Philosophy

Dr. David McKenzie is dedicated to providing individuals and couples with the tools and skills required to have a deeply fulfilling personal life, marriage or intimate relationship as well as a satisfying and fun sex life! His warm, personable and non-judgmental approach provides for you a safe, comfortable and inclusive atmosphere in which to discuss your issues and concerns. 

Using a psychodynamic approach to counselling therapy, Dr. McKenzie works with his clients to probe deeply into the emotional and psychological issues driving their lives.   Each of us is raised in the community of our family-of-origin.   The real "us" comes out in the intimate relationship that we choose to have with our primary partner.  Dr. David McKenzie helps individuals and couples to engage, heal and integrate early childhood issues that are getting in the way of a fulfilling life and realtionship.  Using Emotionally Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dr. David helps couples to build attachment with each other and to change destructive patterns of communication and behaviours into postive interactions. 

Sex never stands alone.  It is always connected to others issues both within the person and within the relationship.  Dr. David McKenzie provides highly trained and skilled sex therapy to both individuals and couples, using the therapeutic models described above along with homework assignments, including various forms of sensate focus practised in the privacy of one's own home.
