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.

Who We Support at NU Psychology

Adult Therapy in Calgary

Many adults appear “high-functioning” on the outside — while inside, they feel anxious, disconnected, overwhelmed, or burnt out.

Work, relationships, and day-to-day responsibilities can become heavy when you’re carrying more than people realize.

We help adults with:

  • Anxiety, panic, and constant overthinking

  • Depression, emotional numbness, and low motivation

  • ADHD-related overwhelm, time blindness, or shutdowns

  • Disordered eating, body shame, or perfectionism

  • Relationship fatigue, boundary struggles, or separation

  • Career burnout, identity loss, and major life transitions

  • Unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, or past experiences that still hurt

At NU Psychology, our focus is on helping you understand your patterns, regain clarity, and move toward a life that feels more grounded and meaningful.

Teen Therapy in Calgary

Many teens look “fine” on the outside—but inside, they may feel overwhelmed, insecure, or unsure how to cope with growing expectations at school, home, and socially.

Our Calgary psychologists support teens who are navigating:

  • Intense anxiety, panic, or school-related stress

  • Disordered eating, body image concerns

  • ADHD-related focus issues, emotional flooding, or shutdowns

  • Friendship challenges, peer conflict, or social pressure

  • Identity exploration, self-esteem struggles, or motivation dips

  • Family conflict, communication breakdowns, or transitions

  • Unresolved trauma, attachment wounds, or painful experiences

We help teens build confidence, emotional regulation skills, and healthier coping patterns—so they can feel more grounded, capable, and connected.

Couples Counselling in Calgary

Many couples look “solid” from the outside — but behind closed doors, communication feels tense, disconnection grows, and small issues start turning into bigger patterns. Even strong relationships hit seasons where support, clarity, and repair are needed.

We help couples work through:

  • Communication issues and recurring arguments

  • Emotional distance, resentment

  • Trust injuries, betrayal, or attachment wounds

  • Parenting stress, division of responsibilities, or blended family challenges

  • Relationship strain or shutdown cycles

  • Differences in needs, expectations, or conflict styles

  • Life transitions, career pressures, or changes in intimacy

Our goal is to help both partners feel heard, understood, and supported — rebuilding connection, strengthening communication, and creating a relationship that feels safe, collaborative, and aligned again.

Parent Counselling & Family Support

Parenting can feel overwhelming — even when you’re doing your very best.

We support parents with:

  • ADHD, autism, OCD, or emotional struggles in children and teens

  • Power struggles, shutdowns, and sibling conflict

  • Co-parenting, blended families, and separation

  • Parenting burnout, guilt, or self-doubt

At NU, we help you build confidence, connection, and calm at home
