Matthew Pitts
Registered Psychotherapist
I work with individuals and couples, focusing on areas like anxiety, relationship conflict, career stress, and recurring interpersonal patterns. My approach is collaborative, reflective, compassionate, and direct when helpful. Drawing from experience in family law, finance, marriage, and parenthood, I help clients navigate conflict, stress, and personal growth.
Chris Graham
Professional Counsellor, MPCC-Provisional designation with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA).
I work with pilots and men in high-pressure careers who are navigating anxiety, burnout, identity challenges, or major life transitions. Many of the people I support are looking for counselling that is practical, confidential, and respectful of their professional context. For pilots concerns about career impact, medical implications often create hesitation around seeking support.
Carolyn Black
Counselling Therapist
Have you ever sat down with an old friend, teacher or a favorite aunt/uncle and the conversation flows with ease? Somehow, these people just know what to say to put you are ease. Seeing a Carolyn Black can give you a similar experience. However, Carolyn also maintains confidentiality, is a skilled listener who validates your feelings and knows how to help you move forward.

What is AEDP therapy and is it available in PEI?
AEDP (Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy) is an evidence-based therapy that helps people process emotions and resolve emotional wounds. Some PEI therapists are trained in AEDP.

Are there therapists in PEI who offer private therapy outside the public system?
Yes. PEI has private therapists, counsellors, and psychologists who operate independently of the public health system.

How much does therapy cost in Prince Edward Island?
Therapy costs vary by therapist and credentials. Some PEI therapists accept insurance benefits or offer sliding scale fees based on income.

Some people access therapy through workplace benefits or community mental health programs, which may be free or low-cost.
What types of therapy are available to PEI residents?

Are PEI therapists properly regulated and credentialed?
