You don't have to carry the mental load alone.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming whether it's the first time or the fifth.
We know healing happens at the speed of safety.
This isn't theory; it's lived experience.
Our culturally sensitive and identity-affirming therapists have navigated ADHD, anxiety, complex PTSD, depression, gender identity, grief, racial trauma, and more.
Being human is complicated. Healing doesn't have to be.
Therapy works when it's a good fit.
We don't fix you, we stay with you.
We don't just treat symptoms: we create safe and lasting change through trauma-sensitive therapy:
Connection
Our priority is co-creating a safe, collaborative relationship. We don't start by diving into the deep end; we give you resources to manage acute stress and begin to gently regulate your nervous system.
Exploration
Once you are steady, we compassionately explore the roots of your patterns and unmet needs. Using talk therapy, EMDR, or Somatic Therapies, we move at the speed of your safety—always inviting, never forcing.
Growth
Healing is more than symptom relief. It's about reclaiming your life and your agency. We help you integrate new insights and understanding, so you can move forward with resilience, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.
What has been weighing on your mind?
Tired of feeling like you're too much or not good enough?
We affirm your brain's unique wiring; move from shame to leveraging your strengths.
Feeling heavy, numb, low and slow, shutdown, or stuck in a grey fog?
We help you gently reconnect with your body and find small sparks of joy amidst exhaustion.
Feeling revved up, overwhelmed, or unable to switch off?
We listen to your body's signals to help you calm your nervous system and find relaxation.
Does it feel like the world feel moved on without you after your loss?
Grief has no timeline. We help you carry the weight of your loss without collapsing under it.
Is the distance between you growing? Are you living separately under one roof?
Whether you are constantly fighting or not talking at all, we help you change negative cycles.
Does the past feel like it’s constantly crashing into your present?
Our trauma-informed therapists safely process stuck memories and reclaim your peace.
Why does life in Alberta feel so heavy right now?
You aren't imagining it.
Your nervous system is under unique strain.
Between the pressures of our boom and bust economy, job market concerns, and strain on our health and education systems, we are in the midst of an affordability crisis.
And the isolation of our long, dark winter is just beginning as the days get shorter and nights come earlier.
We understand these pressures because we live here.
Whether you're in Calgary or a rural community, we offer secure Online Therapy to bring support directly to your home or office.
Our therapy is contextual—we help you navigate the environment you live in.
We don’t just listen. We empower you with the tools to heal.
Therapy isn't one-size-fits-all. We draw from research-backed, modern approaches tailored to you—not a textbook.
Instead of wasting energy fighting your thoughts or trying to force feelings away, ACT teaches you to drop the rope. We help you accept difficult emotions, freeing you up to take meaningful action on what truly matters to you.

Your safety, privacy, and autonomy are our highest priority.
