I am a Registered Psychologist based in downtown Calgary, Alberta. I offer individual therapy for adult clients for issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, stress, burnout, grief and loss, self-esteem, and trauma.

There is nothing worse than being in a relationship that hurts. Are you struggling to be heard in your relationship? Tired of arguing all the time? Feeling distant from your partner or feeling like they are always criticizing you or shutting you out emotionally? Perhaps you are looking for counselling for yourself because you are troubled by a relationship, experiencing excessive worry, depression or past hurts that are blocking you from experiencing the kind of happiness or positive life that you desire. Counselling can help you create a better life.

Is your life all you want it to be? Are you struggling to make changes on your own and it just ISN'T working? I offer skilled and compassionate counselling in a non-judgmental, safe and confidential environment where you can share your concerns, gain perspective and learn specific, targeted tools to help you navigate life's challenges, improve wellness and heal and move past life's difficulties. Working from a person-centered, holistic approach I blend cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic (including attachment focused) and interpersonal therapies to individualize the best care for you.

Let's face it, life can feel unbearable at times and relationships are emotionally stirring. If this is your first time working with a psychologist or not, this is likely not a high moment for you if you're reading this. Rarely do clients start a session with, "Derrick, I feel really good. My life is great! Things couldn't be better!" The reality is you're struggling, in pain, things are not going well for you or someone you care about, and I have entered the picture somewhere along the way. That you trust me or anyone else enough to connect with you in that struggle is tough to do, and a responsibility I do not take lightly.

Life changes, illness, or relational problems can impact one's quality of life. Although time can sometimes help, meaningful resolution of problems and personal growth takes place within the context of a supportive relationship. Quality of life and contentment increase as the ability to process issues develops. I help my clients resolve emotional difficulties related to life circumstances and struggles with family, friends or co-workers. Building on current areas of strength we work together to rebuild your sense of inner calmness and clarity. And, when necessary, we tackle new areas of competence together.

I provide counselling for individuals for a range of issues, including anxiety, depression, and trauma, and also relationship counselling for couples and individuals. If you are struggling with issues such as communication, major conflict, an affair, relationship crisis points, financial difficulties impacting your relationship, fertility issues and/or pregnancy loss, or not getting along well then I can help. I can coach you in ways to manage conflict and ways to rebuild your relationship.

I also provide Clinical Supervision for Provisional Psychologists looking to register in Alberta. Are you ready for a change but don’t know where to start?

Whether you are dealing with a major challenge in your life or you have issues from your past which are impacting your ability to cope, I can help.

I am the owner of Living Well Counselling Services and have over 15 years experience helping people to transform their lives. I offer a free 20 minute consultation and enjoy working with clients that need help with anxiety, mild to moderate depression, emotional abuse, burnout, time management, perfectionism, over-responsibility, sensitivity and relationship concerns.

I work to assist you in healing problems at the root.

I believe we’re all doing our best to make it work in a world that teaches isolation and self-reliance when we are wired for safe connection and secure dependence. You may be stuck feeling lonely, isolated, and empty, or maybe you’ve suffered through a difficult relationship, an impossible loss, or in securing a sense of belonging in the world. Through somatically-rooted psychodynamic counselling, we’ll focus on integrating the competing parts of you that fuel your tensions. Using parts-work, metaphor, and somatic practice, we’ll get curious about the patterns you’ve developed to survive.

“Mental health is not a destination but a process- its about how you drive, not where you're going." My main focus as your therapist is to provide you with a safe, comfortable and compassionate environment in order to support you and meet you where you are at in your journey, wherever that may be. Our alliance is of the utmost importance and I strive to form meaningful and strong therapeutic connections so that my clients can flourish.

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS - My passion for psychology comes from my genuine belief that we have the ability to not only overcome significant challenges, but to transform our lives.

I focus on helping clients better understand how past experiences, avoided emotions, and interpersonal patterns may be contributing to and maintaining their distress and suffering. Through building awareness in the context of a non-judgmental and unconditionally accepting therapeutic relationship, clients are able to develop more flexible and adaptive ways of coping, learn new ways of relating to others in their lives, develop skills, and experience deeper connection, acceptance, and respect for themselves and their emotions.

Areas I often work in are: trauma and abuse, relational issues, anxiety and stress, neurodiversity, grief, and spirituality.

It's in our nature to need connection and belonging. When we are in an intimate relationship, sometimes we fight, get discouraged and feel hopeless. We may feel lost and misunderstood. In our couple work, I will help you see the negative cycle that couples enter when they fight, identify the emotional needs and bring understanding and new patterns of communication that will bring satisfaction in your couple. During our individual journey of life, we experience challenges, negative events, losses and anxiety which can make us unhappy. Through our collaborative work, I will accompany and support you in finding connection and purpose.

My approach involves a collaborative process of building a genuine therapeutic relationship, defining goals and values, and addressing obstacles to growth.

Have you been called needy? Or been called cold/distant by people you’re in relationship with? Do you find you vacillate between feeling needy or emotionally shut down? These issues are based on, what psychologists call, insecure attachment styles. These are relationship styles that we subconsciously learn when we are young and take with us into adulthood.
