Therapists in Alberta

Making the decision to ask for help is hard, being a man and asking for help is even harder. The expectations of masculinity have changed- I know I’ve lived it! I am a father, husband, friend and professional who is navigating these expectations-to be a protector and provider, a partner and mentor, an empathetic listener and a high-five celebrator.
My greatest learning is that vulnerability is strength, sharing is courage, and understanding yourself is vital. I will meet you where you are and together, we will figure out what will work for you. I have experience working with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, relationship, career change, divorce/separation, parenting, anger, and trauma (workplace/childhood). Let’s talk.

Family Counselling Centres Inc
At Family Counselling Centres, we have abandoned the one-size-fits-all approach to mental health and wellness. We recognize that each case is acutely different than the next, which is why we believe in holistic wellness; an approach that considers the whole person. We also utilize the latest research in brain development and mental health methodology.
Our therapists provide a non-judgemental, safe, accepting and supportive presence. We understand that there continues to be stigma associated with mental health and accessing services. Our therapists are advocates for prioritizing mental health and we value a preventative approach.

Sometimes, the challenges we face can overwhelm our abilities to cope. This can lead us away from our values, sense of self and can make the future look uncertain.
During times of transition and uncertainty, we may require some extra support to help us make sense of the things getting in our way. My role as a therapist is not to provide you with an answer, it is to help you make meaning of your experiences.
I believe each person has their own innate wisdom and my job is to create a safe relational space for them to access it.

I get that talking about what’s going on isn’t always easy, especially if you’re used to handling things yourself. I offer a down to earth, no pressure space where we focus on what matters most to you. No lectures or jargon just honest conversation, humour and practical tools that actually help.

I offer holistic mental health support that weaves together clinical counseling, hypnotherapy, breathwork, and meditation coaching to help clients reconnect with clarity, calm, and self-trust. My approach is warm, grounded, and rooted in both evidence and presence. I also offer Bach Flower Remedies as a gentle, complementary tool for emotional balance.

Hello and welcome,
My name is Amber (she/her). I recognize that sometimes, the hardest decision about seeking support is the decision to do so, which is why I emphasize the importance of starting where each person is at. I have over 12 years experience working with people from all walks of life at various points on their journey from children, youth, adults, and families. My approach shifts to the needs of each unique person I meet; nonetheless, it aligns most closely with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and somatic or body-based awareness. I look forward to connecting to explore if I am the right fit for your journey

Through more than a decade practicing as a Registered Psychologist, I have developed a deep understanding of the internal and external dynamics of commonly experienced mental health disorders. I have extensive experience treating borderline personality disorder, and also specialize in mood disorders, anxiety, and emotion regulation. I work with adults (18+), mainly using cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and I see both individuals and couples.
I provide online sessions for clients located in AB, NU, NB, and NS. If you would like to have a quick chat before booking your first appointment, I offer a free 15-min consultation to ensure we are a good fit. Looking forward to connecting with you!

Overwhelmed or burned out, struggling to focus or decompress? It’s hard to be at our best through times of stress and personal hardship. With over 10 years of clinical practice, I will help you establish lasting wellness so you can stay on top of what really matters – your interests, responsibilities, and relationships. Let’s make sense of your concerns, find a clear way forward, and get you back on track.
My background is in Occupational Therapy and Psychology, as well as extreme sports coaching. Occupational Therapy is a “function-focused” discipline that targets real-world success with mind-body principles and practical strategies. I also lead a clinical team specialized in mental health and function and mentor developing therapists.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of adult ADHD and PTSD, and generalize in the treatment of most mental health disorders. I utilize an integrative and transdiagnostic approach to mental health treatment which incorporates a biopsychosocial view of the individual. I enjoy focusing on increasing good health behaviours by understanding the relationship between life experiences, socialization, stress, and current functioning. My goal is to work with the client in making tangible and meaningful life changes as well as gaining a good understanding and perspective into what drives their behaviours, emotions, thoughts, and physiological processes.

I provide online therapy using evidence-based practices to help individuals learn better skills to help them gain control over their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, and to live more successful lives. The focus of my approach is change-oriented and compassion-driven. Assessments are done at the beginning to best understand the individual and plan for helpful, change-oriented conversations. Remote therapy only.

My approach involves understanding your unique circumstances, building a strong and trusting relationship, applying proven interventions and practical solutions to the problems, and using direct feedback to increase awareness of blind spots. I work with clients to address immediate challenges and to identify and treat the root causes for lasting change. My style has been described as warm, validating, and honest with a dash of humor.
