Grief Therapists in Calgary, AB
I have over a decade of experience working with children, youth and families around various issues including family relationships/conflict, parenting support, anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief.
Experiencing challenges in different areas of our lives is a human experience, and some of us find ourselves needing support as we navigate these difficulties. As a clinician, I believe that people are the experts in their own lives and have within them the strength and the capacity to enact change. I see that my role as a therapist is to help empower people to begin making those changes, to write their own life stories, to explore their own values and beliefs about how the world works, and to develop authentic fulfilling relationships.

*Chronic Illness/Rare Disease Therapist & Trauma/ Grief Specialist* Everyone deserves safety, trust, and hope. These build the foundation for our belief in ourselves, connection with others, and help us to live a meaningful life. Stress, health diagnosis, and unexpected challenges can uproot us. When that happens it’s my privilege to create a safe, grounding connection to help you find your way back to a meaningful life. Through a combination of trauma-informed and evidence-based counselling interventions, I provide a soft place to land, where you are seen, heard, and can safely speak your truth on the road to healing.

There are a multitude of reasons why we might seek out external supports beyond our inner circles. We might experience traumatic events, loss, conflict, or other crisis that can impact us significantly and create difficulties in functioning within our daily lives, influence our moods, or relationships and it can helpful to look for psychotherapy provided by clinical counsellors. I provide a trauma informed care approach while practicing within a bias free lens, and being non-judgemental. All therapy will be collaborative and encourages the concept that the client is the expert in their story.

Waitlist for new clients
It's my honour to walk alongside clients as they share their struggles, triumphs, fears, stress, hopes, grief, and everything in between.
My name is Sydney McKenzie-Hougestol (she/her) and I am a Registered Psychologist. I chose to go into this field because I love people and I believe in people. I have worked with people in the field of mental health, addictions, and trauma for 8 years. I think often the key to unlocking what is going on for a person is looking into the ways they have learned to judge themselves for what they feel and think and challenging those assumptions. I am passionate about working with people and empowering them find new ways of looking at themselves, their relationships, and the world.

Life is stressful. Work, family and friends, parenting. So many early life experiences continue to impact our quality of life: abuse, medical and other trauma, family dynamics, loss. We know physical and emotional are interwoven and must be treated as such. Mind body connection with physical symptoms and emotional pain is real. The body remembers old trauma and tells us things are not right. It also heals when we pay attention to the right things and build in resources.

Additionally, I work within the areas of grief and loss, life transition, self-compassion, emotion dysregulation, and am passionate about working highly sensitive individuals.
I am a strong believer in the power of human connection and the role it plays in our own healing and transformation. In my own life and in my work, I believe in the need to trust and connect with our inner wisdom through the integration of mind, body, heart and soul. I believe that it is through the inevitable pain, chaos, and uncertainty of life that the opportunity for transformation occurs. However, we often cannot do this work alone.

I specialize in understanding the difficulties, stressors, and experiences involved in the perinatal and postpartum period of new parenthood. The process of fertility, loss, pregnancy and postpartum can be isolating. Those times also bring considerable physical, mental, and personal relationship changes, impacting every part of life. Navigating relationships, self-esteem, stress, burnout, depression, anxiety, and trauma is not unique to new parenthood. I also have a focus on young adults and professionals in the medical field, who frequently face intense and exhausting challenges

I have lived experience with religious trauma, pregnancy loss, and the death and illness of loved ones.
Finding a therapist who can be truly present to who you are and what you are going through can feel like work on top of all the other work in your life. I aim to create reflective space for you. Are you finding a new phase of life has brought up past events that impact your life now? I'm dedicated to supporting you through life transitions. I support folks who are under pressure from career demands, aging parents, raising children and the stresses of modern life. Many of my clients grew up with parents who were emotionally unavailable, self-involved or extremely critical, and are trying to do things differently for themselves.

“Smooth seas don’t make good sailors”--It's a bitter truth-- No One escapes the challenges of Life. "What’s the purpose of therapy?” I believe we are all leaders of our own lives. Whether we choose to believe so or not, we are still leading our lives everyday with the choices and decisions we make. We can either decide to make unconscious decisions, or we can finally learn about ourselves, and take charge by making more conscious decisions that will improve the quality of our lives. Therapy is learning about and then empowering that silent leader within you. "Life is a dance between what we can control and realizing what we cannot"

Some of the issues I work best with are anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, grief, caregiving exhaustion, infidelity, couple or family challenges, self-esteem and identity problems, eating disorders, and addiction.
In my initial sessions, clients usually say, “I want someone that gets me.” This is a shared feeling; I also want my therapist to “get me” and connect with me. Hence, I use evidence-based approaches to build this connection with my clients, honoring their stories and enabling them to feel heard, unjudged, and respected. This alliance, I believe, is fundamental to the results we collaboratively attain in therapy. I work with children, teens, young adults, seniors, couples, and families from a person-centered, systemic, and strength-based lens.
