Welcome and thank you for reading about my practice. Therapy is a journey walked with another who has expertise in guiding the collaborative, respectful and curious exploration of our difficulties, with a purpose and end-goal in sight. I am thankful to have gained experience working with a broad range of mental health difficulties. In addition to working with those who have experienced trauma and substance use issues, I also values working with those who are struggling to manage stress, overwhelming emotions, depression, loneliness, anxiety, grief, spiritual crisis and life transitions

Has anxiety and depression become amplified for you with issues from the past resurfacing? Maybe you have been to counselling before but would like to try a more holistic approach; one that will teach you the tools needed to overcome feelings of sadness, dread and uncertainty? Often times, experiences buried from childhood and the past resurface as adults which can greatly affect the way we feel and our sense of purpose in the world. It isn’t until things get so uncomfortable, that we feel the only option available is to make a change. This isn’t always easy but reaching out for support, is the first and most important step.

We both know you are already doing the best you can. I believe my job is to meet you where you are at, honor the strengths you possess, and provide support, skills and information to support the next step in your journey. You are coming to my office with expertise in your own story and needs, and the most important thing to me is that you leave my office feeling heard, seen, respected and supported. My approach is eclectic, in that I pull from several evidence-based treatments and techniques and do my best to be flexible in how I pass this information on to you. Treatment needs to be effective and flexible.

Whether this is your first-time seeking support, or you are returning to therapy, I understand that you might feel unsure of what to expect or scared and hesitant to delve into your emotional experiences. My priority as your therapist is to provide an accepting space where you feel comfortable to explore your experiences and the guidance to do so safely.

You want 'it' to stop. Be it that small nagging feeling at the back of your mind, or something that has stopped you from living your life day-to-day. Whether you've already tried "pulling yourself up by the bootstraps", or you can't even express what you feel; 'it' persists. But it's not your fault.

I am an open minded therapist who believes in a collaborative and supportive experience. I work from an evidenced based model and pull strategies from a variety of different therapies to help clients experience success and achieve their goals. I also have a strong and diverse assessment/diagnosis background and am able to provide diagnostic clarity when needed, both from a learning and psychological perspective. I very much believe in the strengths and resiliency of my clients and am proud to assist them in their journey of healing and recovery.

Developing and maintaining relationships is important for living a fulfilling and meaningful life. However, relationships can also be difficult at times. Many of the people I support might be having heated arguments, unsure about their relationship, struggling with desire and intimacy, and have been hurt by a loss of trust. I also support loved ones who are looking to deepen their connection and get the most out of their lives with the people that matter most. In addition to supporting people with relationships, I have a focused interest in men's issues.

Are you feeling helpless, stressed, anxious, depressed, traumatized, grieving, struggling with OCD, parenting, relationship or other life issues? I’m here to tell you that I have your back and will walk the walk with you in solving these problems that life may have presented you. Is there also a possibility that you may be scared, overwhelmed or discouraged by the thought of attending therapy? Well, be rest assured that these kinds of feelings are normal whenever we consider making the tough changes, we so desire in our lives. Congratulations, you have taken the right first steps by summing up the courage to seek help and support!

New to therapy? Nothing to worry about! Sometimes it's hard making sense and to talk about our feelings, experiences and patterns of behaviours. Empathetic by nature, I'm a progressive therapist, who uses a strength-based approach to help you and/or your partner achieve emotional balance and optimal mental health. My job is to ultimately help you feel comfort, acceptance, and to listen without judgement. Some days we'll laugh and realize those light 'ah ha!' moments while other days we will work hard to uncover those deeply personal truths. If you'd like to know more visit me at: alphacounselling.ca

Hello, and welcome to my page :) I have worked in the mental health field for over 15 years specializing in developmental trauma and issues related to trauma. Things like anxiety, depression, isolation, grief, and difficult relationships are often just the most noticeable symptoms of something more deeply rooted. If you feel like you keep getting stuck or notice the same fears and patterns come up during stressful times, it may be because the root of the problem hasn’t been found or processed.

Do you find yourself avoiding difficult situations and struggling to break free of unhealthy patterns? My goal is to customize therapy to each client’s needs to help them make meaningful and long-lasting change, by identifying new tools and perspectives for familiar challenges and supporting clients in using these tools in real life situations. I believe with the right tools and support everyone is able to make the changes they want to see in their life. I am passionate about helping you find the right skills to make your change. I also offer psychoeducational, giftedness, adult ADHD, personality and intelligence assessments.

Do you or your child struggle with learning? Do you or your child require accommodations at school, college or university? Do you or your child experience emotional, behavioural or social difficulties? Are you interested in understanding yours or your child's learning profile? Do you think your child is a gifted learner? I specialize in psycho-educational and psychological assessments of children, adolescents, and adults. I assist individuals with gaining a better understanding of their learning, intellectual functioning, psychological and/or mental health, personality, and behaviours.

If you are feeling overwhelmed with a problem or concern that you are not able to cope with on your own, there’s help and support available. I’m here to help you find healthy ways to cope and improve your life. Life can be confusing and seem unfair when things don't go as you had hoped. The good news is that things can get better and you don't have to do this alone! If you are feeling any of these we need to talk: Anxious, Overwhelmed, Unfulfilled, Sad, Lonely, Depressed, Having a Hard Time In Relationships, Struggling with Past Trauma or Abuse, Always Feeling Angry and Having a Hard Time Controlling your emotions.

Experience has taught me that this is the really hard part for you. You're likely feeling awful in some way. Maybe something in your life has become too much, you're feeling out of control and desperate, or you might be stuck in some way and want ideas on how to move forward. You are browsing therapist profiles and eager for the right support. What qualities and qualifications can you feel confident in? How will you know that it will work and is right for you? What if you're missing out on just the right kind of therapist that will really and truly make a difference for you. It's a lot.

Welcome! My name is Elaine and I am Counselling Therapist and Certified Music Therapist. Through a unique blend of counselling and music therapy, I help individuals who are looking to, explore and understand their emotions in a safe, non-judgmental, and nontraditional space, adjust to change, no matter how big or small, utilize music intentionally to improve overall wellness, and find more purpose and meaning in their lives.

The heart of my practice is believing that the client is the expert of themselves. I believe that everyone has the answers within themselves and that my role, along with creative expression, is to help you find those answers. Combining counselling and creative expression is a way for clients to develop a better understanding of their inner self as well as address underlying conflicts.

Hi! I’m Dr. Michelle. I have a PhD in Counselling Psychology from the University of Calgary and am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta. I completed my residency in Los Angeles, California where I supervised doctoral students in addition to providing psychotherapy. In my practice I work with people managing: depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and chronic health conditions. I also provide couple therapy and address the cross-over between individual health conditions in relationships.

Our journey in life is filled with obstacles, twists, and turns that can feel overwhelming. Stress and anxiety are more prevalent than ever before, and with all the ways we have to connect with other humans, we've never felt so isolated. Most of us need some help along the way - a navigator for our journey. I admire the courage it takes to seek this help and I’m confident that I can effectively guide you toward improved mental health and wellbeing. Often, mental health concerns are not so much the result of distorted views of the world; the views are merely incomplete.

My approach integrates my training in CBT, MBCT, and the Gottman Method for couples counseling, creating a therapeutic space where you can feel truly heard and understood. I am committed to working collaboratively with you to build resilience, foster positive change, and support your personal growth. I'm here to help you turn challenges into opportunities for healing and growth.
