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.

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.

Renee Chu
Registered Psychotherapist, Hon. BA., RP
Are you feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, struggling with ADHD, anxiety, trauma, grief, or emotional regulation? Do intense emotions or communication challenges make it hard to build the connections you want? With compassion and curiosity, I invite you to explore the roots of recurring patterns so you can achieve lasting change and emotional well-being. What you need matters, and you don't have to face any of this alone.
As a BIPOC, trauma-informed therapist, I bring experience working with neurodivergence, complex relationships, challenging family dynamics, and narcissistic abuse recovery. I use a bicultural and mindfulness-based approach, drawing from CBT, DBT, IFS, psychodynamic, existential, person-centered, and narrative frameworks to tailor care to your goals. My practice is rooted in a lifelong interest in the interplay between our shared humanity and individual uniqueness, and I believe meaningful change is possible when you feel truly safe, heard, and seen.
I work with a gentle, validating style. There is no right or wrong way to grieve, to struggle, or to heal. Together we can explore entrenched patterns, strengthen emotional regulation, and work through the barriers affecting your well-being and relationships. I tailor therapy to personal growth, healing, and identity exploration through culturally responsive, collaborative care, and I encourage you to be kind to yourself throughout the process.
I offer a complimentary 50-minute online consultation so we can get to know each other and explore whether we are a good fit. Reduced fees are available based on need. Reach out by phone or email, and let's take that first step together.
