Onyx Counselling & Psychology

Onyx Counselling & Psychology We offer individual, couples, and family-centered counselling services in Sherwood Park and surrounding areas. You know the saying “it takes a village”?

Our online services are available to people across Alberta. Our team of therapists offers a safe, supportive, and caring environment to help you move through difficult situations, life's challenges, and major transitions, to a place of healing, growth, and connection. Life can be challenging and even complicated, but it isn’t meant to be done alone. We believe it really does. In fact, science prov

es it. At Onyx, not only do we understand the concept of the village, but we also embody it in our practice and philosophy. We believe that healthy relationships and strong supports are essential to wellbeing and quality of life. Our caring and compassionate team of therapists provide a safe space to unload some of the mental weights you have been carrying. We are here to support you and your loved ones with whatever you are dealing with, from everyday stressors to major transitions. Together, we will work toward meeting your therapeutic goals.

A little peek inside Tania’s work bag. 💼👀

From motivational stickers to her watch ring that helps her keep time in session, these little essentials help support her throughout the day. It is always fun to see the practical and personal items that come along with life as a therapist.

Tania is one of our Registered Provisional Psychologists at Onyx, and we thought this was a sweet way to get to know her a little better beyond the therapist chair!

Children and teens may not always ask for reassurance directly, but they are often listening closely for it. 🧸⁠
⁠
The words we use with kids can shape how safe they feel bringing us hard emotions, mistakes, questions, or parts of themselves they are still learning to understand. Consistent, supportive language helps build trust over time. It teaches children that emotions are not something to hide, and that they do not have to earn connection by being easy, agreeable, or okay all the time.⁠
⁠
Of course, no parent gets it right in every moment. Healthy connection is not about perfect words. It is about repair, presence, and showing your child that they matter even when things feel messy.⁠
⁠
When children feel emotionally safe, they are more likely to come to you when they need support, and that can make a meaningful difference in their mental health as they grow.⁠
⁠
At Onyx, we offer family therapy and youth therapy for children and teens. Reach out through the link in our bio to learn more.

Carleen favourite part of being a Positive Psychology Coach is seeing clients reach a place where they no longer need her in the same way they once did. 🥹⁠
⁠
To her, that is a sign that the work mattered, that growth happened, and that someone is walking away with more confidence, clarity, and support than they had before.⁠
⁠
That kind of progress is powerful to witness, and it speaks to the heart of why this work matters.⁠

This year’s CMHA Mental Health Week theme is Come Together, Canada, a reminder that connection is an important part of caring for our mental health. ⁠
⁠
We love this message because feeling supported, seen, and connected can make such a meaningful difference. Here are a few simple ways to invite more connection into your week. 💌🫧

Conflict in relationships is often about more than the surface issue. ⁠
⁠
Many couples come into therapy feeling stuck in the same argument, the same shutdown, or the same cycle of hurt. Emotionally Focused Therapy helps slow that pattern down and look at what is happening underneath it. Often, beneath frustration or defensiveness, there is fear, loneliness, longing, or a need for reassurance.⁠
⁠
EFT is a 9-step process that can be broken down into 3 stages, each designed to help couples better understand their emotional patterns and build a stronger sense of safety and connection.⁠
⁠
That is part of what makes EFT so powerful. It does not just teach communication tips. It helps couples understand the emotional pattern they are caught in, create new experiences of safety, and build a more secure connection over time.⁠
⁠
The goal is not a perfect relationship. It is a relationship where both people feel more seen, more understood, and more able to repair when things feel hard.⁠
⁠
At Onyx, we have therapists trained in EFT who support couples in building deeper connection and healthier patterns together. Swipe to learn more.

Not every therapist will be the right fit, and that does not mean therapy is not for you.⁠
⁠
The relationship you have with your therapist matters. Feeling safe, respected, and understood can shape how comfortable you are opening up, exploring hard things, and staying engaged in the process. Sometimes people leave therapy thinking it “didn’t work,” when really they may have just needed a different approach, personality, or pace.⁠
⁠
A good fit does not always mean sessions feel easy. It means there is enough trust for honesty, curiosity, and repair. You are allowed to ask questions, notice what feels off, and choose a therapist who feels like a better match.⁠
⁠
Finding the right therapist can take time, but it is worth it. The right support should feel like a space where you can show up fully, not perform wellness.⁠

We talk a lot about coping skills, but not always enough about connection. 🫀✨

The people around us, the support we feel, and our sense of belonging can have a huge impact on our mental health. When connection is missing, life can feel a lot heavier. When it is present, it can help us feel more grounded, supported, and less alone.

And connection does not have to mean a huge social circle. Sometimes it looks like one safe person, one check-in, or one small step toward letting yourself be supported.

In honour of Canadian Fertility Awareness Week, we want to name something important: fertility struggles can affect so much more than family planning. ⁠
⁠
They can impact your mental health, your relationship, your sense of self, and your day-to-day wellbeing. Grief, anxiety, shame, isolation, and emotional exhaustion are all real parts of this experience for many people.⁠
⁠
This is a deeply personal journey, and it deserves care and support.⁠
⁠
If you are looking for support through fertility or reproductive mental health challenges, consider booking a session with us. 🤍⁠

Body confidence can be a big thing for a lot of people, whether it comes up around s*x and intimacy or just in everyday life. In this video, our s*x therapist Carly is sharing some of her best tips for building confidence outside of therapy.⁠
⁠
And yes, she might be a little biased toward pole... but as both a s*x therapist and a pole dance instructor, she knows firsthand how movement can help people reconnect with their bodies in a more confident, empowered way. 💃⁠

April showers bring May flowers… and maybe this is your sign to start therapy 🌷⁠
⁠
Healing does not always feel light and easy at first. Sometimes it looks like sitting with hard feelings, naming what hurts, and giving yourself permission to be supported through it.⁠
⁠
Therapy can bring up the things you have been carrying, but it can also help you move through them with more clarity, care, and hope.⁠
⁠
This April, let the rain be a reminder that growth often starts in the messy middle.⁠
⁠
On the other side of the storm, something softer can bloom.⁠
