Sehr Athar
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I believe that healing is growth in the face of adversity; it is a journey of coming (back) into yourself with deep self compassion, and we all have insight into how to get there. Sometimes we just need a bit of support along the way; someone to hold (non judgemental space) and work alongside us to find solutions, develop coping strategies and build on our innate skills and wisdom so that we are more emotionally resilient to life's challenges. I look forward to holding this space for you.

Kacper Kalin
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, MTh
Since embarking on my training in psychotherapy in 2003, I have continually encountered evidence reaffirming the crucial role of the therapeutic relationship in facilitating positive outcomes. Together, we can establish and nurture a trusting therapeutic alliance, where your feelings and thoughts are not only valued but also progressively understood with increasing accuracy and awareness. This holds true for both individuals and couples seeking therapy.

MindfulWe Holistic Psychotherapy & Counselling Services
Registered Psychotherapist, MA, RP, IMD (candidate)
Therapy is not meant to last forever, it is a tool to serve you, and the only way to know if the tool worked for you is with successful completion of your goals. I describe myself as your human GPS, sitting in the passengers' seat while you sit in the drivers seat, you tell me where you want to go and I will get you there! Despite all the challenges you may have been through, I firmly believe that you are your own expert and you already have all your own answers. Sometimes challenging experiences have clouded access to this internal knowing. I assist and empower your true essence in order for you to make life affirming decisions that align with your values, and ultimately live a wholehearted life. We surpass focusing on the issue that brought you in to therapy, to making and reaching life goals. It takes a lot of courage to begin this journey inside yourself. Together, we can understand the root cause, nurture it back to vitality & feel the ripple effect on all parts of your life.
I am also currently pursuing a PhD in Integrative Medicine, which gives me alternative healing practices to incorporate into your treatment if/as you wish. I breathe this work, it is my love and passion. It is my utmost pleasure and honor to work with you and help guide you to the wise inner wisdom that resides within every human, today!

Nakasha Ogbonna
Registered Social Worker, RSW
I am a dual province (Ontario & Alberta) registered social worker specializing in mental health. Before entering private practice, I served as the University of Calgary’s Mental Health Consultant where I was the primary on-campus therapeutic support for staff, faculty, and post doctorates. I now work in private practice supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups. I also have specialized training and experience working with first responders and their families in dealing with operational stress injuries. My breadth of experience includes work with patients accessing community public health as well as school aged youth in primary and secondary school divisions.
Life is hard enough. Therapy does not need to be overly stressful. For this reason I take a relaxed approach, infusing light humour while discussing your deepest thoughts and concerns. I aim for your time with me to be one of the best parts of your week, because it is where you know you can be your authentic self with a warm and non-judgemental supporter.
Therapy can work for anyone when there is a strong relationship between the client and therapist. For this reason I prioritize building a strong therapeutic partnership with my clients that is grounded on transparency, empathy, and unconditional support. Think of me as a GPS for your mind. You pick the destination and I’ll show you how to get there.

Aelea Syed
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist
Accepting new clients! Everyone has unique lived experiences which impact how one views themselves and the world around them. Regardless of your experiences and what you may be going through, I aim to create a safe and non-judgemental space for you to share your life story and work collaboratively to discover or rediscover your values and meaning in life. As a Registered Psychotherapist (Q), one of my key passions is to help people discover their inner strengths and foster positive growth. I help clients struggling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, trauma-related concerns or coping with various life and role transitions.
I draw from integrative therapeutic techniques from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. My approach to therapy is compassionate and culturally sensitive and I strive to encourage a supportive environment to reach a place of healing and growth.
Taking the first step to reaching out can be difficult so I want to thank you for taking this step and beginning this journey towards healing. I hope to support you and make this process as comfortable as I can. Don't hesitate to contact me for a free consultation.
