It can be incredibly debilitating and difficult to live with depression. Depression often accompanies other feelings of shame, guilt, sadness, and grief. Men in Ottawa often wait until they are in a crisis to get help. We want to change that!
Do you find it hard to get out of bed, or even motivated to get your day started?
Are you struggling with feelings of hopelessness or overwhelming sadness?
Have you found yourself distancing yourself from others and the world around you?
Have you felt suicidal or wished you were not around sometimes?

Helping Ottawa Men learn, heal, and grow
Hi, I’m Adam. In 2021, I founded First Step Men’s Therapy with a deep passion and purpose: to meet the growing and urgent need for a dedicated space where men can prioritize their mental health.
Men often wait far too long for help - I wanted to change that. Since our inaugural day, 4000 men and their partners have taken the first step to mental and emotional freedom. I've handpicked a talented team of 25+ clinicians who work in many areas, including anxiety.
Depression can be a debilitating condition that affects your quality of life, relationships, and ability to function. But you don't have to suffer alone. Depression therapy can help you identify and manage the underlying causes of your depression, so you can regain control and live a more fulfilling life. While depression may be an experience many face, for some men, it can lead to impaired functioning, difficulty concentrating, and challenges in being fully present.

We are delighted to offer in-person sessions to men and their partners across the Greater Ottawa Area.
