I am thrilled to announce that at the beginning of March, I will be moving locations to a space that will allow me to expand to offer psychedelic assisted therapy! This is a very fast changing and revolutionary approach to therapy for so many individuals who do not respond well to the traditional approaches to therapy currently offered, or for those who are looking for a deeper approach to therapeutic services. I will continue to keep you updated as things continue to unfold!

Sometimes the time between a therapy session and the next one can seem too long. There are things that can help you work on your mental health journey the in-between time.

👉 Journaling - journaling is a great tool to use to write your thoughts down and express things you might find hard to express to family or friends

👉 Practice what you talked about in therapy - a lot of the times your therapist might give you things to work on or practice. Just like physio therapy, mental health therapy also requires outside work to be effective.

👉 Make time for yourself and rest - your body needs rest, even if like your therapy session you have schedule making time for yourself.

I'm Amber 👋

I am a therapist for the Calgary area! I offer a few different types of therapy! Keep reading to learn more about them 👇

🌿 Individual therapy for adults is 50 minutes long and uses a collaborative and strength based approach. You are provided with a safe and non-judgmental space. You will be able to explore your experiences with me. I also will provide you with tools and strategies to help create the healing and connection you are seeking.

🌿EMDR adult therapy is also 50 minutes but unlike traditional therapy EMDR uses bilateral stimulation to help you reprocess and become desensitized to overwhelming or traumatic experiences that may be impeding on your day to day life.

🌿Couples therapy is a 50 minute session that helps couples to improve communication, validation and mutual understanding. I help you identify new ways to listen and understand your partner in order to bring more love and connection back into your relationship.

🌿Children and youth therapy are in 30 minute sessions, and are supported in a developmentally appropriate way. Utilizing more play and creativity and using language that is more appropriate for your child in order to develop a safe and trusting connection.​

🌿EMDR children and youth therapy are also 30 minute sessions and uses developmentally appropriate strategies in the EMDR process. Using aspects of play to help children process experiences which may be otherwise difficult to do in more traditional therapeutic settings.​

What goes into a person's body has a direct impact to the way the body functions including the mind.

Regular intake of vitamins and minerals can help to balance the mind and body. Taking quality probiotics, magnesium, vitamin B complex, and frequent fruits and vegetables in your diet are just a few ways to help with the body/mind connection.

Speaking to a nutritionist can really help with specific conditions that you might be experiencing. ❤

If you have any questions about mind/body connection and nutrition drop them below!
