Individual therapy

Maybe you're feeling anxious, low or restless, or you're stuck in a pattern you'd like to break. In individual therapy, we work together to understand those patterns, explore what you're feeling and build coping skills that fit your life. Depending on what fits you, our clinicians draw on approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Internal Family Systems, somatic work and relational therapy. Sessions are available in person in Cochrane, by phone or by secure video. Learn more about individual therapy

Couples counselling

Couples counselling gives you both a place to work through conflict that keeps coming back, communicate more clearly and reconnect. Eric Kang (Registered Psychologist), Ben Hofs (Canadian Certified Counsellor) and Nancy Russell (Counselling Intern) all see couples. Nancy has Level 1 training in the Gottman Method and draws on Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Ben has a sub-specialization in couples navigating ADHD and autism. Sessions are in person in Cochrane, by phone, or virtual from anywhere in Alberta. Explore couples counselling

Family therapy

When one person in a family is struggling, everyone feels it. Our family therapy supports the whole family, from children and teens to parents and caregivers, including parent coaching, sibling support and guidance for blended families. Our Registered Psychologist and counsellors work together so each family member gets coordinated support. Learn about family therapy

Trauma therapy

Trauma can live on in the body and leave you feeling on edge, disconnected or overwhelmed. Our trauma-informed care pays attention to the mind, body and nervous system, and we move at your pace. Eric Kang, Registered Psychologist, offers Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT), a somatic-based approach. Julia Sokulski, Canadian Certified Counsellor, works with adults and older teens affected by complex and childhood trauma. Learn about trauma therapy

Autism and ADHD counselling

Alyssa Lightfoot, Canadian Certified Counsellor, offers neuroaffirming counselling for autistic and ADHD people, especially those who are diagnosed or start to understand their neurodivergence later in life. She also works with teens. The focus is on understanding how your brain and nervous system actually work, so you can work with yourself instead of against yourself.
