Greg Jarvis

Registered Psychologist

As a therapist, I have had the privilege of witnessing clients firsthand work through immense challenges, hurts, and losses. This experience has shown me that people are resilient and often able to overcome many of life’s difficulties when provided with adequate support. Because conflicts and suffering are inevitable parts of life, my goal is to provide support tailored to the client, encourage growth through challenge and insight, and walk alongside someone as they learn to feel whole again.

With a BA in Psychology and a Masters in Counselling Psychology, I began my training by interning in a mental health setting working with depression, anxiety, and suicidality. However, upon graduation, I had the opportunity to work in a private practice setting where my clients came to therapy for stress, relational conflicts, and grief, among many other issues.

My theoretical orientation primarily includes Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive-Behavioural therapy (CBT), and Gottman Method Couples therapy, while gleaning additional interventions from other theoretical frameworks. When coming to see me for therapy, you can expect the experience to be collaborative (meaning that I will work together with the client’s direction in resolving/managing their presenting problem) and real (meaning that I hope to build a good relationship with the client and be down-to-earth).

When not at work, I enjoy hunting, fishing, playing guitar, travelling, and hosting get-togethers where I am normally cooking on the grill. Additionally, I feel most recharged when I spend time with my wife and kids.
