Therapists in Calgary, AB

Hey there! My name is Jeremy and I'm glad you're looking into some mental health supports. Whether it is for yourself or for someone you know, looking into different therapy options can be overwhelming with all the options out there, so it can be helpful to have a general idea of what some of your counselling goals might be and go from there. Phone consultations are a great way to see if you might be a good fit with each other as well. I believe in everyone's ability to create changes for themselves and haven't met a client I haven't learned from yet!

I am a counselling intern with the Centre for Mental Health and Addictions offering unlimited individual, couples, and family counselling at zero cost! I work confidently with a variety of issues including (but not limited to) anxiety, depression, burnout, stress, couples, and family-related concerns. I aim to provide a safe and trusting environment for my clients to be supported in processing, navigating their issues, and working towards positive change.

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.

I am a Registered clinical Psychologist providing care to individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, developmental trauma disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, substance use disorder, borderline personality disorder, ADHD, and relationship and marital challenges; Dr. Dookie is here to support you in your healing journey. I am trained in cognitive behavioural therapy, Gottman couples therapy and educator; I am a certified ADHD professional. I have been trained in the following areas, CBT, motivational interviewing, dialectical behavioural therapy, solution focus therapy, and family therapy.

When you feel all hope is lost, there is STILL hope! Vincent van Gogh said, “There may be a great fire in our soul, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke.” I consider my job to hear and feel with you the great fire of your soul—your struggles, feelings of hopelessness and worry, feeling controlled by your emotions and past trauma, repeating patterns of conflict, battling addiction, or fighting an inner battle that others may not fully understand or appreciate.

Your needs are important, and I am here to help you feel supported and validated, whether you are seeking support for yourself, with your partner or as a family. You will always feel listened to in my counselling room. A counselling approach that uses emotion to change emotion is powerful and offers so much hope. It is effective with couples and individuals alike. Meeting your unique needs is what matters most, so I am flexible and incorporate a range of interventions that will help you reach your goals. Counselling is not "one size fits all"; it is a creative process of working together to help you feel in control of your life.

I help individual clients with ADHD, anxiety, and addiction concerns regain control over their lives. I also offer relationship help for individuals and couples. There is a capable and special person inside each and every one of us; don't let your symptoms stop you from being that person. My therapeutic orientations include Cognitive Behavioural, Psychodynamic, Existential, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and family therapy approaches as appropriate.

Stress both workplace and life, sexual addicitons, relationships including couple, marital, family, co-worker, Christian. The goal of MARTHA7 counselling is to help people be the best version of themselves.

I have worked with individuals, couples and families in a variety of settings. I am experienced in working with individuals of all ages who are battling with childhood traumas (sexual/physical abuse), and who struggle with a variety of mental health issues such as Tourettes, ADHD/ADD, Fetal Alcohol Effect, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Anxiety Disorder and OCD. I have over a decade of experience working with families in crisis, parent/teen conflict, relationship/marriage difficulties, custody/access conflict, addictions, survivors of sexual/physical abuse, depression, and anger management issues.

According to the American Psychological Association, “Psychologists help people of all ages live happier, healthier and more productive lives.” Through the use of various psychotherapy methods and collaborative treatment measures, my patients develop life-changing habits to help them cope with any of life’s various obstacles. My therapy sessions are designed to dissect personal issues and provide patients with effective tools to help them see the glass half full instead of half empty.

I offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space for clients to feel heard and understood. I offer a calm, warm, and empathetic space and have experience working with clients of varying ages, backgrounds, and concerns. I recognize and respect that every individual has their own unique identity, preferences, and belief systems, and I am sensitive to cultural, sexual orientation, gender, and religious differences.

My goal in therapy is to cultivate a space where you will feel genuinely heard and understood. I offer a comfortable space marked by empathy and acceptance, in which anyone is welcomed to voice issues and concerns. I enjoy working with youth, adolescents, couples, and families and bring a gentle and empathetic presence to each client session. I understand that you may desire to integrate spirituality into your therapy, and am willing to use my Christian faith, and other spiritual resources to guide you through difficulty and challenge.

Hi,...Are you looking to reconnect and find love in your relationships as a couple or in your family? What is your story?

Change can be difficult to manage without a skilled, compassionate guide. I enjoy helping people anticipate, plan for, and transition to their next life-stage in healthy ways.

Relationships in our lives present us with an infinite number of experiences that bring successes, challenges and everything in between. The stories that we live everyday contain relationships that form the foundation of our mental and physical well-being. There are times when we want the current stories in our life to continue and at other times we hope and need for something to change so that we can live the life we desire as an individual and in relation to others. Regardless of the challenges you are experiencing there is a way to find a path forward towards a desired story that will bring fulfillment and joy in your life.
