Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapists in Crossfield, AB

Who are you? This seemingly simple question can be difficult to answer. Have you lost your answer? Tragedy, distractions, addictions, or avoidance often cause us to lose sight of our sense of self and lead us to make choices that contradict who we are at our core. The fallout of this can cause conflict in relationships and create unintentional barriers to building or fostering connections.

M.A.C.P. (Master of Arts Counseling Psychology), C.C.C. (Certified Canadian Counselor), C.C.T.P. (Certified Clinical Trauma Professional), C.A.T.P. (Certified Child & Adolescent Trauma Professional) I have been working as Certified Canadian Counsellor since 2017, registered with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association, working in both individual counselling and group therapy settings. In 2020 I became certified as a Clinical Trauma Professional for adults, children and adolescents. ​

I am a trauma informed therapist. I am trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy. My focus and area of practice has been working with addiction and trauma. I also have my own lived experience with addiction and trauma. I believe in showing up authentic, genuine, and with empathy. I am a mom, wife, dog mom, and a psychologist. I also believe that people are put in our path for a reason and feel very blessed with gratitude for everyone that crosses my path. Life is so beautiful and full of miracles, and yet it is also full of pain and challenges. I hope to offer some validation, relief and to hold some space for you.

We practice using a cutting edge model of therapy designed to re-pattern the disorganization in the lower brain centers, which helps get to the heart of the healing process for clients. Life presents us with many challenges and we believe we all deserve to have someone in our corner. I truly believe in the importance of working collaboratively.

My approach is trauma-focused and attachment oriented. I utilize both Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and Internal Family Systems (IFS) in my practice. Both are evidence-based modalities that facilitate Memory Reconsolidation. That's a fancy term meaning that disturbing emotional memories (which create triggers) can be unlocked, released and replaced so that you can truly heal and feel alive and free. Treatments include: PTSD, trauma, early childhood and complex trauma, OCD, Dyslexia, pain and addictions, loss and grief. You don’t have to go through what you’re facing alone.

I believe that engaging in a collaborative therapeutic process can help people live happier, healthier, and more productive lives. I provide caring, compassionate, and accepting support to set the foundation for a trusting relationship.

Welcome to Consilience Counselling. I'm Nicole. The gentle yet powerful therapy at Consilience is rooted in neuroscience and full of heart.

I operate with the fundamental belief that humans have the inherent ability to heal themselves. As a therapist, I believe that my role is to assist the client in finding patterns and habits that keep them from becoming their true self. Having worked in the healthcare field with teens and adults for a number of years, I am passionate about supporting clients in creating a healthy sense of self. Together, I hope to help my clients discover who they are, what they want, and how to interact with life’s challenges in the most harmonious and effective manner they are able.

Don is a non-judgmental, mature, and caring therapist, specializing in services to address the unique needs and challenges of boys and men. Sometimes difficult emotions arise making you feel terrible and damaging your relationships. Depression and anxiety can persist leaving you at a loss for what to do. Perhaps you have lost enthusiasm and motivation to engage with life and battled with a sense of shame that tells you that you must not be yourself. Your son may struggle with some of the above and you are not sure what to do. These experiences and so many more are common to boys and men who often tend to suffer alone.

To me, having a therapist is having someone to walk with you through life, which we all sometimes need. I hope I can walk with you through your unique journey to a place of healing. I have supported clients with a variety of challenges, including depression, anxiety, PTSD and women’s issues. I especially enjoy helping those who have gone through medical trauma and cope with chronic health issues. I know these issues are unique, and finding someone who understands the emotions that come with them can be challenging. I also greatly enjoy supporting parents whose children have disabilities, delays, and health conditions.

We are proud to provide a high level of skill and expertise to adults and couples.

In terms of couples, many come to couples therapy dealing with challenges such as communication issues, difficulties around sex, affairs, or considering a breakup.

Excessive worry, overwhelm, inner conflict, and fear can impede our ability to cope. I work with a range of hardships such as painful life events or transitions, general and relational stress, effects of toxic relationships, instability, conflict or betrayal, grief and loss, past or current trauma and parenting issues. My commitment is to hold a safe space to explore your concerns holistically - processing from an emotional, cognitive and somatic lens. It is important to me that you come away from our time with clarity and insight, new self-awareness and the strength and tools needed to help you move forward.
