Hello, my name is William Fraser. I am a Provisionally Registered Psychologist. I earned my Masters of Counselling from the University of Lethbridge. However, like many things in life, my journey to psychology was not straightforward. Before becoming a psychologist, I spent time being a sponsored snowboarder, construction worker, social worker, and marketer. All these careers were great, but my interest in people eventually brought me to counselling. I love helping people work through the many issues, obstacles, or concerns of life, whether big or small. In fact, I’m honoured to do this work.

But how do I work? At the foundation of my practice is the belief that “offering dignity to a person is above all things.” This quote might sound a little nerdy, but it reminds me to offer a space without judgment or bias, a space where you can feel safe to be yourself. From this foundation, I use a more holistic perspective that incorporates many ways of helping. My goal is to do my best to use strategies that resonate with who you are and what you want out of therapy. We will collaborate throughout therapy to make treatment unique to your situation, background, and personality. It is with this tailored approach that I believe lasting change can be made.

Modality:

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment Theory, Gestalt Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Gottman’s Method, and Play Therapy.

Who I work with:

Adults, Teens 15+, Couples, Groups

Hello! My name is Holly Tilden, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Child and Youth Care Counselling from Mount Royal University and a Master of Counselling degree from the University of Calgary. I am also certified in university teaching and learning and am a part-time instructor. I am a member of the Psychological Association of Alberta and the Canadian Psychological Association.

I believe that a good relationship is at the core of counselling. Some of the ways that I think a strong working alliance can be built is through respect, defining and working towards goals together, celebrating successes, and navigating barriers and obstacles in a nonjudgmental, kind way. I strive to bring my authentic self, a strong sense of ethics, a love of learning, and a bit of creativity to my interactions with all people.

I have been involved in the addiction and recovery field for approximately 15 years and have also worked within a variety of programs for vulnerable youth and families.

I sincerely enjoy working with all types of populations and concerns, yet I am especially passionate about working with people managing eating disorders, trauma, substance-use concerns, conflicts in relationships, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. I am actively involved in ongoing research and training to continue to learn evidence-based tools, techniques, and skill building that can help people live their most authentic, joyful life. I look forward to meeting you.

It is an honour to live, work, and play on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy (Siksika, Kainai, Piikani), the Tsuut’ina, the Iyarhe Nakoda Nations, and the Métis Nation. I strive to conduct myself in a manner that demonstrates truth and reconciliation.

Warmly,

Holly Tilden (she/her)

Originally, I am from Thailand. I immigrated to Canada around the year 2003. The languages I use for speaking, reading, and writing are Thai and English. My practice primarily involves providing psychological services to children, adolescents, adults, and family.

I use various evidence-based therapeutic modalities to create individualized treatment plans. I see my clients as a whole person through the lens of biological, psychological, and social influences.

I also provide behavioural management for behavioural issues (e.g., tantrums, excessive video gaming, school refusal, and bullying). My role here is similar to a trainer or a coach to both my clients and their families.

Hello, my name is Jessica Johnson. Calgary is my home and I’ve also had the privilege of living in northern Alberta, Ontario, and Southeast Asia. I have a Master of Social Work degree (Clinical Specialization) and have been registered in Alberta since 2014. Early in my career I trained extensively in clinical hypnosis and strategic therapy; I’ve been a member of the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis for a decade. Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) is another approach that I value and utilize in my practice.

I care deeply about working with people to achieve meaningful growth and change. This began from a young age and was especially influenced during my involvement in therapeutic wilderness-based and cross-cultural programs. My approach and style as a therapist has been shaped by many of these experiences. Ive come to appreciate the way in which growth can occur at the edge of your comfort zone. I’ve also learned the value of knowing where you are, where you’re going, and having the right tools to help you navigate. At times, the assistance of a skillful and knowledgable guide (or counsellor) can be pivotal.

In careful consideration of each client’s unique presentation, skills and areas of need - I will strategically draw upon particular interventions and modalities. I believe therapy cannot be a ‘one size fits all’ approach. Your collaboration is important and we will work together to map out the most relevant pieces of the puzzle considering your individual characteristics and circumstance. It is an honour and privilege to walk alongside people through some of their most significant and challenging life experiences - a responsibility I am grateful for and do not take lightly.

Hello, I am Audra Potter. I hold a Master of Social Work from the University of Calgary and a Masters in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I am a registered social worker with the Alberta College of Social Workers. My experience working within different types of mental health settings has taught me to view the challenges people face from a holistic perspective, meaning I see the personal and environmental influence on the problems we face, how we are able to cope with those problems, and the paths towards healing that are available to us.

My practice is truly a reflection of my personality, style, and values. The things that I teach clients and use as treatment planning are not just evidenced-based techniques, but ideas and skills that I use as part of my own mental wellness practice. I work primarily through a cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavioral lens. Most of my work with clients starts with collaboratively exploring the issues that clients bring to therapy and formulating specific treatment goals that will guide treatment planning. I am a problem-solution focused therapist, meaning, I am interested in exploring the problems you bring to therapy and then teaching you specific skills that offer more effective ways to manage these problems.

One of my passions within therapy is facilitating DBT skills groups. I started co-facilitating these groups in 2018. DBT skills offer clients very tangible, concrete solutions to the problems in their lives created by ineffective behavior. It is such a wonderful experience being able to teach and share these skills with clients in a group setting.
