For Doctors, Therapists & Community Referrers
I’m Ryan Filax-Wylie, a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) based in Calgary. I work primarily with adults who are:
-
Struggling with anxiety, burnout and stress
-
Living with the impact of trauma or difficult past experiences
-
Navigating men’s issues, identity concerns and major life transitions
-
Feeling stuck in patterns of overthinking, people-pleasing or over-responsibility
Who I’m a good fit for
-
Adults who are high-functioning but overwhelmed
-
Clients who want practical tools and deeper exploration of meaning and values
-
People who tend to carry a lot for others and find it hard to set boundaries
How I work
My approach integrates CBT, narrative and existential therapies, with attention to nervous-system regulation and the effects of trauma and attachment. Clients can expect a steady mix of structure (goals, tools, homework when useful) and honest, collaborative conversation.
