Do You Offer Calgary Couples Counselling?

Yes! We have several psychologists and therapists that offer Calgary Couples Counselling, Marriage counselling and relationship counselling. Check our Couples Counselling service page to see what therapists specialize in providing Couples Counselling in Calgary and Alberta.

Do You Provide Direct Billing?

Yes! We provide direct billing where we can, it depends on your insurance company and the credentials of the therapist. Sunlife is one of the insurers that do not allow us to do direct billing. For Provisional psychologists we usually can only direct bill for AB Blue Cross and Greenshield. For Assessment work like psychoeducational assessments, we do not provide direct billing. We charge the assessment at the start of the process and when finished, we provide a letter outlining the services rendered that you can submit to your insurer for reimbursement.

What Kinds of Qualifications Do Your Therapists and Psychologists Have?

Our psychologists, counsellors and therapists will, at minimum, have a Master degree in a related field. Many are registered psychologists or provisional registered psychologists who are with licensed with the College of Alberta Psychologists and some are Canadian Certified Counsellors who are registered with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association See our therapists’ bios for detailed information about their credentials.

What Types of Therapy Do You Offer?

Our therapists are skilled in a variety of therapeutic frameworks. The most common framework is CBT, but all of our therapists are experienced in at least several frameworks and most are eclectic in the interventions they use, opting to use what works for the client instead of a adhering strictly to a single framework. Each therapist has the types of therapy they use listed on their profile page , and we also have a frameworks section that will list the therapists that use those frameworks on them. Beyond frameworks, we offer Child, Youth, Couples/Marriage, and Individual counselling for men, women, seniors, and lgbtq identified individuals.

Do You Offer In-Person Therapy?

Yes! We have an office located across from Mount Royal University in Southwest Calgary, close to where Crowchild Trail Meets Glenmore Trail.

Do You Offer Sliding-Scale Fees?

Unfortunately, we do not offer sliding scale fees. Our fees can be accessed on our pricing page .

Do You Offer Telehealth or Online Counselling?

Yes! We offer online video or phone counselling in Calgary and throughout Alberta. While some clients are not interested in video counselling, we do have excellent therapists who work exclusively online and all of our therapists who offer in-person sessions also offer online video counselling.

How Do I Schedule an Appointment?

We recommend taking advantage of the free consultation option first – you’ll get a chance to meet your therapist and ensure that the relationship is going to be a good fit and that you both believe you’ll be able to benefit from the relationship ahead of spending any money. If you’re certain you just want to go ahead and book a session, simply send us a text message with your first name, last name, and email address, or provide it through the contact form. We will get you setup in the booking system, send you the intake forms to complete, and when done, get you booked!

Can I Get In To See Someone Right Away?

Same day turn-around is generally very rare – we are not a crisis treatment center so if you can’t wait a little bit, it’s best to try contacting the Distress Centre. That said, it does happen that we can get clients in with a therapist right away if there is an opening or a cancellation – the biggest hold up is getting the intake forms completed.

Do You Offer Psychological Assessments?

Yes! We offer assessments for both Adults and Children, and we offer Psycho Educational Assessments, ADHD Assessments, and Cognitive Assessments / IQ Tests. See the pricing page for further details. All our assessments are conducted by a College of Alberta Registered Psychologist who specializes in assessment work.

How Many Sessions Will It Take?

We frequently get asked questions about how long it will take to see improvements. This is a really difficult question to answer and depends more on the client, the issues they are dealing with, and where they are at in their life than the therapist. Our main goal is to help educate our clients and provide them with the tools so that they can improve their lives and move beyond therapy.

Is Online Counselling Effective?

Online video counselling *can* be every bit as effective as in-person counselling, but it really depends on the situation. For young children, online counselling is likely not going to be effective because it’s much more difficult to engage them. For people dealing with very difficult mental health issues, or who already believe that online counselling is not effective, it likely won’t be as effective as in-person. However, for many clients who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, online counselling can be extremely effective and can be much more convenient for our busy schedules.

Raheleh's Background:

My journey as a mental health professional spans nearly two transformative decades, encompassing diverse landscapes from Iran, Japan, India, to North America. This journey has granted me a unique vantage point to witness the profound impact of psychology on personal growth, the journey to overcome obstacles, and the discovery of inner peace amidst chaos.

My academic pursuit culminated in a PhD degree in Psychology, complemented by graduate degrees (MA and MSc) from esteemed institutions in India and the USA. Additionally, I hold an undergraduate degree in Psychology from Iran, along with a postgraduate degree in Guidance and Counseling and two mental health-related certificate degrees. This academic foundation is a testament to my commitment to a multifaceted approach.

Throughout my professional tenure, particularly since my move to Canada in 2007, I’ve actively embraced diverse opportunities for growth. Notable among these are immersive training experiences under renowned figures like Dr. David Burns, where I delved into Advanced Applications of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Guided by Dr. Bruce Perry’s insights, I embarked on a transformative journey exploring The Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics (NMT) for Trauma, enriching my holistic therapeutic approach.

My therapeutic palette is expansive and dynamic, incorporating modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and innovative neurofeedback techniques. Equally comfortable in the realm of expressive therapies, I employ Art and Play Therapy to nurture emotional exploration and growth.

Beyond the practice realm, I’ve actively contributed by presenting research papers at national and international conferences, advancing the discourse on mental health. My journey finds further enrichment through collaborations with multidisciplinary teams and unwavering support for families of children with special needs.

I extend an invitation to embark on a transformative journey towards well-being with me.

Warmly,

Dr. Raheleh Tarani
