I am Dr. Alan McAllister. I have over 40 years of experience providing psychological services. I work with the dedicated team at Attentive Mind Therapy to provide individual, couple, and family counselling. We integrate gold standard, evidence-based cognitive-behavioral therapies with innovative mind/body techniques like hypnosis, meditation, biofeedback, and neurofeedback. From navigating stressful situations to fostering healthier relationships, tackling work challenges, and overcoming emotional and mental health obstacles, we are here to guide and support you on your path to optimal functioning and a more fulfilling life.

Do you experience unwanted feelings, emotions, sensations, attitudes, or pains without necessarily being aware of the underlying causes of them? Do you experience ongoing symptoms of anxiety or depression? Have you faced the loss of a loved one or friend or suffered from an incident (divorce, car accident, an assault, etc.,) which continues to cause you ongoing emotional or physical pain? I use a client-centred approach to guiding clients in addressing and releasing unwanted emotional or behavioural after-effects of life events such as grief/loss, injuries, illness, relationship concerns and other painful life experiences.

I am now accepting new clients. I can provide behavioural, relational and strength-based counselling for children and youth. My activity-based learning introduces and reinforces the concepts in a non-threatening, fun and engaging manner. I utilize books, games and videos to teach the strategies and skills that make learning these new tools fun.

My primary goal in counselling is to support clients in their understanding of self. Recognition of your individual dignity, value and unique experiences allows you to journey towards stronger mental health. Even difficult times can support growth, new found knowledge and strength and potential. Counselling allows me to help you recognize and enhance your own power to thrive and/or heal. Reflective practice and careful listening allows me to see and hear the pieces of your story that you may be too close to notice.

I am a therapist and counselor with training in Neurofeedback, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Gestalt therapy, and the Expressive Arts. My approach is client-centered and I work with empathy and compassion to help my clients find new strategies when old patterns aren't working anymore. I have 20 years experience providing therapy and deep understanding to people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges and other life issues. In addition to my clinical skills, I have years of meditation practice and experience teaching the mindfulness skills that can reduce stress and generate a new perspective on life.

My philosophy of treatment is to listen deeply to what has happened. I ask pertinent questions, not to judge what you have experienced, but to assist me in understanding what has happened and how it is affecting you now. We will embark on a journey together to unravel the reasons and answers that have eluded you so far. I use a client-centred approach, which means that you are the expert and I am the assistant. I will not try to fix you, but together, we will deconstruct what has happened and work towards creating the outcomes that you want.

I support women, students, & LGBTQ folx with anxiety, depression, adhd, trauma, disorderly eating, relationship issues, life transitions, addiction, burn out, self-sabotage, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. I have a relaxed office environment where we can chat about what you're experiencing and find healthy strategies to help you navigate your symptoms and achieve your goals.

Allyson (and NorthStar Counselling Services) supports a wholistic approach to mental health: mind, body and spirit. Services are offered to children, youth and adults. Some goals may include moving from: confusion to clarity, fear to trust, anger to understanding, doubt to confidence, and resistance to acceptance. As a therapist, it's my responsibility to create a safe, non-judgmental space while both joy and suffering are explored.

I am a clinical forensic psychologist who does individual therapy and assessment. I have a passion for mental health, enjoy meeting new clients, and I like to help people figure out the cause of their distress. I focus on providing a safe and confidential space for clients to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. I strive to be approachable, attentive, and warm while collaborating with my clients to create a genuine relationship. Providing strategies and tools to help clients live a more productive and fulfilling life is truly rewarding, and I love seeing my clients meet their treatment goals.

No one escapes life’s challenges and they can leave you feeling stuck. Having a safe space to land and process our experiences is something I am honoured to get to do with you. I like to think of myself as a guide; supporting you along your journey but empowering you to have the tools, strategies and skills to one day make it on your own. Embarking on a healing journey can feel overwhelming and alone, but we are here so you do not have to walk that road alone. A study by Gabor Mate revealed that trauma without validation or a compassionate witness goes unprocessed, and that is what Danielle offers in the counselling room.

Have you lost someone or something important in your life? Perhaps you’ve experienced an unwanted change or one that is not what you anticipated. From losing a loved one to changes in relationships, career, or other life circumstances, life can feel harder than it once was. Sadness, anxiety, overwhelm, or feeling “stuck” make it difficult to cope and move forward. It can feel like no one sees or understands your struggles. But there is hope. As a therapist who has navigated my own life transitions, I support you in finding your way through this wilderness experience. Together we will work on a plan to help you adjust and grow.

Currently Waitlisting New Clients - Are you in a place where something’s not feeling right and it’s time for a change? Perhaps you want to reduce anxiety and stress. Or maybe you’re tired of being held back by feeling “not good enough.” Or you want to improve relationships with friends, loved ones, and co-workers. You might not even be able to put a finger on what’s wrong, but you’ve reached the point where you feel it’s time to reach out for help. You are not alone.

Have you suffered trauma and wonder if it’s possible to heal? Are you anxious and worried, struggling to cope? Do you push people away before they hurt you? Or chase after someone, terrified to lose them? Do you question your worth, sure that you will never be enough? Have you ever wondered “is there hope for me”? YES! There is hope! It is possible to heal, to learn how to have healthier relationships, to feel good about yourself instead of feeling bad. You can learn how to manage emotions so that anxiety doesn’t stop you from doing things you want to do. You CAN gain more control of your life and emotions and feel more confident!

My experience includes working with, but not limited to, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, self-esteem, trauma/PTSD, anger management, and crisis. Additionally I have professional experience working with first responders, the LGBT community, forensic clients, sex workers and victims of human trafficking. As well as several years working directly with female mental health needs and I have become attuned to the unique needs and challenges that this population faces.

I imagine you arrived at this page because you or someone you care about is going through some difficult times. It takes courage to reach out and seek help; I hope to make this a little easier for you by providing the information you need to access my services. Acceptance and change are the key principles of my approach. This means helping clients to gain insight into their problems, identifying the things they have the power to change and developing willingness and skills to accept the things that are not in your control. My focus is to help you to build skills and apply strategies to facilitate positive change.

In challenging times, it is easier to feel stuck, emotionally overwhelmed and somewhat confused. Having an opportunity to be heard, deeply understood, in a caring and non-judgemental way, will give you the opportunity to strengthening and/or re-activating your natural tendency to grow and heal. My therapy is done through a holistic approach in the sense that the mind is seen as part of the body; the notion of felt-meaning is central. This view has been particularly useful in working not only with those who are seeking help to deal with affective-emotional issues, but also with those who are struggling with more physical aspects.

I am looking for motivated clients who are willing to take action to resolve whatever needs to change in their life. My typical clients are looking for relief from stress, anxiety, depression, negative emotions, or difficult life situations. Some of them are struggling with compulsive behaviours and feel out of control. Others are in a relationship but things are not as good as they can be and they want more. Some of my clients are just looking to talk to someone who listens well, validates them and gives them another perspective. Sometimes they feel stuck and need tools, support and encouragement to help them move forward.

I work alongside adults looking for relief from new stressors or long-standing challenges. My specializations include psychological trauma/PTSD and addiction. I also help folks who are experiencing life transitions, abuse, or general mental health concerns. In addition to client work, I offer consultation to mental health professionals to help address their concerns and make reasoned ethical and clinical decisions in their practice.
