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.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
The many successes achieved by my clients continue to fulfill my professional life. Be it as a hypnotist, hypnotherapist, or educator, I have witnessed those with whom I have worked accomplish so much because of their hard work, made easier through hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and their use of self-hypnosis. As I always tell my clients: "Your successes are 95% your doing. I have simply been your guide, in bringing out your potential." At the same time, I teach clients self-hypnosis so that they are able to self-manage challenges that may arise moving forward. Increasing confidence and motivation at a subconscious level, has propelled them toward achieving their goals and objectives far sooner than would otherwise be the case. I feel privileged to have joined so many individuals during a formative part of their journey. I encourage you to engage thoughtful evaluation when choosing a hypnotherapist. It is important to weigh each professional’s education, training, diversified experience, and competence as communicated by professionals in the same or related fields. In these regards, kindly visit my website at www.HypnosisMotivation.com. There you will learn what both clients and professionals have written about my service delivery. Their testimonials address my performance in private practice; the work I have done educating and training psychologists and marriage and family therapists throughout California; an overview of my work as a Senior Clinical Instructor in a medical center's pain clinic; and my service delivery as an adjunct professor, teaching hypnosis / hypnotherapy subject matter classes for the Department of Educational Psychology at California State Northridge. Beyond the foregoing the deciding factor in your choice of a hypnotherapist should be your own compatibility assessment with that individual, following a consultation about your expectations, goals, and objectives. I welcome you to have a consultation with me, at no charge, in these regards. You can phone me at (805) 358-1011 or email me at Stuart@HypnosisMotivation.com. Be well, Stuart

Jennifer Morley
Registered Psychotherapist, RP, MA, BSc, BA, CCPA
It’s not easy being human right now. Especially when you’re carrying anxiety, relationship strain, trauma, or the quiet exhaustion that comes from holding everything together for everyone else. I work with individuals and couples who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from themselves or the people they care about, and who are ready for meaningful change.
My approach to therapy is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based and trauma-informed approaches, helping clients build insight, emotional regulation, and healthier patterns in relationships. I place strong emphasis on safety, trust, and understanding the whole person, not just the symptoms that brought them to therapy.
I have extensive experience supporting individuals navigating anxiety, high stress, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. I believe therapy should feel like a space where you don’t have to perform, explain away your feelings, or have it all figured out. Together, we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and work toward greater clarity, connection, and emotional ease.

Meera Duncan
Counsellor/Therapist, Honorary Doctorate Psychology, Counselling Therapist,Clinical Counselling Hypnotherapist, & Author
Counselling, Psychotherapy, and Clinical Hypnotherapy for children, teens, and adults. In-person and online therapy sessions available.
I’m excited to share a new offering within my practice that I’ve been thoughtfully developing: a series of small, in-person group therapy programs designed to provide a unique and supportive therapeutic experience. The next Group Therapy sessions begin in September.
These sessions are truly unique, integrating counselling and clinical hypnotherapy to support emotional well-being, personal growth, and stress reduction, allowing for both meaningful discussion and deeper work focused on calming the nervous system and activating the parasympathetic response.
These small group programs are designed for children, teens, and parents, with a focus on building emotional resilience, confidence, and practical tools for navigating life’s challenges within a supportive and structured environment.
Group therapy programs begin in the fall.
Spaces are limited, so please email Meera if interested in registration for one of the group therapy programs. There is also more information about each program on her clinic website. Spaces are intentionally limited to maintain a supportive group experience.
Reaching out for support takes courage. I am passionate about guiding individuals through meaningful change and helping them reconnect with their innate capacity for healing and growth.
My work integrates counselling, psychotherapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and clinical hypnotherapy to support both the conscious and subconscious mind. This approach allows for deeper emotional processing, insight, and lasting transformation by addressing patterns at their root.
Whether you are experiencing anxiety, stress, or a period of transition, I provide a grounded and supportive space to explore your experiences, develop greater self-understanding, and create meaningful, lasting change.
Are you ready to begin experiencing your life in a new way?

Off the Beaten Path Psychology and Wellness
Psychologist, Registered Psychologist
At Off the Beaten Path, we know that individual struggles don't exist in a vacuum. They're connected to the whole family system. That's why we work differently, where you might come to us for support with burnout or people-pleasing, while your teenager sees one of our therapists for identity questions or wellness. We coordinate, listen, and we often step outside of traditional office into nature because that's where some of the best conversations can happen, including the breakthroughs that happen while in movement. Using evidence-based approaches like EMDR and attachment-focused work, we help families actually understand each other. If you're looking for therapy that feels real, genuine, and gets real results, please connect.
