Adults Therapists in Southeast Calgary, Calgary, AB

I am dedicated to providing a space where you will feel genuinely heard and understood. My practice is marked by compassion and empathy where you are welcomed to voice issues and concerns. In working with you, we will collaboratively develop a support plan that is true to you and your needs.

The decision to start therapy is a courageous first step towards understanding, healing, and change. I offer therapy to adolescents, adults , and couples in Calgary, AB and Bragg Creek AB. I believe that most people can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. Whether you struggle with persistent troubling thoughts or feelings, are overwhelmed by events that are out of your control, or just want to get in touch with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life, therapy can help.

Your journey is unique, and you deserve therapy tailored to your needs and experiences. You can bring your whole self to our time together - laughter, tears, anger, joy, or grief, and the many layers of yourself. You're here because you want to be seen and heard, for someone to understand how much you've been through and how desperately you want things to change. You already have the strengths and ability, counselling is the boost you need to go further. I often support couples, folks exploring their identity, people navigating stress and anxiety, adults with complex parental relationships, and those nurturing their self-esteem.

Our experiences coping with Covid-19 can certainly be defined as traumatic stress, with heightened emotional responses, increased stress levels, feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and a loss of security. Many have needed to take on more roles and responsibilities. Perhaps teaching your kids, continuing to work, and struggling to maintain a harmonious relationship with your partner during these turbulent times. Traumatic stress can bring up upsetting emotions, memories and anxiety that won’t go away. It can also cause us to feel numb, disconnected, and with a sense of powerlessness.

Hello & Thanks for taking time to view my profile. I find clients are quite aware of how unhappy they are & the impact on their lives, but they don’t know how to fix it. Since 2005, I have worked alongside courageous clients to eliminate distress & make lasting remarkable change. I avidly believe most Mental Health concerns are NOT problems you are stuck with and change is achievable. I work with older adolescents and adults who want treatment for Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, Binge Eating and Complex Health & Weight Concerns. E-mail to start changing how you feel, think, do & relate to others- change the course & joy in your life!

I am a culturally sensitive Master's level social worker who is passionate about working with diverse populations and creating a non-judgmental space where each client feels heard, respected, and understood. I provide counselling to youth, adults , individuals, couples, and families and I have over 14 years of experience as a clinician on the frontline and in leadership teams. I understand that at times, life’s impacts bring stress, worry, frustration, and anxiety. I work to provide clients with the right support, help, and guidance so that they can cope with challenges and re-discover their path to a more fulfilling life.

Our children are faced with an increasingly complex world that they are navigating alone. Parents describe feeling disconnected from their children and teens and young people describe feeling misunderstood by their parents. The impact of this is significant with more and more young people feeling anxious, paralyzed, and in deep despair. I can help you to better understand your child, their behaviour and the difficulties they are facing. Through learning what your child's emotional needs are and how to meet these needs you and your child will be better equipped to navigate this difficult world together.

I offer counselling to introverted teens and adults . For many of my clients, they struggle with high anxiety, perfectionism, overworking on school/work projects, and struggle socially. And for those that are more sensitive, they can be overcome with strong emotions of sadness and overwhelm. A common struggle is that they want better relationships but often feel awkward or out of place when with others. The consequence is that they withdraw from others.

Trish has over 20 years working with children, teens and parents. Her practice includes a collaborative and holistic approach through first developing a strong relationship with her clients. She incorporates therapy styles and tools that best fit with an individual’s needs.

I believe empathy, collaboration, and warmth are key factors to develop a strong and safe therapeutic relationship that will support meaningful goals for change. I am a PhD trained clinical and health psychologist working in private practice and with Alberta Health Services. I have expertise working with couples and adults with a range of health and mental health concerns such as pre/post-partum anxiety/depression, gynecological issues (e.g., vaginismus/vulvodynia, desire, functionality), chronic/acute illness (e.g., cancer), concurrent disorders, anxiety and mood disorders, stress and adjustment, and relational difficulties.

Hi! I'm Al, and I am a Psychotherapist and Clinical Counsellor practising in Calgary, Alberta. I have over 10 years of mental health, addictions, crisis and outreach work in a variety of counselling settings. I share my time between my family, my private practice and various volunteer positions in and around the Calgary area.

I have a passion for the helping profession and for over ten years, I have worked extensively with youth, adults , and families in a variety of capacities. Through the use of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused practices, and strength based approaches, I will work collaboratively with you to develop a personalized support plan that is fitting for your needs.

Thank you for considering my profile as you take steps towards your own healing and growth. Moving through survival and into daily life can be filled with uncertainty and difficulty. Challenging life experiences may leave you feeling stuck, disconnected from yourself and others, and may shift the foundation of deeply held values and beliefs. I am passionate about supporting adults who are seeking support related to life transitions, relationship concerns, anxiety, stress, trauma and trauma-related symptoms, depression, sexual violence/abuse, and existential crisis.

She's also the clinical director/owner of Alberta Counselling Centre (ACC), a specialized private practice that provides thorough psychoeducational assessments and psychotherapy for children, adolescents, adults , and families.

I use a client-centered, integrative, and trauma-informed approach in my practice. I believe in a wholistic healing process that embraces understanding and attending to the stories that our cognitions, emotions, and bodies are telling us in the context of our day to day lives. Overwhelming, difficult, or traumatic experiences can keep us suffering with symptoms and patterns of living that no longer serve us. Through gently paced mind and body interventions, we can begin to discover new pathways for lasting change by developing more internal and external experiences of safety, presence, wisdom, and strength.

It is important as women and mothers we take the steps to care for ourselves, as we are being pulled in many directions throughout the day. As a parent, I was young, unprepared, and unsupported in challenges that I faced. This has led to my interest in supporting women and parents in their journey. I strive to empower all women to recognize the expectations that society places are not all attainable. You cannot be all of the things, all of the time, and it is okay to slow down and take care of you. I also specialize in working with teens and young adults who are struggling with pieces in life and transitioning to adulthood.

Have you experienced a traumatic event that has been difficult to recover from? Do you experience nightmares or memories related to this event? Has the impact of this trauma prevented you from living the life you want? If you feel lost or stuck in the trenches of a past trauma, I can help. I have extensive experience with assessment and treatment of trauma related disorders, including posttraumatic stress disorder. This includes adults who have been impacted by childhood abuse, interpersonal violence, motor vehicle accidents, workplace injuries and chronic medical conditions.

I believe there is an innate strength in all of us; I also know that living a fulfilling and meaningful life can be a profoundly challenging task. If you are struggling with a life transition, depression, anxiety, or behaviors and emotions that aren't comfortable for you, counselling may be able to help you shift things. A therapist with compassion, empathy, and a base of knowledge about human behavior and psychology can be an extremely powerful agent in achieving change.
