You don’t have to navigate this alone.

When emotions feel bigger, relationships feel harder, or you’re unsure how to support yourself or your child, it can be difficult to know what to do next.

Counselling can offer a space to slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and find ways forward that honour each person’s needs, strengths and experiences.

Child, youth & family counselling in Calgary can look different for every family. Support is tailored to your needs, whether you’re seeking counselling for your child or teen, support for yourself, or guidance as a parent.

About Carissa

I’m a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) based in Calgary, with over 14 years of experience supporting children and families in school and home settings.


My approach is warm, practical and connection-focused. I draw from play-based, attachment-focused and nervous-system-informed approaches to help children, teens and parents better understand what’s happening beneath the surface and find ways forward that fit their needs.


I believe counselling doesn’t need to feel clinical or intimidating. My goal is to create a space where children, adults and families feel understood, respected and supported as they navigate life’s challenges.

What You Can Expect


Counselling looks different for everyone, but there are a few things you can expect from the way I work:

1

A Warm, Welcoming Space

Counselling doesn’t have to feel clinical or intimidating. My goal is to create a space where you can feel comfortable, understood and respected.

2

Connection First

Building trust and understanding what’s happening beneath the surface comes before trying to simply “fix” a behaviour or problem.

3

Support Tailored to You

There’s no one-size-fits-all approach. Sessions are shaped around your needs, strengths, experiences and goals.

4

Practical Ways Forward

Alongside understanding and connection, we can explore strategies and tools that support meaningful change outside of the counselling room.
