Angela Jones
Registered Social Worker, MSW, RSW, BSW (Psychotherapist)
Parenting is deeply rewarding, but it can also be one of the hardest roles we take on. From managing daily stress to navigating your child’s emotions and behaviors, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed at times. I provide evidence-based support using approaches such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help parents strengthen coping skills, set healthy boundaries, and parent in ways that align with their values. Together, we’ll work on creating a calmer, more connected family life.

Viewpoint Calgary Psychological Services
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.
