I primarily use a somatic internal family systems model.
Do you feel overwhelmed by your thoughts and feelings? Are you stuck repeating old relationship patterns and feeling frustrated with your attempts to break these cycles? Does your inner voice drown you in self-criticism, and despite trying positive thinking you don't believe it deep down? You are not alone in these feelings and you can discover new ways to connect with yourself and others, heal your deepest wounds, and finally feel confident to manage your overwhelming mental chatter and emotional reactions. It is possible to achieve the inner peace you seek.

I utilize Accelerated Resolution Therapy, mindfulness practices and somatic therapies.
I've been in the helping profession for over 20 years. What I know for sure is that the desire for healing is common and yet each story is unique. I excel at utilizing effective interventions to address feelings and experiences that feel distressing and "stuck". This can look like not knowing how to move forward, knowing but struggling to make changes, or feeling lost or confused about how to reduce distress. I would be honored to hear your story.

As a somatic & compassion-focused therapist, I believe that all coping strategies are your mind & body's way of protecting you, but some may no longer meet your needs.
Maybe you never feel enough, and what "enough" even looks like may feel uncertain. You might be exhausted from feeling the guilt and shame you don't know how to talk about. Perhaps you think your overwhelming past experiences will never leave you. I work with folks who long to accept and connect with themselves & others but feel stuck and in a loop of self-criticism. As a Korean-Canadian Psychologist with many intersecting identities, I also understand and work with many personal and systemic challenges faced by BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities. I offer care, skills, and insights to support your growth and discovery of new possibilities.

As a therapist who specializes in both anxiety and addiction, I have had great success with clients learning to manage their struggle with anxiety, depression, life transitions or substance use concerns.

I integrate talk therapy with somatic practices like breathwork and Qi Gong to help you feel safe in your body.
Life doesn’t always go as planned. You might be carrying grief, anxiety, addiction, or identity questions—or facing a big life change like moving to a new country, navigating loss, or entering retirement. I’ve been there too. Building a new life in an unfamiliar place and grieving the loss of my beloved pet were deeply personal turning points. These experiences shaped the way I hold space for others. Healing isn’t about fixing ourselves—it begins by meeting our pain with compassion, curiosity, and courage. You don’t have to go through it alone.

I mainly use emotionally focused individual therapy and Adlerian psychology as well as elements of cognitive-behavioural therapy, somatic processing, and solution-focused brief therapy to help facilitate clients’ healing and create lasting change.
Have you ever asked yourself, "How do I even feel my feelings"? Or wondered how you heal pain from the past? Perhaps you just don't feel like you are living a life you love and are not sure why. I believe that our feelings are always telling us something, but many of us were never taught what to do with those feelings. We can hold onto unresolved feelings from our past which can then impact us in unconscious ways, keeping us from living the lives we want. I work primarily with women and people from the 2SLGBTQ+ community to heal the past and overcome present challenges to move forward more intentionally.

I integrated additional frameworks such as CBT, DBT, and somatic experiencing.
Beginning therapy makes most of us feel vulnerable as adults, let alone feeling increasingly vulnerable when bringing in children. This is why I incorporate a play-based approach in my practice when building a safe and comfortable therapeutic relationship, before navigating the challenges you are experiencing.
I support children and families through challenges such as grief and loss, palliative and terminal illness, trauma, adolescence transitions, behavioural and emotional needs, and attachment-related concerns. Additionally, I meet with adults experiencing palliative diagnoses, and death and dying.

Tracy Fields ~ Highly Sensitive People Empaths
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, RSW
3 Endorsed
Calgary, AB T2H
One method that I offer is Somatic therapy which allows for deeper healing.
I offer counselling to people that are highly sensitive and highly empathic. Many of my clients are intuitive and seem to know things and see things that others aren't aware of. This often leaves them feeling out of place, isolated, and unsure if they can trust themselves. A common issue is being in relationships where you over give but are told you are not doing enough. This can lead to overthinking, overanalyzing, anxiety, depression, and low-self esteem. You might know what you want to do, what you want to say but get stuck because of the worry of hurting the other person's feelings.

I use an integrative approach to therapy, including eye movement based therapies - EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy, ego states (parts work), Observed and Experiential Therapy, compassion focused and somatic approaches tailored to your specific therapeutic needs and goals.
From the outside, it looks like you have it together; on the inside you’re struggling and feeling like this is not the life you signed up for. You may be fed up with feeling weighed down by your past, feeling controlled by your emotions, or feeling like anxiety is a constant companion. You might not even remember a time when it didn’t feel this way. One thing is for sure, you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to wake up each morning feeling like you've got this. You’re ready to feel good about yourself. Most of all you’re ready to put the past behind you and start living life on your terms. I can help you.

How does somatic therapy work?
Somatic therapy is a form of treatment that focuses on how the body and mind are interconnected. In this approach, physical symptoms are addressed because they may in fact signal emotional distress. Somatic therapists combine mindfulness, talk therapy, breathwork, yoga, dance, and physical manipulations of the body to help patients become more attuned to what their body is telling them.
Is EMDR a somatic therapy?
EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a form of somatic therapy, as it incorporates mental and physical principles. EMDR involves remembering a traumatic experience while allowing one’s eyes to track a side-to-side visual stimulus from a therapist. This lateral eye movement is believed to diminish the painful power of the memory so that it can be discussed with a therapist.
Is somatic therapy evidence-based?
Somatic therapy has been researched and studied, and some forms of somatic therapy are found to be effective in treating a wide range of conditions. Because somatic therapy encompasses many techniques, some, such as EMDR and meditation, have been studied more than others.
What is somatic trauma therapy?
Somatic trauma therapy is based on the idea that when people experience trauma, they can become stuck in the “freeze” part of a “fight, flight, or freeze” response. In this state, trauma can manifest itself both mentally and physically—through tension in the muscles, anxiety, and stress. Popular forms of somatic trauma therapy include EMDR, sensorimotor therapy, and somatic experiencing.
