| CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGY AND PSYCHOTHERAPY SERVICES
 The
stresses and challenges of everyday life can get to all
of us from time to time. When events or stresses are extraordinary,
it can be overwhelming. Meeting with a counsellor can
be helpful in these situations. Talking it through, finding
a different perspective, being supported, or forming a
plan for coping, can all aid in recovering your well-being.
Sometimes this can happen in only a few visits.
Our psychologists use a variety of psychotherapeutic approaches
including cognitive-behavioral therapy, interpersonal,
psychodynamic, addiction counselling, hypnotherapy and
existential approaches. We provide assessment and psychotherapy
services for:
• Emotional Distress
• Relationship Issues
• Health Psychology
• Sexuality
Separation
and divorce is an intensely emotional time. It is not
uncommon to feel hurt, angry, guilty, confused, scared
or all of the above.
The Separation Support Program is designed
to get help you sort out the emotion and get on with your
life. It can also save you time and energy by getting
the emotion out of the legal process. We will help you:
• Understand and move through the
stages of divorce
• Understand what is in the best interests of your
children
• Help you address your emotions in a healthy way
When the decision to divorce has been
made, the Interdisciplinary Collaborative Divorce process
offers a healthy and effective way for families to navigate
this difficult time. It involves a team of trained professionals
who work with the family to find the best solutions to
legal, financial, and childcare problems – solutions that
work best for everyone involved. The team includes Mental
Health Professionals acting as coaches for both parties,
a child specialist representing what is best for the child(ren)
involved, an unbiased financial specialist who gathers
financial information and provides projections and advice
regarding the division of assets, and finally, lawyers
who represent their clients legal interests. The team
approach has been proven to be highly effective at moving
families through the divorce process without litigation,
and at nurturing individualized and creative solutions
to a family’s needs. Coaches trained in the Interdisciplinary
model are available through the Calgary Psychology Group.
Because
our group is comprised of only college certified, clinical
psychologists, we are recognized and covered by all extended
health care plans.
We
also have a wide network of other highly qualified psychologists
in the city possessing a wide range of specialized knowledge,
and can aid you in finding an appropriate referral.
