COLIN MORRISON

Colin Morrison has over 25 years of experience working with youth, adults, and families in mental health and social work settings. His clinical background includes crisis intervention, mental health assessment, and therapeutic work with individuals experiencing a wide range of emotional, relationship, and mental health challenges. He is currently a Trauma-Informed Care Consultant at IWK Health and teaches at Dalhousie University’s School of Social Work.

Colin welcomes referrals of youth aged 16 and older and adults of all genders and backgrounds. In his therapeutic work, he aims to provide a supportive, respectful environment where clients can explore their difficulties, develop a greater understanding of themselves, and find practical ways to move forward.

Colin has a particular interest in men’s mental health and the challenges men may experience in their emotional lives and relationships. He is currently completing his PhD in Health at Dalhousie University, where his research explores how social expectations about what it means to be a man can influence men’s emotional well-being, relationships, and ways of coping with life’s difficulties.

His therapeutic approaches include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.
