Therapy in Calgary | Strength-Based Psychologists for Adults & Teens
Rewriting Your Story with Therapy
Every person carries an inner story. Some chapters lift us up, while others weigh us down. At NU Psychology, our Calgary psychologists help you uncover the beliefs that no longer serve you — and re-author your story with compassion, strength, and clarity.
We provide therapy for adults, teens, parents, and couples — in person at our Killarney office and online across Alberta. Our work is strength-based, narrative-informed, and always tailored to your goals.

Disordered eating, body shame, or perfectionism
