Online Counselling for Downtown - Calgary

I have been a registered psychologist for nearly 40 years. I have been part of the healing journeys for individuals of all ages (child to seniors), couples and families. I don't know if I have an ideal client other than someone who is open to sharing the story of their life and developing resiliency in some way. With children and youth, they have a special place given their vulnerability and yet wonderful creativity.

Living with chronic illness, disability, or neurodivergence is hard. Getting through the overwhelm of everyday life feels impossible. You're starting to feel like all you think about is your condition and everything it has taken away from you - work, hobbies, sleep, relationships. Your family and friends don’t get it. They try to help and probably mean well, but sometimes the dismissive way they say things makes you feel worse. You try to hide your symptoms to seem “normal” but inside, you feel like you might break.

The path to healing can be intimidating and searching for help may seem overwhelming. I intend to honour and support the strength and vulnerability shown by those seeking support. It’s essential for me to cultivate culturally sensitive spaces that ensure you feel respected and empowered in your journey. I am passionate about working with the BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) community, and I am LGBTQIA2S+ affirming. I also employ a collectivist healing approach to support some of my work to create a sense of community and togetherness.

We are an online counselling agency so do not provide services in person. Strength Counselling Services has licensed, experienced therapists who use evidence-based practices, prioritize client needs, and maintain ethical standards. We offer culturally sensitive, affordable services in a supportive environment. We offer a comprehensive goals assessment, regularly assess progress, and collaborate with other professionals. We provide transparency in our fees and for thirteen years now have held a positive reputation of trust, and client success. Lastly, ensuring our clients' privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance to us.

Are you tired of feeling like you're carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders alone? Do you find yourself smiling on the outside, while feeling like you're falling apart on the inside? Whether you're grappling with overwhelming emotions, facing challenges at the intersection of your identities, or carrying the weight of unresolved trauma and grief, taking the first step towards therapy can feel daunting. But it's in this vulnerability that real growth and healing can begin. Therapy can help you to understand yourself on a deeper level, learn new ways to cope, and feel more in control as you navigate life's ups and downs.

I have over 15 years experience working with relationships, stress, anxiety, low mood, and eating disorders of all kinds. The underlying patterns can take many forms, therefore the treatment approach may vary however evidence based CBT is the most effective treatment in these areas, especially when it is paired in combination with psychodynamic, relational and hypnosis approaches also as needed. Healing is probable, and happens as a result of conscious daily actions and unconscious dynamics that shift as a result of this process. I work with individuals who are ready and willing to change their thinking to heal for life

Welcome! Life is full of both joys and challenges, and I believe we all take turns needing support. As a naturally approachable, compassionate person, I'm able to connect with clients and put them at ease. I take a down to earth approach to therapy and genuinely care to learn about you and your concerns. Although I’m able to hold space for the heavier aspects of my work, we may also find ourselves sharing a laugh when appropriate. I aspire to provide a therapeutic space where you can show up as your authentic self, and begin taking manageable steps towards change.

Do you feel uncertain, unsure or confused about where to take your career next? Are you questioning what “success” looks like in the next stage of your career? Are you seeking to find greater fulfillment in work and life, and considering whether to make a career pivot that utilizes your talents and experience? Are you in a leadership role and struggling with the various challenges you face, such as uncertainty, stress, politics, or team dynamics? Do you seek to improve your wellbeing and find greater meaning in your career and life?

*Currently accepting new clients* As an experienced counsellor, I have the great privilege of helping others discover insight and clarity in their lives to take action towards greater health and wellbeing. It is human to struggle. We all have our ups and downs and being isolated in our emotional experience can just make it worse. I am here to offer a warm and supportive environment to explore your concerns and achieve improvement in psychological, physical, spiritual and relational well-being.

Do you struggle with the question, “Tell me about yourself”? Do you find that negative self-talk, self-criticism, or shame can show up under stress? Growing up in stressful or unsupportive environments can sometimes impact how we view ourselves, others and the world. No matter what your age, reclaiming yourself is possible. My name is Tayler, and I specialize in supporting adults in exploring and embracing their identities. I have noticed that negative self-talk, difficulties with self-image, identity crisis, and other concerns with self-esteem can be rooted in past pain or struggles from the past.

Christi creates a safe and nurturing environment where you can explore and navigate the challenges that life may bring.

I aim to help clients process and deal with their experiences, heal, make appropriate and meaningful changes for their future, and become the best versions of themselves through therapy. I am focused on providing therapy through an anti-oppressive, intersectional, culturally sensitive, and informed lens to all persons inclusive of BIPOC, minority, and immigrant communities.

I am Dr. Estay with 40+ years of experiencing serving individuals in the province of Alberta to reach their potential and find balance in their lives. I am fluent in English and Spanish and I have vast experience in Counseling and Rehabilitation Psychology. I am an active member of an international coalition of 120 professionals- Inner Health Coalition- with the intention of sharing experiences and best practices in creating wellness and balance in individuals.

Have you ever been told that you are being ‘too sensitive’, or ‘too much’? Do you feel overwhelmed when you try to express your emotions and end up feeling anxious about them instead? Perhaps you are struggling with negative beliefs about yourself or have overpowering emotions that have kept you suffering for a long time. What makes these concerns more difficult is feeling that close ones in your life may not understand or accept your struggles. Through striking a balance between acceptance and learning new ways to manage emotions, you will have the opportunity to live the life you value.

I bring a diverse background in education, working with both teenagers and adults. Helping people discover their inner strength and navigate life's challenges is not just my profession, but my passion. In my practice, I firmly believe that "story follows state." What this means is that our personal narratives are deeply intertwined with our emotional states. By understanding and reshaping our stories, we can transform our lives. I'm a strong advocate for co-regulation in the therapy space. Together, we'll create a safe and supportive environment where you can embark on the path of self-discovery and positive change.
