Therapists in Southeast Calgary, Calgary, AB

I work with individuals, parents, children, teens and families looking for support for a wide range of issues. I specialize in issues relating to trauma for adults and children, PTSD, adoption (I am an adoptive parent), parenting, attachment, ADHD, trauma, loss, accepting a diagnosis for you or your child, and living well with chronic disease. I also provide psychoeducational assessments.

As a Registered Psychologist, I specialize in using neurofeedback therapy. It is a very unique type of therapy that I find to be incredibly effective for many mental health concerns. Trauma, either physical or emotional, can cause the brain to lose its balance. Instead of medications, or talk therapy, we go right to the source of many issues, the brain. By training the brain to have better activity, you will notice improvements in many areas of your life! Sessions are relaxing (many people even sleep through a session), very safe, simple and effective.

I am passionate and skilled in working with clients who have experiences of trauma, PTSD, family conflict, marital conflict, parent-child issues, emotional or behavioural disturbances, depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I enjoy working with clients who are interested in making long-lasting changes and improvements to their life.

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.

I specialize in trauma related symptoms and concerns. As an EMDR certified therapist I can help with complex trauma, relational trauma, phobias, mood and relationship concerns. I offer treatment intensives and day retreats. Depression, anxiety relationship concerns are often symptoms of trauma and we can explore healing further with EMDR and somatic therapies. I also support individuals and their family members struggling with stress, behaviour problems, communication difficulties, marital concerns, and co-parenting issues after separation and divorce. often a little help can change the direction to a more positive one.

“An unexamined life is not worth living “ Socrate. It is not unusual to question our own thought life, emotions and behaviors because we strive to become a better version of ourselves for a better life with a better quality of relationships and mental health. Handling relationships with family members, a partner, and children is never easy in this modern world with so much technology and so little time. Desiring functioning and meaningful relationships start with you. You need to learn to care, to heal, and to love yourself before you can love others which includes talking to a professional to address your challenges thoroughly.

Are you having difficulty with regulating yourself and responding the way you want with the people in your life? Feel free to reach out to tackle together the things you would like to change. I am a registered clinical social worker with over 15 years experience working with children/families/individuals. I believe that children exist within the context of the relationships in their lives; therefore, I involve parents/families in the therapeutic process

Registered Psychologist, Paloma Scott is highly experienced in offering support to complex cases with children, youth, adults, and families who have a variety of difficulties, such as Trauma (PTSD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Specific Learning Disorder (SLD), Giftedness, Depression, Anxiety, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD), etc.

I am deeply passionate about helping clients who are struggling with regulating difficult emotions (anger, anxiety, sadness), symptoms of obsessive-compulsive disorder, and dealing with aftermath of traumatic stressors. At times, we need an objective compassionate outside perspective to help us go through challenging circumstances and I strive to provide this to all my clients. I work with clients to set realistic and attainable goals in areas they wish to work on as well as process emotions that are bubbling up and getting in the way of pursuing value directions.

We enjoy helping clients of diverse backgrounds address both relationship and individual challenges. We provide empathic listening and a warm and safe environment to talk about issues. We can help you to gain perspective, understand and take responsibility for your feelings, and make clear requests for getting your needs met. We have experience working with a wide variety of issues including depression, anxiety, mood swings, low self esteem, out of control anger and addictions. (Visit our website for more information.)

Most of how we feel, respond and think is based on unconscious patterning beliefs. I am committed to providing a safe and compassionate space for you to feel welcomed where ever you are at. By shedding light on what is unconscious through the pathway of increased awareness major transformation, healing and new neural connections can occur. The secret to feeling more ease lies in examining the core issues that are causing the distress and look directly into those places that we are avoiding. This approach arises from my experience that lasting change occurs when metal, physical, emotional and spiritual systems are all involved.

We practice using a cutting edge model of therapy designed to re-pattern the disorganization in the lower brain centers, which helps get to the heart of the healing process for clients. Life presents us with many challenges and we believe we all deserve to have someone in our corner. I truly believe in the importance of working collaboratively.
