In Person Therapists in Southwest Calgary, Calgary, AB

I offer professional counselling dedicated to helping women heal from the unconscious wounds of past trauma and/or from present challenges. I specifically treat women because I can most closely identify with their journeys as someone who has worked through my own healing as a trauma survivor. Based on my 15+ years of experience, I have found that I both enjoy and feel called to serve other women in transforming their trauma. It would be my privilege to support you in finding the ease and joy that is your birthright.

Amie has had the privilege of working in the field of social work for the last 10 years and truly understands the difficulties that come with navigating life. With overwhelming news access, polarizing politics, and the ever-rising cost of living, people are feeling lonelier and struggling to find their way in this ever-changing world. Amie believes that therapy is a delicate balance of learning to understand who we are- past, present, and future and holding space for the immense pressure that humans feel to have things “figured out”.

I provide counselling to adults and couples with concerns such as as anxiety, trauma, ADHD, relationship issues, life transitions, and performance issues. I especially love to include spiritual aspects to therapy if that is meaningful to you. As a therapist I want to empower my clients to find their inner strength, as I believe that we all have an innate ability and desire to heal. I think authenticity is important in life, and therefore in therapy, so I strive to lead my sessions by being present and genuine with my clients.

Therapy, at its most basic, is 'talking.' You're likely reading these profiles to suss out who a good person is to talk to . If it helps, here is what experience has taught me: We are each unique. Our problems are equally unique. But all problems seem to grow from one common root: disconnection. Disconnection can be felt in many ways: fear, sadness, emptiness, pain, and anger. Troubled feelings such as these can lead to troubled responses, including but not limited to: avoidance, procrastination, addiction, disordered eating, relationship conflict, violence, self-harm and suicide.

Are you feeling disappointed, lonely, or even hopeless about your life situation or your relationships? Disconnection, stress, misunderstandings, boundary issues, or faltering trust in yourself or your partner are painful experiences to endure alone. You may feel lost, worried, or overwhelmed. Regardless of where you are at right now there is always hope. Even the most distressed individuals and damaged relationships can heal. Just imagine how much more fulfilling your life or relationship might be if you felt more loved and cared for by yourself and/or your partner.
