"My mission is to help individuals reach their full potential by assisting them in realizing their personal strengths that will ultimately guide them in reaching their goals. I believe that people may experience hardship at different periods in their lives and may find that seeking therapeutic support is beneficial and productive towards better health. I am warm, non-judgmental, and firmly believe that individuals have what it takes to overcome life's challenges; that is, they have inner strengths that will help them heal."

"Sometimes when you are feeling anxious, stressed, depressed, overwhelmed, or any combination of those debilitating emotions, it is difficult to find that right person to reach out to. I can appreciate how important it is to feel comfortable enough to share your story, and feel that you are being heard without judgement. My first priority with you as my client will be making sure you have this experience. My approach will enable you to be yourself, which will then allow us to work together to uncover solutions that will help you manage and overcome the challenges you may be facing."

"I strive to provide a warm and compassionate presence that creates a safe and open environment with clients. Everyone faces a variety of challenges throughout life, and I believe that counselling can be a tool to help guide, and work through these times. I am passionate about healing and growth. In particular, I am passionate about helping clients to become more of who they are. I have acquired experience from my time with Distress Centre, Calgary Counselling Centre, and Canadian Mental Health Association. I understand the importance of spirituality and can integrate a holistic approach if desired."

"Prairie Neurohealth Clinic is a specialty clinic that provides comprehensive neuropsychological, neurobehavioral, and psychoeducational assessments, diagnosis, and treatment services to children, adolescents, and adults suffering with Acquired Brain Injury, ADHD, Learning Disorders, Autism, Asperger’s Syndrome, and other neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders."

"My clients come see with a wide range of challenges and concerns, from wanting to gain more understanding or compassion for themselves, relationship concerns, stress and anxiety, life transitions, and to gain a greater sense of personal meaning and fulfillment. My clients are open to exploring these with me in a mindful way that allows new insights and understandings to unfold, new information to arise of what old patterns may be standing in your way, and what strengths and resilience factors you already possess to help you find a sense of more peace, joy, connection and meaning in your life."

"Over 30 years, I have the privilege of talking to, listening to, walking with and praying for women & couples who struggle with their family, marital, and interpersonal relationships. In 2002, I graduated with a MA in counselling. Since then I have been counselling formally in the Calgary area. I love to help women to reconnect with God in their spiritual struggles. I have journeyed with many women who experience domestic abuse. The vicious cycle has kept many in terrifying living situations. I also enjoy working with couples who love each other but have a hard time getting along."

"My background is in systems theory; the idea that everyone is connected to those around them, with influence between all those people, organizations, and cultures. My approach to therapy is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but I also see a need for insight into the meaning that we make/have made of things and how that impacts our present. Therapy then, involves opening space for a person to increase awareness of their own process and to see alternative perspectives, thereby empowered to make different life decisions. It is so exciting to see someone realize that they have the power to change their perspective and their life!"

"I approach counselling with a passion for creating a genuine and authentic therapeutic connection with individuals. I believe that compassion, understanding, and trust are essential in building a safe environment for clients where they can focus and connect with their inner world, thoughts and feelings. I bring an experience of counselling diverse populations at the Sonshine Community Counselling Services. As a therapist, I will listen, help teach new skills and challenge clients to see new ways to live and most importantly believe in themselves."

"I offer counselling for individuals (adults, adolescents and children), couples, and families, addressing anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, depression, anger/aggression, and other emotional/behavioural issues. It is my belief that effective counselling incorporates working with the whole human being - including the mind and the manifestation of emotional experiences in the body. My approach integrates mindfulness and cognitive interventions with somatic body and movement work."

"I recognize that significant positive change requires a shift in how we think, feel, and relate to ourselves and others. If you're seeking a way to thrive rather than to just survive, my integrative approach helps clients who may feel stuck in life or overwhelmed, lacking meaning or purpose, dealing with past hurts and traumas, or simply wanting to live their full potential. "

"Narrative ideas are well suited for a broad range of people, including members of marginalized communities and people who have found traditional therapies unsuitable or stigmatizing. Some concerns that people most often want to discuss include (but are not limited to): depression, anxiety, trauma, identity crises, self-doubt, life's pressures and expectations, relationship difficulties, grief/loss, body or food-related worries, life transitions, and chronic health conditions. I also have a passion for working with other therapists - as humans with problems of our own, therapists need an ear and a safe place to talk too!"

"People who benefit from therapy often want change, but don't know how to accomplish that alone. They want to overcome anxiety or depression, have a desire to stop struggling with addictions - to alcohol and drugs, gambling, work, exercise, or other process addictions, they want a more fulfilling career or to solve difficulties with bosses or colleagues. Clients want to create more fulfilling relationships - ones free from infidelity and with a deeper sense of connection. They want to let go of hopelessness or apathy, and find answers to questions like 'who am I' or 'how did I get here'."

"I believe that we are always striving for more fulfilling lives, with positive relationships and internal wellbeing, but we often find there are barriers that seem to get in the way. In my practice I offer support when clients are feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, uncertain how to heal from previous trauma, or are experiencing challenging dynamics with the people in their lives. My goal is to work with clients to create significant change, overcome challenges, knock down those barriers and help them live their preferred lives. I’m dedicated to creating a welcoming atmosphere that invites you to feel at ease and understood."

"My hope is that genuine care and a non-judgmental approach will help you feel comfortable and supported as you begin your journey to transformation. I have experience helping clients with their most important and difficult issues and have received training under world renowned therapist Dr. David D. Burns. Because fit is an important part of why clients achieve their goals in treatment, I offer a free 20 minute consultation to all new clients."

"I am currently a Registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists and a Certified Art Therapist. I completed my Masters of Counselling Psychology through Athabasca University and Advanced Diploma in Art Therapy at the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute. While I do not engage in Art Therapy with every client I see, it is something that can be made available to anyone who is interested. When engaging in traditional talk therapy, my roots are in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Narrative Therapy, through a very Client Centered approach."

"My goal is to create an accepting and genuine atmosphere for my clients. I am passionate about working collaboratively with you to facilitate enduring intrinsic growth and an increased ability to live an authentic and meaningful existence. I believe that the definition of a meaningful life is unique to every individual, and therefore I seek to integrate your individual values and beliefs into therapy. I have experience with individuals, couples and families, as well as children and adolescents."

""Isn't it time that you started living verses just existing. I believe that every individual has the strength to work towards a happy, healthy and balanced life. I know that no one just 'gets over' things but they can be assisted to work through their struggles and traumas. I pride myself on the therapeutic alliance and personal empowerment of individuals through respect, communication, and the acknowledgment that each individual is the author of their own lives. I work with children, teens, individuals and couples.""

"I am a PhD-level psychologist with a background in treating depression and anxiety, as well as other life stressors including relationship difficulties, adjustment issues, low self-esteem, emotion dysregulation, and life transitions. My goal is to help clients regain control of their lives by increasing coping skills and reducing emotional pain and suffering. My background consists of 14 years of experience that includes therapeutic work with adolescents, adults, and elderly clients via individual, family, group, and couples therapy. I also specialize in forensic psychology, working with clients involved with the legal system."

"I am dedicated to helping people make lasting and meaningful change in their lives. I offer sincere empathy and thoughtfulness in which you can come to a deeper understanding of yourself, and feel safe, understood and accepted. Additionally I offer practical tools that you can use on your own which have been shown by research to be powerful and effective, so that you can navigate difficulties and reach your goals."
