Buddhist Therapists in Rocky Mountain House, AB

Hello! My name is Madelaine, and I have been working in mental health for 8 years in the areas of domestic abuse, child welfare, Indigenous services, 2SLGBTQI+ identities, gender and sexuality, education, and healthcare. I also work with couples, poly/ENM dynamics and with those living with a disability or chronic illness.

We can begin by discovering what matters most to you. Even in profound loss, or trauma, it is possible to come to a place of growth and change. Meaningful change can emerge in relation to how we feel toward ourselves, our physical being, and in our interactions with others. The journey starts with creative discovery and self-compassion.

Shelley Ugyan, RRC, is an acclaimed author, speaker and has over 15 years experience in mental and holistic health. Her evidence based tools including Cognitive Behavioural reconditioning as well as psychodynamic, relational and hypnosis approaches set you on a path to direct healing, starting immediately after the first 90 minute session. Her approach is genuine, empowering and powerful. Healing is probable, and happens as a result of conscious daily actions and unconscious dynamics that shift as a result of this process. Shelley loves to work with individuals who are ready and willing to change their thinking to heal for life.

I am a dedicated and experienced Canadian Certified Counsellor with a profound commitment to helping individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional well-being.

Welcome! We might work well together if you're seeking a therapist who is gentle, direct, and engaged in session. I enjoy helping people improve their relationships with themselves, other people, and the challenging parts of life – things like trauma, anxiety, stress, communication, depression, and grief. I believe everyone deserves a supportive space to be heard and to heal no matter how they live or identify. And I love learning! I grow alongside every client I see.

Good psychologists devote ample time to listening to and helping their clients. No one should have to feel like they are making an elevator pitch when they see their therapist. I offer longer sessions which allow for deeper discussions and help that is personalized to your lived experience, strengths, and culture. My approach is calming, caring, insightful, and creative, and I'm also trained to discuss topics that some psychologists don't have the comfort or cultural knowledge to address. Together, let's start building a way forward free from struggle with negative emotions and towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life!

My name is Amanda and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology and Bachelor Degrees in Education, Arts, and Graphic Design. I have a passion for public speaking and program development in regards to mental health and enjoy presenting at schools and a variety of workplaces. I offer individual and group sessions for children, youth, and young adults on a range of presenting concerns. I also provide family and parent/guardian support sessions all within a private practice setting.

Life is not without its challenges. Especially during a pandemic, day-to-day life can be even more overwhelming. The good news is that I am here to help. Whether you are experiencing low mood, anxiety, relationship problems, or trauma, my goal is to assist you in working towards the future you desire. I believe all individuals have the capacity to grow from their current circumstances. My priority is ensuring that my clients feel safe, valued, and heard, while also providing exceptional clinical support. I strive to create an atmosphere that is welcoming for all individuals from diverse backgrounds, and I am LGBTQ+ affirming.

I provide a safe and welcoming environment in which to support you along your healing journey. A strong therapeutic relationship is essential, and you can expect a compassionate and genuine therapist who is dedicated to helping you grow to your fullest potential. I believe that you are the best expert on your life and that effective therapy involves a process of skill building and learning to trust your intrinsic wisdom. Therapeutic success to me is when you can use the wisdom from both your mind and body in order to make choices that are congruent with your values.

I understand that seeking therapy can be a challenging step, especially when you've felt unable to be your authentic self. If you find yourself at a point where the weight of life's challenges feels overwhelming, or if you're navigating the complexities of identity, changes in life, relationships, or expectations, I am here to support you. My goal is to facilitate your journey of self-discovery and to empower you with insight into what brings you here.

You’re exhausted, trying to balance multiple responsibilities – work, relationship, family, social connections – and feeling like you're running on auto pilot. You have a mind that rarely quiets, overcome with planning, worrying, insecure thoughts, or fear of letting others down. On the outside, you’re managing fine, but behind the mask that you put on for others, you’re struggling. Relaxing and feeling at peace seems wildly out of reach. Alternatively, you may be feeling disconnected or fighting more in your relationship, the busyness of life has taken over and you two haven't been making each other a priority.

I see adult and adolescent clients from all sorts of different backgrounds, and who present with a variety of psychological concerns. However, I feel I’m especially well-suited to working with folks who are undergoing significant life change (e.g., job insecurity, divorce, bereavement, diagnosis, etc.), and who are experiencing anger, anxiety, or depression while traversing the flux. I’m also a keen advocate of mental wellbeing within a number of specific communities, including: veterans and first responders, men (cis and trans), LGBTQ+ folks, expatriates/immigrants, entrepreneurs, and people practicing consensual non-monogamy.

I work with children ages 3 and up, teens, and adults for individual therapy specializing in play therapy techniques, sand tray, and animal assisted therapy. Areas include: Anxiety, ADHD, Attachment/Early Childhood Trauma, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Behavioural Concerns, Cognitive Disabilities, Depression, Developmental Delays, Divorce/ Separation, Emotional Regulation, Family Conflict / Violence, Grief and Loss, Infertility, Life Transitions, Parenting Support, Self-esteem/Self-Compassion, Suicidal Ideation, and Trauma. I also offer psychoeducational and ADHD assessments for children ages 4-17.

I am passionate about working with adult individuals who struggle with PTSD and trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, co-dependency, stress management, and relationship issues. Generally, my clients are functioning quite well in their day-to-day lives, but negative thought patterns and behaviours (which may have served them in the past, but no longer are) tend to get in the way of their ability to cope with work, relationships, etc.

I help people who are living with a sense of loneliness, a sense of abandonment, of feeling unloved, unworthy, ashamed, or disconnected. If words like worthless, depressed, anxious or alone describe your present state, I would like to help you. For the time being, I am offering online counselling from the comfort of your home.

Do strong emotions and memories impact how you live? Unresolved trauma and chronic stress can create negative thoughts and feelings and negatively impact our overall well-being. We may experience anxiety/depression, addiction, chronic stress, etc. Coping mechanisms may become ineffective or even harmful over time. Are you new to therapy - or have been to therapy before - call to discuss how trauma therapy may help.
