In Person Therapists in Calgary, AB

Salam and hello. A client once shared a quote by Ram Dass that resonated with me: "We're all just walking each other home." Every time I "walk a client home," I feel honoured. I believe that everyone is born with immense amount of strength, but it can be hard to see your strength when you are going through a hard time. My work as a psychologist is built on the foundation of trusting relationship, non-judgmental space, and the positive regard I offer to my clients. I work collaboratively with my clients, supporting them in acknowledging and embracing their strengths and moving gently towards change.

Are long term difficulties due to complex and traumatic experiences (often from childhood) making life challenging for you and/or your relationships? Is there an unexplored grief that accompanies these experiences? Do you struggle with anxiety, depression. PTSD, personality disorder (eg., BDP), chronic pain/illness or have dissociation? To add to this complexity are you neurodiverse (eg., ADHD, autism, gifted) or suspect you are? If you answered yes to one or more of these questions you are like many of my clients. I offer individual and couples counselling and formal adult psychoeducational, neurodiversity and trauma assessments.

With nearly a decade of experience working with various high risk populations, I am able to build collaborative relationships and create an environment of safety and stability. From these trusting therapeutic relationships, I work with my clients to address what is holding them back and set a course for where they want their future to go.

Have you recently had a distressing experience, does it feel like your coping skills are maxed out? Are you having difficulties sleeping? Are you haunted by traumatic experiences or relational wounds? If you've said yes to any of these questions it may be time to seek out help and accountability in a confidential relationship in which you can strengthen your resources, increase your resiliency and reconnect with inner purpose and joy.

New to therapy? Nothing to worry about! Sometimes it's hard making sense and to talk about our feelings, experiences and patterns of behaviours. Empathetic by nature, I'm a progressive therapist, who uses a strength-based approach to help you and/or your partner achieve emotional balance and optimal mental health. My job is to ultimately help you feel comfort, acceptance, and to listen without judgement. Some days we'll laugh and realize those light 'ah ha!' moments while other days we will work hard to uncover those deeply personal truths. If you'd like to know more visit me at: alphacounselling.ca

Hi! My name is Sydney and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist offering therapy services within Alberta both in person and virtual. I support clients of diverse backgrounds and age groups focused on helping clients navigate through their struggles that impact their daily functioning. I work to equip you with coping mechanism, strategies, and offer active listening to support you.I offer individual therapy at this time.

I am passionate about working with adult individuals who struggle with PTSD and trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, co-dependency, stress management, and relationship issues. Generally, my clients are functioning quite well in their day-to-day lives, but negative thought patterns and behaviours (which may have served them in the past, but no longer are) tend to get in the way of their ability to cope with work, relationships, etc.

Life can feel overwhelming at times and it's important to realize you are not alone. I am a registered psychologist who provides assessment and treatment services to adults and seniors with mild to severe mental health issues—specifically, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, self-esteem, life transition, addiction issues, bipolar and psychotic disorders, as well as posttraumatic stress among MVA survivors. My work conducting psychological assessments offers another angle in promoting self-exploration and identifying opportunities for growth. I also provide vocational counselling in the context of life and career transitions.

Do you frequently find yourself worrying about your child's school achievement? Are they underperforming academically? Do they "FREEZE" when trying to learn new things or complete assignments? Does your child not appear to be retaining the information that is presented in class? They seem to have mastered topics one day, but the next day is like starting over? Do you find yourself thinking about whether their needs are learners are being met? If any of this sounds familiar to you, it may be time to consider an assessment. We offer assessments for Learning Disabilities, ADHD and Autism, for children and adults.

Are you or someone in your family struggling with anxiety, fragile self-esteem or low mood? Does it seem like it started off small but feels like it is escalating and you are unsure of how to help them or yourself? Growing up can be hard. Many children and teens today face increased anxiety, social challenges, learning difficulties, depression, loss or family challenges like divorce or illness of a parent or loved one. In adulthood, the challenges may look different, but age does not shield us from the challenges caused by career pressures, overwhelm or blows to our confidence.

I am a PhD trained Clinical Psychologist with expertise in assessing and treating mood disorders (e.g., depression, bipolar disorder), anxiety disorders (e.g., social anxiety, generalized anxiety and worry, panic disorder), and sleep disorders (e.g., insomnia, parasomnias), amongst other issues. I also work with many clients who are having difficulty in an area of their life and need support in learning how to cope most effectively with life circumstances. I provide services to individual adults of all ages (not children or couples), in Alberta and Manitoba.

Painful and terrifying experiences that we experience in childhood as well as in adulthood, can have lasting negative effects on our lives. These experiences often leave us feeling overwhelmed, stuck, isolated and having difficulties managing strong emotions such as anxiety, depression, anger, sadness, shame and guilt. Taking the first step towards addressing these challenges can be anxiety provoking; my role is to join you on this journey towards healing.

Specialized child and adolescent therapy services - When your child is facing a challenging life event, or is struggling with difficult emotions or behaviours, you may feel overwhelmed and unsure. Maybe you feel judged, or even judge yourself. You want to find a skilled clinician who can respond effectively to your child's specific needs and help you rediscover your confidence as a caregiver. Unlike a generalist counsellor, my therapeutic services are tailored to the distinct developmental needs of children and teens. I blend expressive and evidence-based treatment approaches. Non-judgmental caregiver support is also offered.

My area of expertise is working with children and teens, and providing parent consultation. When you and your child partner with me, I will focus on building and maintaining a sense of safety and security, while meeting your child where they’re at. I’ll integrate Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and a mindfulness approach, along with creative hands-on activities, into my counselling practice to support your child in reaching their unique goals. My ideal clients are looking for a nonjudgemental and supportive counselling environment, where we can explore challenges in a creative and engaging way.

It takes courage to seek help, so I commend you for taking this first step. Although therapy can seem intimidating, I view it as just like any other health service, such as the dentist or chiropractor. Just like how we visit the dentist if we have severe tooth pain or need a routine cleaning, I am here for both your traumatic experiences as well as maintenance sessions. No issue is too small when working with me and my practice, Arcadia Counselling. No one is meant to struggle alone, which is where I come in. Therapy looks different for everyone whether that is a place to unload, learn techniques, or improve your quality of life.

I love collaborating with my clients to help them feel better both emotionally and physically. I draw on a variety of evidence-based approaches including: Cognitive-Behavioural, Solution-Focused, and Narrative therapy. My goal is to help you conceptualize the problem in a way that makes sense and leads to meaningful change. My areas of specialization include: Anxiety, Depression, Body Image Struggles, Weight Management, Disordered Eating, IBS, Relationship/Career decisions, and overall stress management.
