Wild North Men's Therapy
About
Who do I work with?
I work with artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, creative professionals—and anyone looking to deepen self-connection, strengthen identity, work through challenges, enhance performance, and improve their relationships.
My practice is LGBTQ+ affirming, sex-positive, and welcoming of non-traditional relationships, and gender-diverse identities. I’m also a friend and ally to the BIPOC community, and I have experience working with clients from diverse cultural, racial, and ethnic backgrounds. I strive to create a therapy space where you can explore your culture and experiences without fear of judgment or minimization
Your life is more than a series of events.
- Explore The Past
- Experience the Present
- Navigate Uncertainty
Whether you’re navigating something new or something you’ve carried for a long time, you’re welcome here.

Zachary Gelmon
(RP-Q), a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
I’m Zachary Gelmon, a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). For the past three years, I’ve worked with adults across Ontario navigating trauma, anxiety, grief and loss, relationship challenges, porn & sex addiction and personal growth.
Since co-facilitating an ongoing men’s circle in 2023, I’ve developed a passion for supporting brothers, sons, fathers, and husbands. There’s a growing need for men to have a space where honesty, vulnerability, and imperfection are welcome – a place where it’s okay to be wrong, to change your mind, to gain new insight, to be challenged, supported, and to explore your deepest emotions and beliefs.
The aim of my practice is to help men show up in the world and in their relationships with greater connection to love, courage, compassion, and awareness.
I take an integrative approach to therapy because there’s no one-size-fits-all path to healing. Drawing from Internal Family Systems (IFS), somatic therapy, art and music therapy, and strength-based practices, I tailor our work to fit your goals, personality, and pace. Together, we’ll find what makes therapy meaningful and effective for you.
My practice offers individual counselling and men’s circles (groups of 8–9).
I work with adults across Ontario navigating:
Anxiety, stress, and panic
Depression and low mood
Grief and loss
Life transitions and identity exploration
Men’s mental health & emotional expression
Creative blocks & existential questions
Trauma, and childhood wounds
Low self-esteem, shame, and inner criticism
Relationship issues and communication struggles
Burnout & Work Performance
