Anger Management Therapists in Okotoks, AB

Anxiety and depression are difficult to experience. Emotions are often overwhelming. These emotions could be anger, sadness or worry. Your struggles may have recently just started or have been there for years. I desire to journey alongside you through this difficult time. I am a Registered Psychologist with over 10 of experience in Mental health.

I specialize in providing Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), which helps individuals become aware of negative thought patterns and behaviours. This approach helps to increase feelings of confidence, and positive thinking. CBT paired with Mindfulness allows for clients to become aquatinted with their thoughts, and moods, while simultaneously developing a new relationship with them. This approach can benefit those who suffer form depression, anxiety, other mood disorders, anger issues or anyone who desires to have a stronger sense of happiness in their daily life. The approach can be modified for all ages and cognitive abilities.

Occasionally life presents individuals with diverse challenges which can result in adverse effects to one's overall well-being. In understanding clients challenges I take into account the emotional, mental, physical, social, cultural, and spiritual aspects of their being. Encompassing a holistic model of counselling I endeavour to validate and dignify clients experiences in a respectful compassionate manner. I join with individuals in exploring and confronting their challenges using a wide knowledge of counselling theory, skills, and techniques.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS * “ I can’t seem to shut my brain off”, “Why do I feel so anxious all the time?”, “ I actually don’t feel anything, I’m numb”. If any of these statements resonate with you and you want to explore them further I might be of help! I am a people person that truly believes in the power of human connection and therefore place a great importance on the right fit between a therapist and a client. My work is very much based on a collaborative approach because “You” know “You” the best. It’s important to me that you will feel comfortable and safe to explore and address any issues you are struggling with.

Hi, I’m Gio (they/them), and if you're reading this I'm assuming you're looking for a therapist. I hate to break it to you, but the "perfect" therapist doesn't exist. However, we could build a therapeutic relationship together that is the perfect solution to the reasons you're looking for a therapist. You might be feeling anxious, depressed, or scared - but you're also feeling ready for change. Try a free consultation with me and let's see if we'd make a good team to tackle some of those worries together.

Are you looking for a safer space to be, to learn, to explore and to heal. If so, we have a connection already, I am passionate about working with people who are experiencing the impacts of attachment wounds and trauma. I have considerable experience and a unique enthusiasm to work with trauma, sexual violence, relationship concerns, anxiety, self-esteem, anger and depression. If you want to have a better understanding of yourself , have skills to cope, and generally feel better; I can support you.

Struggling with a traumatic event, mental health and/ or addictions can feel like drowning in unseen waves; the waves of grief, anxiety, anger, fear, trauma, relational concerns, transitions, or self-worth. We try to soothe ourselves by acting out on ourselves, and others or engaging in behaviours that harm us and those we love. I believe that we can hold fragility and resilience, courage and fear, uncertainty and hope. You can begin the process of rebuilding and reclaiming all while staying afloat. Together, we will begin to anticipate those waves coming and not get pulled under but rather negotiate them with resounding courage.

Reduced Fees and Evening Availability- Currently a Registered Provisional Psychologist. The challenges life presents are REAL. The recent challenging times has created an opportunity for deep healing, connection and profound growth. The first step toward feeling better is simply reaching out for help. Humans are exceptionally strong and adaptive, but often we don’t recognize our own internal strengths and abilities when faced with life’s roadblocks.

Life can be tough, even at the best of times, and we can all use a little help! I am passionate about supporting children, teens and their parents create better connections, increase communication, build coping skills and of course bringing back the fun to the family. Along with my work with families, I also support individuals on their journey of self discovery, whether it is by examining their values, relationship patterns or gaining perspective.

Evening and weekend appointments available in person or virtual. I hold a deep seeded belief that we each are doing the very best that we can in any given moment. I believe no one is exempt from struggle and at times it is difficult to know how we got to this painful place, and at other times an event (trauma) takes place which can leave us not recognizing ourselves or our life. I offer a safe validating space to heal and rediscover how you want to show up in your life. If you are feeling overwhelmed, stuck or wanting support in any area of your life, please reach out to me. I would be honored to be a part of your healing journey.

Evening and weekend availability - We can all feel lost and overwhelmed by our emotions or get stuck in patterns of unhelpful thoughts and behaviours - when all we really crave is connection, support, and tools to help us show up more peacefully for ourselves and others. My experience is primarily with teenagers and adults facing challenges related to anxiety, stress, depression, interpersonal relationships, grief and loss, self-worth, & challenging life transitions. Together, we can explore how to help you gain better insight and overcome the barriers that are preventing you from accessing your authentic self.

I believe that every individual has a story. I also believe that every individual has been wounded along the way. My hope is to support those on their path to healing. Whether it is anxiety, depression, or other symptoms that may impact functioning, I believe that we can address underlying issues and find tools and determination to overcome those obstacles.

Sometimes we can feel overwhelmed or stuck, making the idea of being happy and free seem like an unattainable task. Maybe you are experiencing feelings, thoughts, or sensations that you do not understand, ultimately causing you distress, and are striving to work through your concerns. You may have experienced adverse circumstances, such as trauma, injury, or loss, and are looking to empower your inner survivor. Together, we can make growth, transformation, and hope a possibility!
