CURRENTLY ACCEPTING CLIENTS -- Welcome! Thanks for exploring my profile and good for you for taking this first big step in getting the support, help, or resources that you may need.
My name is Casper Watras and I am a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I received my Masters in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and have worked as a psychotherapist for over 3 years.
I work with motivated individuals who are looking to create change in their lives and specialize in working with men who are experiencing anxiety, depression and stress but work with any adult who is motivated in creating a change in their life. I currently worked with individuals on a myriad of issues, including anxiety, stress, reactivity, depression, addiction (alcohol, drugs, porn, sex, food, gambling, etc.), ADHD, OCD, and many other dysfunctional or uncomfortable behaviours. I believe in facilitating a comprehensive understanding of the issues my clients are facing; I am notorious for noting that it is only when we understand the systems that we are in, such as behavioural expression, thought patterns, even psychology overall, that we can begin to navigate and modify these systems.
I take a practical approach with clients to comprehensively explore their lives, the factors therein, and where one's issues are stemming from; with this information we can figure out what can really be done about the situation/presenting issues. It is only by setting goals and creating a firm foundation of understanding of all of the factors contributing to a person’s situation that we are able to create meaningful change. In my practice I utilize many of the principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, Rational emotive behavioural therapy (REBT) and psychodynamics in my work.
My services are covered by virtually all insurance policies offering mental health services, counselling, or psychotherapy as I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO and as I am supervised by a clinical psychologist; I have never had an insurance coverage issue. You will find both of our names on the invoices that I provide to you. Please feel free to send me an email with any questions you may have for me, or to schedule a consultation call where we can have a more in-depth conversation about what our work might look like, my therapeutic approach, or ask any other questions we may have for one another.
