Therapists in V6T

We all struggle at times. Whether it is a low mood that lingers too long, or anxiety that inhibits your life. Feeling like a failure, a bad parent, or like you just do not feel at home in your skin can start to feel like it poisons everything. Confidence dwindles, emotions feel too unpredictable, or stress seems to get under your skin more than it used to. You may be finding that your close relationships are more stressful than they used to be. Life may feel like it’s getting smaller and smaller. You know something has to change. It is time to reach out for help.

Going through separation and divorce is a rough process. The yelling, the tears or the fights that happen in the house is keeping you up at night and/or make you worry about your future. It is already difficult to discuss what belongs to who at this point, not to mention there are children involved. You want your children to be ok, but not sure how. Things that your partner said or did in the past seem to be stuck in your head and make you angry or sad. You want peace, you want no conflict and a way out of this emotional disaster. Talk to me, I am here to listen.

Are you wondering if you or a loved one might be autistic, have ADHD, or be neuro-divergent in some way? Do you need support finding an affirming way forward for yourself or your relationships? Our work together can focus on any area of importance for you, including: trauma, chronic pain/illness, relationships, parenting, experiences of oppression, grief or dissociation. I appreciate diversity in all forms, and welcome folks exploring neuro-diversity, gender-creativity, sexual orientation, and pathological demand avoidance. I can help you find the internal spaciousness to work through life's challenges.

Decipher Counselling Art Therapy Studio offers creative, justice-oriented therapy for people dealing with experiences of invalidation, including any and all underrepresented communities. This may include processing trauma, navigating identities, life transitions, and power differences. We aim to create a space where people of all intersectionalities can feel like they belong. To feel like they can be themselves in their most unique ways. Where their stories will be heard and held. We work to decolonize therapy in our therapy practice and personally around our identities.

Life can be hard at times, and our team knows that reaching out for help is not easy. That's why our counsellors are here to help you navigate whatever challenges you are facing with nothing but acceptance and understanding. At Kelsey Jarvis Counselling and Associates, we specialize in helping individuals, couples and youth deal with the highs and lows of life, which can leave us feeling anxious, stressed, unfulfilled, unmotivated and insecure.

Have you ever rushed out the door only to realize you forgot something or spilled coffee all over yourself? Have you ever said to yourself, “I'm tired of feeling this way/ I shouldn’t be feeling like this,” yet the feelings persist and sometimes come back stronger? These may seem like two distinct, unrelated instances I am raising, but I parallel them with how we often approach our problems: we tend to want to rush through them or judge ourselves for having the emotions and reactions to the difficulties life tosses at us. I’m here to propose an alternative: your feelings are valid, no matter what you’re seeking help for.

With 25 years as a counsellor, I am positive that change is possible. Many of us simply need support and guidance to truly understand ourselves. During our time together, my passion, attention and focus will be dedicated to your wellness, and finding what works best to help you reach your full potential.

I am a neuroqueer Latina therapist with European ancestry who immigrated to Canada over a decade ago. I firmly believe that therapy must take context and systems of oppression into account in order to be helpful. If this is your first time seeking therapy, I may be a particularly good fit for you as I am passionate about translating knowledge and teaching skills in a client-centered manner. I offer therapy in English, French, Spanish, and any combination thereof (e.g. spanglish). If you often feel like other people were given an instruction manual for life that you didn’t receive, I might be able to help you bridge the gap.

As a psychologist, I believe in my clients’ resilience and ability to overcome challenging life conditions. Sometimes however, clients can benefit from professional help that is empowering and safe and promotes clients’ readiness to address concerns and receive evidence-based treatment. I provide effective cognitive behavioural interventions that integrate mindfulness, multicultural and social justice perspectives. My approach to therapy and assessment is collaborative and relational. I have completed an externship in Emotion focused therapy as well training in EMDR.

We are all deserving and capable of enjoying fulfilling romantic and sexual relationships. Connection is the key to a life lived full. Connection to yourself first and foremost— awareness of your emotions, body sensations, values, and needs. Believing fully in your inherent worth, flaws and all. Connecting to others through a practice of empathy, vulnerability, and reliability is how we create strong relationships to our loved ones and the world around us.

I have lived, studied and worked in the Arab world, South and Southeast Asia before settling in Vancouver, BC in 2011. A good friend and mentor describes me as a honey bee, a nahlah that has travelled from place to place in search of sweetness and wisdom. Urdu is my first language, and I have picked up English and some Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew along the way. I am a hanif believer who knows the divine as the light of the heavens and the earth and dares to have a critical-appreciative relationship with tradition.

If you are seeking support for trauma, an eating disorder, binge-eating, depression/anxiety, or stress/burnout, I can help. My practice is to create a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space where we work together towards healing. I offer both in-person sessions in Calgary and offer virtual therapy for AB, BC and ON residents.

Beginning counselling is an intimidating process and I congratulate you for making it this far! It is an impressive accomplishment to take action with your mental health and you should be proud of yourself. Counselling is a space for growth, stabilization, recovery, and healing – and while we all have the tools to maintain, improve, and stabilize our mental health – I believe that the best results can be achieved collaboratively. I can provide a supportive, non-judgemental space to help you access these tools.

Are you tired of struggling with your anxiety and depression? Are you feeling lost, confused, and hurt in your relationships? I'm here to help you navigate through these challenges and find a path towards healing and personal growth. As a compassionate therapist, my goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you can openly express your thoughts and emotions. Together, we will work towards resolving the underlying causes of your anxiety and depression, developing coping strategies, and building healthier relationships. You don't have to face these difficulties alone. Let me guide you through your healing journey.

Do you find yourself stuck? Not knowing where to go, or even how you got to where you are? Or is it the opposite? You know exactly what you want in life, it's just not working? I recognize that each person approaches life transitions & change with a unique set of values, beliefs, and past experiences. It’s also true that each person's experience is different, and can come with a variety of thoughts, feelings, and consequences that vary from person to person. My priority as your counsellor will be to create a safe space where you can explore your options, figure out how to chart your future course, and build the life you want.

As you consider if therapy might be a supportive choice for you, it is possible that you are feeling alone and yearn for a more authentic connection with yourself and others. You might find that your emotions feel unpredictable, overwhelming or perhaps you feel disconnected from them altogether. I believe that we all have the capacity for healing and growth. Through connection to ourselves, our bodies, and our communities we can begin to undo experiences of aloneness and rebuild a sense of safety and ease. My role is to hold a space where you can show up just as you are, assured that you will be met with care and compassion.

I am passionate about working with folks of all genders, cultures, and backgrounds who want to feel more connected to themselves or others. As a bicultural counsellor, I hold space for youth and adults interested in exploring and navigating their own intersectional identities. I specialize in areas including self-esteem, self-worth, cultural identity, relationship & intergenerational conflicts, anxiety, depression, coping and skills building, trauma, and grief and loss. Entrusting your story to another person takes courage. As an empathetic listener and witness, I am committed to holding a safe space for all parts of your truth.

Counselling is a unique experience. It is intimate, vulnerable and requires courage. There are infinite reasons that someone may seek counselling or therapy. Let’s face it, being human can be hard! Counselling can be effective for folks struggling to balance life with routines, relationships and responsibilities. Some people experience severe symptoms that impact their physical, mental, social and spiritual health. A safe therapeutic relationship can offer you an opportunity to access your wisdom and allow your authentic emotional and spiritual self to emerge, heal and expand.

I believe we contain multitudes within us, and many parts that make up who we are. Sometimes though, experiences in our lives make us close off from, hide, squish, contort and/or cut off from parts of who we are, especially those that do not fit the normative ideas of how we are “supposed” to be in our society, including around race, gender, gender expression, sexuality, class, neurotype, body size, nationality, relationship-structures, disability and more. I’m a Registered Social Worker, and I provide counselling from trauma-informed, collaborative, and anti-oppressive approaches.
