Compassionate Support At a Reduced Cost

Hello!

My name is Leah, and I am currently completing my Master of Social Work at the University of Calgary. I am committed to creating a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you feel heard and supported. I believe that every person has a unique story, and I meet each client with curiosity, empathy, and respect for their lived experiences.

My approach is person-centred, recognizing that healing begins with a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship. Together, we'll explore the experiences that have shaped you, build on your strengths, and work toward meaningful change at a pace that feels comfortable for you.

I am interested in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, and emotional wellbeing. Whether you're facing a specific challenge or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, I look forward to supporting you on your journey.

Hello! My name is Alisha, and I’m so glad you’re here. As an Indigenous woman, I understand struggles like addiction, unhealthy family dynamics, spiritual insecurity, depression, anxiety, insomnia, and self-harm. I know that having the right resources is crucial for one's mental health and I want to help you be prepared for success when facing life’s most difficult challenges.

I have over 7 years of experience in the field and bring this diverse knowledge and expertise into my own practice as a psychotherapist. Working at a shelter supporting women and children fleeing from intimate partner violence has given me the experience necessary to assist individuals in beginning their journey of self care and healing. This involves working with individuals to set boundaries, navigate challenges in parenthood, heal from toxic relationships and self-growth.

I am also passionate about working with Indigenous children and their families and have worked closely with this clientele to support, advocate, and assist families with various complex issues.

I would love to assist you in navigating life’s journey and I hope we connect soon,

Alisha

I am a Qualifying Registered Psychotherapist completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University under clinical supervision. With more than 20 years of experience supporting adolescents, adults, and parents in community and child welfare settings, I have developed a deep appreciation for the resilience people demonstrate in the face of life’s challenges. My approach is integrative and person-centred, drawing from evidence-based therapies including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Motivational Interviewing to meet each client’s unique needs.

Acknowledging the need for support can feel overwhelming. It’s often easier to keep pushing forward than to pause and admit that something needs to change. My goal is to offer a warm, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you feel safe to be yourself, explore what you’re facing, and move toward meaningful change at your own pace.

As a man, and through both my personal and professional experiences, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for the unique mental health challenges men often face. I understand the stigma, and the quiet shame, that can accompany asking for help. Many men learn to carry their struggles silently, so choosing to reach out is an act of courage and strength.

I welcome conversations about anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, grief, addiction, life transitions, self-esteem, relationships, parenting, boundaries, spirituality, and self-care. If faith is an important part of your life, I also welcome incorporating it into our work together. While I enjoy working with adolescents and adults from all walks of life, I have a particular interest in supporting men and young people as they navigate identity, emotional wellbeing, and personal growth.

I believe each person is the expert in their own life. My role is not to tell you who to become, but to walk alongside you as you gain insight, discover your strengths, develop practical coping strategies, and create meaningful, lasting change.
