Find a Therapist

Joel Mader

As part of my practice I use interventions and techniques that are practical and have been shown to be effective in addressing specific mental health issues. This includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Structured Relapse Prevention and Motivational Interviewing. My approach emphasizes collaboration, empathy, warmth and understanding, recognizing that these are important factors in developing an effective therapeutic relationship.

George Wahba

My therapeutic approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Somatic Therapy models to help you navigate life’s challenges and thoughts in a way that aligns with your core values. At the heart of this work is the therapeutic relationship, which provides a safe space so you may explore your vulnerabilities. Grounded in trauma-informed care, my approach will support you in reconnecting with your values and spirituality, empowering you to engage more fully and authentically in your relationships and life overall.

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.

Adele Fox

Over the years as a psychologist, I have learned that you can be good at working in many areas, but you can only be great at some, so I decided to gather a team of therapists whom I trust and that have unique skill sets and varying personality styles to compliment my own and provide other alternatives for you. My team supports all ages and concerns. Many of us enjoy working with men on ‘what it’s like being a man in this day and age’ stuff, as it’s a different landscape to navigate these days! Please check out my website to see all of us and how we can best assist you.

Sadiya Shah

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.

Danica Heidebrecht

In my practice, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of men from top performers and working professionals and leaders, to post-secondary students, artists and sensitive souls facing a variety of life’s challenges. I have a particular empathy for the unique challenges and pressures that many men face these days. As a counselling psychologist, I can help you recognize any unhealthy patterns/dynamics that might not be serving you, and help you learn ways of addressing these to support greater wellbeing and satisfaction in your life.

Core Psychology Calgary

At Core Psychology, we offer real, practical mental health support for men who want to reduce stress, improve relationships, manage anxiety or anger, and feel more like themselves again. Many men carry the weight of leadership, breadwinning, and family quietly – feeling pressure to have it all figured out, even when overwhelmed. You might be shut down, irritable, burned out, or unsure how to name what you’re feeling. We get it. Our Calgary-based team offers straightforward, confidential care – online or in-person – with therapists who truly understand men’s challenges, struggles and strengths.

Dr. Gloria Jacobucci

My approach typically includes managing current symptoms and addressing underlying causes. Interpersonal patterns are often at the heart of depression, so our work together may include a focus on improving relationships with family, friends, co-workers, and others.

Tanis Moore

Men today often encounter many tragic messages of self-blame. Even other therapists can fall into the trap of using negative or shaming language such as the “toxic masculinity” narrative. I abhor and avoid such messages. In contrast, I work from a strengths-based approach that prioritizes dignity and unconditional positive regard. I provide support for many concerns such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, relationship breakdown and divorce, domestic abuse victimization, and more. I work primarily using CBT, ACT, and person-centred modalities.
