Somatic Therapists in Southeast Calgary, Calgary, AB

With several different therapies and techniques in my toolbox, and a comfortable, secure office environment, my goal is to tailor my approach to your needs. My therapy style most often has a staged approach (a beginning, middle and an end). I rely on your feedback and measure our progress, to make sure there’s improvement and we're making the most of your time. I ensure clients leave my office feeling better and more resourced than when they first arrived. I work well with clients who are experiencing burnout, increased stress and anxiety responses, depressive symptoms, grief and loss, trauma, work challenges and life change.

Welcome! My name is Shay, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with 11 years of experience in the mental health field. I offer online and in-person service. Perhaps you have been feeling overwhelmed, or wanting to heal from a trauma. Maybe you are exploring your gender or sexual identity, and are looking for a safe place to explore that. Or maybe you're a neurodivergent individual seeking a space that understands that you aren't broken, but that your mind works differently. I believe that each individual is the expert on their own experience, and strive to create a compassionate space to explore your concerns.

Do you feel alone in your anxiety? Do you feel like no one understands? Together we will process, understand and overcome the unique challenges you are facing. We will identify any maladaptive patterns of behaviour and develop coping tools. I will support you in recognizing and aligning with your values. I make it a priority to establish a comfortable relationship with my clients and create a safe space for change.

Looking for more than just talk therapy? My ideal client is looking for therapy that goes deeper than talk therapy. I have worked for 25 years with clients recovering from anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, abuse, and codependence. Experience has shown me that using a mind/body approach to therapy is the most effective for healing from these issues. My belief is that our being is grounded in the body and that ignoring the body will have limited lasting success in the treatment of psychological issues.

I offer counselling to people that are highly sensitive and highly empathic. Many of my clients are intuitive and seem to know things and see things that others aren't aware of. This often leaves them feeling out of place, isolated, and unsure if they can trust themselves. A common issue is being in relationships where you over give but are told you are not doing enough. This can lead to overthinking, overanalyzing, anxiety, depression, and low-self esteem. You might know what you want to do, what you want to say but get stuck because of the worry of hurting the other person's feelings.

In my practice, I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, chronic pain, and chronic symptoms. I focus on using mind-body approaches to support people in regulating their nervous system, approaching their emotions with a sense of safety, becoming embodied, and living life with passion. Many mental and physical health concerns are due to a dysregulated nervous system, so to heal we need to build a relationship with our nervous system using top-down and bottom-up approaches to self-regulate.

A warm welcome as you take the first step in your wellness journey! Are you tired of feeling exhausted and burnt out? Anxious or Depressed? Struggling with executive functioning and/or ADHD?

We enjoy supporting individuals hoping to increase life satisfaction, build better coping mechanisms and navigate life a little easier. My promise to you is to work with you to develop a therapy plan that is going to work for your life and your goals!

Has anxiety and depression become amplified for you with issues from the past resurfacing? Maybe you have been to counselling before but would like to try a more holistic approach; one that will teach you the tools needed to overcome feelings of sadness, dread and uncertainty? Often times, experiences buried from childhood and the past resurface as adults which can greatly affect the way we feel and our sense of purpose in the world. It isn’t until things get so uncomfortable, that we feel the only option available is to make a change. This isn’t always easy but reaching out for support, is the first and most important step.

Hi! I’m Katie, a Registered Psychologist, with over 12 years of experience providing therapy and a lifetime of interest in people. It would be my privilege to help you navigate a journey of awareness and positive change, to offer my gentle, empathetic and nonjudgmental presence as a source of guidance and support.

Maybe you never feel enough, and what "enough" even looks like may feel uncertain. You might be exhausted from feeling the guilt and shame you don't know how to talk about. Perhaps you think your overwhelming past experiences will never leave you. I work with folks who long to accept and connect with themselves & others but feel stuck and in a loop of self-criticism. As a Korean-Canadian Psychologist with many intersecting identities, I also understand and work with many personal and systemic challenges faced by BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities. I offer care, skills, and insights to support your growth and discovery of new possibilities.

Self-discovery and healing is a journey—and you don’t have to take it alone. Newfound freedom and fulfillment is within reach. With a focus on somatic, relational and trauma-informed support, Intrinsic Therapy is home to a versatile team of empathetic, open and invested practitioners. We welcome all to find safe belonging, make real shifts and transform from within. The magic of authenticity? When we know and accept ourselves, it extends to our communities to fuel collective healing – a revolution we’re all for.

There is power in the stories we tell and how we tell them. I love being able to hold space for others stories and empower you to decide how to tell it for yourself. My ultimate goals for you are: to know what it feels like to be safe with another person or what I call "feel felt", have a better relationship with yourself, and if we add in a coping strategy or two that you actually like to use, then bonus! There will be no "one way" I do therapy with you, because it's going to be dependent on who you are, where you are at, and how we jive! I have completed multiple trainings including ART, Narrative, DBT, ACT, EFT, Somatic and IFS.

Many folks come to me feeling overwhelmed, confused, or disconnected from their emotions or behaviours. They find themselves feeling triggered in relationships, or shy away from sharing their authentic selves with others. Some have significant struggles with their focus and can't consistently complete tasks they know are well within their abilities. When we don't know how or why this happens, a sense of powerlessness and shame creeps into our lives. Trust me, I understand confronting these issues is challenging and vulnerable. Changing these patterns is very possible and may be some of the most important work you do in your life.

I work with adults facing life’s challenges. An area of specialty close to my heart is working with women who are pregnant or newly parenting.

Do you feel disconnected and alone as you journey through life? Are your emotions overwhelming right now? Does it feel like the anxiety, depression, isolation, or emotional overwhelm are a barrier to living a whole and connected life? Maybe you’ve experienced some kind of trauma, sexual abuse, or depression and you are at a point where you are ready to move forward. If you are reading this, a part of you is ready for change and to feel better.
