We all encounter some degree of difficulty within our lives, and sometimes we find it difficult to navigate these hard times alone. If your relationships have become unfulfilling, or you are experiencing a loss of a relationship, difficult time communicating in your relationships, disrupted sleep, reduced pleasure in previously enjoyable activities, excessive worry/concern, workplace distress, job loss/transition, finding it hard to cope with stress and pressure of daily life, or finding it challenging in adapting to new roles within your life, then allow me to help. I am a Registered Psychologist and a doctoral student, and within my therapeutic practice, I create a safe and comfortable environment within which we will work collectively in exploring, processing, and constructing effective solutions to help restore calm and peace within all domains of your life. With the right support and guidance, we can find remarkable resiliency and persevere in face of adversity.

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, 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.
