Therapy for men in Vancouver
Stress, anger, burnout and relationship issues. Practical support to help you feel steady and move forward.
Dwayne Mason MTC, CACC
My Story
My approach is grounded in real experience, not just theory. I’ve lived through rebuilding, loss, responsibility, business leadership, divorce, and reinvention. I use that lived perspective alongside my 8 years of training to become a MTC, Master Therapeutic Counsellor and provide therapy support for men as they navigate their mental health challenges and move forward with clarity and meaning. Together, we will develop coping strategies that promote personal growth and resilience.
School wasn’t my strength, so I started working young: taking care of the local church grounds, fishing with my father, working in the woods, welding, machining, retail, and eventually becoming one of Canada’s top sales executives in my twenties. My path wasn’t linear; it was built on whatever honest work I could find, wherever I could find it.
After moving to Vancouver, I became a refrigeration apprentice, completed my certification, and eventually built my own HVAC company, growing it to almost $2 million in annual sales. Later, after a significant life transition and several years of reflection and volunteer work in Nicaragua, I had a realization: the work that truly mattered to me was helping others rebuild their lives and focus on their personal growth, much like I rebuilt mine.

Why Men Work With Me
I use a meaning-centered approach that helps men understand their choices, their direction, and the kind of man they want to become, all while prioritizing their mental health. This approach focuses on:
- Purpose and direction
- Responsibility and agency
- Connection and relationships
- Masculine identity in a modern world

- Freedom, choice, and meaning
With an emphasis on personal growth, I provide therapy support that is free of jargon and judgement. It's grounded, practical counselling based on real experience, designed to foster mental health and encourage personal development.

Why Men Work With Me
I’m not a textbook counsellor. I’ve experienced the pressure, the rebuilding, the uncertainty, and the hard choices that men face in their mental health journeys. Men choose to work with me because I've built and rebuilt my life more than once. I've walked through divorce, fatherhood, career shifts, and purpose loss not just academically, but personally. I built a successful business from the ground up and understand the demands placed on men to provide, perform, and maintain stability. My approach is direct, practical, and grounded in meaning, offering valuable therapy support tailored to men’s issues. There's no jargon and no judgment. I specialize in personal growth, relationships, isolation, pressure, and connection, ensuring that my clients receive the support they need for their mental health.
