes or $180 for 90 minutes. Most major insurance companies (SunLife, Blue Cross, Manulife) will now recognize "Psychotherapy" as an eligible health expense; however, we advise that you call the insurance company prior to the start of counselling to ensure there are no surprises once a claim is made.
What can we say, Troy has been blessed with the amazing ability to truly connect with people. As a result, most likely he will be able to help you in fewer sessions than other counsellors or therapists. In fact he frequently hears from clients 'you were able to help me more in one session than in ten sessions with my previous therapist.'

Troy did amazing work with my teen son. Troy has the ability to connect with people on an authentic level so they can choose life again. Starting with a laundry list of difficulties, which spilled over to the whole family, Troy was able motivate our young man to choose a path of recovery. Troy works with compassion, empathy, accountability and the desire to add value to his clients. I would sincerely recommend him for any counselling needs.

Professional, compassionate and extremely helpful are words I would use to describe Anchor of Hope Counselling.
A note on Troy: he is very effective at getting to the root of the situation and doesn't just extend a hand to help you out of whatever "rock bottom" you find yourself in, he gets right down in the trenches with you. He is trustworthy, patient and beyond knowledgeable in his field. I highly recommend Anchor of Hope Counselling to anyone looking for counsel in marriage, relationships, leadership, parenting or in every day life. Troy will walk with you and will not disappoint.

I met this man while he was a nurse and I was in mental crisis literally burning out and completely desperate to find any kind of peace and clarity. Troy helped me get back on track, if not for him I may have been lost inside myself for much longer than I was. I now have a healthy relationship with myself, I have healthy marriage, I have a healthy relationship with my goals and my expectations. I am living a fulfilled life, a purpose driven life and I'm hitting my goals and then-some.. Even though my identity isn't in what I do or accomplish... Which was a big part of the problem when we met..

Troy is a truly a kind person who not only offers a deep variety of coaching material and insightful perspectives - he genuinely cares about your success, and he works to challenge your views and actions to help you grow. He is professional, consistent and shows up 100% of the time - be it remotely via video or in person at his comfortable office.
His energy, enthusiasm and passion for helping you grow personally and professionally comes through in your first interaction with him. He will guide you on the path of growth and - if you put in the work - the payback will more than worth your time

I was very fortunate to meet Troy during my storm and his approach towards my storm was not what I expected. Troy has chosen to focus more on how to help patients move out of their storm instead of just how the storm was created. By challenging perception and how you reflect upon yourself as well as your thought process, Troy is able to start the healing process in a more effective matter.
Although I wasn't able to commit the time I wanted to explore things further, I have moved out of my storm and I look forward to meeting Troy again to review where I was and where I'm going.

Troy is awesome! He has helped both my boyfriend and I for some couples sessions but also individual ones. He is very easy to talk to and truly cares about the clients he is helping. I really love his more holistic and religious approach on counselling. His wife who makes the appointments is also quick to reply which is great.

I don't know where to begin... Troy has been tremendously helpful for both myself and my relationship with my girlfriend. He has amazing availability, his office is very comfortable and cozy and the lady who handles his booking is very friendly, polite and helpful. If you're in need of a relationship counsellour or need to see someone for just yourself to help work through some issues Troy is a great choice to assist in overcoming whatever challenge(s) you may face. Really like this guy and highly recommend!
