I am a registered psychologist specializing in child psychology. I provide parenting support to parents of children (ages 2-12) and work with children and their parents (ages 6 -12) in the therapeutic setting. I provide support with a variety of concerns, including parenting concerns, divorce/separation, anxiety, social problems, school-related concerns, grief and loss, ADHD, high-functioning autism, and emotional regulation. I also have completed training in EMDR and the ARC trauma framework to work with children who have experienced trauma.

In challenging times such as those we are experiencing today, it is only normal to feel overwhelmed, anxious, angry and sad. Our world and the life we knew have changed. Some of us lost their jobs, some of us lost activities which were close to their hearts, some of us lost their dreams and plans, and some of us lost their loved ones. Covid-19 constitutes a universal struggle, and it also imposes additional distress for some of us who were already coping with mental health issues. While Covid-19 forces distance, you don't need to be alone with your pain. I believe that every struggle is also an opportunity for personal growth.

I create a supportive and collaborative space for adults, children and families to grow, and work toward their desired outcomes. I work with people with goals to reduce difficult emotions, improve relationships or careers, navigate life changes, and/or move through the grief process. This sometimes involves navigating symptoms of depression, anxiety, post traumatic stress, manic depression, or personality disorder related challenges.

Reaching out and researching professionals who can help can be an intimidating and overwhelming experience. However, finding the right fit for you (or a family member) is absolutely critical to achieving the results you are wanting. So allow me to introduce myself... My name is Dawn Furlong and I am a Registered Psychologist serving Okotoks and surrounding areas. I provide individual counselling services to individuals ages 16 and up. I have a wide range of experience working with youth and adults from many different backgrounds. I am also passionate about parent consultation to help you improve your relationship with your child.

My ideal clients are adults who are struggling with life transitions, mood disorders, personality disorders or making any desired changes in their life. I have built my counselling practice around mindfulness, with a special interest in Mindful Self-Compassion. I am dedicated to helping adults learn to develop the confidence to create change and heal from depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, borderline personality disorder, body image concerns and low self esteem.

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.

I am a Registered Psychologist specializing in couples counselling. I work with couples on a variety of obstacles in their relationship, such as a breakdown of communication, recurring arguments, life transitions, disconnection between partners, and intimacy issues. I also specialize in working with adult individuals struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship/communication difficulties.

Many of us have periods in life when we need support to cope with life and/or to process what has happened to us in the past. I believe that reaching out for support is a strength; it is something I have done myself and find value in. I provide a safe and caring environment to work with clients in creating goals, building coping skills and self compassion, clarifying values, identifying current and building new external and internal resources. My approach is patient and calm and I believe building rapport to be an essential building block to our work together.

Hi there, I'm Tanya. I enjoy supporting youth to Millennials who are facing stress, anxiety, depression and ADHD, amongst a variety of other emotional difficulties. Life has been difficult, especially throughout these unprecedented times, and can result in troubles with worrying, focus and attention, low self-esteem, feelings of isolation, relationship issues, and overwhelming negative thoughts. It's not easy. The good news is that despite these difficulties, counselling can help turn the tide around; it offers a safe space to gain new insights, coping skills, and confidence to overcome challenges and start feeling better.

Accepting New Clients - I am experienced in relationships, as well as Child & Adolescent Mental Health. I worked for 20+ years with AHS. I am well-versed in assessment & therapy with children & teens who present with mental health concerns, so their families can live healthier, more productive & more fulfilling lives. Or, are you looking for someone who specializes in relationships - your partner, your children, your family? When you stop expecting people to be perfect, you can like them for who they are. I greatly enjoy supporting couples, families, parents, and children alike, who present with much strength, although in distress.

Counselling can be seen as planting a seed that, with nurturing and attention, will grow into something beautiful. Every individual is akin to a seed that undergoes continual growth, advancing through each fleeting season filled with moments of happiness, sorrows, triumphs, bravery, disappointments, and fresh starts. Like seeds, humans require sources and resources to aid them in reaching their full potential, such as sunlight, rain, and soil. And just like every seed holds importance, every human being also possesses inherent value. By choosing to seek counseling, you have taken the first step towards transformation.

I describe myself as a transformational therapist not because it is trendy but because my approach is centred on transformation. Each of us has an internal drive towards healing; we seek to be better than "fine." We all experienced trauma in one form or another, no parent who has ever lived could meet every need we had as children. We all have parts of ourselves that we have cut off, disowned, or devalued. In therapy, we work together to construct a new experience, allowing you to reclaim who you truly are.

As a compassionate and experienced mental health expert, I am committed to empowering clients facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, grief and loss, OCD, trauma-related disorders such as PTSD, and neurodiversity (including autism or ADHD) in achieving their well-being and recovery objectives. With a unique set of skills and knowledge, I am able to offer effective therapeutic services in multiple languages, including Turkish, Farsi, Urdu, Hindi, Panjabi, and basic Japanese, in addition to English. I have earned Ph.D., MSc., and BA degrees in Psychology from reputable universities in the USA, India, and Iran.

We are not meant to do the tough stuff alone; I strongly believe in the importance of human connection and its necessity for healing. I understand the struggles that can arise from carrying the weight of life's challenges. During these times, it can be helpful to seek support with a counsellor to help you process, explore, and heal. I am a Master’s level Registered Social Worker and have been working in the field for over 11 years. I hold particular interest in the areas of grief, anxiety, depression, relationships, life transitions, and trauma.

Stress can impact the whole person and trauma can turn one’s world upside down. Sexual and physical assault, combat, medical traumas or serious accidents are all examples of traumatic events that can cause an array of distressing symptoms. Anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares along with nausea, and chronic fatigue are common and can wreak havoc on relationships. Sometimes feelings of horror, anger, sadness can seem to come out of nowhere making people feel like they are going “crazy.” But they are not. These are symptoms of trauma, and specialized evidence base treatment can help.

This is not how you imagined your maternity leave. Instead of feeling happy like you’re supposed to, you are anxious and always on the verge of tears. There’s a constant nagging feeling like you’re not good enough for your baby. And let’s not talk about the exhaustion. It scares you to hold your baby, but at the same time you can’t let go. So, you end up holding her during nap times…and never find the time to attend to our own needs. When you look in the mirror, it’s like you are looking at a stranger. It is no longer a matter of doing your best, it’s about surviving this season of life. Or is this how it will be forever?
