Atsimbom is a caring personality who is naturally drawn toward assisting others. She has a bachelor’s degree in history, an MBA, a master’s degree in counselling psychology, and a doctorate degree in developmental psychology with a specialization in Child and Adolescent development. She is passionate about making sure that everyone has access to the necessary information and resources they need to look after their mental health. She believes that people are facing mental health issues, but that due to many factors, this topic is not being openly discussed.

Atsimbom has worked with several mental health organizations in Africa, Europe and the Calgary area, and is now leveraging her experience to give back to her community. Her competence in using various counselling modalities has informed her practice in counselling children, youth, adults, and couples.

“I operate using a culturally sensitive lens and understand how important faith can be to some people. I incorporate aspects of my client’s unique cultures into therapy as they request. This enables me to build rewarding, therapeutic relationships with my clients. My goal is to meet my clients where they are”, (Atsimbom).

No matter where you are on your journey or what challenges you’re facing, you are welcome here—exactly as you are. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood, with trust, authenticity, and cultural understanding at the core of my approach. Through curiosity, collaboration, and a touch of humour (because therapy shouldn’t feel so heavy all the time!), I aim to support you in a way that honours both who you are now and who you’re becoming.

My practice is rooted in an anti-oppressive, strengths-based, trauma-informed, and intersectional lens. I am deeply committed to working with individuals from all walks of life, with a particular passion for supporting Racialized and LGBTQIA2S+ communities. I take a holistic approach to mental wellness, recognizing the deep connection between mind, body, culture, relationships, and identity. By drawing from a range of therapeutic modalities, I tailor each session to fit your unique needs and goals.

At the heart of my work is the belief that healing happens in relationships. I take the time to truly understand your story, creating an inclusive, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, cultural identity, relationships, or other challenges, I’m here to walk alongside you.

I offer in-person and virtual therapy sessions for individuals in Calgary, Alberta. I am registered as a Counselling Therapist here in Alberta. I am also registered as a Canadian Certified Counsellor, which allows me to provide virtual therapy to clients across Canada, and as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I am happy to offer virtual sessions to individuals residing in Ontario.

You don’t have to go through your challenges alone. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honoured to support you

My name is Toyin Okikiolu. I am a licensed Social Worker with a master’s degree in social work and am authorized to perform psychosocial intervention. Also, I have an advanced certificate in couples and family therapy.
With over 20 years of experience working within the community and hospital settings, I have a unique perspective on individuals’ resiliency, courage, and strength in adversity. I know that life can sometimes be challenging, lonely, and stressful and that you need someone who truly listens and understands during these moments. As a counselor, I provide an empathetic ear and collaborative support to individuals, couples, and parents to succeed when faced with various relationships and mental health challenges. From depression to stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, all types of abuse, etc.
My therapeutic approach is not one-size-fits-all. I will tailor interventions or combine techniques to suit the specific needs of each individual. I understand that individuals and their circumstances are unique. Hence, I am dedicated to providing the individualized attention they deserve. I am here to help them navigate life’s journey as they gain the confidence and resilience to thrive and achieve set goals.

I’m currently accepting new clients. I work with adults and adolescents who struggle with anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, stress, self-esteem, life transitions, and other challenges. I also do couples counselling and pre-maritaI assessment and counselling. I use a range of therapeutic techniques that are best suited to each client’s needs. I’m excited to incorporate Virtual Reality (VR) into my practice alongside other therapeutic techniques like CBT, DBT, Mindfulness. Our VR therapy services offer an innovative approach to mental health and well-being, combining traditional therapeutic techniques with immersive and interactive experiences.

My approach to psychotherapy is client-centred and I help clients recognize their strengths, regardless of their past experiences. I aim to create a collaborative and non-judgmental therapeutic environment that respects each client’s unique cultural and existential context. I hold a Doctorate degree (PsyD) in Clinical Psychology.

It’s common for people to ask me why I left a successful career in IT management for clinical psychology. The answer is simple: compassion and passion. I prefer working with people to working with machines, and I’m passionate about helping others achieve their goals. My calling is to support people on their journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.

Change and growth occurs constantly throughout our life span. Consequently, I work with clients to recognize positive changes, build resilience, and explore their inner strength. I strive to provide clients with a trusting, caring, understanding and supportive environment, which allow clients to explore their healing journey.

I am a Registered Psychologist who is passionate about the work I do. I was born in Jamaica and migrated to Lethbridge, Alberta for university. I completed my bachelor’s degree from University of Lethbridge and my master’s degree from Gonzaga University. I use various therapeutic modalities to support the work I do with clients such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, Gottman Couples Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy.

I believe strongly in the importance of fit between a counsellor and client. As such, I provide free 15 mins consultation to discuss need and explore fit. I will work closely with you, ensuring you feel heard and help you to explore your full potential to achieve well being.

I personally believe that connection and the therapeutic relationship built between therapist and client is what can help us to heal and grow. My practice is based on building a genuine connection with you in order to help you become empowered to reach your goals. When working with me, you can feel confident that you will receive compassionate, caring and confidential therapy that focuses on your individual and unique needs. My desire is for you to leave therapy with a clearer internal sense of how to live based on what is most meaningful to you instead of allowing external events and people to determine that for you.

I am not a stranger to the highs and lows that happen in life. I draw from these experiences when I offer understanding and support to my clients. Asking for help can be a very terrifying decision to make, particularly when you are not sure whom to go to for help, what you need help for or do not truly believe in the process of counselling. I recognize the courage it takes to ask for help and the brave first step it is into the pursuit of personal well-being.

Professionally I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA) and I hold a Masters of Arts (MA) in Counselling Psychology. I have over 15 years of experience working with marginalized populations and I have experience working with a variety of modalities such as Solution-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic theories, and I individualize sessions to complement each client’s unique needs.

If you are struggling yourself, need to find some help or support from someone in your family or you are honestly unsure of how or where to begin, I assure you, you have come to the right place. My practice offers Individual Therapy, Family Therapy, Adolescent/Teen Therapy, Support/Therapy for parents, parenting consultations, Group Therapy, Online Therapy, Therapy for the student, Workshops, Team building and Public Speaking.

Please do not hesitate to contact me for a free phone consultation where I will be able to answer any questions you have and make sure I am the right person to help you and your family.
