Are your online sessions secure?
I have invested in a portal designed for telehealth called Doxy.me. This portal is HIPPA compliant, and no client information is stored or recorded.

Group therapy is typically in the evenings starting at 6:30.

Some weekend appointments are available, though these times typically fill up quickly.

Why do you do this work?
I do this work because I love it! I know from research and, more importantly, from my own experience that people’s lives can drastically improve given the right interventions crafted by a skilled therapist – I am that therapist.
How do I set up an appointment?

There are a number of ways to do it!

You can call or text me at (705) 795 0240

You can email me at frankkewin@rocketmail.com

Or you can fill out the Contact form at the bottom of the page.

Do you work with men, women, couples, groups?
I work with all the above people who are 18 and older.
Is group therapy effective?
Yup! Otherwise, I wouldn’t offer it! We heal most in community with others guided by a skilled therapist.
What method do use?

I do not take a cookie-cutter approach. I match the most effective method to your particular temperament, situation, and personality.

My methods include somatic approaches as well as specific interventions like EFT, Gestalt work, mindfulness, and others, as necessary.

Your questions about how we are working as we progress are always welcome! Part of the joy of therapy for me is being responsive and dynamic to each unique client, couple, or group.

What is your professional training?

I am a licensed Psychotherapist in the Province of Ontario, Canada. I am trained in Somatic Experiencing (Advanced level), addiction recovery including Sex and Love Addiction, Clinical EFT, and ISP. I hold a Master of Divinity from the University of Toronto.

I provide online trauma-informed recovery coaching to English-speaking clients anywhere in the world.

Do you work with LGBTQ+ clients?
Yes! I am an affirming therapist who understands the unique needs of this community, and I am proud to serve them!
How can I make therapy cheaper?

Throughout our work together, we will design practical experiments to implement between sessions. By following through with these experiments, your healing will be more in-depth, faster, and sustainable!

If you are with me one session per week, you are with yourself in your world for the other 167 hours. We use this to your advantage. The purpose of our experiments is to gather new information and continuously set our course responsively.

Will you browbeat me with the Bible? God? Religion? New Age self help?
NOPE! I’m guessing if you are asking that you’ve probably had enough of that already! If you want to integrate spirituality and or religion into our work, I am open to that. We will remain curious about how these elements serve your healing.
What’s your favorite colour?
Purple.
Are you in Recovery?
Yup! And I work my freedom with intention everyday!
What if we aren’t a fit?
I believe the right help for you is available. If we notice that it isn’t me, I will work with you to help you find the right help. You don’t have to take care of my ego; that’s my job!
What is your office like?
My home office is very comfortable with a great view of the lake! My office in Toronto is in a professional building and is spacious and comfortable. My virtual office is as comfortable as your home, workplace, or wherever you choose to be while we work!
Who is your favorite therapist?

Hmmm… that’s a hard one; I’ve loved so many of my teachers! And I glean from them their best teachings and see them as being ‘a governing table’ informing my work every day.

So, I guess I don’t have a favorite… well, not yet anyway!
