Supporting Your Wellbeing
Marc Phoenix
Sommerville
I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and bring over 21 years of personal recovery experience to my work as a psychotherapist. I have provided peer support to individuals facing addiction, mental health challenges, and grief, including facilitating recovery workshops, coaching, and developing programs. One initiative I’m especially proud of is a 10-week peer recovery program I created to support those grieving the loss of loved ones who chose medically-assisted death, now in its fifth year.
In my practice, I draw on evidence-based modalities such as ACT, CBT, IFS, and SFT, tailoring my approach to meet each client’s unique needs. I work with individuals, couples, and groups navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and more. My diverse background also includes almost two decades as an educator, where I often supported high-needs individuals by fostering safe, respectful learning environments that encouraged growth and healing.
Combining my professional training, lived experience, and passion for helping others, I am committed to guiding clients on their journeys toward resilience, healing, and emotional well-being.
