Solasta Counselling
Psychologist
At Solasta Counselling, we believe that therapy should feel human, not clinical. Based in Calgary and serving clients across Alberta and beyond through virtual care, our practice is built on compassion, connection, and evidence-based support. We are a diverse team of psychologists and counsellors offering individual, couples, child, and family therapy, as well as comprehensive psychological assessments including ADHD and autism evaluations.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, parenting stress, or life transitions, we’re here to meet you with understanding and expertise. We take the time to match you with a therapist who truly fits — someone who gets your story and can support your goals. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and neither are we.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. Let’s take the next step, together.

Denelle O'Reilly
Psychologist
I provide therapy to children (ages 6 and up), adolescents, and adults in St. Albert, Spruce Grove, and the surrounding areas. I also offer virtual therapy to clients across Alberta. My approach is practical, collaborative, and supportive. Whether we are working together in therapy or completing an assessment, my goal is to help you better understand what’s happening, reduce distress, and develop strategies that actually fit your life. I aim to create a space where clients feel understood, respected, and not judged.

If you are new to therapy or never really found the right match, you may benefit from a more structured & directive clinician. Tell me what you need from our time and I will be responsible for guiding us there and keeping us on track. Therapy is not meant to stay in session - let's bring the work to life!

Is your child or teen feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, ADHD, school challenges, or difficulty managing big emotions? Perhaps learning differences, neurodivergence, family conflict, or life transitions are creating stress at home or school. I work with children, teens, adults, and families who want a supportive space to better understand these challenges. Together, we focus on building emotional regulation, confidence, coping skills, and stronger relationships so clients feel more capable, understood, and supported in their daily lives.
I specialize in supporting children, teens, and families navigating ADHD, autism (ASD), anxiety, school issues, learning challenges, and life transitions. Using CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and experiential approaches, including play-based techniques, I help clients strengthen emotional regulation, build coping skills, and develop greater confidence and resilience
Behind every behaviour is a story waiting to be heard. If you or your child feel overwhelmed, misunderstood, or stuck, therapy can provide a supportive space to slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Together we’ll explore strengths, build practical tools, and create meaningful change so you can move forward with greater confidence and connection.

Melissa Clark
Psychologist, Registered Psychologist
Parenting can feel heavy, uncertain or at the worst of times - overwhelming. This is even more true when we're unsure about what to expect in our children around their behaviour, development, thoughts and feelings. Questions that parents often bring to therapy include: How do I respond when my child is misbehaving? What is the most effective way to teach my child skills they need in the world? Do I trust my instincts, my childhood memories or the many, many places where ideas are shared online. The most important piece to remember in all of this is that you do not have to figure this out alone. My role is to partner with families to understand what’s happening beneath the surface and develop practical strategies that create real (and lasting!) change.
