Christopher Mertz (he/him)

Registered Psychotherapist

Hello my name is Chris, I am a registered psychotherapist (RP) and board-certified music therapist (CBMT). I feel passionate about mental health, community, and connecting with people. My background in front-line mental healthcare including palliative, addictions, and homelessness work has shown me the important role that relationships play in healing.

Life is full of different seasons! Some can be wonderful while others challenge us and can make us feel overwhelmed. I provide a client-centered and trauma-informed space. No matter what season of life you are in, you are never alone, and I believe you always have the resources it takes to keep moving forward. I would like to help you connect to the people and things that give meaning to your life. When I am not working, I love to play & watch sports, practice my musical instruments, and spend time with friends and family. 

If you feel ready to take the next step, I would be honoured to explore how therapy can work for you.
