Family Therapy in T2T

If you are feeling overwhelmed with a problem or concern that you are not able to cope with on your own, there’s help and support available. I’m here to help you find healthy ways to cope and improve your life

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.

I have 10+ years working with clients experiencing anxiety, mood disorders, school refusal, friendship concerns, navigating family relationships, suicidal ideation/self-harm, and sexual/gender identity. I have worked with adult and youth clients with these concerns, along with relationships, infidelity, and parenting. My practice also includes working with couples, polycules, and consensual non-monogamy. I feel we all have a huge capacity for resilience and learning and enjoy co-creating successful therapeutic relationships which are trauma-informed and recognize client's lived experiences.

I am a clinical psychologist in Calgary, and provide individual, family, as well as group therapy. I also provide comprehensive psychological assessment services, as well as consultation to parents, schools, health care providers, and other professionals. My experience includes previous and current employment in the health care and educational sectors, including hospital and community settings. I typically practice from a cognitive-behavioural therapy model, and use a brief, solution focused approach to therapy. My work with couples and families tends to be more emotionally focused, attachment based, and I use a family systems approach.

Are you a parent? Does your child/youth struggle with anxiety, managing big feelings, managing their busy bodies? Do you feel like they are closing off? Do you feel like there is a meltdown every other day? Have the effects of COVID-19 taken a toll on your family? You may find yourself wondering how best to support your kid when half the time you don’t even know what’s going on. You are not alone. Many parents feel at a loss with their kids from time to time. And I don’t blame you! There’s no instruction manual to parenting. Counselling provides a safe space for kids to explore, express, and understand.

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.

My name is Arevik (Air-ah-vick) and I would like to help you find a clear path to the complex journey that you are currently on. Sometimes our lives can become foggy with life transitions, extra responsibilities, social and familial pressures... At times it can simply feel too much. We may start feeling overwhelmed, lost, and unmotivated about our next steps. Working harder does not seem to do the trick and soon, we end up burning out and feeling hopeless. I am here to guide you towards a more manageable path, one that feels more inviting.

At some point in our lives we find ourselves feeling overwhelmed with a problem and unable to find a way out. Reaching out for support can provide an opportunity to learn alternative, healthier ways to cope and discover one's true self. My training in Marriage and Family Therapy and my diverse clinical experience, have allowed me to assist clients to discover and break their existing patterns that are keeping them stuck. Therefore, allowing them to develop insight, awareness, and a new outlook on the challenges they are facing, enabling them to lead more fulfilled lives and build stronger relationships.

The bulk of my experience is working with young people, families, and adults dealing with addiction, trauma, mental health concerns, and family relationship issues. I have also extensive experience working with parents / guardians coping with the stress caused by behavioural issues at home.

Are you or someone in your family struggling with anxiety, fragile self-esteem or low mood? Does it seem like it started off small but feels like it is escalating and you are unsure of how to help them or yourself? Growing up can be hard. Many children and teens today face increased anxiety, social challenges, learning difficulties, depression, loss or family challenges like divorce or illness of a parent or loved one. In adulthood, the challenges may look different, but age does not shield us from the challenges caused by career pressures, overwhelm or blows to our confidence.

Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming and sometimes it takes meeting more than one person before settling on the right person for you. Working with a therapist, whether for a brief encounter or a long collaboration, is a journey. My goal is to ensure that your very first contact with me is a positive and helpful one. I have advanced training and expertise in working with toddlers, children and adolescents as a registered play therapist. Working from a developmentally-informed perspective I collaborate with parents so they can better understand and best support their children.

Stressed? Stuck? Anxious? Angry? Depressed? Conflicted? Whatever your situation, lean in to calm and caring counselling geared toward personal growth and change.

My mission: To inspire you to become your best YOU.

I work with individuals, couples and families who are struggling with everyday coping, relational issues, parenting concerns, psychological wellness and relationship functioning.

I work with people to move towards change-oriented solutions by reducing distress, improve coping and mental health skills and understanding relational patterns. I support & offer a safe space for diversity, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC communities.

In life, we can find ourselves challenged in ways we did not expect or anticipate. Life can become difficult and overwhelming to manage at times. In such moments, it can be helpful to seek support from someone who might help unearth possibilities and support you in finding healthier and adaptive ways to manage and cope. It is my belief that developing a strong, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone to therapeutic success. Through mutual respect, genuine empathy, and trust, individuals can be seen and heard, and encouraged to create the changes they want in their lives.
