I work with a range of clients, including the LGBTQ+ community, from different cultures, backgrounds and perspectives. I am a sex positive, poly-aware therapist who works with and respects all relationships. If you're feeling stuck (life or career), grieving, depressed or anxious I am happy to work with you. I specialize in life transitions, relationships, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem.

I work in individual psychotherapy with adults, who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, isolation, burnout syndrome, low self-esteem, high levels of stress, communication and relationship issues. I am passionate about working in therapy by building a strong therapeutic relationship within a safe and supportive environment, to help individuals gain insight into their functioning, and provide new ways of seeing themselves. I have extensive clinical experience helping individuals with chronic illnesses to better cope with their health issues and the emotional process related to the acceptance of the disease and medical treatments.

I am here to help. I embrace the "4C's" of my profession, an acronym that stands for caring, compassionate, competent, and well connected. You deserve the best, and that is all I offer. My ideal client is someone serious about improving, growing, and overcoming (or least better managing) whatever it is you need help with now. Please note that I live in Calgary and I offer live in-person sessions here, but I do see clients across Ontario via high-quality video software.

Sometimes life can take unexpected turns and we can find ourselves feeling lost, wanting something to be different. We may be feeling anxious, irritable, depressed, and we may be having some difficulty coping effectively. Sometimes we may need an objective perspective to help recalibrate our inner compass to better navigate our way to a more meaningful, purposeful, and fulfilling life.

Yes, I am accepting new clients - French/English - My name is Denis and I love helping people who want to improve their lives that are dealing with a difficult life transition, mental, emotional, cognitive struggles such as anxiety or depression. When your painful experiences and wounds are left unattended, they are likely to contaminate your life and relationships. I propose to work collaboratively with you to develop treatment goals for healing and personal growth. I also work with couples, to help them identify reactive patterns and improve communication, intimacy, and satisfaction in their relationship.

Do you feel overwhelmed, stressed and depressed, hating your job and fighting with a partner or a family that refuses to adopt your views? Do you struggle to be the person you want to be? I offer confidential counselling and I believe in a client-centred approach. I am specialized in the field of memory studies, being interested in how identity is shaped, what are the paths of mental care and how to come to terms with anger, grief and depression. I also welcome immigrants of all nationalities dealing with acculturation, including family crisis, social anxiety and job related stress.

Life can sometimes become overwhelming and people can benefit from a safe, open space to share their stories and receive support. Counselling and psychotherapy are services delivered through a therapeutic relationship with someone who is trained to support others. Some benefits to engaging in counselling and psychotherapy are: finding ways to solve problems, improving your self-esteem, practicing new and more positive behaviours, learning to manage emotions from stressors, developing a greater degree of self-awareness, learning to love and accept yourself, and improving your overall well-being.

We offer Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Virtual Exposure Therapy, Dialectal Behavioural based approaches, Biofeedback Training, EMDR, Safe Sounds Protocol and other evidence-based approaches to help clients identify how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours work together and to develop the skills needed to overcome their personal challenges.

As a former first responder, I understand the cumulative impacts of trauma and how it can affect our way of being, among other things. My career in Policing taught me many valuable lessons and has helped pave the way for me to continue to serve others in a counselling capacity. I recognize the necessity of pre-emptively equipping first responders with psycho-education, tools and techniques to help preserve their wellness and overall being. A holistic approach in preserving physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health is necessary to enable our first responders to safely carry out the duty’s incumbent upon them.

Are you an individual or couple who is struggling with emotional distress related to anxiety, stress, anger, depression or grief? Without proper support processing difficult emotions can be challenging. I can help you to get at the 'roots' of your distress as well as help you to become in touch with the concerns, goals, and needs that underlie your experiences. I also work with clients to address issues related to self and identity as well as clients who have faced attachment trauma or traumatic experiences that have altered their sense of self, others and the world around them.

Hi there! I'm Dr. Ryan Ferguson, a Clinical Psychologist under Supervised Practice. I specialize in helping adults overcome anxiety and anxiety-related disorders using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I offer treatments for a range of anxiety and anxiety-related issues, including social anxiety, generalized anxiety, OCD, panic attacks, agoraphobia, health anxiety, specific phobias, hair-pulling, skin-picking, and PTSD. Under the CBT umbrella, I often use other evidence-based interventions like Cognitive Therapy, Behavioural Activation, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Exposure and Response Prevention whenever they're needed.

My goal for individuals to better understand themselves by identifying strengths while also managing their struggles with mental health to help with personal growth.

The ideal client seeks to break free from entrenched negative patterns, driven by a deep desire to rewrite their life's narrative. They are committed to overcoming the debilitating grip of depression and anxiety, striving for profound personal transformation. Their goal is to reclaim inner peace, resilience, and a renewed sense of purpose, motivated by the aspiration to live a fulfilling and empowered life.

I am accepting new clients from all walks of life. I bring a collaborative, nonjudgmental, client centered approach. While I use a variety of approaches, I have additional experience using CBT.

In my space you can expect to be met open discussion, comfort, understanding, and acceptance so that we may tread new and existing paths in the direction of self-awareness and growth.

I work from a holistic, trauma-informed stance, in which my role is to support clients in their journey of healing; body, mind and spirit are intertwined. I honour the sanctity of every human being, while seeing each individual existing within various webs of relationships with people, beliefs, and cultures. My experience as a therapist has taught me that many ailments and dysfunctions stem from an unmet fundamental need for connection, to self and others; to love and be loved, which can be experienced as feeling safe and simultaneously vulnerable. I draw on a variety of evidence-based practices, and spirituality, upon request.

My training and experience have included a range of symptom severity levels, from psychiatric hospital inpatients to high functioning individuals experiencing more common difficulties. Some of my clients are experiencing difficulties with work, school, or relationships. Others have diagnosed psychological impairments. Regardless of the specific challenges faced, all of my clients are seeking to live healthier, more satisfying lives. The greatest satisfaction I find in my work is in providing services that genuinely help people achieve desired improvements.

When life gets hard to deal with, it is good to have someone to talk to; Someone with the expertise, professionalism, and compassion to listen, ask the right questions to create clarity and help us find the solution or at least see the light at the end of the tunnel. When dealing with mental and emotional pain, someone with the proper training and experience could be the right person to turn to. I utilize over 10 years of experience in therapy practice to the full benefit of my clients dealing with grief, depression, and anxiety, including those dealing with chronic illnesses such as cancer, as well as youth and parents'
