Kevin McPhee MSW Family Therapist
Sudbury Greater Sudbury, ON, Canada

HE TRUE MEASURE OF A PERSON IS NOT WHERE THEY ARE AT BUT RATHER HOW FAR THEY HAVE COME FROM WHERE THEY STARTED, I have a masters degree in social work from the University of Toronto and am a registered member of the College of Social Work and Social Service Workers. I completed a post-graduate specialization and am a registered clinical member of the American Association of Marital and Family Therapists. I worked as a family therapist for thirty years in a pediatric psych...iatry unit as the lead therapist, worked with numerous First Nations throughout Ontario as a trainer, consultant and direct service provider, taught a variety of courses at both the college and university levels and train psychiatric residents in the area of couples and family therapy through the Northern Ontario School of Medicine. I have been sought out by numerous organizations seeking my expertise and acted in the role of expert witness within the criminal justice system on numerous occasions. I have practiced the art of psychotherapy for nearly 40 years and my enthusiasm for the field continues to grow each day. While I have extensive training is numerous modalities of treatment, my true success in working with people is due to an insatiable sense of curiosity and a highly developed capacity to relate to others in a way that conveys acceptance and validation. At the same time I am frequently challenging clients to examine unhealthy habits, behavioural patterns and beliefs and to consider alternative ways to address their particular circumstances. As a trainer, I employ an apprenticeship model in which the theory taught is demonstrated in co-therapy, thus breathing life into abstract concepts. I expect trainees to spend many hours in my garage (therapy room) in order to enhance their insight, perfect their skills and discover their own unique gifts and strengths as a therapist See more
