Male Therapists in Saskatoon

Why some people specifically look for a male therapist

Your therapist’s gender isn’t usually the deciding factor in how effective therapy can be. But for some people, working with a male therapist simply feels more comfortable. You might prefer a same-gender perspective when talking about masculinity, fatherhood, men’s health, relationships, or other personal experiences. You may feel more comfortable discussing certain topics with another man, have a cultural or religious preference, or simply have a sense that you’ll connect better with a male therapist. 

Male therapists on First Session serving Saskatoon include Registered Social Workers, Canadian Certified Counsellors, and Registered Psychologists who work with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship issues, stress, and more. Every therapist has a short introductory video, so you can get a feel for their personality and communication style before reaching out. You can also book a free 15-minute consultation to ask questions and see whether they’re a good fit.

What to know about male therapists in Saskatoon

In-person vs. online therapy

First Session currently doesn’t have male therapists offering in-person appointments in Saskatoon. The therapists listed here provide therapy online. For many concerns, online therapy can be just as effective as in-person therapy. It can also make it easier to fit sessions into your schedule, avoid travel, and talk with a therapist from the privacy of your own home.

Credentials in Saskatchewan

Therapists serving clients in Saskatchewan may have different professional designations, each with its own education, training, and scope of practice. Registered Social Workers (RSWs) are regulated in Saskatchewan by the Saskatchewan Association of Social Workers (SASW). Canadian Certified Counsellors (CCCs) are certified nationally through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). Registered Psychologists are also provincially regulated and have specific education and registration requirements.

Cost and insurance

Therapy sessions in Saskatoon typically cost between $100 and $250 CAD, depending on the therapist’s designation, experience, and other factors. Whether your sessions are covered by insurance depends on your specific extended health plan and the therapist’s professional designation. Check each therapist’s profile for information under Insurance Coverage, then confirm your coverage and reimbursement limits directly with your provider.

How to choose a male therapist in Saskatoon

Find someone with experience in your concerns

Male therapists serving Saskatoon support clients with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, burnout, life transitions, stress, and family issues. On First Session, you can filter therapists by the concerns you’d like support with and explore profiles to find someone whose experience matches your needs.

Consider their therapeutic approach

Therapists can take very different approaches to the same concern. Some use structured, skills-based approaches such as CBT, while others may take a more relational, trauma-informed, mindfulness-based, or systems-focused approach. Many therapists draw from several approaches depending on the person and what they’re working on. This is something you can ask about in your consultation.

Watch intro videos

Every therapist profile on First Session includes a short video introduction, giving you a chance to get a sense of their personality, communication style, and approach before booking. Research suggests that the connection you feel with your therapist is one of the strongest predictors of successful therapy, so it's important to connect with someone who feels like the right fit.

Book a free consultation

Every therapist on First Session offers a free 15-minute consultation. It's an opportunity to ask questions, discuss your goals, and get a sense of whether the therapist feels like the right fit before committing to ongoing therapy.
