Solution Focused Brief (SFBT) Therapists in Calgary, AB

We all struggle at times, but I am here to help you get back to the person you choose to be. My work focuses on supporting clients to learn about and manage the things going on in their lives. I work primarily with obsessive compulsive disorder, trauma, chronic pain, anxiety, stress, and interpersonal/relationship issues. My clients are looking to take back control in their lives and do the things they want to do, live how they want to live. I share my clients' goals, so consider me on your team.

I enjoy working with children, pre-teens, and adolescents (ages 5-18) as well as with young adults and parents. I specialize in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, emotional regulation, ADHD, family/peer relationship difficulties, life transitions, academic issues, perfectionism, and trauma-related concerns. I feel that it is important to develop a secure, trusting connection with my clients so that they feel comfortable discussing their concerns, exploring what help they need, to gain some insight, and to work with me on addressing these issues. I feel that the client is the expert and I offer a supportive, nonjudgement approach.

Hi there! I am a Registered Psychologist practicing out of multiple locations in Calgary, Alberta (Marlborough, Sunridge, and Macleod Trail). Are you struggling with your mental health and/or finding it tough to cope with life stressors? Or perhaps you want to work on self-improvement and are not sure where to begin? I may be able to help! Some of the more common challenges I assist with include depression, anxiety, trauma, motor vehicle accidents, pain management, stress management, sleep issues, grief, concussions or traumatic brain injuries, adjusting to life changes, and return to work issues. I also work with WCB and NIHB.

Welcome! I am so glad you landed here! My approach to therapy is collaborative and is inspired by the unique challenges, strengths and stories you bring into each session. I can support you with understanding and managing your emotions, taking a look at cycles of conflict you are going through, moving from self-criticism to self-compassion, exploring values and how to live by them, and processing difficult events. My areas of interest include self-esteem, stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, expatriation/repatriation, body image concerns, disordered eating, and cultural and spiritual exploration.

I strive to provide clients with the technical tools to help achieve their goals. I know that each individual comes with their unique experiences and, as such, different people will require different things from therapy. Therefore, I utilize a combination of modalities to address varying life concerns including depression and anxiety. I believe in a person-centred, nonjudgmental approach to counselling where no struggle is seen as insignificant. Accordingly, I strive to have open and honest communication about my clients’ needs to ensure that I am providing them with the best possible support in their journey towards healing.

I strive to meet my clients where they are at, and to help them achieve the changes they seek. I believe that under the right circumstances, clients have the capacity to look inward, to free themselves from feeling stuck in the past, and to find new ways to move forward. This often requires hard work, but growth and change are possible when clients are given a safe space to explore unhelpful patterns of thinking and learn to think and behave in healthier ways. By clarifying their personal meaning, clients can be empowered to choose new directions in life.

Initiating any type of therapy can be intimidating. My approach is to offer a welcoming, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood as we work together on your treatment goals. I work with individuals on a wide range of mental health-related issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, parenting, burnout and workplace issues. Over the years, I have worked with clients from a variety of fields, including first responders, veterans, health care workers, teachers, executives, business and sales professionals, students, and stay-at-home parents.

As a counsellor, I strive to connect with you in a meaningful way and to create a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore life's challenges. I practice from a culturally sensitive, strength-based, and trauma-informed approach. I am committed to understanding your perspective and collaborating with you on achieving your therapeutic goals. I believe that even small steps can move you towards positive change and foster a greater sense of hope. I hold a Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, and have formal training in Holistic Nutrition, Motivational Interviewing and Experiential Learning.

If you find yourself struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, substance abuse, grief or trauma then I believe I am the right fit for you. I have an analytic mind and a compassionate nature, eager to find workable solutions to a wide variety of presenting problems. I will work WITH you along your mental health journey to get you back to your life. I believe mental health is a process that requires active participation from both the client and counsellor. I will guide and support you through your journey to mental wellness.

Are you feeling the effects of past or present trauma? Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, depression or relationship conflict? I can help. Do you need someone who is impartial and unbiased to talk to about issues and to help you reach your goals?

You can talk to me in a space that is safe and confidential. Our first session will end with you feeling better and more positive and hopeful. Please reach out via EMAIL as this is the best way to contact me.

My name is Aaron Telnes and I am the Owner and Registered Psychologist at Catalyst Psychology. I strive to help clients to both overcome their mental health challenges and achieve their mental health and life-related goals through a client centered, solution-focused, approach to therapy. Working with clients who might be struggling with Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, Life Transitions, ADHD, and Relationship Issues, I work to ignite the change within and support clients to address their challenges, develop coping strategies, cultivate a positive mindset, achieve their goals, and live a happy and successful life.

In my initial sessions, clients usually say, “I want someone that gets me.” This is a shared feeling; I also want my therapist to “get me” and connect with me. Hence, I use evidence-based approaches to build this connection with my clients, honoring their stories and enabling them to feel heard, unjudged, and respected. This alliance, I believe, is fundamental to the results we collaboratively attain in therapy. I work with children, teens, young adults, seniors, couples, and families from a person-centered, systemic, and strength-based lens.
