Joel ten Brinke, MDiv, MTS, RP, CPC
Registered Psychotheapist

Are you struggling to communicate in your relationship, feeling unheard, or stuck in conflict? Joel helps couples move beyond negative cycles, strengthen communication, and reconnect with the love that brought them together. Drawing on Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), he supports couples in building stronger emotional bonds and finding healthier ways to resolve challenges.

Joel also works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and work-related stress. His approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, emphasizing acceptance, unconditional positive regard, and a non-judgmental stance. He integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients explore and heal the different “parts” of themselves that carry pain, protect them, or keep them stuck.

With extensive experience supporting veterans and first responders—including EMTs—Joel understands the impact of PTSD, complex trauma, and demanding careers on both personal well-being and relationships.

He also connects strongly with adolescents, offering creative and engaging strategies to help teens manage low self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and peer-related concerns. Joel provides a safe, supportive space where young people feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward greater confidence and resilience.

Clients consistently value Joel’s authenticity, sense of humour, and ability to offer practical tools that foster meaningful and lasting change.
