Therapists in Southeast Calgary, Calgary, AB

Nous faisons tous face à certains moments à des défis qui nous déstabilisent, que ce soit une difficulté récurrente ou une situation pour laquelle nous n’étions pas préparés, ou encore une accumulation de stress importante. Nous avons parfois besoin de soutien, de compréhension, et d’un regard extérieur pour développer de nouvelles perspectives et pouvoir avancer plus efficacement. En tant que psychologue clinicienne, j’ai le privilège d’accompagner mes cliente.e.s dans leur cheminement vers un mieux-être, ainsi qu’une vie et des relations plus saines et satisfaisantes.

Voulez-vous apprendre à mieux gérer vos émotions? Voulez-vous apprendre à surmonter des moments difficiles? Vous savez que vous êtes fatigués, vous en avez assez, et vous voulez exploser? Si vous êtes un enfant (12+), un adolescent, ou une jeune adulte dont le stresse et l'anxiété vous tracasse et dérange vos relations, votre repos, et la motivation pour l'école, le sport, et vos passions- je veux aider. Il y a beaucoup de choses que vous pouvez surmonter mais cette fois ici ça ne va pas. Vous avez parlé avec vos supports mais les explosions arrivent toujours, la tension dans le corps est là, et vous en avez assez.

Are you currently facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, emotional dysregulation, trauma, grief, or stress? Perhaps you are navigating difficult relationship dynamics or coping with significant life transitions? These are just a few of the hurdles that many individuals face, and can deeply impact your day-to-day life, relationships, and overall well-being. You are not alone. Many individuals, regardless of background or identity, are experiencing similar emotions—feeling anxious, uncertain, and overwhelmed by the struggles they face. Life can be different. You deserve support and guidance to get you there.

I commend you for taking the first step towards healing. Everyone struggles with concerns in their life, it may be depression, anxiety, grief, family breakdowns, or struggling to figure out day-to-day life. You want to live a whole and happy life, and I would love to be that person to walk this journey with you. I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered. I am culturally sensitive, client-centered, and a trauma-informed counsellor who believes in our ability to learn and grow.

Are you noticing some ongoing challenges in your relationships to others and yourself? Do you ever feel a void, an emptiness or even a cloud following you wherever you go and you can't seem to fully get why? That can be an extremely difficult and painful experience, especially as you are trying to navigate through the world. Unfortunately, most of us don't set enough time aside to tune into ourselves, heal some of our wounds and navigate through our complex layers. This avoidance can lead to some long-term affects in our intimate relationships, at work, with our kids, and more.

I am a clinical psychologist in Calgary, and provide individual, family, as well as group therapy. I also provide comprehensive psychological assessment services, as well as consultation to parents, schools, health care providers, and other professionals. My experience includes previous and current employment in the health care and educational sectors, including hospital and community settings. I typically practice from a cognitive-behavioural therapy model, and use a brief, solution focused approach to therapy. My work with couples and families tends to be more emotionally focused, attachment based, and I use a family systems approach.

ASSESSMENT SERVICES: Joyce is a registered psychologist, Canadian Certified Counsellor, and EMDR Therapist. She's also the clinical director/owner of Alberta Counselling Centre (ACC), a specialized private practice that provides thorough psychoeducational assessments and psychotherapy for children, adolescents, adults, and families. She approaches assessments with a unique understanding, developed from her experiences, as teacher, a parent, and a psychologist. Joyce is a permanently certified Alberta teacher and former high school teacher, with a strong background in educational psychology and special education.

I help adults who are experiencing anxiety, depression, loss, addiction, chronic pain, excessive stress, low happiness, life transitions, and who are ready to integrate new ways of being into their life. I work with adults who are interested in identity evolution and habit evolution and want to thrive.

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.

Would you like to feel motivated by life? Cultivate genuine, loving relationships? Feel comfortable in your skin, regardless of what life throws your way? Well you’re certainly not alone! Connection, self-esteem, and self-actualization have all been identified as human needs—essential to our mental health and well-being. Unfortunately, certain emotional, behavioural, or relational patterns can act as barriers to these needs, quelling our personal growth, and leaving us confined to oppressive cycles of anxiety and distress. Relate to any or all of the above? I think we all can—and perhaps I can help.
