Marriage Counselling Therapists in Red Deer, AB

Life can be messy on the inside, even when it looks great from the outside. Often we can feel numb or overwhelmed inside. Alone. Are you seeking to gain insight and clarity around your habits, patterns or relationships? Do you feel your relationships are supporting you or keeping you stuck? How does your life feel to you: vital and juicy or stale and stagnant? How do you want your life to feel? And who were you meant to become? Perhaps you are navigating a significant life transition - exploring who you are and what's next. Often, counting ourselves in is the first step.

In life, challenges are everywhere. Do you feel that you are under too much pressure, worrying about the demands of the outside world? Are you constantly disturbed by past painful memories, feeling doubtful of yourself and powerless to change? I'd be willing to help! I have thousands of hours of psychological assessment and intervention experience working with clients with a variety of mental health concerns in inpatient and outpatient psychiatric units, health-related (cancer, cardiac, and neurological disease) clinics and rehabilitation centres, and private practice places.

Welcome to Consilience Counselling. I'm Nicole. Your connection and confidence in your therapist is pivotal. It is important that you find the right therapist and therapeutic approach for you. The gentle yet powerful therapy at Consilience is rooted in neuroscience and full of heart. I integrate top down talking therapy and bottom up neurobiological approaches such as Brainspotting to treat anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship, desire and intimacy issues, personal growth, overeating, spiritual emergence, chronic pain, performance anxiety, creative & career blocks and to achieve next level sports performance for athletes.

If you're struggling with difficult feelings, unwanted thoughts, or behaviours that aren't healthy, my specialty is helping you make the changes you want in your life. This includes helping people with depression, anxiety, trauma, and sexual health issues. Sometimes people find that they are suffering from more than one of these things at the same time and it can be overwhelming. Ultimately, I strive to be there with you compassionately and help you feel more clear and in control of the issues you bring to session. This includes making realistic goals, understanding complex emotions, and building useful skills for a lifetime.

Accepting day-time clients. I am a Registered Psychologist with 8 years of experience in the mental health field. My practice is focused on helping individuals and couples create meaningful, fulfilling, and emotionally safe relationships with themselves and others. I work from an attachment lens, honoring our human need for emotional safety and belonging. I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and mindfulness-based somatic modalities to help clients acknowledge and understand themselves and their needs. When appropriate and helpful I draw from Narrative, CBT, and Gottman Method interventions to best support my clients.

Motherhood can be overwhelming and complex, bringing out your greatest strengths and highlighting your deepest struggles. Parenting can bring up attachment wounds and traumas, leaving you feeling dysregulated, lost, and alone. As a maternal mental health specialist, my goal is to compassionately support women to become more grounded and empowered, while finding connection and healing for themselves and their families. I work with clients to shift generational patterns, understand internalized pressures, become more present, and reclaim wellness for themselves and their families. You deserve to thrive, not just survive.
