Vanessa Gear
Registered Psychotherapist, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying)
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.

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.
