Therapists for Teens in Calgary, AB

Healing and change are possible, but sometimes, people need a little help getting there. Heather Johnson takes a holistic, integrative approach to aiding clients on their unique healing journeys. She collaborates with clients to reduce stress, connect with and accept their emotions compassionately, and recognize limiting thoughts, beliefs and behaviour patterns to feel safe and connected in personal relationships.

My goal is to create a safe and supportive environment, so that we can comfortably understand and explore your challenges, experiences, and hopes for the future. I hope to help guide you through the process of change by assisting you in taking new perspectives, developing deeper understandings about your challenges, utilizing your strengths and resources, and defining actionable ways to move forwards that are guided by your values. My perspective is client-centred, emotion-focussed, and strengths-based, and our sessions would serve to help you feel safe, inspire hope, and assist you in creating meaningful change.

I am a registered psychologist and have been working in mental health since 2012. My formal education, additional training, and clinical experience have prepared me to effectively support both adults and teens with several concerns related to mental health. My primary area of practice is psychological trauma and related concerns such as post-traumatic stress injury, emotional dysregulation, somatic symptoms, risk behaviours, depression, anxiety, acute and chronic stress, and burnout. I integrate the mind, brain, body and sociocultural context in my understanding and treatment of the concerns that trouble my clients.

Living with chronic illness, disability, or neurodivergence is hard. Getting through the overwhelm of everyday life feels impossible. You're starting to feel like all you think about is your condition and everything it has taken away from you - work, hobbies, sleep, relationships. Your family and friends don’t get it. They try to help and probably mean well, but sometimes the dismissive way they say things makes you feel worse. You try to hide your symptoms to seem “normal” but inside, you feel like you might break.

Is your child struggling with excessive worry and unwanted, intrusive thoughts? Are they anxious about attending school, hanging out with friends, or not being 'good enough'? I can help. Using a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach along with exposure and response prevention (ERP), I have experience working with children and their families to alleviate symptoms of Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I would love to meet with you to discuss how I might be able to help along you and your child's journey in mental and behavioural wellness.

Hello and welcome! I am a Registered Psychologist working in SE Calgary. I provide support to parents and families who are struggling or concerned with their child's behavioral, social, emotional, or academic well-being. I also work directly with children and teens to address a wide range of concerns such as mood and regulation concerns (e.g., anxiety, depression, stress), social skills, self-esteem, trauma, and grief.

Life is hard! We may be faced with challenges from the time we are young, and sometimes the struggles come later in life. Sometimes we lose ourselves along the way. The good news is that things can change and you are already stronger and wiser than you realize! I believe in the power of human resiliency and people’s capacity for personal growth. You are the expert on your own life, and whether you are working to heal from a past trauma, trying to improve your relationship skills, overcome struggles with anxiety or depression, increase your sense of self-worth, dealing with a loss, or just working to find yourself again. I can help!

Life can be challenging and messy. Taking care of yourself and your mental health does not have to be. I am passionate about working with first responders and those who love them, individuals and couples. I work with a wide variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, PTSD, parenting, conflict, and life transitions.

There are many reasons people may come to therapy; they might have a specific challenge or life event they are struggling with, they might be feeling stuck in certain habits and patterns that do not serve them, they may notice that past events are negatively impacting their thoughts and behaviours now, or they may want to develop a deeper understanding of who they are to engage more fully in their life and relationships. I approach this work with curiosity, compassion, respect, and humour. I believe therapy should empower people, help them to be more in control of their lives, and heal or enhance relationships with self and others.

I am gratefully working with clients from different backgrounds and cultures helping them learn how to deal with their emotions and feelings and guide them to find the best solutions for their problems, my goal is to help you and hold your hand while navigating your path.

Sometimes finding a solution requires us to change the way we think about a problem instead of attempting to change the behaviors that caused it. I take a collaborative approach to therapy, by empowering clients to rely on their own resilience and strength to explore solutions.  I specialize in working with adolescents, families, and adults with concerns involving complex mental health, trauma, grief and loss, and behavioral and mood disorders that can cause high risk or impulsive actions. A positive therapeutic relationship is essential to the therapy process. You need to feel safe, supported, and comfortable during therapy.

My approach to therapy is focused on collaboration and empowerment. My aim is to listen and understand your experiences while offering you genuine kindness, compassion, and empathy. Some of the areas I can help you with include understanding and managing your emotions, growing self-awareness, exploring your values, helping you get unstuck, and building confidence in yourself. I am flexible about adjusting my style to include different amounts of talk therapy, strategies, and skills training based on what you are looking for.

Are you experiencing an eating disorder, disordered eating and/or body image concerns? Do you find yourself overwhelmed with anxiety or depression?

My approach is to create a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space where we work together towards healing. I offer both virtual and in-person sessions.
