Hobson Psychology & Wellness Centre

Ricky Joel McIntyre is a Registered Social Worker, Certified Play Therapist-Supervisor, and clinical social worker serving children, adolescents, adults, and families in Saint John, New Brunswick. His work is grounded in research-informed practice and shaped by more than a decade of experience across school social work, private practice, and university teaching.

Ricky supports people navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, neurodivergence, emotional regulation, relationships, and life transitions. He draws on approaches including Play Therapy, EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and cognitive behavioural therapy, adapting each to the person’s age, needs, strengths, and goals. With children and teens, he uses creativity, play, and connection to make therapy feel accessible; with adults and families, he offers a collaborative space to build insight, resilience, and meaningful change. His aim is to help people feel understood and find a path toward emotional healing.
