Canada Life | Great-West Life Therapists in Red Deer, AB

Connection to our authentic Self and to other’s authentic Selves is what helps us heal. I’m Brendon Olson, founder of New Connections Therapy where the motto is “Connect. Heal. Live.” I believe that symptoms of mental health and addiction may have some biological origins but are most often coming from well-meaning protector parts of us that are functioning to help us prevent or disconnect from our pain. I help you find your true, authentic Self so you can connect with and heal the pain and lead your well-meaning protector parts into taking healthier roles. I work with the internal system of your mind, not just your symptoms.

Do you struggle with relationships, depression, anxiety or addictions from drugs, alcohol or sexually compulsive behaviours? They can feel overwhelming. Whatever your struggle is, you do not have to be alone in this journey to recovery and healing. We can work together to find new solutions to the struggles you are facing, develop a greater compassion and understanding for yourself and others. I provide confidential, compassionate and caring space to work through these challenges. You do not have to be alone in this journey. Call or email me today to book an appointment and start your journey of healing and recovery.

Hello, reaching out to a therapist can be hard but you should know is this is a safe place to talk about whatever is going on in your life. I believe in providing a space without judgment, a space to download your story and to provide you a place of support and guidance. Part of my practice is to reach out to you in between sessions because I believe in a person centered approach and support should be ongoing. My goal is to support, guide and advocate so that each person finds movement forward. Life can be challenging and sometimes you just need another person to work things through with. I believe I can help you.

Having been well acquainted with the weight and pain of toxic shame myself, as well as having experienced this weight being lifted, I have a passion for helping others go through this shift too, in order to feel freer to share their authentic self with the people they hold most dear. I also have a passion for practicing and teaching mindfulness. Applying mindfulness to the many areas of my own life, including work, parenting, communication, and relationships with both myself and others, to name a few, has been life changing and has allowed me to more frequently experience life in the moment.

Clients that seek me are ready to access their inner childhood wounds and access a level of self-understanding that is life changing and transformative. My ideal clients are interested in NLP, unwiring limiting beliefs or learning how to balance out their chakras which is where we begin our journey; clearing generational trauma, inner-child work, and any emotions being trapped and expressed as physical pain. Beginning April I will be providing group classes and the gifts of community are enormous. These classes are for anyone wishing to grow spiritually and open/cleanse their chakras; www.butterflylotus.ca/group-session-intake/

Reaching out to talk about relational or personal struggles is challenging for everyone. This is why I work hard to form a non-judgemental environment for clients, regardless of what they wish to discuss. If you are noticing troublesome symptoms such as anxiety, depression, addictions, pornography use, or relational tension, I am here to help you understand the source and find a way to lasting healing. Clients who journey with me often report experiencing greater peace of mind and many different types of relief in their lives and relationships.

I belive that the foundation of therapy begins with building a strong working relationship rooted in trust and safety.

Welcome! It takes courage to look for clarity, peace, and direction during difficult times in life. It can be scary to reach out for help navigating the unique journey that you are on. Whether you are having relationship issues, feeling the magnitude of stress, or feeling stuck and disheartened, I would be honoured to walk with you along your path of healing. I provide a respectful, safe space where you can be supported to dive into honest exploration of what is happening in your life and relationships.

Parenting can leave us feeling more vulnerable, anxious, sad, angry or alone than we’ve ever been before. I love working with moms so they can feel better and work towards understanding and being the kind of parent they want to be. I often work with: postpartum anxiety, depression and rage; work/life balance; feelings of failure; identity as a mother; adjusting to parenthood, relationship struggles; fertility; creating healthy attachment; pregnancy and infant loss and a range of other concerns.
