Hey! My name is Derek McIntosh (He/Him) and I offer an authentic, empathetic, and relational style to therapy to help you feel at ease while being supported through your journey. As your therapist, my role is to forge a strong therapeutic alliance between myself and my clients, becoming more of a companion walking alongside you—no matter what you’re currently navigating. I offer a shame and stigma-free space to explore together what has currently brought you here. What strengthens my approach is the value of deep, lived experiences I bring to my work that deepens my capacity for understanding and compassion.
