It’s easy to believe that the grit we use on the ice is the same tool we need for our mental health—that if we just "tough it out" long enough, the pressure will lift. But as a former athlete, I’ve learned that true resilience comes when we finally give ourselves permission to take the jersey off and be human.
I’m Andrew, and I’m here to offer a non-judgmental space for athletes and high-performers to navigate the unique weight of expectations, performance anxiety, and the transition into life beyond the game. You don’t have to carry the pressure alone.
If you’re ready to focus on your mental well-being with the same care you give your sport, I’d love to support you. I offer a free 15-minute consultation call to see if we’re a good fit for working together.
Book your consult call via our online booking or reach out to info@cpyc.ca or call 705-300-2329 for booking support.

In the photos from my time playing at McKendree University or overseas in Sweden, you see the grit, the focus, and the physical drive. What you don’t see is what every athlete carries beneath the jersey: the weight of expectations, the anxiety of a slump, and the silent pressure to always "be okay" for the sake of the team.
I’m Andrew Best, and while I’m a therapist today, I’ll always be a hockey player at heart.
I know what it’s like to tie your entire identity to your performance. I know the "locker room culture" that tells us to ignore pain—physical or emotional. And I know how lonely it can feel when the season ends or an injury happens, and you’re left wondering who you are without the game.
In my practice, I work with athletes and high-performers, who train their body every single day. Therapy is simply training the mind to be just as resilient, flexible, and strong.

Healing doesn’t happen in isolation; it happens in connection. 🌿

At CPYC, we believe that the relationship between therapist and client is the heartbeat of the work. We aren't here to "fix" you from a distance—we’re here to walk beside you with honesty, skill, and a deep respect for your individual journey.

Whether you’re meeting with Tara, Peter, Andrew, Rhonda, Sarah or James, you’ll find a space that values your wholeness and meets your "messy human parts" with grace (and maybe even a little laughter).

We’re so glad you’re here.
