Individual Therapy
Individual therapy is a type of psychotherapy that involves a one-on-one relationship between the therapist and client. The purpose of individual therapy is to help the client understand his or her own thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. The therapist may also help the client develop healthier ways of thinking about themselves, other people, and their world.
-
Couples Therapy
Marriage prep therapy and family therapy address many topics that are important for healthy relationships, including conflict management, communication skills, understanding your needs and desires, emotional regulation and forgiveness skills.
-
Children & Adolescents
Child and adolescent therapy can give kids the tools to overcome struggles, provide a safe place to explore feelings or the extra little boost to achieve that goal. When it comes to your children, you want the best and a little guidance can lead to healthy life. Our therapists can draw upon a multitude of experience and researched domains such as art intervention, mindfulness, and thought re-framing to build a connection and give your kid the resources to succeed.
-
Play Therapy
Play therapy is a therapeutic approach primarily used with children, allowing them to express their feelings, thoughts, and experiences through play rather than traditional words. It allows kids to explore emotions, resolve conflicts and communicate issues they may not have words for.
-
Parenting Coaching
Parenting coaching offers compassionate, practical support to help you navigate the complexities of raising children while also tending to your own emotional wellbeing.
Our sessions are supportive and non-judgmental spaces where you can share frustrations, ask questions, and explore new approaches to parenting. It’s not about being a perfect parent. Instead, it’s about becoming a more present, confident, and emotionally aware parent.

Established Calgary Psychology Clinic
As we approach our fourth anniversary, we’re excited to share some big news - Center Street Psychology is expanding!
The best part? We’re staying right where we are. We’re growing into the unit next door, giving us more space to support our clients and our growing clinical team, while keeping the same welcoming, bright, and familiar clinic clients know and love.
Our clinic will remain fully open throughout the renovations, and there will be absolutely no interruptions to client sessions. We’ll be working behind the scenes next door while continuing to provide the same care and services in our existing space.
Our expanded clinic will continue to be filled with the sunlight and openness, with the additional space allowing us to offer:
Two specialized play-based therapy rooms, providing dedicated spaces for children and families, including families with siblings attending counselling at the same time.
Five new clinical offices, creating additional space for our growing team of psychologists.
A dedicated assessment testing room, offering clients a quiet, private space to focus during psychological assessments.
The new spaces are scheduled to open before 2027, and we can’t wait to welcome you into our expanded clinic!

Seeing a psychologist can be a great way to improve your mindset. It can help you figure out what's going on in your head, and it can provide you with the tools you need to help yourself feel better. Here are some of the benefits of seeing a psychologist:
-You'll gain insight into what's causing negative feelings or behaviors in your life.
-You'll learn how to manage those feelings and behaviors, so they don't take over and cause problems for you anymore.
-You'll gain tools that will help you live a happier life!
-
At your first appointment, you'll have a chance to meet with your psychologist and talk about what you're going through. You can expect to discuss things like your goals and expectations for therapy, how often you'd like to meet, and what kind of support you might need from family members or friends.
If you haven't seen a psychologist before, it's normal to feel nervous or even scared. But don't worry! Your psychologist is there to help you and make sure that you feel safe during this process.
-
You are the expert in your journey. It’s important you find a therapist that fits your needs. The relationship you have with your therapist is imperative for the client to meet their desired outcomes.
If a psychologist is a good fit, you should feel comfortable, heard, and safe. Many people go through life feeling like they are not good enough or can’t achieve their goals. Having a safe space to talk about your thoughts and feelings can be very helpful in learning more about yourself and figuring out ways to change the things that don’t work for you.
-
No, you do not need a referral to see a psychologist. You can choose to see a psychologist without anyone else's input, but if you do want to talk to your doctor or other health care professionals about why you think seeing a psychologist would be helpful for you, they can give you feedback and advice on how they think it might go.
Additionally, we are a team-based organization and want to provide comprehensive psychological care, which may involve us working with your doctor, psychiatrist, or other health care professionals if necessary.
-
We believe in collaborative care, meaning we want to find a balance between respecting your requests as the parent, and allowing a child/adolescent to have their own voice and be heard.
We encourage you to accompany your child/adolescent for their first visit, after which we can determine whether attending the session with them will be more beneficial, or if having you wait in our waiting area is better suited for their needs.
-
The length of time it takes for therapy to work depends on the person, their experience with therapy and the issues they are working through.
In general, clients will often start to feel relief after about 8 sessions. We recommend staying in therapy for 3-6 months at a time before making a decision about whether or not you want to continue.
