Dr. Nate Fuks is a licensed psychologist, academic, educator, consultant, and founder of the Pride Psychotherapy Team. He holds a PhD in Counselling Psychology from McGill University. He has more than two decades of experience in mental health, clinical training, higher education, and LGBTQIA2S+ affirmative practice.
His clinical work is grounded in an integrative, affirming, and trauma-informed approach. He works with youth, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship difficulties, identity, life transitions, and questions of meaning and belonging. He has particular experience working with LGBTQIA2S+ clients and is committed to providing therapy that is inclusive, culturally responsive, and attentive to the ways identity, relationships, family, and broader social contexts shape psychological well-being.
Dr. Fuks draws from psychodynamic, attachment-based, emotion-focused, cognitive-behavioural, mindfulness, ACT, IFS, feminist, and trauma-informed approaches. Rather than applying one model to every person, he works collaboratively with clients to understand their individual experiences and develop an approach that fits their needs, values, and goals.
Alongside his clinical practice, Dr. Fuks has held a range of academic leadership, faculty, and clinical training positions. He currently serves as Associate Chair of the Doctor of Counselling and Psychotherapy program at Yorkville University, where he is involved in doctoral education, clinical training, research supervision, curriculum development, and program leadership. Previously, as a professor at McGill University, Dr. Fuks held leadership roles across two distinct professional psychology settings. Within the Counselling Psychology program in the Department of Educational and Counselling Psychology, Faculty of Education, he served as Clinic Director and Director of Clinical Training. Within McGill’s Clinical Psychology program in the Faculty of Science, he served as Director of the Virginia I. Douglas Centre for Clinical Psychology.
His current research and clinical interests revolve around the intersection of psychology, technology, and artificial intelligence, including how emerging technologies may affect psychotherapy, clinical decision-making, professional training, mental health care, and the future of the profession.
At Pride Psychotherapy Network, his goal is to create a therapeutic space where clients can speak openly and honestly, explore difficult experiences without judgment, and develop a deeper understanding of themselves, their relationships, and the lives they want to build.
