Dr. Daniel Clegg

Appointments: Monday-Thursday 9:00am-5:00pm 

 

Dr. Clegg uses evidence-informed practices and enjoys an eclectic approach to therapy and assessment which integrates cognitive behavioral therapies (e.g., desensitization, cognitive restructuring, and dialectical approaches) with humanistic theories (e.g., person-centered, narrative, existential, psychodynamic) and mindfulness-based therapies. When appropriate he implements short-term and solution-focused therapies. He values establishing a therapeutic relationship and learning about you as an individual in order to choose the right combination of therapeutic approaches for your consideration. He is non-judgmental and accepting, with a respectful demeanour and a genuine curiosity about clients’ stories. His collaborative approach is focused on finding paths forward in mental health and well-being, relationships, social connections, and deeper meaning, under the overarching goal of fulfilling your therapeutic agenda.

He enjoys working with a diverse clientele and has experience working with people of a variety of spiritualties, cultures, and social circumstances. He tailors his approach to each client’s individual needs, learning styles, and desires.

Some of the areas in which he provides treatment are:

  • Anxiety (e.g., generalized, social, OCD)
  • Depression and grief
  • Psychological support for medical conditions
  • Identity, values, and worldview consolidation
  • Meaning and purpose development
  • Relationship skills for individuals
  • Self-image, relationship to body and exercise
  • Sleep issues (e.g., insomnia, depression)
  • Stress (e.g., at work & school, in relationships)
  • Substance use and addiction
  • Trauma (e.g., acute stress, post-traumatic stress, historical or current abuse)

He will assess for the purpose of treatment, and he also offers a range of assessments in the area of mental health which can result in clinical diagnoses.
