Therapists in Calgary, AB

Anxiety and depression is difficult to experience. Emotions are often overwhelming. These emotions could be anger, sadness or worry. Your struggles may have recently just started or have been there for years. I desire to journey alongside you through this difficult time.

I want to bring support to those encountering everyday problems, and help find solutions to ease the burdens that they are facing. I want to help my clients understand their situation, and take real steps toward achieving their dreams and goals. I provide counselling services for clients, as well as external supervision services to provisional psychologists and counselling interns. Feel free to contact me with any questions or for an introduction.

I am a Registered Psychologist who specializes in grief, loss, and traumatic death. I work with individuals and families experiencing emotional and psychological issues prevalent in grief (death and non-death loss), trauma, attachment, anxiety, depression, and concurrent life stressors. I am passionate about supporting individuals through unwanted changes and difficult life transitions. We can experience life-altering moments, and often feel defined by them; life events that are out of our control, fear-inducing and that threaten our sense of safety. Together, we can work towards restoring safety, control, and normalcy in your life.

As a counsellor, my goal is to help you discover who you are, empower you, build confidence, and hope for the future.

Are you looking for a helping hand through divorce, or other trauma, or are you struggling with feelings of uncertainty, general unhappiness, depression, or lower than ideal self-esteem? Together, we can look at strengths, look at what is not going the way you would like it to go, and strategize a plan for making things better. If you have experienced trauma - whether from a car accident, an assault, or abuse as a child, then I definitely have skills in helping to reduce ongoing negative effects of these experiences, primarily using a technique called EMDR, as well as other strategies.

My approach to therapy is focused on collaboration and empowerment. My aim is to listen and understand your experiences while offering you genuine kindness, compassion, and empathy. Some of the areas I can help you with include understanding and managing your emotions, growing self-awareness, exploring your values, helping you get unstuck, and building confidence in yourself and your decisions. I am flexible about adjusting my style to include different amounts of talk therapy, strategies, and skills training based on what you are looking for. Ultimately, my goal is to help you get what you want and need out of counseling.

Hi! I'm Kirsten. I hold a Masters in Social Work with a clinical focus and I am Registered Social Worker. I am currently working towards my designation of becoming a Registered Clinical Social Worker (RCSW) in Alberta.

I have heavily focused my career in trauma-informed practice and believe this is the way to be true and open-hearted with all clients.

We all carry multiple stories about our selves, our lives, and our experiences. There are parts in our stories that are sometimes hidden from our awareness. It is in the calm noticing, re-discovery, and re-telling of our stories that we can find and connect with parts of ourselves that may need healing, and also parts of ourselves that are insightful, strong, and brilliant even in the midst of hardship and darkness. Through facilitating, witnessing, and holding space together, we can engage in our personal work of healing. I look forward to connecting with you.

I enjoy working with clients of all backgrounds, and who present with a variety of psychological concerns. However, I'm most enthusiastic about working with folks who are undergoing significant life change, or who feel that a major change might be necessary. I'm also a keen supporter of mental wellbeing in veterans and first responders, expatriates and immigrants, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I see clients either online, or in person via the Safe Haven Counselling clinic in northwest Calgary (www.safehavencounselling.org).
