Therapists in Calgary, AB

Children experience the world differently. Adults can talk; children prefer to play. Play therapy allows freedom and growth. The play experience takes children's focus off negative self-talk and promotes positive self-awareness. Play therapy helps to explore emotions, work through challenges, and nurtures mastery and resilience. As a Registered Play Therapist with advanced training in play therapy, I can help you find a way to connect with your child. A fully equipped playroom with special toys allows children to fully express their feelings, and supports their growth and changes.

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.

Amidst the dynamic journey of parenthood, where each day unfolds with fresh trials and victories, I stand as your unwavering companion. Recognizing your aspiration for a harmonious and thriving family life, I am dedicated to providing you with the resources and assistance essential for enduring positive change. Engaging in family therapy can serve as a cornerstone for fostering a resilient and connected family unit. There exist countless measures parents can embrace to elevate their child's overall well-being. Perhaps you are also in pursuit of empowering your child with strategies to navigate the challenges that life presents.

My goal is to connect with you in a safe, nonjudgmental environment. I work collaboratively with my clients towards finding relief and life changing solutions, recognizing that people have power and strength within them. Whether it's problematic relationships, parenting support, stress, family dynamics, mental health issues or trauma that is impacting your life, I have seen over and over that change can happen. I offer a warm approach to therapy and welcome any struggle, small or large. Although I work with a variety of adult clients I am known for easily connecting with children and adolescents.

Parenting can be the most stressful role you will ever have and I am here to support you and your family to become stronger and overcome life's hurdles together. I am experienced in working with children, adolescents, and their families. I have comprehensive training in play therapy and I understand that building strong, supportive relationships will mean less time in therapy. Whether it is trauma, anxiety, depression, school refusal, anger issues, self-esteem issues, a learning or behavioral diagnosis, or many other presenting concerns, I can achieve results because children look forward to coming to their sessions.

Specialized child and adolescent therapy services. When your child is facing a challenging life event or is struggling with difficult emotions or behaviours, caregivers can feel overwhelmed and unsure. Maybe you feel judged, or even judge yourself. You want to find a skilled clinician who can respond effectively to your child's specific needs and help you rediscover your confidence as a caregiver. Unlike a generalist counsellor, my therapeutic services are tailored to the distinct developmental needs of children and teens. I blend expressive and evidence-based treatment approaches. Non-judgmental caregiver support is also offered.

I am Emily. I am a mental health therapist specializing in trauma, attachment, grief & loss, and child development. I provide individual and relationship focused psychological services with children, youth & adults. My clinical work with kiddos includes a fun and inviting space to promote creative expression, emotional awareness, self regulation/co-regulation, mindfulness, healing and growth. I enjoy working with caregivers in parent counselling to help strengthen responsive parenting approaches, along with integrating somatic psychotherapy practices focused on stress management and strengthening parent capacity and confidence.

Hello! My name is Navjoyt Mann but I go by Nav, and it's a pleasure to introduce myself to this wonderful community. Over the last decade, my professional journey has been devoted to working closely with children, where I've had the privilege of witnessing their growth and development. With a Masters in Counselling Psychology and my current role as a provisional psychologist, I'm deeply passionate about understanding the intricacies of the human mind and emotions. My experiences have been incredibly rewarding, and they've deepened my passion for understanding the complexities of human behaviour and the power of counselling.

It takes a lot of courage to reach out for support in processing our experiences, thoughts, and emotions, and I am honored by the opportunity to walk through this journey with you, reflecting and guiding as appropriate. I believe in a collaborative and strength-based approach based on client's values and goals. Working primarily with adults and teens, I use a variety of modalities including Accelerated Resolution Therapy to address issues such as trauma, addiction, depression, anxiety, and stress management. Using Gottman approaches I also support couples in their journey in the growth, and often healing, of their relationship.

Are you ready to make a change in your life? Taking the first step toward your wellness can feel overwhelming. Welcome. I help people who are feeling the effects of stress and trauma (from childhood or more recent events) and are interested in processing these experiences in a warm, supportive space. Memories can sometimes get stuck in our bodies and may result in mental, physical, and emotional stress. Together, we can work on identifying and processing these stressors, developing healthy ways of expressing and releasing emotions, and practice skills for lifelong change.

Are you craving a life you don't need a vacation from? We don't exist in isolation. Daily, we navigate relationships, careers, finances, parenting an anxious child or a struggling teen, aging, significant life transitions, celebrations, successes, and sometimes huge losses. You may have lost a job, partner, loved one, or the ability to function in ways you used to function so easily. You are used to recovering quickly or knowing how to best provide support, and yet find yourself at a loss, anxious, overwhelmed or discouraged. It's all part of being human. Though sometimes it feels like more than we can take.

Parenting is the most invested relationship one can partake in. There are many tasks and challenges involved in guiding little people towards becoming adults. Life can force families to face events that impact children's ability to feel safe and function successfully. This is when it becomes key to incorporate "it takes a whole community to raise a child", and I believe that people do the best they can with what they know. I have dedicated 23 years to helping children express their needs. And I can help increase your "knowing" so that we can enrich your child's relationships and increase their tolerance for the difficult stuff
