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.

Tired of explaining your identity to your therapist?

We specialize in affirming, culturally sensitive, and anti-oppressive care for BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ Mental Health.

We meet In-Person in Calgary and Online across Alberta with CouplesFamiliesYouth, and Men.

Why does life in Alberta feel so heavy right now?

Serene mountain setting in Alberta

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.

Find the right fit on our diverse team of mental health therapists.

Our collective of Registered Psychologists, Social Workers, and Certified Counsellors bring powerful lived experience and specialized training to the room.​

We get it. We've been to therapy and it helped us too.

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.

Best for: Anxiety, Depression, Perfectionism, and Self-Esteem

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

​Our therapists are fully licensed and regulated by professional colleges, providing expert support to hundreds of Albertans to improve their mental, emotional, and physical health.

Therapy Alberta respectfully acknowledges we are supported by the land of Turtle Island, now called Canada. Turtle Island is the home of the many First Nations, Métis and Inuit who have travelled, gathered, lived on and cared for these lands for centuries. Calling Canada our home is a privilege and responsibility. Declarations of land are only one component of our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation.


We are committed to new communities of decolonization. We strive to create safe, affirming, anti-racist and anti-oppressive spaces to welcome and provide free mental health care for people from Indigenous, Black, Color and LGBTQ+ communities and those impacted by trauma. Support our mission today.
