I’m Tina, a therapist with a Master’s in Counselling Psychology and a Bachelor’s in Psychology. My background has given me both professional knowledge and personal insight into the challenges people face.

Professionally, I’ve worked in social services, mental health, and community support, supporting individuals from diverse cultures and life stages. These experiences have shown me the strength and uniqueness in every person’s story.

On a personal level, I understand how anxiety, self-doubt, and life’s big questions can feel overwhelming. Coming from a family of five, I’ve seen firsthand how uncertainty can shape us—but also how support can make a difference. My own journey has taught me that no one has to face their struggles alone, and it’s this belief that drives my work.

Today, I combine my education, professional experience, and personal understanding to create a safe, compassionate space for clients. Whether through therapy, advocacy, or simply listening, my goal is to help others find clarity, confidence, and their own path forward.

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 approach to therapy is rooted in cultural sensitivity, respect, and empowerment.

Together, we can address the emotional, psychological, and social impacts of trauma, and the intersectionality of identity and trauma whether it be from personal experiences, historical trauma, or systemic oppression. I strive to support clients in their resilience, growth, and healing journey.

Whether you are navigating the impact of intergenerational trauma, anxiety, stress, grief and personal hardships, I am here to offer you an empathetic ear, a nonjudgmental presence, and the tools necessary to navigate your healing process.

Are you noticing some ongoing challenges in your relationships to others and yourself? Do you ever feel a void, an emptiness or even a cloud following you wherever you go and you can’t seem to fully get why? That can be an extremely difficult and painful experience, especially as you are trying to navigate through the world. Unfortunately, most of us don’t set enough time aside to tune into ourselves, heal some of our wounds and navigate through our complex layers. This avoidance can lead to some long-term affects in our intimate relationships, at work, with our kids, and more.

We offer trauma and relationship therapy, using an anti-oppressive psychodynamic approach to co-create a space with you that will allow you to work through patterns and support you in strengthening your toolbox for life!

Whatever the challenge or struggle, you don’t have to suffer in silence. IT IS OK TO NOT BE OK!! Reassuringly, there is collaborative support available to get you through.
Relieve yourself of the burden and embrace the opportunity to explore a new version of yourself with me, Latoya Reid: an experienced, non-judgemental, authentic and empathetic psychotherapist. I have worked extensively with diverse populations. My lived experiences help me to validate, value and understand each client, and build a therapeutic alliance.

As your psychotherapist, I will employ a tailored multidimensional approach that takes into consideration your trauma and cultural context, while collaboratively selecting therapeutic tools to cultivate wholeness.

Whether we believe it or not, our lived experiences have created a core belief about ourselves and influences a core language we use to describe ourselves, which prevents us from being our authentic self or the desire to change. Here’s a truth, you have permission. You have the permission to change, to grow, to develop, to advocate for what you need, create new habits and, to unlearn and learn again. The beauty in the journey is you don’t have to do it alone and I’m here to journey with you.

I believe that you know your story best. Utilizing modalities such as CBT, Solution focused and Narrative therapy to support you bringing meaning to your lived experiences. I support individuals with navigating through life transitions, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, spirituality, trauma and more.

It is my desire to hold space for you in the therapeutic relationship and that you feel heard, validated, affirmed and at times challenged all in a joint effort to get you where you want to be holistically.

Are you an adult, adolescent, or family struggling to connect the dots and make sense of ruptured self, lack of inner peace? It could be challenging trying to heal trauma or mend broken relationships as a family. When left unresolved, trauma can become part of us. Taking a fresh lens of Healing Centred Approach, my goal is to support you in developing insight into holistic restoration of your wellbeing. I believe individuals are multidimensional beings therefore my goal is to help you unfold and unpack your concerns in order to alleviate suffering and foster healing.
My speciality entails supporting clients of diverse backgrounds. I draw from diverse therapeutic toolboxes such as Cultural Betrayal Trauma Theory, Solution Focused, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Family Systems , Person Centred, Multicultural, Solution Focused Brief , Rational Emotive Behaviour therapy.
Incorporating cultural traditions, seeing the individual as the expert in their own life, whatever complementary therapeutic approach I integrate in therapy, I respect that individuals present with complex issues that offers some understanding of their struggles or illnesses. The aim is to identify coping strategies as we unmask shame and promote healing.

Whether it’s anxiety from relationships, pressure from work, or a disconnect between your values and decisions, we all can feel lost at times. Maybe you know exactly where you desire change, or you are uncertain and don’t know where to start, I’m here to help! My goal is to work alongside you to create a space for you to engage in self-discovery, process life events, unlearn unhelpful beliefs and behaviours, build coping skills, and work towards inner peace that often feels eluding. Together we can re-gain a sense of control over your life and mental health as no matter what’s led you here, I believe in the human capacity to adapt and grow with the right support.

You being here is a big step, as I know from personal experience finding a therapist who “gets you” can be overwhelming, especially for those of us from racialized communities. During our time together, we will explore your current circumstances and create a plan for moving you closer to where you desire to be.
