Therapists in Alberta

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 provide a variety of options--we utilize play therapy, animal- assisted therapy, EMDR, art therapy, filial therapy, sandplay therapy, and traditional psychotherapy to provide clients with comprehensive care. We treat children, teens, adults, and families using both traditional and non-traditional therapies.

Welcome! I'm Claudia Vasquez, a Registered Provisional Psychologist currently working at ARCH Psychological Services. Together I aim to create a caring, trusting and supportive environment where you can feel safe to explore any concerns or worries you may have. I understand that you are the expert in your own life; therefore, you know what is best but may need further support and help.

My name is Ruth Proulx, and I am the owner of Mountain View Psychological and Co-Owner of Paramount Psychology and counselling. I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgmental setting where individuals, couples and families can explore their personal, and often times sensitive concerns and feelings. I offer short-term (up to 6 sessions) or long-term (open-ended) counselling to suit everyone's needs and budget. From helping couples and individuals, mentoring students and qualifying professionals, to delivering workshops, offering trainings and speaking at conferences, I am confident that I can offer support you can trust.

Do you feel like you are living in misalignment with the things you care about? That you're living with unmet potential and spend time focusing on things that don't match your values? At work or in your relationships, this could be showing up as a big sense of distraction — even though you’re doing so much, it seems like you’re getting nowhere. You have high hopes and big dreams, but feel disconnected and stuck. Something might feel “off” and it’s hard for you to feel motivated to keep going through motions without procrastinating and delaying. I work with clients to improve their overall performance and life satisfaction.

I provide online therapy in AB, NS, & NB to women and therapists dealing with anxiety, trauma (single incident, complex, attachment, & family of origin), perfectionism, fertility issues, and the painful legacy of being an adult child of a narcissist. In therapy we will make space for all the parts of you and all the things you find hard to say and begin to understand how your beliefs about yourself developed in response to how you adapted to belong and survive in your life. I use psychodynamic, body-focused, mindfulness, EMDR, Flash, clinical hypnosis, and existential therapies to help you heal and get back to living well and fully.

My purpose is to help those with trauma find peace. Trauma has many faces. From haunting memories, and dreams to feeling anxious, angry, and depressed. Ties with friends and family can also be hurt. As much as trauma is painful, it is treatable. Over my 20 years of work, I have become an expert at building coping skills and helping others heal. I have had the honour to work with Canadian military veterans, RCMP, Calgary police, Paramedics and other professionals. I am also experienced working with persons who have been abused by their family and loved ones, motor vehicle accidents and other serious traumas.

Many people who struggle with mental health issues such as depression, anxiety, and stress, feel embarrassed or stigmatized. Others who struggle with domestic violence, relationship issues, faith based struggles, addiction issues, suicidal ideations, and anger management issues feel alone and unsure of who they can speak to. The foundation of my counselling practice is being compassionate and non-judgmental. I provide a person-centred practice which is about the client defining their own goals. I assure my clients they are in a safe place, confidentiality upheld, validated, and their life story and experiences honoured.

I am a registered counsellor in private practice who is dedicated to helping people navigate all sorts of life challenges and experiences. Services include relationship counselling, men’s issues, depression and anxiety counselling and more.

Whether you want to transform the core of what's been troubling you throughout your life, a space to process what’s happened, support to adjust to or understand yourself, or to develop more coping tools, and learn to thrive – I would love to support you. For the last seven years, I have worked in hospital, community, agency, and school settings in different cultural contexts, providing therapy and assessment for mild to chronic, complex issues and concerns.

As human beings we face a variety of personal challenges. I agree with Historian and Musician Bernice Johnson Reagon who said, "Life's challenges are not supposed to paralyze you, they're supposed to help you discover who you are". It is my goal to always approach my clients in a non-judgemental, supportive manner. I will assist you in shifting self-defeating behaviors and thoughts through psycho-education, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and mindfulness practice. This will enable clients to learn new ways of addressing the issues they encounter and begin to understand themselves more deeply on their journey of healing and growth.

I treat each person as an individual. I look at complex trauma that they may have experienced, and move with compassion and empathy towards healing. Then they are free to live a meaningful life with hope and happiness. I have worked with clients since 1984 with success. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Ericksonian Hypnosis. I use a brief therapy model. I am a Wall Street Journal Bestselling author, Happy Is The New Healthy. My book Habit of a Happy Life has been translated into Mandarin and Spanish. I have diplomate status with the American Board of Forensic Examiners and offer expert testimony in court.

As a mental health practitioner with over 11+ years of experience, I have come to value Love, Purpose, and Service. I believe these to be essential ingredients to a meaningful and fulfilling life. I utilize a compassionate, change oriented practice that's rooted in evidence-based interventions that facilitate growth, responsibility, and fulfillment in the lives of my clients by collaboratively working together to heal and recover from Trauma, Depression, Anxiety, and Attachment struggles.

You’re exhausted all the time, but struggle to sleep. You try to relax but it never works and you end up snapping at family/friends. No motivation which leads to procrastination. “What’s wrong with me?” you might ask yourself. "I don’t even feel like myself anymore". Dreading to go to work. Even hobbies or hanging out with friends doesn't bring much joy. Everything just seems so draining! You feel overwhelmed, not good enough, and irritable. Feeling lost and stuck because nothing you try seems to work. You want someone that "gets it" and can help you generate some practical solutions for your relationships, work, and life.

Feeling depressed, stressed, anxious, or ongoing emotional or physiical pain. I can help. Recognizing stressors and introducing coping strategies, somatic teachings, and mindfulness into our sessions, we gradually see lasting changes in behavior, emotional regulation, cognitive restructuring & positive mind traits. My focus is not only on your immediate areas of concern. By taking into account the whole of you, we together collaborate to gently explore and be curious about deeper-rooted patterns. EMDR and other somatic treatments assist us in uncovering insights into your past and aid the body in naturally healing past traumas.

I am the owner of Equinox Therapeutic. I most enjoy providing services to individuals who feel, in some way, "stuck" but feel that somehow, someway, life MUST have something better in store for them! Whether it's because of traumatic experiences that you still carry the weight of, or the sense that your current coping mechanisms are no longer functional for you, I can help you untangle the web of your past or present...allowing you ultimately to emerge with a true understanding of who you are, and a sense of empowerment and potential to be who you want to be. 2SLGBTQ+ affirming, and all expressions of queerness are welcome!

It is my privilege to bear witness to your healing journey. I believe that people are the catalyst for the change they desire, and my role is to support that change in a way that feels meaningful to you.

I bring to you an open, accepting, safe space to support your healing journey.
