Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
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 now work in private practice supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups. 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.

Melanie Wuytenburg
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, MSW, RSW
Welcome. I believe that everyone is doing their best at any given moment and that everyone has the ability to heal. Many people I work with are tired of old patterns of behaviours, thoughts and beliefs interfering in their lives. They hold a curiosity about wanting to learn more about their emotions, relationships with others and their inner world. With curiosity and compassion, I support individuals to engage in exploring how such patterns, thoughts and beliefs are held within the body, impacting their relationship with themselves and others. My primary focus is building a trusting relationship with you, empowering you to uncover your innate strength and resilience. You're not alone—let's embark on this journey together.

Claire Benade
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW
I'm so glad you are here! I know how hard taking the first step in your mental health can be, but you are one step closer to getting back to your best self. I am passionate about the work I do, and feel that building rapport with clients allows for the most growth and success. I strive to ensure that my clients feel they are heard, understood and feel they are in a non-judgemental space to express all their thoughts and feelings.
I am currently accepting new clients seeking individual therapy and specialize in children and adolescents, perinatal mental health and parent support and coaching. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and my job is simply to help you along this journey by guiding you, empowering you, and offering you direction and my own expertise. Whatever your journey may be, I am here for you!
Located rurally? I can still help! While I am located in Airdrie, AB I accept clients from across Alberta via virtual sessions.

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.
