At BehavMed Psychological Services we believe that an important goal of therapy is the client's independence. Independence to pursue, at their own speed, the nature and content of the problem(s) that resulted in them seeking our assistance. Collaboratively, through the use of core "helper dimensions" (accurate empathy, respect for the client, genuineness, and concreteness) we seek in a non-judgemental manner to encourage our clients to engage in the core "helpee dimensions" of exploration, understanding, and action. At all times, in all interactions, we acknowledge that we "will be an expert on a process, not on the nature and content of a particular person's problems" (Martin, 1983). Through the use of traditional, contemporary, and trauma-informed psychological theories and practices we are available to consult no matter what concerns you have - there is always a better way.
We are a holistic mental health clinic with online and in-person session options. We are located in Didsbury, Alberta. When you meet anyone on our team, you can expect to feel heard and seen for who you are. We are non-judgmental, empathetic and genuine therapists. We pride ourselves on our inclusive and accessible practice. We recognize that healing will look different for each person and, therefore, we use an integrative approach that allows you to be in the driver's seat. You are the expert on yourself after all! We are here to ask you the hard questions and guide you through your journey.
