Psychotherapist
Dr. Hugh McCall
Dr. McCall completed a Ph.D. in clinical psychology at the University of Regina in 2024 and is currently applying to become a registered psychologist through the College of Health and Care Professionals of British Columbia. He has worked in a wide range of settings, including several hospitals, community mental health clinics, private practices, and academic institutions. With a background in cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and solution-focused brief therapy, Dr. McCall has experience assessing and treating a wide range of concerns, including mood and anxiety disorders, suicidality, psychotic disorders, chronic pain, and posttraumatic stress, among other concerns. Drawing on research, clinical experience, and his clients’ expertise on their own experiences and preferences, Dr. McCall tailors his treatment approach for every client, but his approach to therapy tends to be active, skills-focused, and goal-directed, and he ultimately strives to help all of his clients develop and sustain more effective ways of coping so they can overcome their psychological concerns and live more meaningful and satisfying lives.
Dr. McCall also has extensive experience conducting research on internet-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (ICBT), with a particular emphasis on identifying strategies for designing more engaging and effective ICBT programs and tailoring ICBT specifically for first responders and other public safety personnel. Dr. McCall has published many peer-reviewed journal articles on these topics, has presented the results of his research across Canada and abroad, and continues to conduct research on a part-time basis.
