Maybe you aren't living this life the way you hope to.
Do you feel stuck, overwhelmed, hopeless or confused?
Maybe you want to get out of the past, out of your head, or not get so caught up in your thoughts or emotions.
Sometimes you can't stop the:
-
endless worrying
-
negative patterns
-
beating yourself up
-
shoving things down
-
tension and pain
You want to know what's going on and how to feel good.
You’re here because you want a better life.
Life can be complicated and messy.
Everyone struggles with issues, new or old, big or small.
Adults have to deal with relationships, family, work, money, sex, grief, change, values, health, and illness.
Maybe you're also dealing with anger, anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem, or trauma.
It can be hard to talk about this stuff.
What we see and feel is wrong in our lives is often only one part of the picture. There's a lot happening behind the scenes.
You’re in the right place – if individual therapy has helped you before, if it didn’t work last time, or even if it’s your first time trying.
Going to counselling doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you.
A therapist can help you figure out what's going on and how to move forward.
Individual counselling can help you feel clear and connected.
You can be calm and confident.
When you understand why you do what you do, you have more choice and control.
You can find meaning and purpose.
You can engage in healthy ways at home, school, work and in relationships.
You can look forward to reconnecting with what makes you happiest.
It is possible to create a life you look forward to.
What if you could...
-
laugh more often
-
trust yourself
-
enjoy each day
-
be more curious
-
feel at peace
Our individual therapy centers around compassionate care with empathy and non-judgment.
We can help you identify and heal patterns, pains, and unmet needs in yourself and your relationships.
We all have things we want or need to change about ourself and how we relate to others.
Therapy is good for everyone.
An individual counselor can help you:
-
understand your experiences
-
accept and regulate emotions
-
stay in the present moment
-
express your thoughts and feelings
-
be comfortable in your own body
At Therapy Alberta, we want individual counselling to be successful in more ways than just outcomes.
We strive to create safe therapy spaces where it becomes okay to be vulnerable and experiment.
Our team is committed to helping you feel seen, heard, understood, believed and accepted as you are.
Your story matters. We want to listen and help.
We're not here to judge you. We want you to feel good about therapy and meet your goals.
Our individual counselling team in Calgary is affirming, inclusive and welcoming of 2SLGBTQIA+ and BIPOC people.
Individual therapy helps people improve their relationship with themselves and others.
Our #1 priority is the relationship you build with the best counsellor for you.
Our therapists focus on providing personalized care.
Your counsellor gets to know you and tailors their approach to best support your unique needs and preferences.
Our team draws from different types of therapy in their approaches:
-
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
-
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
-
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
-
Mindfulness and Somatic Therapy
All our therapists value the principles of compassionate and trauma-informed care.
You can choose a therapist based on what feels most important to you.
Online and in person therapy is a private and easy way to find and connect with your ideal individual counsellor.
You can connect to a therapist from anywhere in Calgary or Alberta.
The best therapist to meet your needs might live in a different area.
We offer in person counselling too, but we love online therapy because it's convenient and flexible, especially for busy adults.
Online counselling is covered by private insurance, and you may even find it's easier to connect online.
There's no commute, waiting room, or bumping into others. You are familiar with your environment, and have all your favorite comforts within reach.
We offer online video and phone individual counselling across Alberta. All you need is a phone, or for a video session, a device, internet, and a quiet place to talk.
We offer evening and weekend appointments to fit your lifestyle.
Is counselling confidential?
What happens in therapy stays in therapy! We care deeply and go to great lengths to protect your privacy. Your counsellor is bound by strict confidentiality laws to keep your information private unless they have to share information in some cases of immediate risk or legal obligation.
How do I know if I need therapy?
Just being curious about therapy is a good enough reason to go! You don't need to be in crisis or have trauma to start counselling. Therapy is one way to improve your mental health, relationships, mood, and happiness in life. Therapy is for everyone.
Will I have homework in counselling?
Whether you attend weekly or biweekly, the time you spend in therapy weekly will likely give you something to reflect on or practice between sessions. If you would like specific homework, you can ask your therapist for tasks to engage in during the week.
Does insurance cover counselling?
Most private and employment insurers cover counselling and therapy under health or paramedical services. You can check with your insurance provider to find out how much coverage you have or read about insurance coverage in Alberta.
Do I have to see an individual therapist near me?
With online therapy, you are able to connect with counsellors across Calgary and Alberta so you have more choice in finding the best therapist for you, based on your needs and preferences. You can choose from psychologists or therapists who live across the province and find the best fit for you.
How much does individual counselling cost?
Our therapy sessions are $220 with a Psychologist or Social Worker with direct billing for most insurance companies, or a receipt to claim for re-imbursement or as a medical expense on your taxes. Individual sessions with a Certified Canadian Counsellor are $180; check with your insurance to confirm coverage for mental health counselling. Sliding scale fees are available.
Our compassionate counsellors want you to meet your goals and like your therapist.
We get it. We're people too.
Our individual therapists want to join your journey and help you heal and thrive.
