The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step -- Lao Tzu. Coming to see a psychologist for counselling takes courage and is a step toward positive change. At Alberta Counselling Centre, our psychologists use a collaborative approach and rely on well established, evidenced-based therapies to address real life problems. We customize treatment plans for individual clients and their presenting symptoms, and use a variety of interventions and psychotherapeutic models, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution Focused Therapy.

Like adults, there are times when children can benefit from therapy. Therapy can help children develop problem-solving skills, coping strategies, and teach them the value of advocating for themselves by seeking help. Alberta Counselling Centre has experienced psychologists who specialize in treating children and can help them through difficult experiences and transitions in life. It's common for many children to feel overwhelmed at times and need help dealing with school stress, such as homework, test anxiety, bullying, or peer pressure. Others need help to discuss their feelings about family issues, particularly if major transitions are involved, such as a divorce, a big move, or serious illness. Anxiety, mood difficulties, trauma, and coping with ADHD, ASD, and/or learning disorders are also common reasons that parents may seek the help of a psychologist for their child..

There's no such thing as a perfect family; every family has different strengths and areas for growth. We embrace diversity and recognize that each family is unique. The treatment model our family therapists use is an integrative, strength-based, and resource-oriented approach. Our family therapists can help your family navigate a variety of life’s challenges. Life transitions can cause families distress and elevate stress levels. Life challenges such as the arrival of a baby, divorce and co-parenting, the death of a family member, and trauma cause stress and necessitate change. Whether it’s about improving communication skills, clarifying roles and boundaries, or learning new parenting strategies, we can help. Our family therapists are experienced in techniques used to help family members find common ground and function more effectively.

We recognize that families are busy, it's difficult for children to miss school and parents to take days off work to attend family therapy. Therefore, Alberta Counselling Centre offers daytime, evening, and weekend sessions for families. Please note: evening and Saturday availability will open in February, 2018. Please call reception if you have any questions.
