Therapists in Calgary, AB

Welcome and thank you for taking that brave first step toward healing and inner peace. It's not easy, and I admire your courage. My name is Samina, and I specialize in nurturing young minds and supporting families through challenging times. My therapeutic journey is guided by warmth, compassion, and an unwavering focus on the unique experiences of each individual. In my practice, I've had the privilege of working closely with children facing a variety of struggles, from academic pressures and parental separation to childhood trauma and the complexities of adoption.

I want to help you tap into your innate capacity to heal - help you become open to experience, learn to trust yourself, develop an internal evaluation of yourself and have a willingness to continue growing. In private practice, I provide individual, family, marital/relationship, and group counselling. I treat people across the lifespan including children, adolescents (e.g. navigating identity), adults (e.g. working through relationships, parenting, and career issues), and the elderly (grief and life transitions).

Hello!

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, or have been through trauma, you might be feeling frustrated, hopeless, or overwhelmed trying to figure out how to address these difficulties. Or maybe you are in a relationship and are finding it difficult to communicate, resolve conflict, or connect with your partner and you've tried everything you can think of. In my practice, I can support you in identifying any patterns/behaviours that may keep you or your partner stuck and help you learn tools and strategies to work towards improving your mental health, well-being, and your relationship.

I started my practice to create a space that is healing, safe, and accepting to help you become more resilient, empowered, and content. Life is often difficult, confusing, and disappointing, but you are much more than your bad days, bad months or bad years. I believe that healing comes from recognizing your true self, living authentically, and balancing acceptance and change. With consistency and commitment, it is possible to break out of patterns that no longer serve a purpose. I offer a judgment-free space where I aim to support you in living the life you want, with peace and conviction. Your goals for yourself are within reach.

Accepting new clients virtually. Are you a high-achiever who's feeling stuck dealing with big emotions? Perhaps you're finding yourself angrier than usual, yelling at loved ones, or disconnecting and numbing. Perhaps you're drowning your sorrows in alcohol, weed, over-eating, mindless scrolling, or maybe even overworking. Do you feel that no matter how hard you work, you just don't feel good enough? There's a part of you that knows you are capable. But this gnawing inner voice doesn't let you believe that you are ‘enough.’
