Steven Lake

Steven has been studying human dynamics and relationships between the sexes for over 30 years, first, as an actor and director for the stage, and then as a psychotherapist. His interest in relationships grew as he worked with individuals and couples in private practice and through Employee Assistance Plans. Steven has given workshops in assertiveness training for women, relationship training for men, and seminars on “How to Communicate with the Opposite Sex” for both men and women.

Steven has his Masters degree in psychology specializing in adult counselling and has his national certification - Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) - from the Canadian Counselling Association. For three years he worked for Corrections Canada in a maximum security prison hospital as a group facilitator and psychotherapist. Currently, Steven teaches Group Psychotherapy at the Adler School of Professional Psychology and works as a psychotherapist for the British Columbia Society for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse and runs a private practice.

“Unfortunately, we are not given a handbook when we are young on how to be successful in relationships or how to maintain a long-term healthy marriage. Through a lot of hard won experience and a sincere belief in the importance of a healthy relationship both for the couple, the family, and for society, I have dedicated myself to spreading the word through speaking, writing and workshops on the best ways for achieving relationship success.”
