Mike Deputat, MACP, BScN

Hi, I'm Mike! I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) in Barrie and I am here to support you on your journey toward healing. I hold a MA degree in Counselling Psychology and have also completed my BSc in Nursing where I have spent the last 5 years practicing as a Mental Health Nurse in Simcoe County. 

​

Life can feel overwhelming at times, as if it’s moving a million miles an hour while we struggle to keep up. But as one of my favourite authors, Carlos Whittaker, says: “We often say life is speeding us by, but I would beg to differ and say it’s us speeding life by.”

 

In the midst of life’s challenges, we sometimes need to slow down and be present. But being present also means facing what troubles us—something that can feel difficult to do alone. That’s where I come in. As your therapist, I will walk alongside you, helping you navigate those challenges with compassion and support. 

​

I work with individuals and couples 14+ and offer a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to your unique needs, including Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and person-centered therapy. Whether you’re seeking support for ADHD, relationship struggles, depression, anxiety, addiction, or burnout, I strive to create a safe and nonjudgmental space for growth. I also have a keen interest in supporting professionals in high-stress positions such as first responders and nurses experiencing burnout or trauma. 

​

I look forward to connecting with you!
