Individual Therapy for Teens & Adults
always personalized, always evidence-based, Always compassionate.
Virtual Therapy
Available to clients in alberta and ontario*.
Virtual therapy offers the same benefits as in-person therapy while also offering a convenient way to connect via video.
Participation in online therapy requires that you have a private space to talk, connection to the internet and a webcam. Your information remains confidential, just as it does with in-person therapy.
*For Ontario clients, virtual therapy only available for adults (18+).
In-Person Therapy
available at our kensington office in calgary, ab.
Individual therapy is a therapeutic process that is collaborative, supportive and adapted to meet your individual needs. Our therapists work to create a space for people to be fully human and authentic. Although the therapeutic styles vary from therapist to therapist, we collectively lead with compassion, authenticity and non-judgment.
‘Walk & Talk’ Therapy
Available to clients in calgary, ab*.
Walk and Talk therapy combines the benefits of traditional therapy with the rejuvenating power of nature. Engage in meaningful conversations while walking in a peaceful outdoor setting, fostering both mental and physical well-being. Movement and fresh air is a great way to process and connect to yourself.
*Offered seasonally.
Complimentary Phone Consultation
Available to those in alberta and ontario.
Consultations are not therapy, but rather a chance for you to meet with a therapist prior to committing to a full session. You can use this session to ask questions about how your therapist works, ensure that their expertise aligns with your needs and goals, and get a sense about whether you can feel safe and open with your therapist.

You work extremely hard to get it “right”. And yet, it still doesn't feel like enough. The pressure to do it all perfectly is robbing you of joy and connection. Let’s work together to relieve the pressure and find joy in the little things again.
