Therapists in Calgary, AB

I'm Dr. Lisa Pascal and I'm a child psychologist who specializes in the treatment of moderate to severe mental health challenges including OCD, anxiety disorders, and challenging behaviours. Having suffered from anxiety, perfectionism, and obsessive compulsive behaviours myself, I understand the toll mental health challenges can take. Luckily I came across acceptance and commitment therapy and my whole life changed! Now I'm super passionate about helping children and teens live a meaningful life using these techniques. Although my passion is working with youth, I believe parents play a large role in the treatment process too.

Does your child or adolescent struggle with ADHD, Behavioral issues, Motivation, Decision Making, Anger Management, Shyness, Anxiety or other type of Social-Emotional issue? Positive Kids is a revolutionary concept created by experts of Emotional Intelligence. We help children label and identify their emotions, manage their emotions and ultimately regulate their emotions. Our program results in a child or adolescent who has more self control, better interpersonal skills and increased IQ. Our curriculum focuses on using cognitive and emotional tools to help children who may struggle with the issues above.

Is your pain holding you back from living? Are you fighting to hold it together on the outside but suffering on the inside? Whether it be emotional or physical pain, sometimes we move away from our values because we are living in survival mode. If this sounds like you, please know there is hope! Together we can help manage your mental health and wellness, so you can live a full and meaningful life.

I am in the final stages of my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology and am currently practicing as an intern. I have an interest in the long-term impacts of trauma on the physical, psychological, and social well-being of individuals, families and society and look to incorporate that into all aspects of my professional and personal life. When not working, I volunteer in a variety of social justice capacities including advocating for trauma-informed care within government. I also enjoy delivering psychoeducation seminars on a variety of mental health topics

You're worthy of joy, love, confidence, and strength. You may feel alone, broken, stressed, hurt, and stuck right now. Trauma, anxiety, depression, poor communication skills and unhealthy behaviours should not get in the way of work, school, or relationships. I know you feel unsure, awkward, or intimidated about reaching out to a therapist, so you’re very courageous to take this time to explore your options. I encourage you to take the next step to call or email me. I want to support you because you're willing to try; you want to grow and to live your best life.

I love walking along side clients as they decide to change their lives. It’s your birthright to live in joy, experience sovereignty, and live your souls purpose. I specialize in trauma (using EMDR, ART, mindfulness, and somatic movement). I also work with clients experiencing anxiety, addictions, eating disorders, and grief. Trauma sessions are 1.5 hours in length and talk therapy approach, 1 hour.

I believe that psychology is a tool for solving problems and working through change. In my career, I have helped many people 'get unstuck', overcoming emotional difficulties and working through trauma, grief, and loss. I also regularly work with couples and families, helping with challenges including marital conflict and parenting difficulties. My approach is integrative, and tailored to each person that I meet. I draw upon a number of evidenced-based approaches, including emotion-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, experiential therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.

Life is stressful. Work, family and friends, parenting. So many early life experiences continue to impact our quality of life: abuse, medical and other trauma, family dynamics, loss. We know physical and emotional are interwoven and must be treated as such. Mind body connection with physical symptoms and emotional pain is real. The body remembers old trauma and tells us things are not right. It also heals when we pay attention to the right things and build in resources.

Accepting new clients...Have you reached your limit in pain/stress/worry? Are you growing more concerned about your relationship with alcohol and/or drugs? Or are you worried about the alcohol or drug use of someone you love and you aren't sure what you are 'supposed' to do or not do. Are you starting to realize that maybe you "don't got this", and that you need some help? Patterns of unhealthy or unhelpful behaviours developed over time CAN be changed; coping with trauma and anxiety IS possible. This can be a tough and confusing time, but reaching out for help indicates that you have hope...now it's time to build on that hope.

My name is Michelle and I am from rural Saskatchewan. I have had the pleasure of working in non-profit, educational, and hospital settings in addition to my current experience in private practice. My approach to therapy includes a combination of exploring limiting beliefs (often formed in childhood) and working toward changing resulting unhealthy patterns. I often integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy techniques and attachment work in my sessions to best meet the needs of my clients.

Parenting can be the most stressful role you will ever have and I am here to support you and your family to become stronger and overcome life's hurdles together. I am experienced in working with children, adolescents, and their families. I have comprehensive training in play therapy and I understand that building strong, supportive relationships will mean less time in therapy. Whether it is trauma, anxiety, depression, school refusal, anger issues, self-esteem issues, a learning or behavioral diagnosis, or many other presenting concerns, I can achieve results because children look forward to coming to their sessions.

Hello and welcome! I'm Shayleen, a Registered Psychiatric Nurse, and the founder of Rocky Mountain Wellness. I specialize in offering guidance and support to individuals and couples navigating the emotional and psychological challenges of infertility. At the heart of my practice is the belief that you deserve to live a life filled with happiness, inner strength, and peace. I understand that seeking help can be a significant step, and I'm here to support you. I'm here to provide you with the tools and strategies to navigate the emotional rollercoaster of infertility and to help you make informed decisions.

I've worked in the field of addiction for over 10 years and during that time I came to see how cognitive approaches alone were often not able to provide the level of healing that was necessary for clients to experience the emotional freedom that they desired. This led me down a path of discovering the transformative nature of somatic therapies - which refers to body-based healing. Now I work with women to restore the connection to the wisdom that lives within their bodies, using evidence-based somatic techniques including breathwork, mindfulness and movement.

For the past 14 years, I have worked and trained in a variety of settings, including children's mental health facilities, schools, hospitals, and private practice. I have enjoyed the rewarding challenges of treating children, adolescents and adults who are struggling with ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, gender identity issues, personality disorders, substance abuse issues, anger management issues, low self-esteem, and social skills deficits.

I am accepting new clients. Services are available province-wide via Zoom video, in-person in Calgary, or by telephone. I specialize in relationships and communication skills within couples, and families with children/teens. Also PTSD/CPTSD, trauma, anxiety, depression, borderline personality (BPD), and OCD. I also work with Veterans and First Responders. For those with financial challenges I offer interest-free payment plans. I am LGBTQ friendly, accepting, and an ally. I also have experience with ethical non-monogamy (ENM), poly/open/swinging relationship dynamics.

Change and development are processes that occur over the lifespan. Our capacity to manage can be overwhelmed by what is going on around us and our internal state. I will join you in considering the mechanism behind what is happening for you, integrating your experiences, and making meaning of your thoughts, behaviours, emotions, and sensations to move forward. Becoming a parent is a transition that often comes with many stressors and complexities that may or may not be anticipated. I am passionate about supporting people through the process of becoming a parent and parenting small children.

Welcome! There is nothing worse than being told you are not trying hard enough or wasting your potential. Are you struggling at school or workplace, to be heard in your relationships, feeling 'stuck' in your career, beating yourself up or constantly worried over what others might think? If you are curious and passionate about learning, implementing personal strategies and skills for your life, career and relationships in a holistic systems approach, then I can help.

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS - I am grateful that you have invited me to walk beside you; being in the presence of another individual, as they journey through the labyrinth of self-discovery and healing, is rewarding in my role as the compassionate, non-judgmental and collaborative companion.

Whether you're experiencing general unhappiness or attempting to manage a personal loss, trauma, substance use, anxiety or depression, I'd welcome the opportunity to hear your story, explore solutions or offer strategies to enhance your health and well-being.
