FOR ADULTS
Individual Therapy in Calgary
I offer individual psychotherapy sessions for anyone 18+ residing in Alberta. My approach is biopsychosocial and relational, with influences from psychodynamic and attachment theories. I believe that we are each shaped by an interplay of forces coming from elements both within us and around us.
Based on client needs and preferences, I practice mostly from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), accelerated resolution therapy (ART), exposure and response prevention (ERP), attachment theory, strengths-based and solution-focused lenses.
Knowing that many individuals need flexibility in scheduling, I offer flexible meeting times and can meet you in person at our downtown Calgary office or online from wherever you are most comfortable (within Alberta).
Counselling might be right for you if you are experiencing:
Therapy provides a supportive space where you can explore the root causes of your stress. By learning personalized stress management techniques and coping strategies, you can reduce your stress levels, gain control over your reactions, and improve your overall quality of life.
Therapy is a proven method for treating depression. It helps by offering a place to discuss your feelings and thoughts openly. Therapeutic techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy have been shown to alter negative thinking patterns and improve mood, providing relief from depressive symptoms.
While individual therapy focuses on you as a person, it can significantly impact your relationships. By understanding your relationship patterns and learning new communication skills, you can improve your interactions and dynamics with others.
Therapy helps by identifying and challenging negative beliefs you may hold about yourself. Through supportive dialogue and positive reinforcement, you can build a stronger self-image and learn to appreciate your self-worth, leading to increased confidence in various aspects of life.
Therapies like CBT and Exposure Therapy are highly effective for anxiety. They help by teaching you to confront and manage anxious thoughts and feelings, reduce avoidance behaviors, and gradually face the situations that trigger your anxiety, thus reducing its impact on your life.
Therapy is a cornerstone in the treatment of mood disorders. It works alongside medication (if prescribed) to provide skills and strategies for managing mood swings, fostering emotional stability, and maintaining a more consistent quality of life.
Stress is often a response to a particular demand, while burnout is a state of chronic stress that leads to physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion. Therapy addresses both by helping you set boundaries, develop resilience, and implement relaxation techniques, ultimately aiming to restore balance and prevent burnout.
Through therapy, you can explore the origins of your self-esteem issues and work on reshaping your self-perception. By developing self-compassion and recognizing your strengths and accomplishments, therapy can lead to lasting improvements in how you view and value yourself.
