Mick Reiss

Mick Reiss is a Toronto-based therapist with a background that sets him apart: before entering the therapy room, he spent years working as a paramedic. That experience — of operating under sustained pressure, witnessing acute trauma, and carrying the weight of a helping role — shapes everything about how he works with clients today.

Mick specializes in trauma and PTSD, with a particular focus on the individuals who are often least likely to seek help: first responders, healthcare workers, and other helping professionals. He understands the culture of these environments intimately — the expectation to push through, the difficulty of admitting struggle, the way the job can quietly erode a person's sense of self over time. With Mick, clients don't need to explain that world. He already knows it.

His work also addresses burnout and occupational stress in their broader forms — for anyone whose professional life has begun to take a toll that rest alone cannot fix. Mick helps clients reconnect with themselves, process what they've been carrying, and build a more sustainable relationship with the work they do and the lives they live outside of it.

Mick is especially experienced in supporting Adults & Seniors, Couples & Families, and First Responders & Healthcare Workers.

Mick is currently accepting new clients. Sessions are available both Online and In Person in Toronto, ON.
