The tools and strategies I have to offer can help to provide you relief from the distressing experiences that you may have been struggling with over your lifetime.

This is the place for you. The Calgary Institute of Counselling is an agency that is committed to ensuring exceptional care for all clients. Specialized training happens with all counsellors at the agency to ensure a high level of quality care.

I really love to laugh and have fun; I believe that laughing until your belly hurts can be the best antidote to almost anything, especially hard things and my experience over the last 20 years has shown me that this is true. I am proud of the work that I do and proud that clients tell me I am unlike other therapists; they describe me as a real person that cares a lot about the people I work with. I've provided therapy with a range of difficulties and at all stages of life. My goal is to take the time to help you to resolve whatever difficulties you are struggling with so that you can get on with the rest of your life.

Hello! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology, and I incorporate a trauma-informed, strengths-based, and context-sensitive approach in counselling. I am LGBTQ+ affirming and am able to provide culturally sensitive therapy. My areas of experience include supporting clients with concerns such as anxiety, depression, complex trauma, stress, women’s issues, ADHD, life transitions, cultural issues, self-esteem and body-image issues, and relationship challenges. I aim to work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that will help support you in reaching your therapeutic goals.

Would you like to feel motivated by life? Cultivate genuine, loving relationships? Feel comfortable in your skin, regardless of what life throws your way? Well you’re certainly not alone! Connection, self-esteem, and self-actualization have all been identified as human needs—essential to our mental health and well-being. Unfortunately, certain emotional, behavioural, or relational patterns can act as barriers to these needs, quelling our personal growth, and leaving us confined to oppressive cycles of anxiety and distress. Relate to any or all of the above? I think we all can—and perhaps I can help.

Registered Psychologist, Paloma Scott is highly experienced in offering support to complex cases with children, youth, adults, and families who have a variety of difficulties, such as Trauma (PTSD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Specific Learning Disorder (SLD), Giftedness, Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), etc.

Has anxiety and depression become amplified for you with issues from the past resurfacing? Maybe you have been to counselling before but would like to try a more holistic approach; one that will teach you the tools needed to overcome feelings of sadness, dread and uncertainty? Often times, experiences buried from childhood and the past resurface as adults which can greatly affect the way we feel and our sense of purpose in the world. It isn’t until things get so uncomfortable, that we feel the only option available is to make a change. This isn’t always easy but reaching out for support, is the first and most important step.

Welcome to STABLE GROUNDING PSYCHOLOGY. I am a Registered Psychologist with considerable experience providing mental health services. My approach is relationship focused to offer you safe and supported treatment involving genuineness, empathy, humor, and acceptance. Perhaps you feel stuck in patterns of behavior? Maybe you are struggling to make sense of your responses to challenging experiences? If you feel disconnected, confused, angry, fearful, frozen- you do not need to face this alone. I believe you are a survivor and I will meet you in caring connection.

Learning about yourself is an enlightening and important process. Therapy is personal. It’s about your life, passions, desires, and challenges. Finding the right therapist for you is key in your therapeutic success. My strength as a psychologist comes from my ability to build relationships of trust with patients, guiding them on a journey of self-discovery and healing, while leveraging my experience in both clinical assessment and talk-therapy to design an approach that creates momentum.

Now Accepting New Clients! I am a Trauma-Focused ACT Therapist, specializing with individuals struggling with compulsive behavior, obsessive thoughts, increased anxiety, depression, and hopelessness. Often, in our lives, we can feel pulled away from who we are and where we want to be, like our thoughts, feelings, and world around us are in control of where we go and how we get there. I work to empower my clients to reconnect with themselves and the world around them so that they can transform difficult times into moments of growth, leaving their lives better as a result.

This wasn’t the way it was supposed to be. You want to appear like you have it “all together”, but deep down you are anything but! Stressed out, anxious and full of self-doubt, you feel alone and overwhelmed as you struggle with unexpected challenges. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who has clinical experience and life experience because therapy should be a place where you feel safely guided by someone who can offer ideas and strategies when you feel stuck.

I am passionate about meeting you where you are at along your journey and joining you as you work towards growth, healing, and change. I value working collaboratively with my clients; therapy is not something done to you – it is done with you. My authentic and empathic nature, and focus on trust, curiosity, and acceptance, ensures you feel safe, secure, and seen throughout our time together. I strongly believe that strength and resilience lives within each of us. As such, I strive to empower my clients to discover and utilize their strength and resilience as they work towards change.

My practices evolved over time but always followed through the line of trauma. I work with kids as young as four up until whatever age they want to continue therapy. I am fortunate enough to have a very formative experience in EMDR, IFS, IFIO, and Clinical Hypnosis to address the needs of my clients. As a psychologist, I believe that to have good mental health, the individual must be treated as the whole person. So, I integrate the mind and body into my practice to help my clients to overcome depression, anxiety, grief, stress, mood disorders, and PTSD. I also proudly offer NeurOptimal Neurofeedback for brain training.

At Wholeness Psychology Centre, we work with a variety of concerns, including trauma, depression, anxiety, addictions, identity crisis, and relationship conflict. We recognize that short-term, solution-focused modalities are appropriate for some presenting concerns. For others, a more heart-centred, holistic, depth-oriented approach to therapy is necessary. Our team has the skills and training in both areas to best meet your therapeutic needs and goals. Our approach is multifaceted and involves working with several layers simultaneously and getting to the core of your experience and needs in assessments and counselling.

Experienced Ph.D. level registered psychologist, practicing in Calgary since 1987. I enjoy helping motivated individuals in therapy. I combine clinical training with personal authenticity and sensitivity to diversity and socialization influences on how we handle what we are facing. Effective therapy is collaborative and empowering, with therapist and clients working together to make positive changes towards the clients' goals. This may involve learning to self-soothe, anti-depressant behaviours, and homework between sessions. Good therapy builds on strengths.
