About Me
Registered Psychotherapist
André Brown
I started Practical Psychotherapy because I believe therapy should do more than explain problems. It should help solve them. My approach is rooted in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), one of the most evidence-based and effective forms of therapy.
Before becoming a therapist, I worked in the business and corporate world. This experience gives me a unique perspective on the challenges many of my clients face: workplace stress, performance pressure, and the difficulty of balancing professional and personal life.
Clients describe me as easy to talk to, action-oriented, and directive. I value helpfulness, ethical practice, and results over good intentions. My goal is always to equip you with practical strategies you can apply in your daily life.
My Qualifications and Approach
Registered Psychotherapist
I'm a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario and a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) in good standing.
Specialized in CBT
I have advanced training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I keep my practice rooted in evidence-based methods and I am guided by professional ethics.
Ideologically Neutral
I keep my personal political and other beliefs out of the therapy room. I am able to work with people from various backgrounds, political affiliations, sexual orientations, and religious or non-religious inclinations.
Evidence Based
My approach to therapy is grounded in techniques and interventions that have a basis in research, and have scientific evidence to support their effectiveness. Additionally, I collaborate with clients to determine what works best for them.
Corporate Experience
With a dual background in the corporate sector and clinical training, I am able to understand not only the science of psychotherapy, but also the real-life challenges my clients face in their careers and personal lives.
Group Therapy
I have experience with group therapy and periodically offer group sessions focused on men's issues, addictions, and productivity.
