Therapists in Calgary, AB

I aim to be an unusual therapist. I harness imagination, energy, enthusiasm, poetry, and humour in my effort to understand your story and elevate your voice. Whether you are considering the past, the present, or the future, I believe that therapeutic conversations can expand the options, responses, and actions we have available to us to heal ourselves heart, mind, and spirit. It is a privilege to come alongside you and join you in this journey. I practice the art of paying attention, which means what you say to me and who you are-is extremely important. I will work hard during our time together to listen, to understand, and to help.

As a fellow immigrant with a Bachelor's in Sociology and a Master's in Counselling Psychology, I bring over 13 years of experience in human resources and career advising specifically tailored for immigrants. I deeply understand the unique struggles you face—from the complexities of adjusting to a new culture to the pressures of re-establishing your career while supporting your family. Immigrants endure a distinctive blend of stressors that encompass not only professional aspirations but also the very essence of personal and social life.

Hello! It’s so great to see you. I’m Adrienne (she/her). I have a keen interest in working with individuals and couples, from teens to adults, and from all walks of life, who may be struggling with identity, trauma, life transitions, family/relationship issues, neurodivergence, and general issues related to mental health and well-being. My goal is to help empower you to live a full and meaningful life, and to find out what that means for you.

I collaborate with clients to help them pursue healing, growth, and change in their lives. I support clients as they work through trauma due to present and past events, and to form meaning and purpose moving forward. I combine EMDR, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and play therapy, depending on clients' needs. I offer family mediation for those experiencing separation or divorce, to improve communication and build a path forward. I work with individuals, couples, and children. My hope is that clients achieve personal goals, connectedness, resolution, and the ability to face life head on.

Hello and welcome. Are you looking to make lasting changes in your life? Are you seeking more balance and deeper connections with others? If so, therapy can be a great way to help you identify what is both causing and maintaining various problems in your life and ways of overcoming them. If you are navigating issues of anxiety, depression, relationship issues, family conflict, attachment difficulties, or other life challenges, you have come to the right place. I specialize in life transitions including birth and death, family and relationship conflict, including alternative relationships (i.e. non-monogamy), and attachment issues.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS - My passion for psychology comes from my genuine belief that we have the ability to not only overcome significant challenges, but to transform our lives. As a Registered Psychologist, I work with a wide range of topics including relationship challenges (i.e. intimacy, communication, infidelity, separation/divorce, blended family, etc.), trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, grief and loss, and wellness. As an AASECT certified Sex Therapist, I am highly trained in working with sexual(ity) concerns, alternative relationship structures (i.e. open relationship, Poly, Kink), and LGBTQ2S+ challenges.

I am a down-to-earth therapist whose main orientation is to help clients have more of the lives they want. No matter what the specific issues are - anxiety, depression, eating issues, relationships, family stress, work issues, mental health concerns, and so on - I endeavour to help my clients feel, think, and behave in ways that fit better for them and are ultimately more productive. In the safe space of counselling clients are able to explore themselves, their patterns, and life-obstacles in order to connect to their greater sense of purpose, wholeness, and groundedness.

I work with individuals & couples with a variety of issues including addictions, trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship wellness, anger management, life stress, self-harm, infertility, unresolved trauma, grief, and sexual identity. I value a collaborative approach whether offering support or working to look at the thoughts, feelings, and behaviour that are keeping you stuck in unhealthy or unsatisfying patterns. My goal is to help you recognize your strengths and potential, increase positive life experiences, and build capacity to cope with life's struggles. LGBTQIA+ affirming.

I am a certified psychotherapist and counsellor (CCC) and I specialize in individual and couples counselling. I also offer supervision to therapists. I deeply enjoy working with adults and teens and I have more than 12 years experience in the field. I specialize in crisis interventions, couples counselling, family wellness, teens in crisis, and parenting in multicultural organizations. I use inner child work - a transformative approach which helps one identify root causes and gain deep understanding and compassion for oneself. I am deeply touched to have witnessed profound shifts in people's lives and in their relationships.

We can make change in our lives by understanding why we feel the way we do and by being in tune with who we are. Once we get to know ourselves better, we have the power to grow and overcome barriers. Whether you are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression or anger, or if you are encountering family challenges, relationship problems, or addictions, I can help you make the change you are looking for in a safe, open and nurturing environment.

Greetings and thank you for visiting my profile :) I'm a Registered Psychologist with over 10 years experience, operating a private practice focusing on adults. My specialties include: birth and reproductive trauma, restoring dignity and fostering recovering from adverse and traumatic events, anxiety and depression, life transitions including parenthood and relationship endings, and grief and loss. Many of my clients come to me saying they feel stuck and can't move towards the life they are longing for.

Motherhood can be complex, messy, and overwhelming. It leaves so many women feeling exhausted, burnt out, alone. We feel the pressure of societal expectations in everything we do, causing us to lose our sense of self. We try to make everything perfect, causing our inner critic to kicks in. As a result of all of these pressures, women feel stressed, overwhelmed, and not good enough. Worst of all, we can feel utterly alone in our experiences. As a mom of two who has walked the path of burnout, exhaustion, and despair in motherhood: I want you to know it doesn’t have to be this way.

If you identify as a neurodivergent, chronically ill, BIPOC &/or immigrant woman, queer or trans person, then you may be struggling to feel a sense of belonging & acceptance in a world & system that wasn’t built for you & doesn’t capture the unique intersections of your identity & lived experiences. I believe in your inherent capacity to heal, grow, discover who you are, connect deeply with others, and lead a fulfilling life. If you’re committed to self-discovery & healing as part of your ongoing personal growth & professional development, let's work together to put the pieces of your life, work & relationships back into balance.

Facing sexual difficulties? Struggling with communication in your relationship, low desire, or genital pain? Unsure about discussing kinks/fetishes or opening up your relationship?

Empowering your sexuality and advocating for your sexual health and intimacy is what I strive for most! I hope to provide you with an opportunity to reclaim your sexuality in a safe, supportive, non-judgmental atmosphere where you're validated, empathized with and understood.

Hello! I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) who is passionate about supporting clients to navigate challenging life events or mental health concerns. I am also focused on reducing negative stigma of mental health. I have worked in various roles in the social services sector for ten years before beginning my career as a clinical counsellor, including immigration, disability support, outreach counselling, cultural safety, social work and case management. This professional experience combined with lived experience allows me to practice from trauma-informed, intersectional and anti oppressive frameworks.

I am a Registered Psychologist and have worked in the counselling field since 2009. I work with individual adults and specialize in treating trauma, depression and anxiety (including prenatal/postnatal experiences). All of my experience has led me to understand that no matter what issues people are facing, in order to truly heal, individuals need a respectful, understanding, and non-judgmental listener that is grounded and balanced in their own right. This is what I offer clients in addition to my extensive education and training.

*NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS AT EMMAUS PSYCHOLOGY* I am a Registered Psychologist specializing in individual therapy, couples counselling, and parent support.

The process of fertility, loss, pregnancy and postpartum can be isolating. Those times also bring considerable physical, mental, and personal relationship changes, impacting every part of life. Navigating relationships, self-esteem, stress, burnout, depression, anxiety, and trauma is not unique to new parenthood. I also have a focus on young adults and professionals in the medical field, who frequently face intense and exhausting challenges
