Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in T2T

Note: Welcome! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist passionate about helping people heal and be well. I aim to provide a comforting environment for individuals to share their concerns and connect more deeply with themselves and others. I have experience working with both adults and youth (10+) and we often have conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships and dealing with change. I also help people navigate divorce abuse, coercive control and other traumas.

Please note, as of September 15, 2023 I have moved to Suite 502, 933 17th Ave. S.W., Calgary AB T2T 5R6. Relationships have different seasons and cycles. Challenges can arise however when great sex (or any intimacy at all) is a distant memory, communication becomes stuck, and a feeling of closeness is longed for again. These are all signs that a different approach is needed to end the frustration and created a renewed aliveness. The desire for intimacy, to feel connected, and to matter are key aspects of who we are as human beings.

Ever felt swamped by anxiety, depression, or relationship troubles? Or overwhelmed by life's daily struggles? If you're nodding yes, know this - you're not alone. Our paths may differ, but the destination is the same - understanding, healthy coping, and a better life quality. You deserve to be heard, validated, and empowered for positive life changes. And that's precisely what I offer.

BCT Counselling (Breathe-Connect-Thrive). Alexandra obtained her Masters degree in Counselling Psychology in April 2020. She recognizes that counselling can be of benefit to anyone going through distress, trauma, or unhappiness in their lives.

Are you feeling misunderstood and frustrated? Or just plain sick and tired of dealing with others, or even with yourself? Is your collection of past hurts getting in the way of enjoying life? You deserve peace in the relationship you have with yourself and with others. I am here to journey along with you to untangle your distress with authenticity and genuine acceptance. Let's explore together to unburden your unease and allow your true potential to surface and begin to celebrate your uniqueness.

I am committed to helping my clients develop the confidence, self-compassion and effective life-management skills that are necessary for healthy relationships with both themselves and others. Using a compassionate, collaborative and mindful approach, I help clients get clear on what is at the root of their stress or unhealthy behaviours, and support them in overcoming the internal barriers getting in their way of being their truest selves. Using techniques that focus on accessing my clients' inner resources, strengths, and innate ability to heal, I help them create exactly the life they want.

Accepting new clients...Have you reached your limit in pain/stress/worry? Are you growing more concerned about your relationship with alcohol and/or drugs? Or are you worried about the alcohol or drug use of someone you love and you aren't sure what you are 'supposed' to do or not do. Are you starting to realize that maybe you "don't got this", and that you need some help? Patterns of unhealthy or unhelpful behaviours developed over time CAN be changed; coping with trauma and anxiety IS possible. This can be a tough and confusing time, but reaching out for help indicates that you have hope...now it's time to build on that hope.

Hi! My name is Sanam and I am a registered psychologist. I am a therapist who values getting to know people and their worlds. I appreciate the courage and vulnerability that comes in reaching out for support. I work with teens and adults and focus on self-esteem, building confidence, managing anxiety and low mood. I am an inclusive therapist and want to find the most helpful, supportive ways to support the clients I serve.

My greatest passion is to bring healing and foster resilience to people who have been through a traumatic or stressful experience. I have over 20 years of experience, working directly with children, adults and families from various cultures, building empathy and providing nonjudgemental support to help people with addictions, depression, anxiety and grief. Currently I see individuals 13 years to 80 years old.

I love walking along side clients as they decide to change their lives. It’s your birthright to live in joy, experience sovereignty, and live your souls purpose. I specialize in trauma (using EMDR, ART, mindfulness, and somatic movement). I also work with clients experiencing anxiety, addictions, eating disorders, and grief. Trauma sessions are 1.5 hours in length and talk therapy approach, 1 hour.

Now offering services in Calgary and Okotoks areas! My personal and professional journey offers experience in trauma, addictions, relationships, bereavement, anxiety, depression, and other areas of mental health. I obtained a degree in Addictions Counselling in 2000 and have since worked closely with substance abuse and behavioural addictions. I went on to receive a Masters in Counselling Psychology to further support my focus on the complexities of couple and family relationships, and other mental health concerns.

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 offer decades of relevant experience and expertise to clients who are in the midst of a life changing transition and/or existential dilemma. My approach entails creating a safe, open, engaging relational space and then acting as a catalytic companion by using strategic questions to probe and coax the client to the discoveries and adaptations that will make a difference for them. Once the client's stress states, emotional concerns and confused thinking have been calmed and clarified, my aim is to identify and build upon their signature strengths so that they can fully realize their potentials and capacities.

Hello, I am now accepting new individual and couples' therapy clients in BC and AB. Referrals may include clients with Depressive Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Bipolar and Related Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders, Trauma and Stressor Related Disorders, relationship issues, CBT for Psychosis, and Health-related matters (e.g. adjustment to neurological diagnoses/TBI). Longer term therapy and "depth work" related to personality or life stage challenges are also offered. In addition to psychotherapy services, my practice includes psychological/diagnostic assessment and neuropsychological assessment reports.

Each one of us will struggle at some point in our lives, but these are particularly challenging times for many us. With lockdown, stress, anxiety, and depression are increasing, as are unhelpful coping strategies. Relationships are being tested. Many of my clients are seeking to feel calm and experience more emotional balance. Others are deciding that now is a good time to start the healing process from a past traumatic experience. Another common goal for clients is to start living in line with their values, or what they truly want in life.

"Your spark can become a flame and change everything" Hi, I'm Tiffany Petite. I am an evidence based - practitioner who has extensive training and experience in counselling. Have you been stuck in a rut that you can’t get out of? The more you procrastinate the harder it is to achieve your goal to the point you start questioning yourself. This leads to self judgement, shame and blame. Change starts with a single point of action. If things are not going as planned, you are shifting the tide today. I would like to help you facilitate the change you are looking for.

Over the past 19 years I have had the honor of supporting my clients' journeys of healing and growth. I provide deep listening, respect, and a safe space for clients to reflect and expand self-awareness. We work together to identify and achieve your individualized therapeutic goals. As a result of therapy, my clients have been able to: Improve decision-making, manage difficult emotions with integrity, have loving relationships with family, and let go of old fears and hurt, to enjoy life in the present.

Your story matters. I specialize in exploring meaning-making, existential questions, self-identity, and self-concept. My work emphasizes how self-understanding is transformative in helping people claim their story and live it authentically. With compassion, and a grounding presence, I aim to provide a space where your concerns are heard, cared for, and validated. I work with individuals, couples and families who are interested in understanding their story and creating change in their life. If this resonates with you, please reach out to me.

Life can bring unexpected challenges, changes, and loss. I am committed to sitting with you where you are today. With grief, anxiety, self-doubt, confusion, stress in relationships, or parenting struggles. We will work together to increase awareness and to identify and change old patterns, shift emotions and experiences held in your body, honour personal boundaries, and develop self-compassion. A significant loss at the age of 29 led me on a path to pursue grad school and yoga teacher training, before starting in private practice in 2016. I have worked in the counselling field for over 20 years.
