Getting to know people and hear those stories, as a counsellor, is an honour and a gift. I hope you’ll feel comfortable being yourself when you’re in session, because that’s what you can expect from me. Genuineness and trustworthiness are key to my approach. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61da17205561251df745bcf7/1642297213559-0WV4HV4E4SBM9FWV29Z1/unsplash-image-K8XYGbw4Ahg.jpg About - PERSON & CLIENT-CENTRED Regardless of what any of us have been through, I believe that people possess the innate wisdom and ability they need to help guide them in their particular healing journey. My approach is to meet you wherever you may be in that journey, and support you through a combination of empathy, conversation, tools, and as much (or as little) structure as you need to help you make sense of whatever you’re going through. https://www.fortalezacounselling.com/team daily 0.75 2025-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61da17205561251df745bcf7/c4f6cb60-4601-4af8-9364-086cdd363bbb/Michal+Ruhr+Counsellor+RCC Team - THERAPY, COACHING Michal Metcalf, RCC I am an enthusiast of life. I have also experienced sorrow, grief, and loss, and these experiences have shaped who I am as a person and as a therapist. My loves include: people, the outdoors, traveling, conversation, gratitude, and the little things. As an educator, a counsellor, and simply as a human, I am passionate about connection and working with others in varying capacities. I moved to Canada at a young age and then, for a short time, moved to Europe as an adult. As a result, I’m familiar with the unique struggles faced by immigrants & the challenges of navigating the cultural landscape of the past & present. I can offer services in English & Spanish. From personal experience as a therapist and as a client, I know how transformative counselling can be, and what a difference it can make in how we feel about and view the world. I care deeply about helping others with their particular journey, and hope our time together can support you with that. Please see the About page to learn about the types of therapies I offer. https://www.fortalezacounselling.com/contact daily 0.75 2025-06-23 https://www.fortalezacounselling.com/faqs daily 0.75 2025-03-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607638148090-Y6OFDI575CM3NQV732RJ/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0387.jpg FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607628784608-5D22G9GPLHDSAB2IXC2G/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0638.jpg FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1589847743861-GWVMBPD7Z7WQRQL9IZZ8/Large+JPG-Aro+Ha_0380.jpg FAQs https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61da17205561251df745bcf7/a2975878-b9f2-4c1a-85ba-fb99afcf2c3c/unsplash-image-3pR7d-tIRx8.jpg FAQs
