Therapists in Southeast Calgary, Calgary, AB

For the past 14 years, I have worked and trained in a variety of settings, including children's mental health facilities, schools, hospitals, and private practice. I have enjoyed the rewarding challenges of treating children, adolescents and adults who are struggling with ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, gender identity issues, personality disorders, substance abuse issues, anger management issues, low self-esteem, and social skills deficits.

People go to therapy for many reasons, and all of them are equally valid. Whatever your reason is, I am so glad that you are here. You may be considering therapy right now because you are feeling stuck - stuck in difficult thoughts, feelings, emotions, behaviours, relationships, and/or situations. Or, you may be mostly doing fine and want to develop self-awareness and understanding to become the best version of yourself and to live your life to the fullest.

Hi my name is Priscilla and I am the owner of Let’s Talk Counseling Service. I am a registered clinical social worker who has worked in areas such as domestic violence, mental health and family therapy. I bring an integrated approach to helping clients work through their issues and find a sense of balance for their lives. There are so many challenges that we face on a daily basis sometimes a listening ear or a different perspective can bring comfort and insight. I invite you to come, Let's Talk!

I believe we all have the capacity to heal and learn how to live a life worth living, despite challenging and painful experiences in our lives. I believe the coping strategies we develop can start creating problems if we don’t address the underlying cause. Therapy is a safe space to explore, identify, address and resolve these issues, often creating transformational growth. With over 30 years’ experience working with, and treating clients with a variety of mental health, addictions and trauma related issues, I have delivered therapy through individual and group work, and I am passionate about both approaches.

You're here! This step is often the hardest part! Life can be hard... I get it! The stuff that makes life tricky shapes how we see ourselves, how we see others, and how we make sense of the world. Life experiences form our core beliefs that often get in the way of living the life you desire. As an attachment-based therapist, I work hard to create a safe space where you can confront the tough stuff and begin to rewrite your story. I show up with compassion, acceptance, and humour, to dig into what is getting in the way of you living your truth.

I have over 15 years working with children, youth, and parents. My practice includes a collaborative and holistic approach to address issues of anxiety, depression, ADHD, behvaiour concerns, emotional regulation, and attachment. I use a variety of therapy techniques to best fit each client/family.

Imagine what it would feel like to live a life free from the pressures of stress, a life you choose for yourself. A life that makes you happy, focused on what really matters to you, and what you want to achieve.

We all carry multiple stories about our selves, our lives, and our experiences. There are parts in our stories that are sometimes hidden from our awareness. It is in the calm noticing, re-discovery, and re-telling of our stories that we can find and connect with parts of ourselves that may need healing, and also parts of ourselves that are insightful, strong, and brilliant even in the midst of hardship and darkness. Through facilitating, witnessing, and holding space together, we can engage in our personal work of healing. I look forward to connecting with you.

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.

I am passionate and skilled in working with clients who have experiences of trauma, PTSD, family conflict, marital conflict, parent-child issues, emotional or behavioural disturbances, depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I enjoy working with clients who are interested in making long-lasting changes and improvements to their life.

Heightened symptoms of anxiety can cause difficulty with concentration, confusion, irritability and frustration. Are you are overthinking, worrying, and having trouble making sense of your emotions?
