Hello! I’m Mike, and I provide therapy for teenagers, adults, and families. I also provide psychoeducational assessments. Whether we’re teens or adults, we’re constantly working out who we are, what we want, and how to manage the challenges life throws at us. Sometimes that can be difficult, and we can feel overwhelmed with sadness, stress, anxiety, or other concerns. Sometimes we cope with these things in unhealthy ways that hurt ourselves or the people we care about. Confronting those feelings and habits can be incredibly powerful, and can help us grow into the people we want to become.

At Tutum, we understand the weight of challenges faced by young individuals grappling with self-harm, suicidal ideation, anxiety, and depression. With expertise and empathy, we offer a guiding hand through these turbulent times.

Life is messy and there is no one solution that works in all situations. I work with children and families to address and meet their needs—wherever they are at along their unique journey. In my practice, I work with children (5-17 years old) and their families, providing either individual or family therapy. Common presenting themes, include: parent-children relationship concerns, intergenerational trauma, violence/aggression, and emotional/behavioural dysregulation. Common goals may include: increased communication skills, safety planning, psycho-education, and coping strategies.

I offer a genuine, direct approach to adolescents and young adults in an individual setting who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, OCD, self-harm, and other life challenges. I aim to empower clients to live the life they want to live. I practice with humor, care and strive to challenge the thoughts that haunt people and hold them back.

I have over 20 years experience helping people accomplish their goals in regards to mental wellness. I help individuals, couples and families using research based methods and can incorporate faith/spirituality into treatment if requested. I find treatment plans and interventions are best when they are tailored to match client’s individual needs. Since a strong therapeutic relationship is key, I help clients explore strengths while empowering them to work towards growth and outcomes. Although our past can influence our present, it does not dictate the future.

It is said that tough times don't last, but tough  people do. In the journey of life, good times empower you with confidence while challenging times build your resilience. Christina has the ability to empathize and connect quickly with her clients offering support, hope and realistic solutions. The primary goal is to bring compassion, acceptance, and a sense of self as she offers a guiding hand to clients in their journey of personal discovery and growth. She also aims to ensure a safe space, free of conflict, to help clients, couples, parents, co-workers, partners, or family members to come to a common understanding & agreement.

When it comes to working with children, youth, and young adults, the most common story I hear is that they do not feel seen or understood. Without feeling safe they can become stuck in a continuous loop of fight or flight responses. This can lead to meltdowns, avoidance, aggression, and risk-taking behaviours. Understanding that they are doing the best they can, I aim to help young people thrive within systems that do not always support living outside the “standard box.” All I ask is that you be curious to try something new together to see what it feels like to be your true self and live the life that matters most to you!

As a trauma therapist, Natalie guides clients in a direction of understanding and compassion through a process of reconfiguration of the self, helping clients discover core values and explore new ways to connect with life and relationships after trauma. Natalie’s approach to counselling involves considering the many factors that contribute to a person’s well-being. This includes exploring where thoughts, emotions, and behaviours come from, and examining social conditions and cultural factors that play a major role in health and disease.

Life is challenging; remember you are not alone. It is possible manage the challenges with self awareness and support (clinicians, friends and family). I enjoy supporting individuals, couples, children, and youth in diverse areas including bully/harassment (workplace and school), burnout management, emotional regulation (depression and anxiety), self–development, and self-understanding. I also specialize in psychological assessments of adults, youths, and children to aid insight into their studies, personality, behaviours, and psychological functioning.

Starting therapy is the beginning of changing one’s life and an end to suffering alone. I am very passionate about my work and appreciate that therapy is not a "one size fits all" approach - everyone's story is unique.

Finding the right therapist can be overwhelming and sometimes it takes meeting more than one person before settling on the right person for you. Working with a therapist, whether for a brief encounter or a long collaboration, is a journey. My goal is to ensure that your very first contact with me is a positive and helpful one. I have advanced training and expertise in working with toddlers, children and adolescents as a registered play therapist. Working from a developmentally-informed perspective I collaborate with parents so they can better understand and best support their children.

The childhood years and the child-rearing years are some of the most wonderful, but also the most challenging stages of life. Even in the most difficult moments, we are doing the absolute best we can, given our circumstance and the skills we have.

I have been doing assessments for over 15 years in school settings and private practice. Consequently, I have a thorough, in-depth and broad understanding of the education system in Alberta. This provides me a unique awareness of effective and efficient strategies to support a child's learning success. I have worked with students ranging in ages from pre-school to young adults. It is important for individuals to understand their learning profile so effective and efficient strategies and modifications can be made accordingly, to enhance the individuals ability to meet their learning potential and support student advocacy.

I am passionate and skilled in working with clients who have experiences of trauma, PTSD, family conflict, marital conflict, parent-child issues, emotional or behavioural disturbances, depression, anxiety, and relationship problems. I enjoy working with clients who are interested in making long-lasting changes and improvements to their life.

I treat anxiety and depression. These conditions often stem from trauma either from childhood or as an adult. I also work with couples via an Emotionally Focused Therapy which is an approach to couples therapy based on attachment. I believe that an integrative approach, focusing on the whole person, as well as their significant relationships which I believe comprise one's total health and wellness.

Have you recently had a distressing experience, does it feel like your coping skills are maxed out? Are you having difficulties sleeping? Are you haunted by traumatic experiences or relational wounds? If you've said yes to any of these questions it may be time to seek out help and accountability in a confidential relationship in which you can strengthen your resources, increase your resiliency and reconnect with inner purpose and joy.
