Addiction Therapists in Calgary, AB

If the challenges of life have become overwhelming, I am here to help. I am known for my ability to establish a trusting relationship in which you can share your story and gain insight and perspective.

I have years of education and work experience, but more importantly, I have years of my own life experience. I'm a person in long term recovery from my own addiction and mental health concerns. My clients appreciate the many perspectives I can offer. The hardest part is asking for help, I'm here when you're ready to talk.

I take a client-centered approach and I will meet you where you are at – because you really know yourself best. I tend to view things from a depth perspective, which means that I like to help you recognize, understand, and accept what is at the core of your struggles. I apply this perspective to a variety of issues including substance use, trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, and self-esteem problems.

Therapy, at its most basic, is 'talking.' That’s why you’re reading through these profiles. You're looking for the right person to talk to about things that matter. If it helps, here is what experience has taught me: We are each unique. Our problems are equally unique. But all problems seem to grow from one common root: disconnection. Disconnection can be felt in many ways: insecurity, sadness, emptiness, pain, and anger. Troubled feelings such as these often lead to troubled responses, including but not limited to: anxiety, depression, addiction , disordered eating, relationship conflict, violence, self-harm and suicide.

I help individual clients with ADHD, anxiety, and addiction concerns regain control over their lives. I also offer relationship help for individuals and couples. There is a capable and special person inside each and every one of us; don't let your symptoms stop you from being that person. My therapeutic orientation is mainly Cognitive Behavioural, though I also utilize psychodynamic and family therapy approaches as appropriate. Please see my website for more details and information about any of the above concerns or just send me an email or a phone call with any questions.

As owner, operator and lead clinician at Jennifer Berard & Associates, I believe that all people have an incredible capacity for change.

You have probably made your way to this page because you've reached your limit in pain/stress/worry...Perhaps you are misusing or abusing substances OR someone you love is struggling in this area and you aren't sure what you are 'supposed' to do or not do...You are starting to realize that you "don't got this", and that you need some help. Reaching out indicates that you have hope...now it's time to build on that hope.

For Jenny, the counsellor-client relationship is the foundation for all work in counselling. As such, she greets clients with empathy, genuineness, and positive regard. Jenny believes the client is the expert in their own lives and feels privileged to hear their stories. Working together, Jenny and her clients set goals for therapy and tasks to meet those goals. Jenny hopes whatever their mental health concerns, she can help clients find the strength they possess and tools to help them go from surviving to thriving.

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck, hopeless, or fearful? Do you need some new skills or tools to help you navigate through some of these challenges? I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists providing assessments, consultations, and counselling to adults, adolescents, and seniors for the past 14+ years.

I work with individuals in Alberta (in person and virtual) and New Brunswick (virtual sessions only) who are feeling caught in problem behaviours, relationships, and/or feelings. I support people in learning about and working with the overly and easily attached brain. Issues I work with include: Alcohol, drugs, food, body image, relationships, sex, video gaming, gambling, shopping, as well as anxiety, anger, low motivation, emotional dysfunction, and more. I provide a safe, non-judgmental place to talk about what is happening in all aspects of your life and provide feedback and strategies for outside of sessions. Thank you!

As a certified Multiple Addiction Therapist and Clinical Sexologist with over 36 years of clinical practice experience I am able to treat individuals and families with a variety of presentations. My practice is dedicated to supporting individuals to alleviate sexual functioning and gender identity concerns. I also facilitate a "Continuing Care Program for Addiction Treatment" including appropriate intervention for individuals and their families impacted by addiction . We collaborate to find solutions that will support positive change.

The bulk of my experience is working with young people, families, and adults dealing with addiction , mental health concerns, and family relationship issues. I have also extensive experience working with parents / guardians coping with the stress caused by behavioural issues at home.

I believe each person is the expert in their own life but sometimes along our journey the lens through which we see the world and ourselves becomes a bit muddied and this impacts the way we behave and react to new experiences. My role in your journey is to help you see clearly again through that lens so you can get back to living more true to your authentic self. I work primarily from an attachment lens and have a gentle, yet direct approach to therapy. I work best with clients who aren't afraid to bring a little humor into sessions when appropriate and safe to do so.

However, it is much easier to overcome these obstacles when we are nurtured, supported and challenged in the context of a therapeutic relationship. Perhaps this is a good time to seek online psychotherapy from a caring and compassionate mental health professional.
