Female Therapists in Southeast Calgary, Calgary, AB

Currently Accepting New Clients. Hi! I'm Kathryn and I'm a clinical psychologist registered in Alberta and New Zealand. My practice is focused on creating and maintaining an atmosphere of trust, acceptance, sincerity, openness and safety. I am committed to fostering an environment that affirms the dignity, worth and strength of all people, and where all attitudes, beliefs, values, and behaviours can be freely explored.

I offer solution-focused therapy, bridging the gap between where clients are at and where they want to be. I focus on providing counselling for those experiencing depression, anxiety, and ADHD; prolonged exposure for those experiencing PTSD; and coping skills and strategies for those experiencing long-covid and post-concussion symptoms such as “brain fog”, limited energy, difficulty with problem solving, decision-making and memory. I’m also passionate about guiding individuals through life transitions such as moving out, starting school or a new job, and moving into retirement.

I believe that people seek out therapy when they have used all of their personal resources to confront a challenge. Sometimes that challenge is internal, such as depression or anxiety; sometimes it is external, such as life transitions or financial strain; sometimes it is interpersonal, such as couple or family problems. Each person has a different skill set that they have used in their life and therapy is useful when they want to add to that toolbox. It can also help to build reserves before a stressor occurs, such as when couples are deciding to move in together, or before an employee enters a stressful period at work.

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 an assessment psychologist with over 20 years of combined experience working with struggling students and their families as a teacher, a learning strategist, a guidance counsellor, a community educator, an advocate, and a school psychologist. I am incredibly passionate about helping kids experience success through the assessment process. I am equally passionate about helping parents and teachers learn new ways to support their students. Over the last 20 years, I have become an expert in ADHD and Learning Disabilities (particularly Dyslexia).

Sometimes we feel stuck. Fear and self-doubt can often keep us paralyzed in place because we don’t know where to start making change happen. And sometimes we’re petrified of making the wrong decision! Our past experiences can often create habits, patterns and limiting beliefs, ones that can often 'run the show' and affect the 'here and now' presenting dilemmas in our life that hold us back from feeling alive and thriving.

Are you feeling trapped by memories and/or patterns from your past that make everyday life a struggle? In my practice, we create a welcoming environment where you can face these challenges with confidence. I combine empathy with clear guidance, helping you untangle and manage complex feelings that arise from difficult life events. Our collaboration aims to elevate your self-esteem, improve your relationships, and enhance your decision-making abilities. If you're seeking a therapist who champions significant healing and personal advancement, let’s connect and make meaningful changes together.

When people ask me about my "model of therapy," I usually say that I focus on two things: Brains and Relationships :) This method is founded on my belief that brains develop and create unique patterns of behaviour, and relationships influence functioning. I want to understand what may be happening in someone's brain when they are experiencing adverse symptoms. More specifically, what unhealthy patterns in the brain are causing this distress - then within the therapeutic relationship - work to shift this pattern, restructure the brain, and create healthier coping mechanisms.

We are a team that is client-centred and dedicated to providing genuine and compassionate counselling that is tailored to our clients’ goals. We support clients experiencing a variety of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, grief, loss, PTSD, CPTSD, addictions, substance abuse, and recovery from overwhelming, challenging or traumatic events holding them back. We appreciate that negative experiences can be held in the body and may present psychologically, physically, emotionally, cognitively, through nervous system dysregulation, and ongoing patterns, behaviour and decisions that they may wish to change.

I am a Ph.D. trained clinical psychologist in private practice, conveniently located in south Calgary, Alberta. I am committed to fostering a strong, respectful and collaborative therapeutic relationship with my clients, which I believe is integral to achieving success in therapy. I work with clients to identify goals and tailor a treatment plan around altering unhelpful thoughts, maladaptive behaviour patterns, and difficult emotions, to enhance overall wellness and promote a positive quality of life. In my practice, I work with adults of all ages.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS * “ I can’t seem to shut my brain off”, “Why do I feel so anxious all the time?”, “ I actually don’t feel anything, I’m numb”. If any of these statements resonate with you and you want to explore them further I might be of help! I am a people person that truly believes in the power of human connection and therefore place a great importance on the right fit between a therapist and a client. My work is very much based on a collaborative approach because “You” know “You” the best. It’s important to me that you will feel comfortable and safe to explore and address any issues you are struggling with.

Seeking Therapy is a very personal choice that takes a great deal of courage and strength. If you are feeing sad, anxious, or overwhelmed, and want to talk about some of the challenges you are facing, I can help. I am a registered social worker with over 20 years experience as a therapist. I work with teens, young adults, adults, and parents who are struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, managing stress, building self-confidence, communication and relationships issues. If you or someone you love are looking for a safe place to talk through difficult emotions, situations, or experiences, I'm here to help.

We all need support with managing the struggles and challenges of life. Having an empathic, respectful, safe client-therapist relationship is the key to therapeutic success. I believe that clients bring their own wisdom, expertise, and insight to the therapeutic process, and view counselling as a collaboration. Using a variety of clinical approaches, I support clients in reaching their goals by building on their strengths and resiliency, teaching practical skills and strategies, increasing self-awareness and understanding, and improving overall coping and wellness.

You are an intelligent, sophisticated, and open-minded individual who is an expert on who you are. You recognize the need to talk to someone and share your troubles, thoughts, and feelings with them. You may be searching for acceptance, understanding, or the undivided attention that both listening and therapy provides. You may need the reassurance that what you have to share is going to be heard and received without judgment. Whether you are feeling anxious, depressed, angry, stressed, grief, frustrated, or just need to hear another perspective, the assurance that you are not alone in your thoughts, can help ease the anguish.

Life can often resemble a complex puzzle, with both challenging and stable moments. At times, it may feel like we're tackling this puzzle all alone.

My role is to guide you in unlocking that inner potential by shedding light on your thoughts and emotions. This is the first step toward creating a more harmonious and fulfilling life.

I work with individuals dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, perfectionism, relationship issues, maternal mental health, and body dysmorphia. I approach therapy from trauma-informed and attachment perspectives. This means that current beliefs, emotions, and relationships are influenced by the experiences of our past. I utilize psychodynamic, emotion-focused, internal family systems, mindfulness, and Gottman therapy interventions in my work.
