This baby officially became ours yesterday!
Our counselling agency is opening a larger office in the North. It will have 22 offices. We have all the upper windows, around on both sides and all around the back. This is located in the very busy area of Crowfoot village NW.

We will have practicum students, provisional psychologists, psychologists, a psychiatrist, a nurse practitioner and an endocrinologist.

The system is very broken and this is one way we can try to fix it and support people better. Perimenopause and low testosterone are wreaking havoc on people's mental health. 40% of men 40 and over have low testosterone which makes them depressed, irritable and aggressive. Those clients who are treatment resistant because their cortisol levels are actually too high and counselling won't work until their levels are lower. This is all an easy fix!

An emergency appointment with a psychiatrist is a minimum of 4 weeks. People have already decided to end their lives by waiting that long. This needs to change.

Imagine coming to an agency, your life is falling apart, you cannot sleep and your psychologists says we can help you with some medication and full blood panel to ensure we get to the root of everything to actually really solve the problem.

We are quickly becoming the largest agency in Alberta and the premier place to receive treatment.

We will also keep our south office as it is busting at the seams with clients who need support in the South.

Exciting more initiatives and partnerships are coming this year. Stay tuned!

Also if you ever need an amazing commercial real estate agent is your guy! Months of hard work finally came together. Thank you, Gary.

Every child learns in their own unique way, and sometimes challenges in school or at home signal the need for deeper understanding. A psychoeducational assessment provides clarity on how a child thinks, processes, and responds to learning situations, giving parents and educators valuable guidance. 🌟These assessments explore cognitive skills, emotional health, and everyday functioning.

With clear recommendations and strategies, families gain the tools they need to support growth and confidence in their child’s learning journey. πŸ“˜

Boundaries are not walls, they are bridges to healthier and more balanced connections. By clearly defining what feels safe and supportive for you, boundaries create space for growth and preserve your mental and emotional health. They protect your time, energy, and relationships in ways that allow you to thrive and feel more in control of your life. 🌿
β €
From physical and emotional boundaries to limits around time and relationships, each one plays a vital role in shaping your well-being. Therapy can guide you in identifying where limits are needed and in learning how to set them in ways that feel both empowering and compassionate. πŸ’‘
