About Chris Cebulski

Life doesn’t always give you a clear path forward. Maybe you’re carrying stress that’s showing up as anger, depression, or emotional withdrawal. Maybe your relationship needs help, or a habit you thought you could control has taken over. Whatever brought you here, Chris meets that courage with honesty, warmth, and zero judgment. Chris is a Registered Psychotherapist at MyLife Counselling, where he has supported adults (16+) and couples since 2021. His areas of focus include career and family stress, workplace burnout, first responder mental health, addictions, and couples counselling — from rebuilding trust after infidelity to helping new parents prepare for life with their first baby. Chris has a direct and grounded style. He’ll challenge you when it matters, support you when it counts, and never waste your time.

Relationship Issues, Loneliness and Family Stress

Success at work doesn’t automatically mean things feel good at home. Many of Chris’s clients are high-performing professionals quietly overwhelmed — stretched thin between career demands, parenting pressures, and relationships that have drifted to the back burner. Some are dealing with a loneliness they can’t name. Others notice that irritability, anger, or a persistent low mood has settled in and won’t lift.

As a married man of over ten years and father to a young son, Chris doesn’t just understand these pressures clinically — he lives them. Whether you’re snapping at the people you love, withdrawing into yourself, or struggling to be the parent you want to be, Chris creates a space where you can slow down and figure out what actually needs to change.

Workplace Stress & Burnout

Chris works with professionals across industries grinding through exhaustion, deepening depression, and performance anxiety. He knows that depression and anger are often the first signs that something deeper is going on — and that too many people push through until those signals become a crisis. His approach is practical and action-oriented so you walk away with tools you can actually use.

First Responder Support

Chris has specialized training in helping first responders process what they’ve been through, rebuild their sense of self beyond the uniform, and develop sustainable ways to manage on-the-job stress. He understands the pressure to stay tough, the stigma around asking for help, and the toll that compassion fatigue, PTSD, and chronic burnout take on mental health, relationships, and identity. Whether you’re a police officer, paramedic, firefighter, nurse, or military member, Chris offers a space where you can put the weight down and start working through what you’ve been carrying.

Addictions and Habit Changes

Before joining MyLife Counselling, Chris worked as an addictions counsellor at Stonehenge Therapeutic Community in Guelph and Portage Drug Rehabilitation Centre in Elora. That experience gave him a deep understanding of how addictions to alcohol, pornography, sex, and gambling take hold — and what it takes to break free.

Chris approaches addiction without shame. He knows that behind every compulsive behaviour is a person trying to cope with something painful, and he helps clients understand those patterns while building healthier ways forward.

Couples & Marriage Counselling

Relationships don’t fall apart overnight — they erode through unspoken resentments and conversations that never quite happen. When one or both partners are dealing with unresolved anger or depression, that erosion accelerates. Chris uses the Gottman Method to help couples rebuild trust, repair communication, and reconnect. He works with couples facing intimacy challenges, infidelity, parenting disagreements, and the everyday friction that wears a relationship down.

Chris also has specialized training in supporting couples where a partner is struggling with addiction, and in helping new parents strengthen their bond before the sleep deprivation and identity shifts of bringing their first baby home. Whatever stage your relationship is in, he’ll help you and your partner find your way back to each other.

Personal Background

Outside the therapy room, Chris is an avid marathon runner and maintains a regular meditation practice. He’s drawn to existential and Buddhist philosophy — perspectives that shape how he thinks about meaning, suffering, and growth. At home, you’ll find him chasing after his toddler or hitting the trails with Wellesley, his Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix. When he can get away, he loves backcountry camping in Algonquin Park — a reminder that sometimes the best reset is unplugging and getting deep into the woods.
