Psychological Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Alberta

I work with adults and teens with low mood, low motivation, worry, low self-esteem, academic and work stress, family tension, trauma, and more. My goal is to work together to achieve your personal goals for change. I offer evening, weekend, and weekday appointments in-person at Mountain Ridge Health Centre in Lethbridge and phone appointments across Alberta. In addition to my clinical work, I also provide psychoeducation assessments for students experiencing academic challenges.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and holistic, and is intended to help you build a better, healthier relationship with yourself and others. We’ll work together to discover ways to heal from mental illness and cope with life’s challenges. I have years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults (including couples) as an educator and therapist. I help people deal with a variety of challenges (e.g., anxiety, OCD, depression); I am trained in individual trauma therapy, and I work with individuals to find meaning in life and live theirs to its fullest despite the adversity they may have experienced.

Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing - especially the humor part! Which is why they are benchmarks of my clinical practice. Combined together, the healing force created is a 'game changer' in people's lives. My approach to psychotherapy is person centered (congrats, you are unique!

Do you struggle with symptoms of trauma, anxiety, depression, or just feel lost overall? You don't have to deal with it alone. Psychotherapy can be helpful in overall mental well-being. Hi! I am Smita Gupta, a Registered Psychologist, and welcome to the Oasis Psychological Services.

I'm a Registered Psychologist in Calgary, AB and owner of Grey Psychology. I offer psychotherapy and psychological assessment services to individuals who are experiencing a variety of challenges. Whether you are navigating a depressive episode, daily anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief/loss, or questions around identity, my approach will involve a systematic understanding of the core issue, identification of a meaningful goal, and the use of evidence-based therapeutic techniques to support you in overcoming barriers and realizing your potential. Encouragement is central to my approach. For more information, please visit: greypsychology.ca

I have been doing assessments for over 15 years in school settings and private practice. Consequently, I have a thorough, in-depth and broad understanding of the education system in Alberta. This provides me a unique awareness of effective and efficient strategies to support a child's learning success. I have worked with students ranging in ages from pre-school to young adults. It is important for individuals to understand their learning profile so effective and efficient strategies and modifications can be made accordingly, to enhance the individuals ability to meet their learning potential and support student advocacy.

Chances are good if you're reading this profile, you're looking for some professional help. Whether it be individual counselling to help you through a major depressive episode, family therapy to defuse tension and endless fighting, or a consultation about your anxious toddler, depressed adolescent or teenager's self-harming behaviour, Carla's down-to-earth approach to therapy will have you comfortable in minutes and moving forward in a solution focused direction that YOU (not Carla) want to go.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs last? Maybe you are just not feeling like yourself. Perhaps you are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how you are supposed to manage all the things on your plate. Pushing away your own needs and living in survival mode can lead to long term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.

Are you in a long-term relationship marked with stress, anger and frustration, high conflict, difficult and disrespectful communication, sexual and intimacy problems, and ongoing emotional hurts? Are memory and attention difficulties affecting your current functioning? Perhaps you could benefit from having an expert who understand your needs and assist you in the process of changing old patterns and develop more helpful interpersonal relating skills and better cognitive health. For more than 25 years, I worked overseas and locally helping individuals and couples from different cultures solve their problems.

At our practice, we support clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, ADHD, OCD, and trauma. We also offer assessment and diagnostic services. Life can be hard sometimes, and my clients often tell me that they have so much going on in their lives that they're struggling to manage their emotions. Many of my clients identify themselves as being helpers and caregivers and are having a hard time finding balance in their lives. If you're tired of managing alone and want to find some peace or clarity in your life, or feel better emotionally, you've come to the right place. Couples therapy is also offered at EW&S.

Psychotherapy creates a safe place where issues and difficulties can be put on the table and looked at - with no judgement, with patience and courage. My job is to help you face and accept yourself, to take responsibility for your self in a way that safeguards your integrity. Psychotherapy is private. Psychotherapy should help you look closely at the tough stuff. It is not always easy but it should honour both your humanness and your dignity. There is a Paul Preston out there that advocates spanking (that's not me).

Over the past ten years I have worked in various psychological environments including secure mental health facilities, hospitals, schools, and private practice settings. My personal experiences with debilitating anxiety, depression, and ADHD over the years ultimately led to my decision to become a clinical psychologist. Experiencing these conditions first hand and personally utilizing their various treatment methods, adds an additional layer of expertise and understanding that surpasses what can be learned from a textbook or classroom setting.

Feeling stuck? Over it? Ready to focus on wellness and well-being in your life? If you are looking for a safe, compassionate, accepting space to explore historical and present day troubles and concerns this could be it. I have had the honour of accompanying people on their journey to wellness for over 30 years, and am always inspired by the strength and resilience of the human spirit. My work has taken me to a number of different settings, including residential treatment centers for behavioural and emotional difficulties in children and addictions in young adults, First Nations communities, schools and private practice.

I have expertise working with children, adolescents, couples and families. This includes work with high risk youth, work with children who have been abused or neglected, and work with families in crisis. I have extensive Court experience, and have been appointed as a expert in the areas of counseling and clinical psychology. I have been appointed as a Parenting Expert in clinical interventions and custody evaluations. I have supported couples in developing skills to strengthen their relationships. I have experience assisting children, adolescents, and adults in dealing with anxiety, depression, Post traumatic stress disorder, Bipolar disorder, and other psychiatric diagnoses.

My clients range from those with relatively non-complicated daily issues to those suffering from significant trauma, depressed mood, or other concerns. I also have clients who would simply like to investigate their inner world and identify their strengths or areas for change. My philosophy is that although sometimes an impetus for change may come externally, it is always in an individual's control on how they may want to negotiate changing circumstances.

“I am committed to your mental health and wellness.” Through building awareness in an unconditionally accepting therapeutic relationship, my clients are able to develop adaptive ways of coping, learn new ways of relating to others in their lives, and to experience deeper connection, acceptance and respect for themselves and their emotions. I take pride in being authentic and transparent throughout the therapy process and I am passionate about working with people to explore their challenges, strengths and opportunities for growth and change. My style has been described as: Compassionate, Warm, Engaging, Kind, and Committed.

With more than 20 years of experience in the human services field, my practice focuses on working with individuals and their families to develop a treatment plan that best fits their individual needs. All assessment and counselling services are customized to meet the specific needs of my clients and a collaborative approach to service provision ensures consistent intervention and access to relevant community resources. In addition, I consult with community organizations to plan, goal set, and optimally meet the needs of their clientele and provide optimal community services.
