Online Counselling for Alberta

You want Positive Results and waking up every day and dealing with the challenges of life can be tough enough, let alone if your dealing with the challenging issues of past/current trauma, depression, relational struggles, separation, thoughts of divorce, dealing with grief and loss or just plain feeling stuck in life and not being able to move forward. Any one of those issues in life can prevent you from attaining your personal hopes and dreams. You, as an individual, or couple, living in Calgary, Cochrane, or Airdrie deserve the fighting chance to make changes in your personal life or marriage that will allow you walk in NEW LIFE.

Asking for help and making changes can be difficult - your courage in reaching out is the first step in moving towards the life you want to live. It is my privilege to walk alongside you as I support you to let go of what is holding you back and to embrace your very best self. I am excited to know you deeply and to and celebrate you as you embark on this journey!

HI! My name is Imane, I am a Moroccan-Canadian woman, with a dream to one day make a difference in the world through mental health and psychology. I completed my masters in Psychological Sciences in Duluth, Minnesota. Following, I decided to move somewhere colder (because -30 was not enough), fast forward a year and here I am, a Provisional Psychologist in Edmonton! I am dedicated to providing mental health services to all individuals regardless of race, religion, color or creed. I believe that all people deserve compassion. I strive to incorporate cultural competency and unconditional positive regard in my work.

I favor a laid back approach to the therapeutic process. My space is colorful, full of plants, and usually has an album humming in the background. I want to create an atmosphere that inspires you to explore your concerns with curiosity, not one that feels like it has expectations. Whether you want to tweak things here and there, or you want to dive as deep as possible, let's do it! Because everyone is unique, I don't have a one-size-fits-all approach. I want to figure out what works best for YOU, in a way that actually feels good. Our struggles can be our greatest teachers, we just have to learn how to listen to them :)

We practice using a cutting edge model of therapy designed to re-pattern the disorganization in the lower brain centers, which helps get to the heart of the healing process for clients. Life presents us with many challenges and we believe we all deserve to have someone in our corner. I truly believe in the importance of working collaboratively.

Any client is ideal, anyone who needs help is more than welcome to ask for it. I would listen to anyone, and then let them know if I have the expertise to help or not. That’s one main reason that my first session is always FREE. We not only talk about their issues and goals, but also about their strengths and capabilities. Life is not only about what’s going wrong, it’s good to see things that are going well. I work with individuals, couples and also families. Ask your insurance to see if they cover CCC counselling sessions. Call or text today to start your sessions as early as tomorrow. There’s no waitlist.

Are you feeling stuck? Are you frustrated with life but don’t know why or how to change it? Are you in conflict with your partner or spouse? Does it keep getting worse the more you try to fix it? Are you feeling depressed or down, or overly anxious and stressed? Are you looking for relief and don’t know where to start or what to do next? Whether your challenges are interpersonal, financial, emotional in nature, or related to life transitions, it is normal to sometimes feel that your toolbox could use a few more tools to help you when life gets overwhelming.

It can be difficult to go to counselling, particularly for the first time. Finding a therapist that you feel comfortable with is an important, and at times challenging, process. You likely want someone that can give you direction or tools, but also you connect with and feel supported by. I too feel this is important and strive to provide you with an experience that is both warm / caring AND competent/ knowledgeable. For many years I have worked with individual's and couple's concerns in this manner. I specialize in helping individuals or couples move forward, heal their pain, feel happier and find more peace.

As a certified counselor, I bring the world of my experience and professional training into therapy. If you' re struggling in a relationship, working through conflict, needing to improve communication skills, then Upfront Counseling Solutions is the answer. Everyone struggles in life and at times there is a need for additional help to process a challenging situation or work on a relationship. Counselling also helps focusing on life goals and personal growth. Allow me to step into your world and together we can find the courage to changes and move forward in life's journey. Counselling is offered in person, via video or phone.

Life transitions, daily stressors, trauma, and mental illnesses can negatively influence the way we think, feel, and behave. These factors can cause us to feel "stuck" in old habits and patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that no longer serve us. I recognize that when we are stuck, it is difficult to make that first step towards change and reach out for support. Hence, I acknowledge you for making the first step into finding what works best for you. I understand that you want to take charge of your mental and emotional pain so that you can unlock your utmost potential.

Matt Shandro has worked as a registered psychologist in the province of Alberta since 2009. He provides counselling and psychotherapy to teens, adults, couples, families and groups.

In life, we can find ourselves challenged in ways we did not expect or anticipate. Life can become difficult and overwhelming to manage at times. In such moments, it can be helpful to seek support from someone who might help unearth possibilities and support you in finding healthier and adaptive ways to manage and cope. It is my belief that developing a strong, trusting, and collaborative therapeutic relationship is the cornerstone to therapeutic success. Through mutual respect, genuine empathy, and trust, individuals can be seen and heard, and encouraged to create the changes they want in their lives.

Are you living in 2 worlds as a South Asian Canadian, hiding parts of your identity? This conflict leaves you experiencing guilt, shame, anxiety, a loss of autonomy and self, as you walk the tightrope of everybody's expectations of you. Growing up in a home environment that is completely different from your outside world can drastically impact your well-being and leave you asking “Who am I”? This can be exacerbated by enmeshed family dynamics. Culturally using your voice and setting boundaries feels selfish at first - but we can get you there together. You will learn and unlearn things as you proudly grow into your authentic self.

I work with clients experiencing challenges in relationships, increased stress, and adjusting to change. Clients seeking to improve relationships, manage stress more effectively and adapt to change or loss in their lives will find a good fit with the services I provide. I also work with clients in areas such as improving confidence and self worth and decision making.

Life has its many challenges, it can be messy, and complicated. Maybe you feel stuck, overwhelmed, angry, lost, and not sure what to do. Maybe you are not able to respond to people or situations in your life the way you would like to. You want more freedom, choice, control, and clarity. You want to feel less weighed down, and more relaxed in your body and life. You want a healthier more connected relationship with yourself and others. Curious if counselling would be helpful? A safe, collaborative therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable sharing your story, being your authentic self, feeling heard, and seen can help.

As a mom, you want to feel fulfilled, grounded, and whole but motherhood has left you feeling exhausted, burnt-out, and riddled with shame and self-doubt. You know that you want to build a better life for yourself and for your children, you just feel so stuck, falling into the same patterns again and again, constantly wondering if you will feel this heaviness forever, worrying about the impact you may have on your kid’s well-being.

I believe that psychology is a tool for solving problems and working through change. In my career, I have helped many people 'get unstuck', overcoming emotional difficulties and working through trauma, grief, and loss. I also regularly work with couples and families, helping with challenges including marital conflict and parenting difficulties. My approach is integrative, and tailored to each person that I meet. I draw upon a number of evidenced-based approaches, including emotion-focused therapy, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, experiential therapy, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy.

As a practicing mental health professional of eighteen years, my aim is to continue to provide my clients with short-term proven therapeutic approaches that will improve their life at an affordable price. Are you feeling lost and things seem hopeless? Do you feel your marriage should be better? Are your emotions taking over? Are you experiencing stress-related issues in your relationships, workplace, or in your everyday activities? Now is the time to talk confidentially with a therapist who is supportive and non-judgmental. I offer Convient Telehealth Webcam sessions anywhere in Alberta and BC at a low rate.
