Anxiety Therapists in Beltline, Calgary, AB

Welcome to CanLearn! I am the Director of Clinical Services and oversee our wonderful team! We are a not-for-profit with a warm and professional clinical team. We aim to unlock potential so all can learn. Our clients are a diverse group with specific challenges in attention, executive functioning, learning, and associated mental health concerns. Our clients are often looking to gain a better understanding of their strengths and learning needs in order to better find strategies and supports. Our clients are working toward varied goals, including educational milestones, employment goals, relationship building, and self-knowledge.

Life can be hard sometimes and sometimes we don't have the map or skills to know how to deal with it. We all have blind spots that counselling can help with. I commend you for taking this step. As a counselling psychologist, I can help you learn how to cultivate a healthier relationship with yourself and those closest to you. I have worked successfully with a wide range of adults from top performers and working professionals and leaders, to post-secondary students, artists and sensitive souls facing a variety of life transitions.

My practice, over the years, has become more and more attuned to problems of conflict and issues of violence. As a trained child psychologist, I have seen first hand the raw damage an emotional injury continues to create. As a clinician, it has not been unusual for me to see the same sorts of trauma: yet locked away in one's memory, living on in current behaviour. This is what conflict can do. The issues just seem to keep on repeating themselves, inevitably with the same unfortunate outcomes. (My role sometimes is the Life Coach who becomes a personal guide.)

My therapeutic approach is deeply collaborative, designed to support you through challenging times. I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment that fosters healing and growth. Our counselling sessions will emphasize recognizing and utilizing your inherent abilities, strengths, and resources.

Do you feel that you are not living the life you want? Are you looking for a positive change in your life? Everyone experiences challenges that are hard to handle alone. I help clients overcome the obstacles they face so they can live a fulfilling life. Understanding and connecting with who you are will allow you to find meaning, heal from pain, and move forward towards the life you wish to live. I believe that engaging in a collaborative therapeutic process can help people live happier, healthier, and more productive lives. I provide caring, compassionate, and accepting support to set the foundation for a trusting relationship.

Life can be challenging and although we may be able to cope with the majority of difficulties that come our way sometimes an issue arises that feels too difficult to manage on our own. This may be a problem within ourselves, our relationships or a situation which is seemingly beyond our control. Let me support you in tapping into your natural strengths and resiliency to overcome the problem that is facing you today. We can work together to find the solution that will work the best for you.

Currently Accepting New Clients. Over the past 18 years, my approach has explored connecting the mind, body, and spirit and so I utilize various techniques from these diverse traditions. I work to provide a welcoming space to explore the uniqueness of this human journey and marvel at the wisdom of our bodies to find healing despite difficult traumas and challenges. I bridge the world of psychology and spirituality to create curiosity about the interplay between these worlds and how we fit in the middle. I provide preparation and integration support for clients participating in Psychedelic Therapies.

We all need support and we should never feel like we are alone through our life journey. I encourage people to use what they might believe as negativity and transform it into positivity. It is when we feel most down and vulnerable that opportunities can present themselves. Through 23 years of business consulting and working through a broad range of challenges I leverage these experiences and provide the guidance needed to build new paths forward. I use a personalized, customized therapeutic approach, because we are all unique and need very specific formulas for navigating through life.

My name is Heather Samarron (MSW, RSW; they/them or she/her), and I specialize in the practice of Contemporary Feminist Narrative Therapy (CFNT) and Sex Therapy through a CNFT lens. What all this means to clients is that I bring a person-in-society, trauma-informed approach to understanding your stories and experiences, exactly as they happened to you. I am always striving to understand exactly who you are, what stories you carry, and the context in which our lives take place can which helps as we strategize exactly what freedom looks like to you and how you can truly become the author of your next chapters.

If you are struggling, know that you are not alone. Life can be hard. The idea that its supposed to be easy, or that if we struggle it means we are failing, or not enough, is wrong. These harmful beliefs along with our personal and difficult life experiences, can cause disconnection from ourselves and others. I believe this disconnection is the source of much of our suffering. I am here to support you on your unique healing journey as you rediscover the inherent resilience and capacity for healing and joy that has always been within you.

Finding the right fit with a therapist is one of the most important parts of counselling . I work with all my clients to build safety and comfort in exploring areas of their life they want to change. I am dedicated to helping people find ways of being in the world that are meaningful and fulfilling to them. I love working with people exploring different paths and looking to challenge the status quos in their lives, including those walking non-conforming paths. I am also passionate about supporting people work through historical trauma and its present day impact.

Parenting is a wondrous yet often difficult journey. Children's early development takes place within the context of their close relationships. My work focusses on helping to optimize the parent-child relationship as the foundation for a child to reach their potential and have the best possible start in life. I have focussed my career on working with children, including children with developmental differences and various medical challenges through settings such as Montreal Children's Hospital, Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario, and the Alberta Children's Hospital. I look forward to journeying with you on the adventure of parenting.

I have worked with clients ranging from early childhood to adult, supporting them through a variety of situations including mental health concerns, addictions, domestic abuse, homelessness, grief and loss, identity (re)discovery, and crisis support. I have experience in providing single session, brief, short term, and long term therapy meeting the client where they are at and what their needs are at the moment.

I work with adolescents, adults and families struggling with a range of mental health and relationship concerns. My specialty areas include eating disorders, trauma, couple therapy and parenting issues.My training has a strong attachment and family systems focus. I was also trained in Integrated Body focused Psychotherapy and Family Constellations. I also bring to my work my life experience of living in various parts of the world, the experience of moving through life transitions successfully and that of parenting my own two children.

I believe in the importance of integrating body, mind, and spirit in my approach to helping clients to move towards personal growth and healing.. My goal is to gently and supportively work with people on meeting their own goals and recognizing their potential for improved wellness.

Counselling serves a million purposes- each as unique as the client who shows up to session. It doesn’t matter what it is to anyone else. What matters to me is what you need it to be for you. As your counsellor, I am here to support you in figuring out what you want and how to get it. The work we do together is only meaningful if it translates into your every day experiences. I will help and encourage you as you gain clarity into who you are and what needs to change for you to have a life you don’t want to escape from.

Life is messy and there is no one solution that works in all situations. I work with children and families to address and meet their needs—wherever they are at along their unique journey. In my practice, I work with children (5-17 years old) and their families, providing either individual or family therapy. Common presenting themes, include: parent-children relationship concerns, intergenerational trauma, violence/aggression, and emotional/behavioural dysregulation. Common goals may include: increased communication skills, safety planning, psycho-education, and coping strategies.

My approach is based on the recognition of the potency inherent in nonjudgmental, collaborative, and strengths-based relationships. I hold in high regard the courage it takes to embark on a therapeutic journey.

CONFIDENTIAL, COMPASSIONATE, SKILLED...My clients are curious, brave and ready to evolve, even if they're not quite sure what that looks like yet. They are looking to access the underlying roots of present day triggers, to live authentically in a world that promotes quick fix solutions and unending busyness. Meaningful growth commands us to slow down, pay attention, inquire within, and be (not do). Individuals that connect with me are ready for something different, something deeper. They are ready to develop a more compassionate relationship to the parts of self that are calling for attention. They are ready to thrive.

Hello! I'm a Registered Psychologist with 5 years of experience, specializing in relationship therapy (couples & individuals). I’m in a same sex partnership & have a particular interest in supporting LGBTQ+ communities, as well as those in non-traditional relationships (e.g., ENM, poly, lifestyle). As a goal-oriented therapist, I guide clients towards meaningful change & a better place in life. I believe in accountability & actively support clients in doing the necessary work for growth & improvement. To help clients experience progress, I give tangible exercises & resources to use in between sessions.

People are wonderfully complex beings. It is rare that our suffering and/or distress comes from only one funnel or area of life (although that sometimes is the case!). This is why I believe in taking a holistic approach to therapy. The consideration of nutrition, personal purpose and beliefs, sleep, physical exercise, and social connections can make a huge difference when designing a treatment plan. You are the expert of your own life. My job is to ask meaningful questions, to collect and synthesize information, and work closely with you to design your treatment journey. Let's get started!

A straight-shooter type of therapist, I approach therapy like a regular person who goes through the same things many clients do and is not immune to struggles (anxieties, insecurities, stress, adversity, challenges at times) and focuses on constructing a real, honest down to earth conversation about how to engage progress through the grey zones and uncertainties in life. I have worked well with high performance professionals in the past, but can be very adaptable with almost anyone. I try to avoid textbook advice (unless it’s truly warranted), I give real workable suggestions or points, based on what works in a practical sense.
