Codependency Therapists in T3C

I operate from a trauma-informed person-centered approach, as I know that I am inviting clients to reveal vulnerable parts of themselves and should be met with nonjudgment and unconditional positive regard. My person-centered approach allows me to shift from a deficit based perspective to a strength-based perspective, allowing for a relational depth that transcends labels. My practice is grounded in providing affirming care to assist clients in embracing personal self-worth and bolstering personal agency.

I am a Registered Social Worker with a Masters in Clinical Social Work from the University of Calgary. I am dedicated to helping people live a life that is meaningful and memorable. I have a passion for working with adults to address trauma, burnout, chronic stress, depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, emotional regulation, mental health management, and life transitions. My approach is grounded in a collaborative and trauma-informed lens. I believe each person I work with is their own expert of their life.

I prioritize creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their challenges and find meaningful change. Working inclusively with adults from diverse backgrounds, I embrace all identities, across gender, sexual orientation, ethnocultural heritage, and neurotype. I offer individual support to those with ADHD, autism, depression, anxiety, trauma, impulse control, general unhappiness, work stress, and more, with a specialization in providing neurodivergent affirming care. I welcome couples facing difficulty, such as infidelity, life transitions, and external stressors, guiding them towards healthier relationships.

It takes courage to seek help, so I commend you for taking this first step. Although therapy can seem intimidating, I view it as just like any other health service, such as the dentist or chiropractor. Just like how we visit the dentist if we have severe tooth pain or need a routine cleaning, I am here for both your traumatic experiences as well as maintenance sessions. No issue is too small when working with me and my practice, Arcadia Counselling. No one is meant to struggle alone, which is where I come in. Therapy looks different for everyone whether that is a place to unload, learn techniques, or improve your quality of life.

Does life keep catching up with you and knocking you off balance? Maybe you’re weighed down by worry, dread, exhaustion, or pain. Sometimes you look around and wonder, how did I get here? You might not recognize your work, relationships, body or home as they changed while you were busy taking care of everything and everyone else. Your empathy and compassion is a great strength, and yet there is a cost to caring that impacts your health and well-being. I help people with chronic illness, chronic pain, self-esteem, trauma and PTSD to have more energy & enjoy a renewed sense of purpose. It is possible to find a good balance.

Many of my clients come to me seeking support in navigating challenges like anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship issues or life transitions. I provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore emotions, gain insight and develop tools to overcome life’s challenges. Through our work together you can expect to develop new coping strategies, build resilience, and foster healthier relationships with yourself and others.

Are you living with depression, despair, anxiety, anger, negative self-talk, relationship challenges, grief, shame or overwhelm? At one time I didn't know why my emotions flooded me nor what to do about it. You, too, may choose therapy to provide answers and healing. As a seniorpreneur it has been an honour to support hundreds of clients as they gain new awareness of their resilient, lovable, and resourceful core selves. One client shared, “Patricia, it is like my personal flashlight bringing me the ability to see light and a new, authentic path.” I would delight in assisting you in your journey.

Navigating any sudden change in your life can heighten your emotions. Are you experiencing higher normal levels of.......frustration, stress, sadness, fear and feelings of loss & uncertainty. Have you had relationship changes, life changes or lost dreams? Grief is the pain that accompanies loss. Because it is a reflection of what we love, it can feel all-encompassing. Grief is not limited to the people we love who have died. We grieve when we have lost, something or things that we value. Loss entails that a part of you, a piece of your life, has died. Grieving the life you imagined for yourself, your future, even your present.

Relationships in our lives present us with an infinite number of experiences that bring successes, challenges and everything in between. The stories that we live everyday contain relationships that form the foundation of our mental and physical well-being. There are times when we want the current stories in our life to continue and at other times we hope and need for something to change so that we can live the life we desire as an individual and in relation to others. Regardless of the challenges you are experiencing there is a way to find a path forward towards a desired story that will bring fulfillment and joy in your life.

Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or lonely? Are you struggling in your relationships? Are wounds from your past keeping you from moving forward? 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!

Hello! I'm a Registered Psychologist with 5 years of experience, specializing in relationship therapy (couples & individuals). I’m in a same sex partnership & have a particular interest in supporting LGBTQ+ communities, as well as those in non-traditional relationships (e.g., ENM, poly, lifestyle). As a goal-oriented therapist, I guide clients towards meaningful change & a better place in life. I believe in accountability & actively support clients in doing the necessary work for growth & improvement. To help clients experience progress, I give tangible exercises & resources to use in between sessions.

I am here to help you build your awareness to expand your choices for wellness. I am not a healer, I am a helper for you to find your own way to self-healing. With compassionate curiosity, we can work together on depression, anxiety, anger issues, eating disorders, relationship problems, grief and loss, cultural/identity issues, gender and sexuality issues, parent-child conflict, intimacy and attachment issues, intergenerational trauma, abuse, bullying, behavior problems, soul wounds and health issues.

We all struggle at times and I truly believe in a way through that is right for you. Art has always been a therapeutic and meaningful activity for me. Putting art together with psychotherapy seems like the most natural thing in the world. There is insight and growth to be found in the art-making process. Creativity and imagination are inborn resources for each individual to claim.

Do you aspire to feel more contentment or support to reach your goals? If you do and want to work with a warm, non-judgmental, experienced therapist, who gets results, then reach out to me. Clients over the years report that they quickly feel at ease with me, which allows them to feel safe, accepted, and open. To assist the clients, I identify negative thought patterns and issues that may have been impeding their growth & progress & then create an achievable plan. Over the past 20 years, I have worked with children, teens & adults from all backgrounds within the educational and private sectors.

I believe everyone has strengths, support, and a desire for growth. Such support needs to encompass unconditional positive regard and understanding. It is important to meet clients where they are and strive towards their goals with compassion, while gently challenging beliefs. I believe that all clients have a unique perspective of their situation, which is rooted in their identity, values, and culture. My previous work with disadvantaged populations and clients on their grief journey taught me that the challenges individuals face are contextualized to their sociocultural positionality, identity, and relationship dynamics.

What is wrong with me? Why do I feel stuck and overwhelmed all the time? I can't stop overthinking, and my emotions are all over the place. Will things ever get better? If you have ever asked yourself these questions, you're not alone! Life can be confusing and seem unfair when things don't go as you had hoped. The good news is that things can get better and you don't have to do this alone! If you are feeling any of these we need to talk: Anxious, Overwhelmed, Unfulfilled, Sad, Lonely, Depressed, Having a Hard Time In Relationships, Struggling with Past Trauma or Abuse, Always Feeling Angry and Having a Hard Time Controlling It.

**CURRENTLY ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** I am a Registered Psychologist, born & raised in Edmonton. I am passionate about providing individual & group counseling services to children, youth, and adults from all walks of life. My professional experience over the past 10 years includes working with young offenders, inmates, hospitalized patients, and individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have also loved volunteering as a crisis line worker at Distress Centre Calgary for over 2 years. Some of my areas of specialty include: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Parent-Child Attachment, Divorce/Separation, Returning to Work, OCD, Self-esteem.

Are you feeling more and more resentful, conflicted, and stressed with your child, partner, or family? Do you feel "gridlocked" in a cycle of anxiety, emotions, and guilt at home? We are a team of psychologists with over thirty years of combined clinical experience specializing in these types of issues. You are an ideal client for us if you are seeking a therapist who is collaborative, genuine, and nonjudgmental. Together we will commit to developing a safe relationship where you can learn the skills you need to face and overcome difficult challenges, experiences, and emotions.

We have the ability to find our best answers. Sometimes those answers have been lost amongst all the other pieces of our lives and it can be a challenge to discover them. As your therapist and companion I support you as you identify and choose which pieces serve you and which get left behind. With attention, I get to know you, your values and beliefs, and this allows us to develop the approach that is tailored to you, your life, your future.

Are you ready to make lasting change within your life? I believe that everyone is deserving of and able to live the best possible life that they can imagine. If you are searching for greater happiness and control within your life, if you are looking to take steps to live your best possible life, please start a conversation with me. I am committed to working with you creatively and compassionately, to understand you, your concerns, and your goals. I can help you to achieve your most vivid dreams and goals for yourself.

Listening for your best self can best take place in the context of a safe, confidential, professional relationship with a therapist. Issues related to depression, anxiety, adult ADHD, workplace distress, relationship challenges, coming out and adjustment to illness often bring us to uncharted waters. In a collaborative, facilitated process we can identify specific strategies and skills for you to re-access your best self! Change is always possible.

Are you struggling with career decisions, self-esteem, or overall anxiety? If so, you're in the right place! I specialize in working with young women ages 18 - 35 struggling with that last piece in life to feel whole. Being a young woman can present many challenges and pressures and it can be hard to know what next step to take in life.

I’m glad you’re here! I am dedicated to providing a client-centered approach that puts your expertise on your own life front and center. My primary objective is to meet you exactly where you are on your journey and to recognize the unique experiences that have shaped you as an individual. With 8 years of counselling experience, I bring a depth perspective to help you delve into the underlying causes of your difficulties. By recognizing, understanding, and accepting the core issues that contribute to your struggles, we can work together to bring about lasting change.

Getting to the point where you feel like you need therapy can feel awful. You have probably tried many ways of getting better and they haven't worked for you or not well enough. Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed, confused, powerless and disconnected from yourself and others? You don't need to feel like you aren't good enough. You don't need to feel stuck in anger, sadness, fear or disgust. You don't need to feel like your past is heavy and weighing you down in the present. You can process your past so you can live in the present moment. You can feel good about yourself and connect to others. You deserve joy now and in the future.
