Parenting involves a lot of work and can bring up a variety of frustrations. Whether you are struggling with your own thoughts and feelings towards parenting, or struggling with the behaviours of your child(ren), I will work with you on strategies for coping as well as looking at the larger family dynamics to ensure the best support for you during these difficult times. I will help support you as we work through the thoughts and feelings you are having. Focusing on therapeutic relationship and building trust allows me to help support you while using a solution-focused lens.

Parenting can be especially challenging when you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally triggered, or trying to heal from your own childhood experiences. Whether you're a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) or simply want to break unhealthy patterns, together we'll strengthen your emotional regulation, build confidence in your parenting, and help you respond to your child with greater calm and connection. My goal is to help you become the parent you want to be while creating a healthier, more secure foundation for your family.
For:
parents healing from narcissistic or emotionally neglectful childhoods,
parents struggling with burnout,
parents who lose their temper and feel guilty afterward,
parents who want to break generational cycles.

Sabrina Ragan
Psychologist, CCC., CPT, R.Psych
Parenting can be one of the most meaningful and rewarding journeys—and also one of the most overwhelming. When emotions run high, behaviors feel unmanageable, or connection feels out of reach, it’s easy to feel lost or unsure of what your child really needs. I support parents with brain-based, attachment-focused strategies that help you move from reaction to response, from chaos to calm. Whether you're navigating tantrums, power struggles, or emotional meltdowns, I’ll help you understand your child’s behavior, build strong connection, and parent with confidence and compassion. You don’t have to figure it out alone—support is here.

Meredith Dow
Counsellor/Therapist, MA, CPC
As a mum of five kids, I get it. I get how hard it is to be the parent you hoped to be, when your kids are struggling and the work is piling up and the time is short. Often parenting can bring up struggles from our past, default ways of relating which we don't want our kids to experience. As we face our own pain, we're able to heal both for our own sake and the sake of our kids.
They're worth it, and you're worth it.
I also get how hard it is to prioritise your own healing. That's why sessions are available both in-person (to get away from the stressors at home and work) and online (to access therapy in the small window of time you have available).

Psychologist, RPsych
Parenting is one of the most rewarding roles in life, but it can also be one of the most exhausting. When daily life turns into a cycle of power struggles, meltdowns, sibling conflict, or constant stress, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, second-guess every decision, and run on empty. You don't have to carry the heavy weight of parental burnout alone, nor do you have to choose between strict discipline and chaos.
At Viewpoint Psychological Services in Calgary, our therapists offer a supportive, judgment-free space to help you rebuild confidence and calm in your home. Using practical, evidence-based approaches—including attachment-focused care, positive parenting frameworks, and family-centered support—we help you untangle daily friction and create systems that work for your unique family.
Together, we’ll help you:
- Manage Challenging Behaviours: Master clear, gentle, and effective strategies to navigate tantrums, set firm boundaries, and handle big emotions without constant yelling or battles.
- Strengthen Family Connection: Foster mutual respect and open communication with your children, turning daily routines into opportunities for genuine closeness.
- Replenish Parental Well-Being: Unpack parental guilt and stress, giving you the tools to recharge your own energy so you can parent from a place of resilience and steady calm.
You don't have to navigate the stress of parenting by trial and error. Let’s partner together to restore harmony in your home and help your entire family thrive.
