Clinical Therapy
Let’s work together to navigate challenges and find a happier, healthier version of you.
Our therapists bring many years of experience in non-profit environments providing mental health support to all walks of life in the community. Across all backgrounds, we have helped individuals and partners to navigate life transitions, parenting, romantic relationships, anxiety, depression, addictions, men’s mental health, neurodivergence, and trauma reduction.
As a walk and talk and virtual practice, we believe in the power and growth that comes with people being in their own comfortable space while working through their tough ‘stuff’. We ensure a safe and non-judgmental environment and sometimes use humour and bring elements of joy into a session when appropriate.
Our approach draws on a number of different therapies that are tailored to your unique needs and goals. We are trained in a variety of therapies that include: Narrative Therapy, CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), Solution-Focused Therapy, ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Process Therapy, EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy), IFS (Internal Family Systems), Expressive Arts Therapy, and somatic or body-based awareness.
We are accepting clients residing in Alberta, British Columbia and Ontario.

Therapy FAQs
-
We are client-centered which means, we take our cues and direction about how therapy unfolds from you. At times, therapy will be uncomfortable and this is where growth happens. We believe in being real and transparent, this will sometimes include some laughs and hearing the hard things.
-
Your first session is an opportunity to know each other better and explore how to reach your goals, or we can dive right into why you came to therapy in the first place. It’s up to you!
-
Our hope is that every therapy session will provide valuable insight, resources, and tools to help you get closer to reaching your goals in life.
Depending on the goals you have and the challenges you are navigating, some people will be in therapy regularly for a longer period of time, some may check in infrequently, and some may feel like they have what they need after a few sessions.
Our goal is never to have people in therapy every week forever, we want people to gain skills and practice them in the world without us and come back when they need support.
-
We offer both virtual and in-person walk and talk sessions. We want you to be in your own safe space while working through the ‘tough’ stuff. For local clients (Calgary and Chestermere), there are options for walk and talk sessions. These sessions occur in nature (parks, walking paths, trails etc.) where we conduct a therapy session while walking together. Some people find this to be an easier way to work through their tough stuff. These sessions are weather dependent.

It can help you better manage how you cope with life stressors to enhance your daily functioning.
