About Yousif Farag

After well over a decade of fulfilling Chiropractic practice, 2 multidisciplinary clinics, and various advocacy positions, I graduated from Tyndale University with a Master of Divinity degree (Clinical Counselling). My clients describe me as attentive, conscientious, determined. I have a very practical and solution focused approach to counselling. I won’t just sit and listen. I help my clients integrate mind, body, and spirit using a variety of modalities. I am trained in family systems therapy, which looks at the rules, roles, and relationships of the family and their interactions with the world around them. I am also trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a proven approach to changing thinking patterns and behaviors. Together, we will develop new ways to react to life’s challenges. We will develop a practical plan to learn new tools and practice new behaviors that can help you get on a path to living the life you want. I am focused on working with stressed out professionals, men’s mental health, and couples at various stages in their relationships. I am also uniquely interested in equipping individuals who have experienced addiction with the tools they need to heal and create a path forward. I am extremely passionate about this line of work and look forward to sharing in your life journey. Whether in person or virtually, let’s create the space you deserve to figure out what’s next. When I am not with clients, I am traveling, hiking, or involved in some small construction project alongside my wife, kids, and dog!

A psychotherapist (also commonly referred to as a “therapist” or a “counsellor”) helps with emotional and mental health problems in individuals, couples, and families through a variety of therapeutic approaches.  In 2007, the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care (MOHLTC) defined psychotherapists in Ontario as “regulated health professionals,” which means that all psychotherapists in Ontario need to be licensed members of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and to utilize the formal title of “Registered Psychotherapist (RP).”

A Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) holistically believes that your relationships with others (for example, with your family members) represent an essential aspect of your life and personal well-being and that your counselling process is more effective if he or she fully considers all of your relationships within her or her treatment plan for you.  A Marriage and Family Therapist (MFT) is a Pre-Clinical Fellow within the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (AAMFT).

A psychotherapist (also commonly referred to as a “therapist” or a “counsellor”) helps with emotional and mental health problems in individuals, couples, and families through numerous therapeutic modalities.  A psychologist may work in a variety of possible roles, from teaching psychology courses in universities and engaging in academic research to counselling clients and administering advanced psychological assessments.  A psychiatrist specializes in the diagnosis and treatment (mainly through psychotropic medication) of mental or psychiatric disorders.  A social worker helps people to resolve issues of everyday life (including through counselling services) and to access government and community resources.

No, your therapist is not a medical doctor and cannot prescribe medication.  To obtain a prescription for medication, please speak with your family doctor or request a referral for an appointment with a psychiatrist.
