Back to School, Back to Sports

Tryouts. Team dynamics. Pressure to perform.

If you’ve got an athlete in the family, you already know—sports are mental, not just physical.

We work with young athletes to help them build confidence, manage stress, and stay mentally strong on and off the field.

From competitive teams to solo sports, we’re here to support the whole athlete—not just the stats.

Back-to-school season can feel exciting, but it can also bring stress and self-doubt for teens. Changes in mood, motivation, or sleep can sometimes be signs they’re carrying more than they can handle alone.

Therapy gives teens a safe place to talk openly, learn healthy coping strategies, and feel supported during an important stage of growth.

What do I say? How does it work? What if I cry?

Here’s the truth: You don’t need to know exactly what to say. You just need to show up. That first session is less about spilling everything and more about building connection and safety.

It’s okay to be nervous. It’s okay to say, “I don’t know what I need yet.”

That’s what we’re here for.

Teenagers get a bad rap—but we think they’re some of the most honest, creative, and emotionally intelligent humans out there.

At Cirrus, we work with teens who are navigating school stress, anxiety, identity, social struggles, and big feelings that don’t always have words yet.

If you’re a parent, caregiver, or teen yourself—just know:
You’re not too much. You’re not broken. And you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

If your child is constantly frustrated with school…

If homework ends in tears (for both of you)…
If the teacher says, “they’re just not reaching their potential”…
You’re not alone. And your child isn’t broken.
Sometimes, what looks like “not trying hard enough” is actually the brain working overtime to keep up.

A psychological assessment can help uncover what’s really going on beneath the surface—whether it’s a learning difference, ADHD, anxiety, or just a different processing style.

It’s not about labeling.
It’s about understanding.

Because when you understand how your child thinks, learns, and processes the world—you can give them the tools to thrive.
It’s not too early. It’s not too late.
It’s a starting point.

“For the parents who are just doing their best…”

If you're a parent, you probably ask yourself at least once a week:
“Am I screwing this up?”

Here’s what we want you to know: if you’re even asking the question, you’re already doing better than you think.

We support parents through tough transitions, tantrums, teen years, and everything in between.

You don’t have to do it alone.

You finally booked the session. Now what?

👉 We start by getting to know you—no pressure, no judgment.
👉 We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, and what you want to get out of it.
👉 You can ask questions. You can even cry. Or laugh. Or say, “I have no idea what to say.”

Your first session is about comfort and clarity. Nothing more, nothing less.

Let’s bust this myth wide open.

Therapy isn’t just for rock-bottom moments. It’s for the everyday stress, the relationship tension, the "why do I feel this way?" moments. It’s for growth. For boundaries. For breaking patterns.

And sometimes, it’s just for having someone who actually listens.
So no, you don’t need to “have it worse” to deserve support.
You just need to be human.

Let’s be honest.

Therapy isn’t easy. It’s not all pep talks and silver linings. We’re not here to tell you to “just be positive” or “look on the bright side.”

Because sometimes… it’s just hard. Therapy is real.
It’s honest conversations, deep work, and compassionate support—through every step of your mental health journey.

We don’t dismiss your feelings.
We sit with them. We explore them.
And together, we figure out what healing looks like for you.

Let’s do a quick mental health check-in.

How are you really feeling today?

And we’re not looking for “I’m fine” here...

Tired? Overwhelmed? Peaceful? Numb? Grateful? All of the above?

There’s no right or wrong way to feel. So however you’re feeling at this moment. It’s ok. And if you’re not ok - take some time to enjoy some fresh air, have a good chat with a friend, and remember we’re always here for you.

“True love is two imperfect people refusing to give up on each other” -unknown

Whether you’re wanting to deepen your bond or navigate some tough spots—therapy can help you and your partner show up for each other in a healthier, more connected way.

Relationships take work. But the right kind of work can bring you closer.

Couples therapy at Cirrus is a space for real talk, honest growth, and lasting connection.

Therapy doesn’t have to be boring.

AND it doesn’t have to be in a clinic. We are proud to offer many of our services outdoors, based out of the serene Casey’s Cabin in Lacombe.

Ecotherapy can do wonders for your mental health. So, when you’re ready, come take a walk with us.
