We serve children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, in-person and online, across Alberta and Nunavut.
If you're struggling with mental health, relationship, or addiction challenges, it can feel like your life is out of control and falling apart. It's not uncommon to feel overwhelmed, scared, hopeless, helpless and alone. Or to feel numb. We all experience occasional difficulties in response to life’s challenges, but there are times when we feel particularly stuck or discouraged and we need some extra support. It can be difficult to share your most private experiences with someone new, especially if those experiences have caused you shame, and we have a deep respect for those who are willing to pursue counselling.

With over 10 years working with families clinically, I strive to provide tools for children and youth to support their main concern.
Daytime appointments. Are you a parent looking for support for your child or teen? Is their anxiety, anger, experience with separation, grief or self-esteem eating away at them or making home life hard? Do they seem overwhelmed or shut down and not themselves? You may find yourself thinking about it all the time, researching tools to try, asking for advice from friends and family, wondering if what you're doing is enough, and even whether they are going to be able to move past this. If this is what you are feeling you are not alone. Many parents feel overwhelmed, worry about their kids, and wish to make their troubles go away.

Adolescents and children actually look forward to therapy with Nicole in the SMART room and do not miss their devices.
In SMART therapy clients are directed to REGULATE through MOVEMENT and as a result START TALKING so problem solving and healing can happen. Therapy is provided in a specially designed room with specialized equipment, such as arial swings, spinning, weighted blankets, balance beams, fitness balls, person sized pea-pod, body socks, dolphin pillows, and safe cubby holes, and tents. Movement, rest and safety is used to support natural ways of regulating bodies and emotions, facilitate parent- child attachment-building and allow for embodied processing of hurtful and traumatic experiences. It is not at all like traditional play therapy.
