Our Team

Matthew Varrette, BSW, MSW, RSW

I am a Registered Social Worker who has specialized in delivering psychotherapy for the past 12 years. I am passionate about meeting people where they are and helping them navigate the grand experience, we call life. I am a true social worker at heart and incredibly passionate about volunteering on several boards in the community, and researching, writing, and reviewing various articles to stay current on the latest approach to mental health treatments.

I am extremely open-minded and inclusive with all clients, providing a safe space for the LGBTQIA+ community. In addition, I provide couples therapy; and promote an open-minded sex and relationship-positive environment. I also provide individual therapy to those struggling with various anxiety issues including but not limited to obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), social anxiety, agoraphobia, generalized anxiety and panic disorder as well as alleviating the pain of living with post-traumatic disorder (PTSD).

I also provide clinical supervision and consultations to other therapists challenging them to grow and develop as a clinician. My preferred modalities are cognitive behavioural therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy and Schema therapy. When I’m not working, I'm a loving and nurturing father to my 9-year-old son who is on the ASD spectrum and is nonverbal
