Sleep or Insomnia Therapists in Red Deer, AB

In SMART therapy clients are directed to REGULATE through MOVEMENT and as a result START TALKING so problem solving and healing can happen. Therapy is provided in a specially designed room with specialized equipment, such as arial swings, spinning, weighted blankets, balance beams, fitness balls, person sized pea-pod, body socks, dolphin pillows, and safe cubby holes, and tents. Movement, rest and safety is used to support natural ways of regulating bodies and emotions, facilitate parent-child attachment-building and allow for embodied processing of hurtful and traumatic experiences. It is not at all like traditional play therapy.

Are you ready to feel connected again, to let go of trauma, dysfunctional habits, and fears that have prevented you from moving forward and reaching your goals? I can help. I work in the areas of self-esteem, emotional regulation, eating disorders, addictions, relationships, work, and overall fulfillment in life. Whether you are caught in destructive patterns, experiencing anxiety, depression, panic, unexplainable sadness, or disconnection from yourself, together we can work to help you gain a sense of grounding, safety, healing, and freedom.

To the outside world, you may appear to function well. But on the inside, you might be in a constant state of anxiety and discomfort. It can be frustrating and confusing when life looks good on the outside but doesn’t feel as good on the inside. You might find that you spiral into overwhelming worry and fear of losing control. You might have anxiety about having anxiety. You might feel stuck, and held back in life. I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and burnout.

Life can feel overwhelming at times and it's important to realize you are not alone. I am a registered psychologist who provides assessment and treatment services to adults and seniors with mild to severe mental health issues—specifically, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, self-esteem, life transition, addiction issues, bipolar and psychotic disorders, as well as posttraumatic stress among MVA survivors. My work conducting psychological assessments offers another angle in promoting self-exploration and identifying opportunities for growth. I also provide vocational counselling in the context of life and career transitions.

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.

Welcome to Consilience Counselling. I'm Nicole. The gentle yet powerful therapy at Consilience is rooted in neuroscience and full of heart. I integrate top down talk therapy and body/somatic based bottom up approaches such as Brainspotting, Internal Family Systems and Somatic psychotherapy. I offer Intensive Therapy+ pkgs for people who are busy and want concentrated effective healing vs traditional weekly or bi-weekly sessions.

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.

You want to live a rich, full, meaningful life, but something is getting in your way. Maybe you are struggling with an underlying sense of being unfulfilled or stuck. Maybe you are struggling to cope with a recent life change or loss. Maybe you are struggling to overcome an addiction or to manage feelings and symptoms of depression or anxiety. No matter what your unique struggle involves, there is a good chance it has left you feeling exhausted. It may even have you feeling like you are at war with your own mind.

I am a Registered Psychologist who has experience in both inpatient, and outpatient community settings providing individual, couples, family and group services to diverse populations and age ranges. I have extensive training in a number of therapy modalities however, I use an integrative structured approach to counselling mainly incorporating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy. I am also able to complete psycho-educational assessment, social-emotional diagnostic assessments, as well as cognitive and memory assessments.

My greatest passion is to bring healing and foster resilience to people who have been through a traumatic or stressful experience. I have over 20 years of experience, working directly with children, adults and families from various cultures, building empathy and providing nonjudgemental support to help people with addictions, depression, anxiety and grief. Currently I see individuals 13 years to 80 years old.

In my practice, I support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, ADHD, and trauma. I also offer assessment and diagnostic services (i.e. ADHD, PTSD, etc.). Life can be hard sometimes, and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they're struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers, caregivers, and empaths and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you're tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or simply want to feel better emotionally, you've come to the right place.

Currently accepting new clients for individual or couples counselling. Therapy can be beneficial for anyone who is struggling with emotional or mental health issues, such as anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship problems. I'm committed to creating a safe and supportive space to feel heard, understood, and empowered.
