Therapists in Southwest Calgary, Calgary, AB
From a decade of counselling work now, I have learned that the therapy world can be full of gimmicky ideas. There is a pressure, especially on clients to be super positive minded, and overselling ideas to people about a better life and "treatments" for this and that... I have seen people overcome all sorts of things and have voiced how much therapy has been beneficial, but its gritty work, it’s not the rosy picture that therapy often sells. Adversity, stress and challenges are part of life, and therapy will not change that, but therapy can make it less lonely, and more empowering to go through these things.

Therapy is never a one size fits all approach. We all are navigating different life circumstances that can impact how we are able to function. Working collaboratively we are able to understand where you are, and where you would like to be in your life. We go through many transitions that can be overwhelming, we can find ourselves stuck and not sure how to move forward. Through therapy, we can work towards understanding the narratives that are keeping us in place and work towards creating a future that you want. I can pull from different modalities - narrative, existentialism, CBT, somatic work, and I am a trained EMDR therapist.

Do you struggle with the question, “Tell me about yourself”? Do you find that negative self-talk, self-criticism, or shame can show up under stress? Growing up in stressful or unsupportive environments can sometimes impact how we view ourselves, others and the world. No matter what your age, reclaiming yourself is possible. My name is Tayler, and I specialize in supporting adults in exploring and embracing their identities. I have noticed that negative self-talk, difficulties with self-image, identity crisis, and other concerns with self-esteem can be rooted in past pain or struggles from the past.

Do you struggle with anxiety and self-worth that affects your life, relationships, and your work? Do you feel overwhelmed and frustrated by your own self-talk, emotions and expectations? Do you wonder if your relationship with yourself, others, and the world around you could be better? Now more than ever, individuals are feeling exhausted, battling with the requirements of life as their anxiety, past, and self-worth are interfering with their ability to live life to the fullest, impacting their relationships with themselves and others. I believe it shouldn't be so hard to live the life you want.

There is power in the stories we tell and how we tell them. I love being able to hold space for others stories and empower you to decide how to tell it for yourself. My ultimate goals for you are: to know what it feels like to be safe with another person or what I call "feel felt", have a better relationship with yourself, and if we add in a coping strategy or two that you actually like to use, then bonus! There will be no "one way" I do therapy with you, because it's going to be dependent on who you are, where you are at, and how we jive! I have completed multiple trainings including ART, Narrative, DBT, ACT, EFT, Somatic and IFS.

I use a client-centered, integrative, and trauma-informed approach in my practice. I believe in a wholistic healing process that embraces understanding and attending to the stories that our cognitions, emotions, and bodies are telling us in the context of our day to day lives. Overwhelming, difficult, or traumatic experiences can keep us suffering with symptoms and patterns of living that no longer serve us. Through gently paced mind and body interventions, we can begin to discover new pathways for lasting change by developing more internal and external experiences of safety, presence, wisdom, and strength.
