If you are reading this page, there is a good chance that you are suffering right now. There is help for you to get through it. I take a no-shame approach to whatever you are struggling with, starting with the assumptions that your experiences are valid, and you are ready and capable of making some changes in your life. I’m Dr. Anders Dorbeck, registered psychologist in the areas of clinical and rehabilitation psychology, and I would love the opportunity to help you with these issues. There is almost always a sensible reason behind any unhelpful or distressing habit or behaviour. Perhaps it served you well in the past, but is no longer working the same way in new circumstances. Whether you are looking for relief from distressing thoughts, changing patterns of behaviour that just aren’t working for you, increased understanding of your own inner workings, or simply figuring out how to take the next steps to enrich and improve your life, these goals are achievable. My goal is to understand where you are coming from, put together a treatment approach that is particularly suited to you, and walk with you as you learn new insights, skills, and habits, to get your life going in the direction that you want. I use a flexible combination of approaches depending on your needs, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and a variety of other modalities.

Hi, nice to meet you, I’m Maor (he/him)! I get how hard it can be to find the right therapist, and so I hope this introduction helps you see if we might be a good fit. I work from a very relational and collaborative approach, meaning I see us as a team; we are in this together. I offer compassion, humor, and curiosity in our sessions, while valuing wisdom, out-of-the-box thinking, and trust. I believe that we already have the wisdom and knowledge about who we are, who we want to be, where we want to go, and even how to get there. That’s why I want to make it a space where you can show up with all the different parts that make you, you. While I help clients work through a range of issues, my main areas of focus include: Complex Trauma and PTSD, Borderline Personality (BPD), Addictions, Anxiety, and Depression. Of course, your unique experiences and perspectives are the heart of our work – I see your diagnosis as only one part of your story. After years of meeting clients from all walks of life, I learned how much courage it takes to reach out for help – and I commend you for taking this first step! Whether you decide to connect with me or another therapist, I truly hope you discover the calm, wisdom, and strength within yourself. Remember, you’re not alone; support is here whenever you’re ready, text, call or email me to start! I'm available to meet you in-person, online, or by phone, and I offer a free 20-min consultation.

We are all evolving! People usually come to see me because a crisis has happened. The origin of the word crisis means turning point. If your experiencing a turning point in your life I can help you navigate. Sometimes when a crisis hits we find it hard to process what is happening because we are full of the emotional and mental confusion. Therapy helps to unravel the confusion so you can awaken to the awareness that comes with the turning point. Growing in awareness can create a whole new perspective. We will find your inner wisdom together. I will do this through empathy, curiosity, irreverence and connection. We will stand at the cross road of your life while you decide which road to take. I will present you with a thoughtful and creative process as you move toward what you desire.
