Therapists in T2N

I strive to offer an accepting, non-judgmental, and safe environment for all my clients. I believe that my clients are the experts in their own lives, therefore, I work with a collaborative approach.

Life can be very difficult to navigate at times. We can feel overwhelmed and unsure of what direction to take, or how we can cope with big changes. Counselling can be a safe space where we feel seen and heard, explore our experiences, and forge a new path for ourselves. I have had the honour of working with clients with concerns regarding career and education direction, anxiety, social anxiety, depression, bereavement, stress, and life transitions. Counselling can also be a place for those who want to understand themselves better and build a meaningful life according to their values.

I am a registered child psychologist specializing in helping toddlers, young children (up to age 12), and their families with common emotional, cognitive, and behavioural difficulties. I provide assessment and treatment tailored to meet the specific needs of each child and family. Because young children depend so heavily on those around them to address their developmental needs and challenges, I collaborate closely with parents. The parent-child relationship often provides the best opportunity for effective intervention. I provide a respectful and caring environment for parents to understand what their child's behaviour is communicating, what their child needs, and how they can meet those needs.

By the time you ask for help, you've already suffered enough. I believe in an efficient and sustainable approach to positive change, which gives you immediate insight, direction and relief. I firmly believe that all which lies within your heart of hearts can manifest easily into your life, and I am committed to helping you with it. Whether you are suffering from anxiety, managing transitions and life changes, addiction, finding your purpose, mental illness, or you simply want to be a better person, I will help you achieve your goals and work with you for lasting positive outcomes.

I'm a Registered Psychologist offering individual therapy for issues including anxiety, sleep/insomnia, grief/loss, stress, and relationship difficulties. I'm also passionate about working with individuals in the LGBTQ2S+ community. I believe therapy is a collaborative relationship where your input is critical to success. Together, we'll decide what goals to work on and how to get there. I offer a free, 15-minute consultation to help you decide whether we'd be a good fit and to answer any of your questions.

New Year, New You? Many people make new year resolutions, but they are so hard to keep, especially since many of us are still physically, mentally and emotionally exhausted and drained from all that we've gone through in the past two years. Ready to stop holding your breath and start breathing again? Hi, my name is Teresa, a practicum student completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I believe everyone is doing their best, given their circumstances, and it take courage to reach out for support. I applaud you for taking the first steps.

I am passionate about guiding you towards lasting positive changes by utilizing effective treatment models. I bring experience working with diverse populations from the Calgary Counselling Centre, Carya (formerly Calgary Family Services), Distress Centre, and Society for Treatment of Autism. As I believe the best indicator of counselling success is the relationship between the client and their counsellor, I strive to create a warm and welcoming environment by utilizing an empathetic and compassionate approach.

I believe that psychology is a tool for solving problems and working through change. In my career, I have helped many people 'get unstuck', overcoming emotional difficulties and working through trauma, grief, and loss. I also regularly work with couples and families, helping with challenges including marital conflict and parenting difficulties. My approach is integrative, and tailored to each person that I meet. I draw upon a number of evidenced-based approaches, including emotion-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, experiential therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.

Courage, moderation, hope, wisdom, love, meaning and purpose, these are some of the qualities we wish for when we are struggling and in pain. If you or someone close to you are looking to embody these types of virtues in the face of adversity, I would like to offer my support.

Are you looking for professional support? Someone to talk to and provide research-supported treatment? I aim to create a space to explore patterns, emotions, and behaviours that someone may want to understand further or make change to. I attempt to create a safe, non judgmental, and collaborative therapeutic relationship. I am a Ph.D. trained clinical psychologist in private practice in Calgary, Alberta. I am also an Adjunct Professor at the University of Calgary and a Clinical Psychologist with Alberta Health Services. I am committed to tailoring the treatment approach to help my clients achieve the benefits they desire.

I have over 30 years of experience working therapeutically with individuals from all walks of life and look forward to honoring your lived experience and supporting you in your journey toward living a rewarding, authentic life. I have a keen interest in the areas of depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, communication, addiction, and mental health issues, postpartum, grief, relationships, and conflict. I feel my addiction and mental health nursing experience along with my counselling experience bridges the medical model and the psychosocial/behavioral models to empower you to become your best self.

Are you looking for a helping hand through divorce, or other trauma, or are you struggling with feelings of uncertainty, general unhappiness, depression, or lower than ideal self-esteem? Together, we can look at strengths, look at what is not going the way you would like it to go, and strategize a plan for making things better. If you have experienced trauma - whether from a car accident, an assault, or abuse as a child, then I definitely have skills in helping to reduce ongoing negative effects of these experiences, primarily using a technique called EMDR, as well as other strategies.

I’m an experienced counsellor who can help you explore your fears and anxieties without feeling judged. I will help you understand present patterns of thinking and behaving, and identify those patterns which may be unhelpful, and where they originated. We can examine difficulties in making and keeping relationships and evaluate assumptions and beliefs. I offer a variety of counselling services that will nurture your spirit, help you overcome personal challenges, and allow you to achieve your individual life goals. I cater to each of my client’s personal needs in order to unlock their full potential.

When is it time to seek a therapist? There is no hard and fast rule; however, if you are having recurring worries, personal or interpersonal problems, or difficulty managing in other important areas of life, and the way through is elusive – I can help. I believe it is possible to develop constructive approaches to life challenges that foster resilience, reduce stress, and strengthen coping skills to result in a life of intention rather than reaction, that is heartfelt instead of numb, and the ability to move from confusion to self-awareness.

Sara completed her B.A. (honours) in Psychology at the University of Calgary, and after some time doing therapeutic work both locally and internationally, it became clear that in order to be of most benefit to others, she needed to further her training and delve deeper into her own process.

For Jenny, the therapeutic relationship is the foundation for all work in counselling. She believes the client is the expert in their own lives and feels privileged to hear their stories. Working together, Jenny and her clients set goals for therapy and tasks to meet those goals. Whatever their goals, Jenny feels grateful to work with individuals or couples who want to gain insight into their ways of being and new tools or resources for living. She hopes through reflection and learning, any clients she works with ultimately feel more clarity, liberty from old patterns, and peace in their lives.

I acknowledge how much strength and courage it takes to meet with a Psychologist to work through life's challenges.
