The right therapeutic “fit” between a patient and their therapist is pivotal in the change process…this has been well researched and established within the field of psychology for many years. At be. Psychological Services, I pride myself on my ability to connect with men on a human-to-human level. YOU are the “expert” of you, while I have the professional experience, education and expertise within the field of mental health. Together our two minds work in unison…working towards optimal mental well-being for YOU!
I am well-versed in the areas of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to name a few. Complimentary phone consultations are available upon request.

KM Counselling Inc.
KM Counselling Inc.
A Tailor-Made Therapy Process Just for You
KM Counselling is a NW Calgary psychology practice founded on the idea that meaningful change is best fostered when the therapy process is uniquely tailored to your needs. We know that many people seek out support for reasons that are not always easy to talk about, which is why finding the right therapy fit is critical. You may have tried counselling in the past and felt that the process was too rigid or fixated on the therapist’s agenda, leaving you feeling frustrated and stuck. At KM Counselling, you will work with psychologists who custom build the counselling process to best suit your needs.
Note: HeadsUpGuys only recommends therapists who meet our qualification standards.

It may take reaching out to 3+ therapists to find one who is currently accepting new clients. So don’t get discouraged if you don’t hear back right away. Keep reaching out to therapists until you get a response. Your better health is worth the effort.
