COUNSELLING & PSYCHOTHERAPY
Welcome to Original Medicine.
I’m glad you’ve found your way here. Reaching out for support isn’t always easy, and if you’re reading this, it likely means something important is happening in your life, or you’ve simply decided it’s time for change.
Maybe you’re feeling weighed down by anxiety, low mood, stress, or sleepless nights. Maybe you’re facing challenges in your relationships, or noticing patterns that used to get you through but now just leave you stuck. However it shows up, you know something needs to shift — and you’re ready to look for support.
That’s where I come in. I’m Michael Frisby, a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist. My role is to meet you where you are, listen deeply, and work with you to find the path forward that fits you best.
In our sessions, we work together to:
Build a strong therapeutic relationship — a safe and supportive space where real change can happen
Develop practical skills and strategies for managing stress, symptoms, and day-to-day challenges
Explore and understand the deeper roots of your struggles - whatever they are
Begin to step free from old patterns that no longer serve you
Build confidence to face difficulties with curiosity, courage, and self-compassion rather than anxiety and avoidance
Reconnect with a stronger sense of yourself, your energy, and your possibilities
This isn’t about quick fixes or one-size-fits-all solutions. It’s about creating a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered to move toward healing in your own way, at your own pace.
