Find Support for What You're Going Through

​

Feeling overwhelmed, stuck in a loop, or just not yourself? You're not alone, and you don't have to navigate this journey by yourself. Finding the right support starts with finding someone who truly understands you and the specific problem you're facing.

​

At Therapy Alberta, our team of compassionate therapists has specialized training to help individuals, couples, and families with the specific challenges life throws your way—from the persistent worry of anxiety to the complex weight of trauma or the painful disconnection in a relationship.

​

This page is a resource to help you put a name to what you're feeling and to see the path forward. You don't need to have it all figured out. You just have to be here. We can help with the rest.

Therapy Alberta Specialties

​

Our team at focuses on helping people heal emotionally, mentally, physically, and relationally. We work with individuals, partners, and families with a variety of specialties:

​​​

ADHD Therapy​

​

What does ADHD feel like?

 

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in adults can feel like your brain is a browser with 50 open tabs, all playing music at once. It can be a constant, frustrating struggle with focus, organization, and managing time. It's not a lack of willpower; it's a difference in brain wiring that can leave you feeling overwhelmed and behind.

​

How can therapy for ADHD help?

 

Therapy for ADHD is not about curing it, but about learning to work with your brain. We help you build practical, real-world skills to manage distraction, create systems that actually work for you, and understand your unique strengths. It's about finding clarity in the chaos and building a life you're proud of.

​

Anger Management Therapy​

​

What does anger feel like?

 

For many, anger is a check engine light for a deeper emotion, like fear, hurt, or feeling powerless. It can feel like a sudden, hot flood you can't control, or a constant, simmering frustration. It might be impacting your relationships, your work, or the way you feel about yourself.

​

How can therapy for anger help?

 

Anger management therapy is not about learning to never be angry. Anger is a normal, valid emotion and signal. This therapy is a safe, non-judgmental space to explore the roots of your anger, learn to recognize your triggers, and build the skills to regulate your body before the anger takes over.

​

Anxiety Therapy​

​

What does anxiety feel like?

 

Anxiety can feel like a constant, exhausting hum of dread, a racing heart, or a mind that just won't shut off. It might be that "on-edge" feeling of waiting for the next bad thing to happen, or a sense of panic that comes out of nowhere, leaving you feeling overwhelmed and out of control.

​

How can therapy for anxiety help?

 

Therapy for anxiety isn't about calming down. It's a compassionate process of understanding the root of your fears. We'll help you learn to regulate your nervous system, build practical skills to manage panic and worry, and find a deep, lasting sense of safety and calm within yourself.

​

BIPOC Therapy​

​

What is the need for BIPOC Therapy?

 

This is a space to heal without having to explain. It's for the exhaustion of navigating systemic racism, the weight of intergenerational trauma, or the lonely feeling of being stuck between two cultures. It’s for anyone who has ever felt unseen, misunderstood, or othered in spaces that were supposed to be helpful.

​

How can BIPOC Therapy help?

 

This therapy provides a safe, affirming, and anti-oppressive space where your lived experience is understood and validated, not questioned. It’s a collaborative process to heal from racial trauma, explore your identity, and build resilience, all while being supported by a therapist who is committed to cultural humility and understands the context of your strength.​

​

Couples Therapy​

​

What does it feel like when your relationship is struggling?

 

It can feel lonely, even when you're together. It might be the pain of the same argument happening over and over, the sting of betrayal, or a slow drift into feeling like roommates. You might be missing the connection you used to have and feeling scared you won't ever get it back.

​

How can couples therapy help?

 

Couples therapy is a safe, structured, and non-judgmental space to slow down and truly hear each other again. We help you get out of the blame game and understand the real, unmet needs beneath your conflict. We'll help you rebuild trust, improve communication, and find your way back to a more secure, loving connection.

​

Depression Therapy​

​

What does depression feel like?

​

Depression can feel like a heavy, gray fog that settles over everything, making it hard to connect or even just get out of bed. It’s more than just sadness; it can be a profound lack of energy, a feeling of emptiness, or a loss of interest in the things you used to love.

​

How can therapy for depression help?

 

Therapy for depression is a supportive, non-judgmental space to help you lift that weight. We won't just tell you to think positive. We’ll work with you to understand the roots of your depression, build small, sustainable habits to regain momentum, and find a renewed sense of purpose and connection—especially during our long, dark Alberta winters.

​

Family Therapy​

​

What does family conflict feel like?

​

It can feel like you're all stuck in a painful loop, having the same arguments without any resolution. You might be feeling disconnected from your teen, worried about your child, or just exhausted from walking on eggshells. It's that difficult feeling when the people you love most are also the source of your deepest stress.

​

How can family therapy help?

 

Family therapy provides a neutral, structured space where everyone gets a voice. The goal isn't to take sides or blame one person; it's to help the whole family understand the hidden patterns and dynamics that are keeping you stuck. We'll help you communicate more clearly, resolve conflicts, and find a way to heal and connect as a family unit.

​

Grief Therapy​

​

What does grief feel like?

​

Grief is not a clean, linear process; it's a messy, disorienting, and deeply personal journey. It can feel like a wave that crashes over you when you least expect it, or a hollow ache that just won't go away. It's the painful, often lonely, work of learning to live in a world that has been forever changed by loss.

​

How can therapy for grief help?

 

Therapy is not about getting over your loss or moving through set stages. It is a compassionate, patient space to honor your grief and your loved one. We'll walk with you through the anger, the sadness, and the numbness, helping you make meaning of your loss and, in your own time, find a way to carry it forward.

​

LGBTQIA+ Therapy​

​

What is the need for LGBTQIA+ Therapy?

 

It's a space where you are celebrated, not just accepted. It's for navigating the stress and trauma of a world that often assumes everyone is straight and cisgender, healing from family rejection, or exploring your gender identity or sexuality without fear of judgment. It’s a space where you don't have to educate your therapist or justify who you are.

​

How can LGBTQIA+ therapy help?

 

Affirming therapy is a non-judgmental, anti-oppressive, and knowledgeable space. We are here to support you in exploring your identity, processing discrimination, navigating relationships, and healing from trauma. It's a safe container to show up as your full, authentic self and be met with the respect and celebration you deserve, no matter what you want to talk about.

​

Men's Therapy​

​

What does it feel like to be struggling as a man?

 

It can be an incredibly isolating experience. There's often a huge pressure to "be strong," "fix it yourself," or just "tough it out." This can show up as anger, irritability, overwhelming stress, or just feeling numb and disconnected from your partner, your kids, or your own life.

​

How can men's therapy help?

 

Men's therapy is a practical, confidential space to be real and work with your stuff. It's not about fixing you or forcing you to talk; it's about giving you a place to process the pressure and build new skills. We help you understand emotions, get ahead of burnout, and find straightforward ways to connect with the people you love.

​​

Self-Esteem Therapy​

​

What does low self-esteem feel like?

 

It often feels like you have a loud, harsh inner critic that just won't quit. It's the exhaustion of people-pleasing, the fear of not being "good enough," or the constant feeling that you're an imposter. You might find it impossible to set boundaries or feel like you always have to earn your right to take up space.

​

How can therapy for self-esteem help?

 

Therapy is a compassionate and safe space to finally quiet that inner critic. We'll help you explore the roots of those 'not good enough' stories and build a new, kinder relationship with yourself. It's about learning to set boundaries, trust your own voice, and build a deep, unshakable sense of self-worth that isn't dependent on anyone else's approval.

​​

Trauma Therapy​

​

What does trauma feel like?

 

Trauma isn't just about the event that happened; it's about how your body and nervous system are still holding onto it. It can feel like being stuck in survival mode—being on high alert, feeling numb and disconnected, having flashbacks, or being triggered by things that feel out of your control.

​

How can therapy for trauma help?

 

Trauma-sensitive therapy is a gentle, safe process that never forces you to relive your story. We help you heal from the impacts of past events, including Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). The goal is to help you safely release the stored survival energy from your body, so the past can finally become just a memory.​

Youth Therapy​

​

What does it feel like to be a teen right now?

 

It can be incredibly overwhelming. Teens might be feeling crushed by school pressure, the non-stop comparison on social media, or just trying to figure out who they are. It can feel like no one gets it, and it's lonely, even when they're surrounded by people.

​

How can therapy for teens help?

 

Therapy is a confidential, safe, and non-judgmental space to connect with someone new. It's not about being in trouble. It’s a place to talk about the things they can't (or don't want to) talk about with parents or friends. We're here to help them get a handle on the anxiety, build real-world skills, and just breathe.

Your Next Step is to Find a Connection

 

 

 

If you've scrolled this far, you might be feeling a mix of overwhelm and relief. Seeing a list full of problems can be a lot, but we hope you also see that you are not alone and that there is a clear path forward.

​

This page is a library, not a test. You don't need to be an expert on your problem. You don't need to know what kind of therapy you need.

 

You just need to know that you're ready for something to feel different.

​

The most important part of therapy is not the specialty or the approach; it's the safe, trusting, and human connection you have with your therapist.

​

Your only job is to find a person on our team who you feel a sense of "okay, I could talk to them."

​

From there, we do the rest. Your therapist will act as your guide. They will listen to your story, get to know you, and collaborate with you to find the exact path that works best for you.

​

The next step is simple and risk-free. We invite you to book a free, 20-minute consultation. It's just a conversation to see if it feels like a good fit. We're here to help you find your way forward. Contact us if you have any questions.
