Therapists Beginning With B in Alberta

I am a queer practitioner with a passion for working with 2SLGBTQ+ individuals. I am a Registered Psychologist and am available for a free 15-minute phone consultation. Everyone that walks into the counselling room has the ability to create positive change. You are the expert on your own life and have the potential to grow and achieve your personal goals. It is my role as a counsellor to guide you to find and identify your own strengths and potential. I can offer insight and new skills to enhance the strengths you already possess while identifying and changing the things that may be holding you back.

A straight-shooter type of therapist, I approach therapy like a regular person who goes through the same things many clients do and is not immune to struggles (anxieties, insecurities, stress, adversity, challenges at times) and focuses on constructing a real, honest down to earth conversation about how to engage progress through the grey zones and uncertainties in life. I have worked well with high performance professionals in the past, but can be very adaptable with almost anyone. I try to avoid textbook advice (unless it’s truly warranted), I give real workable suggestions or points, based on what works in a practical sense.

Having difficulties coping with stress? Perhaps you have already tried several ways to manage life stressors, but still find yourself feeling anxious, having repetitive thoughts, feeling worthless, clashing with others, doubting or even being overly critical of yourself. You don't have to struggle alone anymore. All it takes is a little courage and the willingness to be vulnerable. As your counsellor, I would be honoured to provide you with a compassionate space to explore these personal issues. Together, we can create solutions that are unique to your personality, aspirations, values, cultural upbringing and life circumstances.

Welcome! I am a Clinical Psychologist specializing in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I have 20+ years of experience within both the public and private practice settings, with extensive experience treating depression and anxiety disorders. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a very collaborative process, with a focus on understanding your difficulties and finding strategies to make the changes you want. As a CBT specialist, I value the vast research that supports the effectiveness of CBT, in combination with the 20+ years experience I have providing individual and group CBT, as well as training future Psychologists.

“The work is a commitment to be with people – not pushing them from behind or leading them from the front”. I am here to meet you where you are at – at your own pace – to deal with hardship, build resilience, and make lasting change in your life.

I’m Mel, a registered psychologist passionately working with girls and young women (13-25 yrs of age). I have a keen interest in helping individuals struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, perfectionism & performance issues. I like to build confidence, clarity & courage.

Hi, I'm Hayley, and I love hearing your story. Many people believe therapy to be a one sided conversation with minimal opportunity to interact or experience one another as real people. I aim to give my authentic self to my clients where I invite them to share their thoughts, experiences, and emotions. My clients appreciate my ability to create a safe and relaxed environment, with a healthy dose of humour. I want to help you find healing and make the changes in your life you are looking for, while you enjoy the process as much as possible.

At Country Counselling, we are here to serve you! We are doctoral level clinicians ready to assist you with your treatment goals.

Choosing a therapist can feel like a daunting task; I do not believe that therapy is one size fits all and hope that the following information will help you decide whether we might be a good fit! My clients describe me as non-judgmental, genuine, warm, funny, enthusiastic and honest. I believe that we only have one shot at this thing called life and that we all deserve to live that life to the fullest (and I would love to hear about what that might mean to you)! In the words of Mary Oliver, "What will you do with your one wild and precious life?"

Throughout my 13 years working in the mental health field, I have learned that the process of therapy is as unique as the people who choose to take this brave journey into themselves. Challenges and difficulties are a reality of life, and therapy is geared toward supporting you as you address uncomfortable feelings or other Psychological needs as you move toward relief. As a non-judgemental member of your team, we will look at using the skills and strengths you already have to become more present and aware in your life. Because wellness is different for everyone, please know that no struggles are too small for therapy.
