Hi, I’m Brendan Storey, MSW, RSWI am a Registered Social Worker and the founder of Thrive Atlantic Counselling. My approach is practical and collaborative, designed to help you preserve dignity, maintain self-determination, and find peace when life feels most unstable.
Support should not be another stressor. I meet you where you are, whether that is in your private residence, a retirement community, or a care facility. I specialize in Mobile (in-home) and secure Virtual Counselling to ensure your support is accessible, discreet, and grounded in your own environment. |
My Focus: The People and the Path
Sailing into the turbulent waters of aging can challenge your core sense of self. I offer the structure and compassionate space needed to move past the breakwater toward more stable shores.
The Who & How:
- Older Adults: Processing the grief of major change and counteracting isolation while maintaining a sense of identity.
- Exhausted Caregivers: Moving past burnout to re-establish healthy boundaries and a sustainable, balanced life.
- Adult Families: Facilitating the clear conversations needed to make decisions that center dignity and autonomy.
Please note: My specialization is strictly focused on older adults, caregivers, and adult families navigating age-related change. I do not provide general couples counselling or child/adolescent counselling.
