Therapists in Southeast Calgary, Calgary, AB

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 am a counsellor and professional art therapist and the founder of Nurture Nest Art Therapy and Education. We have a team of professionals to support your journey - whether you are an adult, child or family to psychological wellness. I have knowledge and educational experience working with children and families particularly with adhd, autism, social anxiety, navigating relationships, parenting and neurodiversity. I provide a caring, non-judgmental and person-centered approach to understanding, processing, and recovering from life challenges. I am currently also completing training to become a provisional psychologist in Alberta.

Are you feeling more and more resentful, conflicted, and stressed with your child, partner, or family? Do you feel "gridlocked" in a cycle of anxiety, emotions, and guilt at home? I am a registered psychologist with over tens years of clinical experience specializing in these types of issues. My ideal clients are seeking a therapist who is collaborative, genuine, and nonjudgmental. My goal is to help you move towards creating a rich, full, and meaningful life. Together we will commit to developing a safe relationship where you can learn the skills you need to face and overcome difficult challenges, experiences, and emotions.

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.

We practice using a cutting edge model of therapy designed to re-pattern the disorganization in the lower brain centers, which helps get to the heart of the healing process for clients. Life presents us with many challenges and we believe we all deserve to have someone in our corner. I truly believe in the importance of working collaboratively.

We can begin by discovering what matters most to you. Even in profound loss, or trauma, it is possible to come to a place of growth and change. Meaningful change can emerge in relation to how we feel toward ourselves, our physical being, and in our interactions with others. The journey starts with creative discovery and self-compassion.

Hi, I'm Sylvia and I'm so glad you're here! I believe at some point or another, we’ve all experienced something that has changed our life. That’s why it’s important within my practice to develop a space where you feel safe and supported. I want to create a strong therapeutic alliance, one where you have a voice and a place to be your true, authentic self. Everyone has the capacity to be resilient and I want our sessions to foster this inner strength. Our time together is ultimately your time.

Has anxiety and depression become amplified for you with issues from the past resurfacing? Maybe you have been to counselling before but would like to try a more holistic approach; one that will teach you the tools needed to overcome feelings of sadness, dread and uncertainty? Often times, experiences buried from childhood and the past resurface as adults which can greatly affect the way we feel and our sense of purpose in the world. It isn’t until things get so uncomfortable, that we feel the only option available is to make a change. This isn’t always easy but reaching out for support, is the first and most important step.

With several different therapies and techniques in my toolbox, and a comfortable, secure office environment, my goal is to tailor my approach to your needs. My therapy style most often has a staged approach (a beginning, middle and an end). I rely on your feedback and measure our progress, to make sure there’s improvement and we're making the most of your time. I ensure clients leave my office feeling better and more resourced than when they first arrived. I work well with clients who are experiencing burnout, increased stress and anxiety responses, depressive symptoms, grief and loss, trauma, work challenges and life change.

Counselling can help you create a better life.

Taking that first step in seeking support for your child isn't easy. I'm here to provide a safe, welcoming, and confidential space for healing to begin. As a Certified Play Therapist and a Clinical Counsellor, my passion lies in working with children and supporting their natural capacity for healing.

Painful and terrifying experiences that we experience in childhood as well as in adulthood, can have lasting negative effects on our lives. These experiences often leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, isolated and having difficulties managing strong emotions such as anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, shame and guilt. Taking the first step towards addressing these challenges can be anxiety provoking; my role is to join you on this journey towards healing.

I really love to laugh and have fun; I believe that laughing until your belly hurts can be the best antidote to almost anything, especially hard things and my experience over the last 20 years has shown me that this is true. I am proud of the work that I do and proud that clients tell me I am unlike other therapists; they describe me as a real person that cares a lot about the people I work with. I've provided therapy with a range of difficulties and at all stages of life. My goal is to take the time to help you to resolve whatever difficulties you are struggling with so that you can get on with the rest of your life.
