Dr. Nathan J. Cooper and Associates

My work with Dr. Cooper has been invaluable to me. Over the past couple of years, with his guidance, I have evolved and really fought back my anxiety. Dr. Cooper provides me with the challenges I require while giving me the freedom to explore. I only regret not starting this journey sooner.

I was seeing Nathan when I was at McMaster University in 2016. It is 2022 and I am still affected by his mistreatment of me as his patient. He was unprofessional and unethical, and re-traumatized me.I had said I was not doing well, and had hit rock bottom and he responded with, “well I hit the bottom of my coffee so I’m going to go pee,” and walked out of the room. He also tried to do a form of exposure therapy, by grabbing my wrist and saying whatever awful things came to his mind; he stopped when I was sobbing. I have told these stories – among others – to friends of mine while at McMaster and they had shared similar stories with me about Nathan.I cannot stress this enough: please do not see this therapist!

Long conversations, longer beard. He listens well and remembers details that are discussed, and offers well-grounded advice. 12/10 would recommend.

I recommend Dr. Cooper without hesitation. When I sought his help, he took the time to listen and made sure he understood my concerns. As a result of our sessions, I have a deeper understanding of myself, and I learned skills that I continue to use in my daily life. I credit an important part of my personal development to the work I did with Dr. Cooper.

Having had a few counsellors in the past, I can say solidly that Nathan is the only one that empowered me with tangible strategies to work through things. I've been going to Nathan for 4 years, and the personal growth has led me to being a better partner & a more resilient person. Constantly grateful.

Dr. Cooper is very practical and leads you to workable solutions. He is kind and has a sense of humour. He makes the future seem brighter with structured ideas of how to move ahead with confidence. You realize that your life can be better.

I’m beyond grateful for being referred to Dr. Nathan Cooper during a time where I have been struggling the most in my life. I have faced some major trauma 10 months ago. Where I was mentally, emotionally and physically…paralyzed and to see life ahead felt impossible. Dr. Cooper presents a calm welcoming and comfortable environment. One session at a time helped to clear the thick cloud of dark smoke, pain, grief while picking up one piece of my life at a time, as overwhelming as it started things slowly came together. Ten months later where I am now in life... I feel more at peace in my life than ever felt, even before 10 months ago. I can truly say I’m mentally, emotionally and physically healthier. I wouldn’t of imagined I would be where I am in my healing process today if it wasn’t for the professional support of Dr. Nathan Cooper. Truly grateful everyday to be where I am today with his help. I can’t thank you enough.

Dr. Nathan Cooper is a great professional and an awesome human being. The sessions with him have helped me to overcome a set of very difficult and important present life events, as well as have taught me how to live with events from my past for which I have no control of to change. I recommend him and his practice to whoever reads this post, as I would definitely do the same to anyone I care about. He is very knowledgeable, caring, and the fact that he offers the option to do the sessions while walking in the nature around his beautiful neighbourhood is a plus.

The best decision i ever made was firing him as therapist and moving on. He was unprofessional, unethical and lacked the basic skills EVERY therapist has. There are people out there with no degree more competent then him.I may have paid for therapy but what i got instead was emotional and psychological trauma thats lasted over a year. Somehow nathan believes telling his client to “stop b***hing about *the problem that led them to get help*” equals therapy. He lacked compassion, he was cold and judgement over the most sensitive information I shared with him. His ignorance to the power imbalance in a therapeutic relationship led him to act in negligence and made me extremely uncomfortable and scared at times. He should be ashamed of how he treated me but im sure he doesnt care and is willing to do it to the next person. I would hate for anyone to repeat my mistake with him. He clearly has his own psychological problems.

I've worked with Dr. Cooper for over a year, on and off, and have found his guidance to be extremely helpful. He creates a comfortable space to talk about to the necessary topics and is able to provide beneficial support - whether it be guiding the conversation in a way to help you connect the dots or provide material/education on specific approaches and techniques.Having a space to openly discuss different subjects has been extremely beneficial for me. His support through COVID related challenges has been very helpful.Strongly recommend Dr. Cooper and his services.
