Understanding the basis for a behaviour is important in identifying why that behaviour persists. Basically, looking at concerning behaviours through the lens of "Is this behaviour currently solving another problem? Or what problem has is solved before?" Then, using a blend of CBT techniques integrated in the solution focused lens to we adjust the behaviour.

Trauma can leave an imprint on our lives, but it does not have to be permanent. It may alter your foundation and leave you lost, angry, confused and in unbearable pain. I believe that choosing to rebuild this foundation through therapy is a courageous step in healing. It is not always an easy journey as we need to survey the land, start digging, install the foundation and work with any arising obstacles. This can be an exhausting and scary process but we will work collaboratively at your pace and create a resolution that fits for you.

Are you feeling overwhelmed and struggling to cope? Do you need a professional who is respectful, gentle, and can provide a safe and nonjudgmental atmosphere in which you can voice your concerns? If you want to heal your emotional pain and restore your self-worth, please reach out to me. You don't need to go through this alone.

Good psychologists devote ample time to listening to and helping their clients. No one should have to feel like they are making an elevator pitch when they see their therapist. I offer longer sessions which allow for deeper discussions and help that is personalized to your lived experience, strengths, and culture. My approach is calming, caring, insightful, and creative, and I'm also trained to discuss topics that some psychologists don't have the comfort or cultural knowledge to address. Together, let's start building a way forward free from struggle with negative emotions and towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life!

Matt Shandro has worked as a registered psychologist in the province of Alberta since 2009. He provides counselling and psychotherapy to teens, adults, couples, families and groups.

I want you to know that you can feel better. The effects of patterns like depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, and people-pleasing don’t need to rob you of a life lived well. Soul-sucking patterns like these gobble up your time, money, physical energy, thoughts, and the ability to focus on yourself. Life feels hard in this place. The good news is that pain is motivating! You've likely tried a bunch of things to feel better, but now your inner wisdom is whispering to you to find outside help for the inside pain, and here you are. If this resonates with you, I'd love to work together!

The emphasis of my practice is on working with adults, both individually and in groups, and I strive to engage with each person in a collaborative and holistic process of growth and change. I use a variety of theories and interventions, always working to find the best fit between the unique individual, the issues they face, and one or more proven, research-based approaches. My therapeutic style includes Cognitive-Behavioral, Acceptance and Commitment, Solution-Focused, Reality, mindfulness-based, and Hypnotherapies. I have worked with clients dealing with such issues as depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, addictions, and grief and loss.

At Family Counselling Centres we recognize that therapy cannot be a one size fits all approach. Every individual is unique in how they respond to therapy. Accordingly, we utilize play therapy, animal assisted (horse and dog) therapy, EMDR, art therapy, filial therapy, sand play therapy, and traditional psychotherapy to provide clients with comprehensive care. We treat children, teens, adults, and families using both traditional and non-traditional therapies. We believe that people can live up to their full potential if a nurturing environment is available-- this is why we put such a strong focus on the family.

Feeling distant from your spouse? Fighting with your teen? Struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, or addiction? Experienced trauma? I work with a variety of clients, but particularly enjoy problems in which clients that have felt misunderstood or mistreated. This includes working with adolescents, parent-teen conflict, relationship difficulties in both individuals and couples, addictions, anger or anxiety management, trauma, and Borderline Personality Disorder. In many of the clients I see, fear and confusion are often barriers to a satisfying life. Healing often comes through gaining confidence in areas one can control.

I am a Registered Psychologist and have been supporting children, teens and adults in a few positions over 15 years. With this experience, I have grown a love of supporting clients that have experienced perinatal grief and mood disorders and parenting struggles/transitions, in addition to other concerns such as grief, relationship issues, and depression, anxiety and stress. My clients can expect empathy with a dose of practicality, humour and honesty. My passion is attachment-focused parenting. I understand that parenting is the most important/difficult job out there, it is my honour to help.

We are each the author of our own life story, and at times it can feel like we don’t know how to write the next chapter.

My ideal client (Adult, Single, Relationships) is totally focused on understanding themselves as a wholly formed authentic person. You may be ready to heal from your past traumas and to evolve into the person you were always meant to be. I assist you to understand your boundaries and learn how to practice them in relationships. You want to understand the Drama Triangles and your own role in in it. I call this learning how to practice authenticity, which is about becoming the most authentic version of yourself. I can help you with that.

A psychological assessment looks at how well you are functioning, including looking at factors like memory, executive functions, academic abilities, thinking skills, and behaviour (ADHD, Autism, etc.). It can also look at aspects of mental health, such as depression and anxiety, to see how these might be impacting your day-to-day experiences. My background in neuroscience has helped me develop a deep appreciation and passion for the brain and how it works. I integrate this knowledge to better understand all the factors that might be impacting your unique situation in order to provide appropriate options and recommendations for you.
