Mark Bodnarchuk

I help people who are having difficulties in their relationships with their children, family, romantic partners, and co-workers.  I work with individuals, couples, and some or all family members.   I help people to improve their communication, manage their feelings more effectively, and change their behaviour.  I have a particular interest in men's issues, and how men's issues affect their relationships (e.g., father and son) and well-being.

I primarily use a cognitive-behavioural approach in assisting people to better manage strong and difficult emotions and experiences and to provide people with specific skills to apply in their day-to-day lives and their relationships.  I apply family systems approaches in helping couples and families improve their communication, interactions and functioning.  I also provide individually tailored treatment for anxiety, depression, anger management, coping with stress, parenting challenges, relationship and co-worker conflict, and aggression.   My approach to working with individuals, couples and families in balanced and sensitive to cultural issues.  

I obtained my Ph.D. in Counselling Psychology from the University of British Columbia.  I have 20 years of experience in providing a variety of psychological treatments.
