Therapists in Calgary, AB

Does looking after your loved one's care seem like a full-time job? Have you been experiencing emotions that make it difficult to cope? Are you unsure if you or your loved one need to move to a place with more supportive care? Are you looking for services and resources but feel like you don't even know where to start? Centro offers a number of different services to assist Calgary seniors and their caregivers with challenges they may be dealing with.

People are often at a point in life where they realize that change needs to occur in order to promote psychological well being. I work with clients to identify their unique skills and facilitate change at their own pace. I offer services to children, teens, adults, and the elderly. The statement that drives my life view is: "Life is colourful and constantly changing." Nature appears to attest to this philosophy as well with the four seasons of colors and changes. With every season, life (and death) ebbs and flows, always towards what is to come...whatever that may be.

You're struggling. Perhaps you can't sleep anymore, or you are seeking comfort in all the wrong places. Maybe you're depressed, finding it difficult to get out of bed and come out from under a cloud of ever-present despair. Maybe you're anxious - heart pounding, sweaty, shortness of breath, obsessive over simple tasks. Perhaps you are drinking too much or using drugs. You might even just be tired, withdrawn, sure that there is more to life but not sure what to do about it.

Take this moment, right now, and bring to mind a situation where you were met with an obstacle and managed to overcome it. Bring to mind the images you had at the moment you succeeded. Bring to mind what you told yourself and how you felt. Close your eyes and remember. Many of us often forget that we already possess qualities of inner strength; internal resources that, when tapped into, can reveal solutions to our problems and give us fresh perspectives and new insights. I am well-positioned to accompany you along your path and guide you towards a brighter future, so that you thrive even during life’s most difficult moments.

I am a passionate, authentic & client-focused psychologist who is dedicated to supporting my clients as they experience various challenges. If you are experiencing difficulties as an individual, or parent, you are not alone. I would love to empower you to walk with more clarity, confidence and joy. For adolescents who are feeling anxiety, depression or frustration in interpersonal relationships, I am here to listen, help you process, and work towards acceptance and emotional transformation.

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist currently taking new clients. Therapy is a collaborative process that focuses on healing and increasing mental wellness. Change your unwanted behaviours into tools that will help you heal using cognitive behavioural therapy. Find your inner voice and express your experiences to those people around you with narrative therapy. For experiences that defy words, art therapy helps you to communicate those experiences, and to externalize your negative feelings and behaviours, so that you can explore and assess them safely.

I have been passionately providing counselling to individuals, couples, children and families and supporting them in their journey to mental health well-being. I have been helping clients who are facing depression and anxiety as a result of life challenges such as relationship issues, divorce and separation, past traumas, parenting issues, health concerns etc. Things are often not what they appear and our past experiences might have negative effects on our self-esteem and self-image, how we perceive things and the way how we relate to the others. Those past experiences often prevent us from moving forward in life and keep us stuck.

I understand that, at times, life can be challenging and difficult to manage. In these moments, it can be helpful to seek support from others to help discover healthy and adaptive ways of coping. I believe in building strong relationships with clients founded on trust, empathy and mutual respect so that individuals feel understood, and are encouraged to create positive change in their lives. I have experience working with diverse clientele at the Calgary Urban Project Society, Mount Royal University, and in private practice.

Thank you for considering our clinic. We are a professional counselling and consulting practice dedicated to instilling hope, promoting well-being, and inspiring growth of our clients. To that end, we use evidence-based practice in psychology (EBPP). The term refers to the application of the best available research with clinical expertise in the context of client characteristics, culture, and preferences. Although we employ different modalities, we are primarily an Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Brainspotting (BSP) practice.

I work with children, youth, young adults, adults with unresolved childhood issues, and families experiencing a range of presenting developmental, learning, adjustment, behavioural, adaptive, and social-emotional disorders and concerns. I provide a range of therapy and assessment services and believe a collaborative, personalized, and relationship-based approach is most successful in keeping motivation to engage high so positive change may occur. Areas of specialty include complex developmental, behavioural, and learning disorders, mood regulation, fears and worries, school concerns, parent separation/divorce, death and loss, blended families, child abuse and neglect, parent-child relationship, and social/peer difficulties.

Are you experiencing low self-worth, stress, grief/loss, relationship difficulties, depression and/or anxiety? You've already taken a large and courageous step in the process of healing by reaching out to get support; I would be honoured to work with you. My hope is that you'll be able to achieve your goals while introducing more compassion into your life. I work with adult clients of all genders. I also specialize in working with adults who've experienced childhood sexual abuse and adults who have been recently or historically sexually assaulted.

**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** I am experienced in Child and Adolescent Mental Health, where I worked for the past 20+ years with AHS. I am well-versed in assessment and therapy with children and teens who present with mental health concerns, so their families can live healthier, more productive, and more fulfilling lives. Or, are you looking for someone who specializes in relationships ~ your partner, your children, your family? When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are. I greatly enjoy supporting couples, families, parents, and children alike, who present with much strength, although in distress.

** NOT CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** If you're struggling to feel like yourself, and are overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, burned out....I can help. Perhaps you're looking to find peace, joy, and meaningful living. Or maybe you just need to know how to sleep well again. I'm here to help you get your mojo back. I'll use my 20 years of counselling experience to help you cope, heal, and eventually thrive. I'll use genuineness, non-judgment, curiosity, empathy and lots of humor to help get you to where you want to be. As a Registered Yoga Teacher, I offer yoga to my clients as an adjunct to their wellness plan.

Most of us were never taught how to identify and name our emotions, or how to stay present instead of getting stuck in the worries of the future or regrets of the past. We may find ourselves avoiding, distracting, or using less than helpful methods to cope. When we know how to change the changeable, or when to accept reality as it is, we can live differently and avoid the patterns we tend to fall back into. I specialize in teaching my clients ways to skillfully manage anxiety and emotional difficulties in a way that allows real change to occur

You are the expert in your own life and I believe that a positive and supportive therapeutic relationship can help create the change you are looking for. When working with you, I bring my authentic and fully-engaged self to help you feel heard, valued, and respected. It is an immense privilege to enter the stories of other people’s lives and I feel deeply honored to do so. It is important for me to tailor treatment and interventions specific to each of your unique and individual needs, and so wholehearted listening and understanding to each unique story, experience, and situation is vital.

It can be hard to step into life the way you want when struggling with painful thoughts, emotions, or experiences. Asking for help takes courage and I work hard to provide a safe and authentic space to support you. I am passionate about working with people who feel hijacked by their thoughts and emotions, and with couples who are finding it difficult to feel securely connected. In therapy we work collaboratively so that you can gain new insight, experience peace, and find creative, workable ways to tackle difficult behavioural, emotional, or interpersonal problems.

Hello, and welcome! There are times in life when we feel overwhelmed, stuck, lost, confused with little to no sense of direction. To experience joy, connection and that feeling of being content, it is necessary to process whatever is going on and explore those parts of us that feel stuck. Whatever change you are needing and wanting to make, it can all be facilitated in a warm, safe and comfortable environment. I am committed to the journey of your wellbeing as I am to my own and together, we can explore and process whatever emotions, thoughts or/and behaviours that might be getting in the way of your optimal wellbeing.
