Psychologist, PhD, RPsych

People seek help from therapy on the basis of a healthy longing to find relief from their emotional suffering. Are you struggling with painful symptoms of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, anger/resentment, guilt or grief? Do you find yourself repeating self-defeating behaviours, like over-eating, over-spending or over-drinking? Are you stuck in familiar but dissatisfying
relationship
patterns with your partner, friends, parents, kids or coworkers? Maybe you are lonely but have trouble trusting others. Perhaps you wish you could express your feelings or thoughts, but are held back by a fear of judgement or rejection.
Carolyn Frew
Psychologist, MEd, RPsych
Verified
As an experienced grief, life transition and
relationship
therapist, I believe that old hurts can resurface in tough times and cause us to repeat patterns that get in the way of our relationships, goals and our lives.
This wasn’t the way it was supposed to be. You want to appear like you have it “all together”, but deep down you are anything but. Stressed out, anxious and full of self-doubt, you feel alone and overwhelmed as you struggle with unexpected challenges. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who has clinical experience and life experience because therapy should be a place where you feel safely guided by someone who can offer ideas and strategies when you feel stuck.
Erin Hinton, Relationship Specialist
Counsellor, MA, CCC
Verified
Are you in a
relationship
that feels lost, lonely or frustrating? Are you experiencing the stress that comes with parenting as well as the worry of a
relationship
that feels hopeless? I believe that relationships are the most powerful influences in our lives and that by gaining understanding and insight into how these relationships affect us we can achieve a better sense of self and live a more fulfilled life. Whether the strain is in your romantic
relationship
, with your parents or in-laws, or within your connection with your child - we can work together to build a brighter future.

I am passionate about
relationship
counselling and is accepting of relationships of all shapes and sizes.
I take a warm and compassionate approach to counselling. My priority is to ensure that clients feel comfortable and safe. When you step into my office you enter a space of acceptance where there is no judgement, only curiosity to understand your story. I believe that everyone is capable of changing their story but know how difficult change can be. I will support you, at your pace, in your journey, to become the best version of yourself. I am flexible and creative in finding the right path for your growth and healing. Modalities I like to use include Emotionally Focussed Therapy, Hakomi, Narrative, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy.

Psychologist, MEd, RPsych

Life is hard! We may be faced with challenges from the time we are young, and sometimes the struggles come later in life. Sometimes we lose ourselves along the way. The good news is that things can change and you are already stronger and wiser than you realize! I believe in the power of human resiliency and people’s capacity for personal growth. You are the expert on your own life, and whether you are working to heal from a past trauma, trying to improve your
relationship
skills, overcome struggles with anxiety or depression, increase your sense of self-worth, dealing with a loss, or just working to find yourself again. I can help!

Welcome! Having been one of the first in Calgary to be certified in sex addiction therapy, the bulk of my practice consists of individuals and couples in various stages of sex and other addiction recovery. Do you need help in the struggle to remain sober? Would you benefit from guidance in the formulation and maintenance of an effective recovery plan? Do you need a compassionate listener as you make sense of the trauma of discovery? My goal is to promote awareness of your emotional life; to help you establish and negotiate appropriate boundaries; and to enhance trust in all your relationships.

I hope that together we can nurture a therapeutic
relationship

Hi! Let’s take a deep breath: you’ve made it past the first step of identifying you need some help. In a world that is often too loud and busy, it is easy to fall into thought patterns that you are lacking; as a therapist, it is my role to help you shift that narrative from deficit to plenty. I believe mental health is fluid experience and that understanding your emotions and building meaningful coping strategies is key to sustainable resilience. My role is to create a safe and empathetic space for you to be vulnerable and show up as your authentic self. My practice style is grounded in attachment-based and family systems theory.
Cam Burbank
Registered Provisional Psychologist, MC, BS
Verified
My areas of expertise are diverse with an emphasis on
relationship issues
, and life transitions.
Congratulations on taking charge of your life! You are one step closer to getting the help and support that you seek. Asking for help requires courageous vulnerability, and recognizing that you are a "human-being". As humans, we all have limitations in our ability and capacity to handle stress. Asking for help doesn't mean there is something wrong with you, or that you are "broken." rather it may be that you are seeking to make meaningful and lasting change in your life.

relationship
you have with your emotions and thoughts to get you on the path you desire.
Are you in desperate hope that the next cup of coffee will give you the energy to keep going; Swimming in the ocean with no life raft in sight; Navigating life without a road map; Running a marathon with no finish line; A volcano ready to burst?

Whether the issue is infertility, addiction,
relationship
or family problems we will work through it together.
Life can be challenging and although we may be able to cope with the majority of difficulties that come our way sometimes an issue arises that feels too difficult to manage on our own. This may be a problem within ourselves, our relationships or a situation which is seemingly beyond our control. Let me support you in tapping into your natural strengths and resiliency to overcome the problem that is facing you today. We can work together to find the solution that will work the best for you.
Willa Litvack
Psychologist, PhD

Some are grappling with depression or anxiety, others with
relationship
difficulties, historic issues, or life transitions.
These are unprecedented times, rife with unprecedented challenges. The uncertainty of the situation, the lack of a map for understanding the present and envisioning the future, is a source of chronic stress for almost everyone one, and takes a particularly heavy toll on some. Its impacts are being felt at every level, experienced in ways that continue to evolve and that may be overwhelming. We are all new to this situation, but we are not new to grappling with unforeseen problems or having to pick our way though the unknown. Helping people to do that, even in ordinary times, is what my work is all about.
Alshaba Billawala
Psychologist, RPsych

Each one of us can find ourselves facing difficulties, whether these stem from past experiences, coping mechanisms, relationships, or current life circumstances. These difficulties can accumulate over time and can keep you leading the life that you want. If you find yourself in this position, I can provide a space for you to face these difficulties and take steps forward in a non-judgemental space. I have expertise working with adolescents, adults, and couples facing various difficulties including anxiety (generalized, social, panic, etc.), depression, trauma, PTSD, marital and
relationship
conflict/issues, stress, and grief.
Jennifer Thomson

relationship

relationship
we can create shared meaning to strive towards meaningful change.

relationship

My desire is that you feel safe and welcomed without judgement. I’ve created an environment that is free of judgement. We all have our own stories and our own struggles. No one should ever be judged on their story or difficulties. The Calgary Institute of Counselling was created with a focus on bringing healing to clients. It focuses on client care and transformation. Our Calgary Psychologists want to hear your story.

Relationship Issues Counsellors
While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
