My name is Don Straub. I have over 40 years of experience as an educator, high school principal, pastor, and professional counsellor. A few years ago, I upgraded my counselling skills with a Masters degree in Professional Counselling. I am a certified clinical counsellor by the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
I am presently employed full time as a clinical counsellor for The Bridge Youth and Family Services working with addictions, depression, anxiety, trauma, and much more. I have extra training in the Gottman method of marriage counselling as well. I continue my private practice in the evenings. I have facilitated groups in personal development and emotional healing for several years.

Services
I have completed advanced training in the Gottman method. This is a contemporary approach to intervention for couples that is research based and has been shown to produce effective results. The emphasis of the Gottman method is on the formation of emotional bonds and connection within the relationship, the skills of conflict resolution, and becoming best friends once again.
Some need help to respond to unexpected changes in their lives, while others seek self-exploration and personal growth. Or perhaps coping skills are overwhelmed by guilt, doubt, anxiety, or despair. Counselling provides support, problem solving skills, and enhanced coping for such issues as depressions, anxiety, relationship troubles, unresolved childhood issues, bereavement, spiritual conflicts, stress management, body images issues and so on.
