Kevin Ruddell
Psychologist, M.A., R. Psych
Everyone's challenges are unique to the person. I like to try identify causes of symptoms that present rather than try and treat symptoms. As such, in our appointments we will try to make them specific to your needs and I willing accept feedback for what clients wish to focus on rather than follow a fixed agenda.

Laura Hall
Psychologist, MC, Registered Provisional Psychologist
Have you been experiencing thoughts and emotions about your past, present and future that are impacting your major life areas? If your mental health is affecting areas of your life such as relationships, career, health, spirituality and personal development, I would like to guide you towards quieting the mind of these thoughts and emotions. Learning and practicing the necessary tools to aid in coping is a vital . Being vulnerable to your thoughts and emotions can be challenging, and learning to sit with the uncomfortable is difficult. However, the good news is that you already possess the skills needed to address these issues. During our time together, I will help you to uncover and practice these skills in order to live a more clear headed and focused life.

Broken Gold Counseling
Registered Social Worker, MACP, MSW, RSW
********I AM OFFERING A VIRTUAL 12 WEEK DBT SKILLS GROUP STARTING 30 APRIL 2024 FOR RESIDENTS OF AB, ON, NS. IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, PLEASE CONTACT ME FOR FURTHER DETAILS********
Life is a journey comprised of the choices we make. We all have the ability to change course at any time by making different choices. No one is stuck, and no one has to be a victim to their past, their mistakes or feel trapped by their behaviors. Even our mistakes or tragedies we have experienced, have the power to transform us in brilliant and beautiful ways, if we chose to take responsibility. My practice is based on the idea of Kintsukuroi. This is the Japanese art of pottery repair, in which broken pieces of pottery are mended using precious metals. The resulting piece is often more beautiful than it was before it was broken. Its cracks make it unique, and the shining way it has been mended now becomes a valuable feature.
I believe that difficult times do not have to break us, but can help us grow , and our cracks can become opportunities to mend ourselves back together in beautiful ways. Our cracks can be reminders that even broken things can still be golden.

Carl Conradi
Counsellor/Therapist, CCC, MSc, MBA
My name is Carl Conradi, and I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) based in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I’m an integratively-trained counsellor, which means that I draw upon three different therapeutic approaches – existential, cognitive-behavioural (CBT), and psychodynamic – to help support processes that are warm, exploratory, philosophical, and totally unique to each client.
My particular approach to counselling is highly relational and non-pathologising. I believe that all psychological experiences are instructive – even those that feel unbearable – and that within the context of the bond that you and I will create together, you’ll be invited to explore new ways of thinking, feeling, and being in the world.
I work with adult and adolescent individuals who are experiencing a wide array of psychological challenges, including (but not limited to): attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, loneliness, men’s issues, problematic anger, obsessive-compulsiveness (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), relationship difficulties, and/or work-related stress. I’m also very skilled at working alongside folks who are navigating major life changes, such as: bereavement, diagnosis, divorce, job insecurity or loss, etc.
I’m a passionate advocate of mental wellbeing within the LGBTQIA+, veteran and first responder, and consensually non-monogamous communities.

Shannon Loewen
Psychologist, M.Sc. Counselling Psychology
What do you do when you are struggling or feeling lost and overwhelmed? How do you support yourself? For me, well-being comes from knowing that no matter what life throws at you, you can courageously and compassionately face it and give yourself what you need to get through it. It comes from knowing you have the strength and ability to cope with any uncertainty. When we know how to support ourselves, we can face and get through anything.

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 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.

Amy Sheffield
Psychologist, Mc(Psych), Registered Psychologist
It can feel incredibly overwhelming trying to choose the right therapist. The anxiety, sadness, loneliness or lack of control you may be experiencing can make it feel hard to even get through the day. You may be thinking you cannot possibility go on feeling and managing this way and need someone who will listen, understand and offer some effective solutions. Finding a psychologist that creates this type of comforting environment can be one of the most important first steps in therapy. I make every effort to compassionately hear your unique challenges and create a personalized goal and therapy plan to help you become the best version of yourself.
