Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) Therapists in Calgary, AB

I started my practice to create a space that is healing, safe, and accepting to help you become more resilient, empowered, and content. Life is often difficult, confusing, and disappointing, but you are much more than your bad days, bad months or bad years. I believe that healing comes from recognizing your true self, living authentically, and balancing acceptance and change. With consistency and commitment, it is possible to break out of patterns that no longer serve a purpose. I offer a judgment-free space where I aim to support you in living the life you want, with peace and conviction. Your goals for yourself are within reach.

At this moment, you might be feeling lonely, distressed or anxious, and you are at the point where you feel something must be done about it. Thank you for taking this step in looking for a counsellor. I would be honoured to support you in your journey. Over the past 14 years, I've helped individuals struggling with depression and anxiety. I have provided a space for individuals who want to discuss their struggles while receiving professional and informed support. If you want that space to grow, call me to see if we are a good fit.

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.

Shelley Ugyan, RRC, is an acclaimed author, speaker and has over 15 years experience in mental and holistic health. Her evidence based tools including Cognitive Behavioural reconditioning as well as psychodynamic, relational and hypnosis approaches set you on a path to direct healing, starting immediately after the first 90 minute session. Her approach is genuine, empowering and powerful. Healing is probable, and happens as a result of conscious daily actions and unconscious dynamics that shift as a result of this process. Shelley loves to work with individuals who are ready and willing to change their thinking to heal for life.

Hello there! I am currently accepting new clients. I offer individual counselling and sports/ performance counselling to youth and adults. I'm passionate about supporting individuals as they navigate challenges, move through transitions, and pursue their values, in sport, work, relationship, creative, or personal pursuits.

I believe it is important to be heard and respected, especially when one is actively making changes in their life. I have over 30 years experience working in the mental heath sector in Calgary, with the past 16 years spent at Alberta Health Services as a Mental Health Clinician working with adults. I provide a holistic, client-centered approach, and use a variety of therapeutic modalities. I am particularly interested in helping people recover from trauma, grief and loss, using Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). It is a non-invasive, evidence-based psychotherapy providing relief from distressing or traumatic images or memories.

Please reach out via EMAIL as this is the best way to contact me.

I am a clinical psychologist in Calgary, and provide individual, family, as well as group therapy. I also provide comprehensive psychological assessment services, as well as consultation to parents, schools, health care providers, and other professionals. My experience includes previous and current employment in the health care and educational sectors, including hospital and community settings. I typically practice from a cognitive-behavioural therapy model, and use a brief, solution focused approach to therapy. My work with couples and families tends to be more emotionally focused, attachment based, and I use a family systems approach.

I am passionate about helping people of all neurotypes to understand themselves, develop their strengths, and support struggles and challenges. I recognize that everyone is unique, so therapy approaches need to be personalized to an individual’s unique needs. I strive to create a safe therapy space using collaboration, trust, and clear communication. I believe in collaborating closely with my clients with a practice based in compassion, curiosity, and nonjudgement. I also strive to help my clients feel seen and heard, and I love supporting people as they build emotional awareness to support emotional regulation and self-awareness.

I help individuals who struggle with difficult emotions such as anxiety, sadness, anger, guilt, jealousy and shame. You can learn to change your emotional reaction and respond the way you to want in this world. You can develop critical skills to deal with your own thoughts as well as life stressors, including relationship difficulties, work stress, life transitions, grief and loss, and chronic illness. You can learn to let go of past hurts and focus on the here and now. Together, we address barriers to your well-being so that you can feel secure and experience a balanced, meaningful life.

Life can feel overwhelming at times and it's important to realize you are not alone. I am a registered psychologist who provides assessment and treatment services to adults and seniors with mild to severe mental health issues—specifically, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, self-esteem, life transition, addiction issues, bipolar and psychotic disorders, as well as posttraumatic stress among MVA survivors. My work conducting psychological assessments offers another angle in promoting self-exploration and identifying opportunities for growth. I also provide vocational counselling in the context of life and career transitions.

We don’t overcome. We move through… Life is rarely easy, but sometimes, the weight of it all can be crushing. Losing sleep. Feeling worried, stressed, or overwhelmed. Avoiding people. Saying ‘no’ to things you used to enjoy. These are all signs of depression and anxiety, and if you’re noticing them in yourself, or in your child or teen, I can help. A psychologist since 2007, I bring experience from private practice, neuro-rehabilitation, and education settings. I have successfully treated adults, children, and teens struggling with anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and trauma (e.g., motor-vehicle accidents).

I believe everyone has strengths, support, and a desire for growth. Such support needs to encompass unconditional positive regard and understanding. It is important to meet clients where they are and strive towards their goals with compassion, while gently challenging beliefs. I believe that all clients have a unique perspective of their situation, which is rooted in their identity, values, and culture. My previous work with disadvantaged populations and clients on their grief journey taught me that the challenges individuals face are contextualized to their sociocultural positionality, identity, and relationship dynamics.

Do you feel like life is demanding more than what you can handle? Do you feel like you’re going through the motions without feeling like an active participant in your own life? Do you struggle with lack of motivation in one or more areas in your life? Trying to prioritize your health while also caring for others can leave you feeling disconnected, anxious and depressed. Becoming aware of the areas in our life that you want to improve is the first step in beginning to shift your perspective and attitude, to take a more active role in navigating your life and to feeling more fulfilled.
