Mr Mac Houssaini

Registered Professional Counselor

“Purple Door Wellness is a judgement-free, safe space where you can speak openly about anything. Although talking through painful past experiences can be uncomfortable, this is where the healing begins. I am here to support and help you develop the skills to live your best life.”

About Me

I understand facing past hurts can feel daunting. At Purple Door Wellness, I offer a secure, non-judgmental space where you can speak openly. We will gently explore experiences together, understanding their present impact. My goal is to help you process these memories and cultivate practical skills. This enables you to move forward with confidence, building a more fulfilling life.

Approach

Small, honest moments in session become the turning points where we shape practical steps toward relief. Sessions in my Maple Ridge office or online, in English, move at your pace and blend brief in-session experiments with focused reflection between meetings. Together we track unhelpful patterns, try tiny behavioral tasks, and connect choices to what matters most so anxiety, procrastination or obsessive worry become more manageable. People who want clear, down-to-earth tools and steady collaboration often find this approach fits.
