Therapists in Calgary, AB

Hello! I am Sadaf and welcome to my Psychology Today profile :) Are you feeling stressed and looking for someone to talk to? I am offering flexible scheduling with afternoon and evening appointments, both in-person and virtually on weekdays and the weekends.

Hello! It’s so great to see you. I’m Adrienne (she/her). I have a keen interest in working with individuals and couples, from teens to adults, and from all walks of life, who may be struggling with identity, trauma, life transitions, family/relationship issues, neurodivergence, and general issues related to mental health and well-being. My goal is to help empower you to live a full and meaningful life, and to find out what that means for you.

Challenges and suffering are a part of everyone’s journey. To be human is to feel the full range of emotions - the good, the bad and the ugly. But emotions can be confusing and cause a great of distress. I can help you understand what you're feeling and why you're feeling it, so you can use your emotions as a guide to living a full and meaningful life. When you sit across from me, you get an authentic, genuine person. I’ll laugh with you and cry with you. Because there is power in being able to share your emotional experience with someone, so you know you’re not alone.

I enjoy working collaboratively with adults, adolescents, and couples facing a wide range of personal and career issues. Within a safe and respectful therapeutic relationship, I help clients successfully navigate life's difficulties and increase their resiliency. I am comfortable addressing a wide range of concerns including: relationships, anxiety/depression, grief and loss, anger, work-life balance, spirituality, sexual orientation and addictions. I encourage individuals to identify and utilize their strengths in order to effectively deal with life's many challenges. My role is to listen attentively and offer life-enhancing tools.

I am Gina Ko, a Registered Psychologist with over ten years of experience in counselling psychology. I have worked with many individuals, couples, and families so they can strive towards acceptance, wellness, and thriving. I offer a collaborative and compassionate approach to therapeutic experiences. I believe counselling provides new and renewed insight. My clients have told me I am warm, empathetic, and have an awesome sense of humour. I can speak Cantonese and welcome clients who would appreciate the language bridge.

Is your life all you want it to be? Are you struggling to make changes on your own and it just ISN'T working? I offer skilled and compassionate counselling in a non-judgmental, safe and confidential environment where you can share your concerns, gain perspective and learn specific, targeted tools to help you navigate life's challenges, improve wellness and heal and move past life's difficulties. Working from a person-centered, holistic approach I blend cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic (including attachment focused) and interpersonal therapies to individualize the best care for you.

We provide strength-based therapy for individuals from a wholistic model. At Creative Sky Psychology, we support individuals with exploring issues related to finding meaningful change, personal growth, and long term wellness. Individuals are invited to find coping strategies to manage life's challenges. We specialize in the treatment of Anxiety, ADHD, ASD, OCD, and issues related to Self-Esteem, Relationship Difficulties, and Emotional Challenges. We also provide assessments to support clients with clinical concerns and educational concerns.

Congratulations on taking charge of your life! You are one step closer to getting the help and support that you seek. Asking for help requires courage, and vulnerability, and acknowledging that we all have limitations in our abilities and capacity to handle stress. Asking for help doesn't mean there is something wrong with you, or that you are "broken." Rather it may be that you don't know what to do, or need someone to help guide you through the process. Therapy is meant to be a safe place for you to explore your thoughts, fears, worries and hopes for the future in seeking meaningful chaange without judgement or expectations.

I am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta and Ontario. I offer online and in-person sessions. I am also a Divorce Mediator and provide Marital Mediation services. I teach in the Psychology department at Mount Royal University (MRU). I work with people who need guidance to redesign their relationship, work through a crisis or are transitioning into a co-parenting relationship with their spouse.

I have worked with individuals, couples and families in a variety of settings. I am experienced in working with individuals of all ages who are battling with childhood traumas (sexual/physical abuse), and who struggle with a variety of mental health issues such as Tourettes, ADHD/ADD, Fetal Alcohol Effect, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Anxiety Disorder and OCD. I have over a decade of experience working with families in crisis, parent/teen conflict, relationship/marriage difficulties, custody/access conflict, addictions, survivors of sexual/physical abuse, depression, and anger management issues.

These are unprecedented times, rife with unprecedented challenges. The uncertainty of the situation, the lack of a map for understanding the present and envisioning the future, is a source of chronic stress for almost everyone one, and takes a particularly heavy toll on some. Its impacts are being felt at every level, experienced in ways that continue to evolve and that may be overwhelming. We are all new to this situation, but we are not new to grappling with unforeseen problems or having to pick our way though the unknown. Helping people to do that, even in ordinary times, is what my work is all about.

CONFIDENTIAL, COMPASSIONATE, SKILLED...My clients are curious, brave and ready to evolve, even if they're not quite sure what that looks like yet. They are looking to access the underlying roots of present day triggers, to live authentically in a world that promotes quick fix solutions and unending busyness. Meaningful growth commands us to slow down, pay attention, inquire within, and be (not do). Individuals that connect with me are ready for something different, something deeper. They are ready to develop a more compassionate relationship to the parts of self that are calling for attention. They are ready to thrive.

Welcome and congratulations on taking this step towards growth and change. Changes and transitions are an inevitable part of life. You might find yourself being asked to let go of what is familiar and to embrace something new. Perhaps you feel lost, stuck, overwhelmed… or you need help finding your path… or you seek someone you can talk with. It can feel like things just aren’t working, or that you don’t know where to begin. We all experience occasional difficulties navigating life’s challenges and transitions, and there can be times we feel especially stuck and discouraged, and we need some extra support. Counselling can help.

During times of heightened stress symptoms related to anxiety, panic, and depression worsen and it can be very hard to maintain hope and positivity during this global crisis. Self-isolating, social distancing, and quarantine are helpful to keep everyone as safe as possible during COVID19, but this also puts added pressure on individuals residing alone, on relationships, and on families. I am passionate about mental and emotional health, and I am available to help you and your loved ones throughout this pandemic and beyond.

Excessive worry, overwhelm, inner conflict, and fear can impede our ability to cope. I work with a range of hardships such as painful life events or transitions, general and relational stress, effects of toxic relationships, instability, conflict or betrayal, grief and loss, past or current trauma and parenting issues. My commitment is to hold a safe space to explore your concerns holistically - processing from an emotional, cognitive and somatic lens. It is important to me that you come away from our time with clarity and insight, new self-awareness and the strength and tools needed to help you move forward.

Are long term difficulties due to complex and traumatic experiences (often going back to childhood) continuing to make life challenging for you? Do you have an unspoken and/or unexplored grief that accompanies these experiences? Is your current relationship struggling? To add to this complexity are you neurodiverse (eg., ADHD, austism spectrum disorder, gifted) or suspect you are? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions you are like many of my clients.

Life is hard! We may be faced with challenges from the time we are young, and sometimes the struggles come later in life. Sometimes we lose ourselves along the way. The good news is that things can change and you are already stronger and wiser than you realize! I believe in the power of human resiliency and people’s capacity for personal growth. You are the expert on your own life, and whether you are working to heal from a past trauma, trying to improve your relationship skills, overcome struggles with anxiety or depression, increase your sense of self-worth, dealing with a loss, or just working to find yourself again. I can help!

I recognize that everyone's path and journey is multi layered and multi-dimensional, based on one's ethnicity, culture, religion, gender, sexual orientation, generation, etc. and what exists at that point of intersection is unique. I would love to join you on your own unique journey and help you gain insight on what brings you here. I enjoy working with individuals including young adults and seniors, couples, families – nuclear, joint and extended families. My areas of expertise include depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, stress, grief and loss, self-esteem, racial and sexual minorities and immigrant populations.
