Female Therapists in Calgary, AB

Evening and weekend appointments available! Everyone has a story. Together, we will work to uncover your strengths, unpack negative self-talk, and learn effective strategies. My work is rooted in rewriting your story in moving towards growth and healing. I specialize working in the areas of anxiety, depression, and body image. I am particularly passionate about working alongside women in healing their relationship with food and reconnecting with their bodies.

I am passionate about helping people become the best version of themselves and am continually learning how to best support my clients. I have experience with acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), but most importantly emphasize the therapeutic relationship. A safe, authentic relationship is key for therapy to work, and I prioritize compassion and nonjudgmental curiosity. Together, we can find out what matters most to you and how to get there.

I specialize in Women 's Mental Health and love working with moms. Stress and anxiety are at an all time high two years into the pandemic and moms are telling me they're exhausted and overwhelmed. They've been isolated in navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, the birth of children, the NICU and are parenting with few supports and often have kids who are struggling also. They've had to deal with difficult dynamics at work and in their personal lives, are coping with a multitude of losses and are dealing with past or present traumas. Reach out if you can relate and we'll work together to help make life more manageable right now.

Any individual who wants to work towards change in their life or who wants to understand their current experience in the context of their history is someone I want to work with. Together we can establish and reach many possibilities. If you have experienced trauma in your history we may explore hypnosis and EMDR as treatment possibilities.

I take a collaborative approach to therapy, encouraging clients to be actively involved in setting and working toward their goals. I help clients to identify their strengths and resources, to address barriers that may be getting in their way and to examine their issues in context.

Sometimes as women we feel stuck. Fear and self-doubt can keep us paralyzed in place because we don’t know where to start making​ change happen. And sometimes we’re petrified of making the wrong decision! Our limiting beliefs, ones that were created long ago, can often 'run the show' and affect the 'here and now' presenting dilemmas in our life that hold us back from feeling alive and thriving.

My name is Chelsea Smyth and I am the founder of Village Therapy. The pressure and expectations on mothers are at an all-time high, yet the traditional support system of the village no longer exists.

Does this sound like you? You’ve also been through some really hard things. No one would know it b/c you present really well & seem entirely put together on the outside- but privately, you’re hurting on the inside. The source of your pain might be known or waiting to be discovered. Or, maybe you’ve been doubting yourself, dealing with inner critic thoughts, or just feeling stuck. It’s been so long you can’t remember when you truly felt like yourself. You might even think things can’t change b/c you’ve been dealing with stuff longer than you’d like to admit. I want you to know it's not your fault & this isn't how things have to be.
