Angela Popovici
Psychologist, Registered Provisional Psychologist, B.Sc Psych, MACP
I provide a supportive, non-judgmental space for parents navigating the challenges of raising children and managing family dynamics. I understand that parenting can be stressful, overwhelming, and sometimes isolating, and believes that small, intentional changes can create meaningful improvements in family life.
I work collaboratively with parents to develop practical strategies for communication, boundary-setting, stress management, and problem-solving. My approach emphasizes empathy, validation, and building confidence in parenting skills, helping parents feel more grounded, effective, and connected to their children.
I offer a safe and compassionate environment to explore challenges, strengthen relationships, and foster a positive and balanced family life—one supportive step at a time.

Kevin Jones

My approach to supporting parents focuses on creating a collaborative, non-judgmental space to explore the joys and challenges of raising children. I help parents understand the dynamics within their family, identify patterns that may contribute to stress or conflict, and develop practical strategies to strengthen communication and connection. Using evidence-informed approaches, including behavioural guidance, emotional regulation techniques, and problem-solving skills, I support parents in building confidence, fostering healthy relationships, and promoting positive development for their children. My goal is to empower parents to navigate challenges with clarity, patience, and resilience while nurturing a supportive and balanced family environment.

Our therapists work with parents to strengthen relationships, develop practical strategies, and manage the emotional challenges that come with raising children. You don’t need to have all the answers — just a place to sort them out.

Mia Klassen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, MPCC #3875, CT #2438, LSCC
Every parent and every child is different, which means parenting challenges are endlessly varied—and endlessly exhausting. Drawing on my extensive experience as a life skills coach and my own journey as a mother and grandmother, I help you navigate whatever stage you're in: toddler meltdowns, teen rebellion, blended family conflicts, or adult children struggles. We'll address both the practical strategies and the emotional wounds underneath your parenting patterns. You'll receive personalized book recommendations, learn approaches that fit your family's unique dynamics, and work toward personal growth that benefits everyone. Better parenting starts with understanding yourself—your triggers, your history, and your capacity for change.

Shelley Westergard
Counsellor/Therapist, Master of Counselling Psychology, MACP, Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, BA, Addictions Certificate
I am a mother of three and I can attest to the challenges that come and go with each stage for them and for us. When I work with parents I do so in a way to work with them for themself. I believe in order to have a healthy relationship with our kids and our partner, we need to work with ourselves first. I thank parents for wanting to work on their parenting and relationship with their children. This is not an easy quest to ask for, but one of the most important. I work with parents separately or with a parent and child together. I use the same approach as I would for couples, with emotionally-focused therapy. Addressing patterns, cycles, underlying hurts, and needs and aiming to create a safe and respectful space for communication.

Calgary's economy is closely tied to the energy sector, making residents particularly vulnerable to the psychological effects of economic downturns and job uncertainty. The city has a young, ambitious professional demographic with growing mental health awareness, and therapists here frequently address anxiety, burnout, relationship stress, and career-related identity challenges. Calgary also has a growing and diverse immigrant population, with many therapists offering culturally informed care for newcomers navigating settlement stress and identity transitions. Alberta Health Services provides a foundation of public mental health care, with a substantial private practice community serving the inner city and surrounding communities.
