Online Counselling for Calgary

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.

Reaching out for therapy is courageous. Showing up is enough! I can additionally offer empathy, non-judgmental compassionate care, recommendations, resources and skills to enhance your therapeutic journey. I will assist you in exploring challenges creatively through processing unresolved trauma, learning how to trust yourself, discovering your inner resources, understanding and meeting your needs, and in setting boundaries that align with your needs, goals, and values. My hope above all, is to meet you where you are at, in the pace that works for you, so you feel safe, understood and heard.

Compassion, non-judgement, empathy, and clarity are what you can look forward to when working with Kristin.

Hey, I’m Arin! I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a dual Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology and Art Therapy. This means I am trained to work with traditional talk therapy in combination with creative arts-based interventions. My approach is casual and authentic, and I find deep meaning in the work I do with my clients. I mostly work with somatic, arts-based and feminist philosophies in order to help you integrate and rediscover personal strength in the face of adversity.

The heart of my practice is believing that the client is the expert of themselves. I believe that everyone has the answers within themselves and that my role, along with creative expression, is to help you find those answers. Combining counselling and creative expression is a way for clients to develop a better understanding of their inner self as well as address underlying conflicts.

I do not work with police officers, security guards, peace officers, or prison employees. We might be a good therapeutic fit if you are at the onset of considering a life event in a new light; if you're trying to navigate systems of oppression with grace for yourself; if you're looking for support in finding a sweet spot between codependence and individualism in your relationships; or if you're just looking to be kept company in the hard parts of being a person.

Life can feel complicated, messy and often doesn't go as planned. I will hold space for you to examine and explore your experience, while also providing support, insight, and tools to help you reconnect to yourself and move through whatever challenges you may be facing. I work with individuals who have experienced or are experiencing the following: Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Sexualized Violence & Abuse, Women’s Health (Endometriosis, PCOS), Chronic Pain, Body Image Issues, Relationship Issues, Addictions, Grief & Loss.

We all need a space where we feel heard, validated and supported without judgment. The cultural messages we receive around our trauma, sexuality and gender can have a profound impact on the way we experience both ourselves and the world. As a queer therapist, I am passionate about providing a safe, inclusive and compassionate space for female-identified and 2SLGBTQ+ clients as they embark on their journeys of self-discovery, healing and empowerment.

Problems can be pretty tricky, they can stump us, limit possibilities and lead us to reconsider the very things that are important in life. I am interested in creating a conversations that welcome both the difficult experience you are up against, like an anxiety or depression or tricky relationship, alongside a commitment to uncovering the responses you have used to get by, and in some cases survive, despite difficult problems. We all have the right to our own experiences and to feel legitimate no matter how big or small, permanent or temporary a problem may be. I take a narrative approach to therapeutic conversation.

Hello! My name is Chelsea and I love nature, music, dance, spirituality, and philosophical thinking. I approach therapy through a foundation of person-centered counselling and somatic healing through the body. I have a strong orientation to social justice and I am an intersectional feminist. I approach therapy from a social and political lens, understanding that systems of oppression and injustice in our world affect many parts of our lives. As a therapist I see strength and beauty in each person’s unique character and in their story! I am also a therapist who is authentic, relational, and humorous.

I am an experienced counselling therapist and sexuality educator who is passionate about helping people feel empowered to enjoy pleasure, their bodies and sexuality. I believe that connecting to ourselves through sensual pleasure can enhance our overall well-being and build confidence and comfort in ourselves. My skills and expertise lie in working with women, non-binary, and trans folks who want to explore and improve their relationship with their body, pleasure, and sexuality. I also offer pregnancy options and abortion support.

Hello! Thank you for landing here with me. I have been providing therapeutic support for women for the past two decades. My specialties are grief and transitions. You may be navigating adulthood, motherhood, or healing from the things we don't talk about: The grief you hold, or the divorce, surviving the narcissist, or perhaps you are midlife, peri/menopausal, standing in your empty nest wondering what happened and what is next?

Do you find yourself stuck in a loop of self-criticism? Perhaps you never feel enough or accepted. Sometimes you may think that your overwhelming past experiences will never leave you. You might be exhausted from carrying the guilt and shame you don't know how to talk about. Difficult feelings can impact all aspects of life and limit your possibilities. As a Korean-Canadian Psychologist with many intersecting identities, I also understand and work with many challenges faced by BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities. Your needs matter. You deserve to be recognized and honoured. I will meet you with care and warmth to support you toward healing.

Accepting New Clients! Are you neurodivergent, or suspect that you might be neurodivergent? Have you felt unseen and feel like you have to mask in order to be accepted? Want a therapist that understands how hard it is to unmask, accept yourself, and build a sustainable life because she's neurodivergent too?

I collaborate with clients to help them pursue healing, growth, and change in their lives. I support clients as they work through trauma due to present and past events, and to form meaning and purpose moving forward. I combine EMDR, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and play therapy, depending on clients' needs. I offer family mediation for those experiencing separation or divorce, to improve communication and build a path forward. I work with individuals, couples, and children. My hope is that clients achieve personal goals, connectedness, resolution, and the ability to face life head on.

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.
