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.

I believe in the inherent strength and potential of each individual, and I am committed to helping them thrive by embracing their true selves.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with a family-focused practice and over 15 years of experience. Children, youth, families, and parents/caregivers often see me when there are concerns about behavior, sleep, anxiety, emotion regulation, family and peer relationships, adjustment (e.g., parental separation, medical diagnosis), and disrupted attachment (e.g., foster care, adoption). Adults seek my services when they have concerns and goals related to relationships, coping, and adjustment. I have worked in diverse settings including children’s hospitals, school districts, a not-for-profit organization, and my private practice.

I believe that therapy has the ability to promote healing. Clients who are willing to open themselves to the process, will see themselves grow in their resilience, ability to cope with daily life, and heal from traumatic events.

I provide support and guidance for anxiety, trauma, stress, and relationships. My clients say I am their "safe space." I feel privileged to play that role! I have experience working with adults in various stages of relational and personal development. I am also skilled in working with couples. My approach involves a collaborative process of building a genuine therapeutic relationship, defining goals and values, and addressing obstacles to growth. I use a variety of therapy models, depending on specific needs. I accept you as you are as I join you in your journey.

Hi, my name is Danielle, and I am here to help you build and access the tools to elicit positive change in your life, and to help you navigate through life's difficulties through counselling. I work with adolescents (13 years and up), individuals and couples to help and support with various concerns, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem issues, burnout, stress, communication issues, relational distress, emotional detachment, and relational conflict.

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 treat anxiety and depression. These conditions often stem from trauma either from childhood or as an adult. I also work with couples via an Emotionally Focused Therapy which is an approach to couples therapy based on attachment. I believe that an integrative approach, focusing on the whole person, as well as their significant relationships which I believe comprise one's total health and wellness.

Is your life all you want it to be? Are you struggling to make changes on your own and it just ISN'T working? I offer skilled and compassionate counselling in a non-judgmental, safe and confidential environment where you can share your concerns, gain perspective and learn specific, targeted tools to help you navigate life's challenges, improve wellness and heal and move past life's difficulties. Working from a person-centered, holistic approach I blend cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic (including attachment focused) and interpersonal therapies to individualize the best care for you.

I have experience working with a variety of client challenges, including relationship challenges (e.g. family conflict, polyamory/open, infidelity, sexuality, attachment patterns), anxiety, depression, identity concerns, life purpose, and transition. I have specialized experience in suicide bereavement, and my predominant areas of practice include grief, attachment, and trauma. My training in somatic attachment is rooted in rewiring the patterning of our interpersonal relationships, which directly impacts how we emotionally process and behave within these relationships.

I want to help you tap into your innate capacity to heal - help you become open to experience, learn to trust yourself, develop an internal evaluation of yourself and have a willingness to continue growing. In private practice, I provide individual, family, marital/relationship, and group counselling. I treat people across the lifespan including children, adolescents (e.g. navigating identity), adults (e.g. working through relationships, parenting, and career issues), and the elderly (grief and life transitions).

I aim to meet my clients apart from the pretension and stigmas of the psychology world, as well as the norms of culture/society in general. Creating a space apart from all the things we think we need to be and should be allows for an authenticity to engage the obstacles in life in a new way. Therapy should not be “one size fits all” and so with the expertise that you have of your life, combined with my skills and training, we can work together to get past both the internal and external things keeping you from being more of the human you were meant to be; creating a new mental space where you can continue to grow and thrive.

First and foremost we see our clients as human-beings trying to do the best they can with what they have truly accessible to them at the time. At Assured Psychology we are blessed to be able to provide counselling services for individuals (adults/older teens) and couples. We are also able to offer family counselling if needed. No matter the mental health or relationship concern, we approach every client from a de-stigmatizing supportive approach.

Over 30 years, I have the privilege of talking to, listening to, walking with and praying for women & couples who struggle with their family, marital, and interpersonal relationships. In 2002, I graduated with a MA in counselling. Since then I have been counselling formally in the Calgary area. I love to help women to reconnect with God in their spiritual struggles and work on their relationships with others. I have journeyed with many women who experience domestic abuse. The vicious cycle has kept many in terrifying living situations. I also enjoy working with couples who love each other but have a hard time getting along.
