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.

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

Greetings,

I am a registered provisional psychologist dedicated to providing individuals of various backgrounds and individuals from Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) communities
culturally informed trauma therapy. With a deep understanding of the unique experiences and challenges faced by marginalized populations, I am committed to creating a safe and inclusive space where clients can explore their traumatic experiences and work towards healing.

I use evidence-based therapeutic techniques, tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. I understand that trauma manifests differently within different cultural frameworks, and I am committed to integrating culturally relevant practices to ensure effective treatment. Together, we can address the emotional, psychological, and social impacts of trauma, whether it be from personal experiences, historical trauma, or systemic oppression.

My approach to therapy is rooted in cultural sensitivity, respect, and empowerment. I draw upon evidence-based therapeutic techniques and interventions, including Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), narrative therapy, and mindfulness tailored to the specific needs of each individual, taking into account their cultural background, values, and beliefs. 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. We can cultivate a therapeutic relationship built on trust, collaboration, and understanding.

At Roadside Therapies, I’m dedicated to helping individuals reconnect with themselves and find genuine relief from trauma, anxiety, and life’s many challenges. With over 12 years of experience in mental health, I use an integrative, person-centred approach, combining traditional therapies like CBT and DBT with specialized techniques such as Brainspotting and Flash Technique. My practice is grounded in a holistic perspective, inspired by generations of natural healing traditions that prioritize meeting each client exactly where they are.

My goal is to provide a compassionate, effective therapeutic experience that helps clients find peace, self-trust, and sustainable healing. Let’s work together to navigate your unique path forward.

Hi, I’m Vanessa, a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) with a Master’s in Counseling Psychology and over 8 years of experience supporting diverse and vulnerable populations.

My practice includes individual, family, couples, and group therapy, addressing issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, acculturation stress, and family dynamics. I provide a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental environment where everyone is welcome.

Building a strong therapeutic relationship is key to my approach, which is trauma-informed, person-centered, and culturally sensitive. I tailor treatment using evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy, adapting to your unique needs and background.

Life is unpredictable, and resilience is crucial in facing its challenges. I believe in the inherent strength within each of us and am here to guide you through a journey of empowerment, healing, and growth. If you’re ready to take the next step, let’s get started together!

My name is Shirwa Ali. I am a psychologist born in Somalia but raised here. I am passionate about helping others especially those who grew up in a similar reality. I am committed to helping people navigate their mental and emotional challenges using evidence based practices. I firmly believe that every person deserves a safe and supportive environment to explore their inner world and develop strategies for personal growth and healing. My goal is to walk with you on your journey with compassion, empathy and non-judgment.

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.

My expertise is BIPOC individuals in the 16 – 35+ age range navigating relationship issues, self-exploration, life and career transitions, trauma, self-esteem issues, stress, anxiety, and family conflict. 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.

Change can be hard, but you don’t have to do this alone! I offer in-person services in Edmonton and Alberta-wide virtually. My primary approach uses CBT, ACT, SFBT, and strengths-based therapy through a cultural relevancy lense. Wherever you are in your journey, I’d love to connect! I offer in-person meetings in Edmonton and work virtually elsewhere – offer direct billing with Alberta Blue Cross, Medavie, Greenshield Dejardins and Canada Life and receipts for other EHB plans. Feel free to reach out for a consultation or checkout my site for info!

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.

Hello, I have been working with individuals, couples, and families for almost two decades. I am passionate about supporting individuals in need of relief from emotional pain.

I believe in the importance of open and vulnerable communication and I work very hard to help families become closer through safe conversations. It is my belief that providing support to family members individually and collectively can foster a safe, emotionally healthy, and engaging environment for all.

Clients have the option of a spiritual and/or a non-spiritual therapeutic experience. Regardless of the approach of your choosing, I will respect and meet you wherever you are.
