Hello. My name is Reem and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. Creating an environment that is honest, safe, and empathetic is of utmost importance to me. A space like that provides the basis for a trusting therapeutic relationship. Therapy is not meant to be a business-like transaction; there has to be elements of humanity and authenticity interwoven within the process. Keeping this in mind, my approach is that of a collaborative experience, which centres your story outside of stigma and judgement. 

My goal as a therapist is to walk with you in times of chaos, and provide support in a way that builds you up to face life’s challenges as they come up. I also recognize that culture, religion, or faith may have an important role in your life. Therefore, I welcome you to bring it in our sessions as you see fit.

Hello, I am Karlynn. I have over a decade of experience as a therapist. My career journey has taken me on many paths, including working in a number of non-for-profits, schools and alongside pediatricians and physicians. My greatest desire is that you feel heard and supported. 

My priority is to provide a warm and welcome space. I use a collaborative and integrative approach, using elements of a number of therapeutic modalities. I want to build on existing strengths while creating a plan to help you reach your goals.

Born in Calgary, I have been a world traveller and love to see new places. I enjoy reading books, training Bonsai trees (a skill I learned growing up in Japan), paddle boarding and spending time with my three young adult, adopted daughters.

Hi, my name is Andrew, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I am passionate about supporting mental health and reducing the stigma that surrounds it. I believe in developing meaningful therapeutic relationships that include compassion and creativity as core components.

My goal as a counsellor is to make you feel heard and acknowledged, and empower you to be an active collaborator in our sessions. I utilize an intentionally integrative approach to therapy, and value feedback and input from clients throughout the process. I will work with you to create space in which you feel able to be vulnerable, and I am here to support you with the challenges you are experiencing and the changes you desire to make.

In my personal life I enjoy spending time outdoors as much as I can, including activities such as hiking, paddleboarding, and snowshoeing. Other hobbies include spending time with dog, attempting to improve my cooking skills, and dabbling in video games.

Counselling for teens (13+), adults and couples

Areas of Focus: Depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, emotional regulation, grief, coping skills, and stress management.

Hi, I’m Anita. I am a registered psychologist with over a decade of experience. I know life is full of highs and lows and have experienced many of the agonies that you also may be experiencing: feeling lost and alone in the world, dealing with unspoken family traumas, questioning whether my marriage could survive, sitting at the bedside of a dying loved one, and sleepless nights when I wondered how I would get my children to adulthood. I believe my professional and personal experience equips me to support your through the challenges you are facing. If you are struggling, I want to help.

My goal as a counsellor is to create a safe, comfortable space for you to work through whatever you are going through. I believe we all have the capacity to grow and change. I use a feedback informed, integrative approach to support you in making the changes you desire.

When I am not working, my favorite thing to do is spend time with my husband, 3 young adult children, and my golden retriever. I love camping, travelling, yoga, puttering in my yard, reading a good book, or spending time among the trees. I believe balance is the key to a fulfilled life, so I am working hard to find that!

Frequently Asked Questions

A psychologist is a mental health professional who has gone through the rigorous educational and experiential training required to join the College of Alberta Psychologists. Psychologists assess, diagnose, and treat psychological, emotional, behavioural, and relational challenges in order to assist clients to understand themselves and their experience and make the changes that will allow them to function at their best.

No. Psychologists in Alberta can not prescribe medication. If you would like to explore the use of medication for a psychological concern, please talk to your doctor. In some cases, a family doctor may recommend you see a psychiatrist, a medical practitioner who received specialized training in the assessment and treatment of mental health conditions.

There are many kinds of mental health practitioners in Alberta. Some, like psychologists and social workers, are regulated health professionals. Others are professionals certified through other governing bodies. For further information on the different designations click here – Link to blog on Professional Designations.

As psychologists, we are licensed to work in Alberta. That means we can work with you as long as you live in Alberta. If you are located in another province, please look for a mental health professional in your province.
