Couples Counselling Therapists in Southwest Calgary, Calgary, AB

I have a passion working with individuals, couples and families with children of all ages and stages. Every person has a need to feel heard, seen, and capable. Therapy can be a benefit when you feel previous coping methods may have become exhausted or no longer work the way they did. This is when a fresh lens can lead to a new perspective and inspired action. Mental health matters, and I invite you to make it a priority in your life and the lives of your loved ones.

Your concerns are unique to your own lived experiences and circumstances. I work to facilitate a greater understanding of the patterns in your life that contribute to feeling stuck. Many people desire to live "all in" in their lives, but fear, sadness and personal history stop them from doing so. In the therapeutic space I gently challenge individual adults and couples to learn to thrive in their relationships, develop stronger communication skills, break free of limiting patterns and live a life congruent with their values and dreams. I work hard to show up authentically and with warmth for every client.

As individuals, we each have a unique set of values that guide us. We may or may not be aware of what these values are, and they may shift over time and with experience. I believe that by understanding what is most important to us we have an opportunity to use this information to manage our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviour in a way that allows for peace of mind and authenticity, which in turn can lead to a meaningful life. Using our values to direct our choices and ground us in who we are can allow us to overcome challenges and put us on the path to becoming our best selves.

Life is a complex journey, and I’m here to help you navigate it. My approach is rooted in empathy and understanding. I believe that everyone has the capacity to heal, grow, and thrive. Whether you’re facing the challenges of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, or simply seeking personal development, I am here to offer support, strategies, and a safe space for exploration to uncover the strength and resilience you have within. Your mental health matters, and I’m here to walk this path with you.

Developing and maintaining relationships is important for living a fulfilling and meaningful life. However, relationships can also be difficult at times. Many of the people I support might be having heated arguments, unsure about their relationship, struggling with desire and intimacy, and have been hurt by a loss of trust. I also support loved ones who are looking to deepen their connection and get the most out of their lives with the people that matter most. In addition to supporting people with relationships, I have a focused interest in men's issues.

Finding support in the toughest times can be an overwhelming and confusing experience. Are you feeling stuck or weighed down after a significant loss? Are you struggling to move forward after a traumatic experience or difficult relationship? Feeling lost and unsure of what you want in life? You are not alone. I can help relieve the burden of trying to make it through these challenges alone. Together, we will explore the emotions, thoughts, actions and relational struggles that prevent you from being your true self. My goal is to empower you to face life challenges and cope with discomfort they bring.

My name is Aaron Telnes and I am the Owner and Registered Psychologist at Catalyst Psychology. I strive to help clients to both overcome their mental health challenges and achieve their mental health and life-related goals through a client centered, solution-focused, approach to therapy. Working with clients who might be struggling with Anxiety, Depression, Insomnia, Life Transitions, ADHD, and Relationship Issues, I work to ignite the change within and support clients to address their challenges, develop coping strategies, cultivate a positive mindset, achieve their goals, and live a happy and successful life.

I specialize in ADHD, trauma, anxiety (including phobias), life transitions, and various other concerns that teens, adults, and older adults may be struggling with. I know reaching out for help can be daunting. I am here to help you move from surviving to thriving. You may have struggles similar to others, but each individual is on their own journey. My goal is to help you reach your destination.

Any client is ideal, anyone who needs help is more than welcome to ask for it. I would listen to anyone, and then let them know if I have the expertise to help or not. That’s one main reason that my first session is always FREE. We not only talk about their issues and goals, but also about their strengths and capabilities. Life is not only about what’s going wrong, it’s good to see things that are going well. I work with individuals, couples and also families. Ask your insurance to see if they cover CCC counselling sessions. Call or text today to start your sessions as early as tomorrow. There’s no waitlist.

I have been a registered psychologist for 12 years. Finding a psychologist who is a good fit- someone who feels comfortable, safe and provides a relationship that feels naturally congruent, is the most important part of this highly personal journey. I have extensive experience and specialized training in working with couples and individuals and have various trainings and experience to lend to the below noted areas of specialization.

I am honoured and privileged to build and develop a therapeutic relationship with you, based on trust, safety, and connection. I believe this is essential for supporting you in your journey of healing, as you navigate the complexities of this world. I use a brain-based and relational approach to therapy. I realize that our brain patterns are shaped by our relationships, and they can cause us to experience shame. I am passionate about working with teens, young adults, adults, couples and families, and helping them transform into confident and successful people with effective life skills.

Do concerns about your past, future, or the fear of making mistakes hinder your ability to fully enjoy the present and build meaningful connections? I specialize in helping individuals navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, and relationship challenges.

Why do we make the choices that we do? Life provides unique experiences that affect people in different ways. These experiences contribute positively or negatively to our well-being and guide our life choices and impulses. It is important to honour the good things we have encountered but it is vital to address the challenges that we have faced, especially when they keep us stuck.

Have you noticed that your relationship is effected by stress, anxiety or even having children? Have you noticed that your communication with your partner is harder or even non-existent? Are you avoiding having difficult conversations? Do you struggle with a lack of intimacy or wonder if your partner really understands what you need in the relationship? Making it work and thriving as a couple is one of the most desired, but often most challenging goals. If you answered yes to any of the above questions, chances are you are looking to make it work or why else would you fight for the relationship.

I offer an anti-oppressive and intersectional approach to services. Let's approach your journey from all the different "yous;" all the different stories; and all of the parts. I’m committed to working within my areas of specialization, including anxiety, settlement, and race-based trauma/identity.

Being successful in overcoming depression, anxiety and other issues is no different from succeeding in other areas of life--following a proven method for success gets results. I will provide you with a plan to address your issue, help your learn the skills which are part of the plan, and give you regular assignments to do between sessions to implement the plan. As a competitive athlete, I have a record of overcoming difficult challenges on the way to success. I will help you use the skills I've used to persevere on the way to success in conquering your issue.

Ever felt swamped by anxiety, depression, or relationship troubles? Or overwhelmed by life's daily struggles? If you're nodding yes, know this - you're not alone. Our paths may differ, but the destination is the same - understanding, healthy coping, and a better life quality. You deserve to be heard, validated, and empowered for positive life changes. And that's precisely what I offer.
