Empowering Your Mental Health

Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy offers a supportive space to explore what you’re going through and build tools to help you move forward. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, low mood, past experiences, or life stress, we work together to better understand your needs and what may be getting in the way.

Using an attachment and trauma-informed perspective, along with evidence-based approaches such as EFIT, ACT, CBT, and solution-focused therapy, sessions focus on building resilience, developing coping strategies, and supporting you in working toward your goals.

Couples Therapy

Individual Therapy

Individual Therapy

Couples therapy provides a supportive space to strengthen your connection, improve communication, and work through challenges together. We explore patterns in the relationship and help you build tools to better understand and support one another.

Using an Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approach, we focus on the deeper emotions and attachment needs that can impact how partners connect, helping create a stronger and more secure relationship.

Family Therapy

Individual Therapy

Child/Teen Therapy

Family therapy offers a supportive space to strengthen relationships, improve communication, and work through challenges together. We focus on understanding family dynamics and helping each member feel heard and supported.

With a strengths-based approach, we work with families to build on what’s already working while developing new ways to create a more connected and supportive home environment.

Child/Teen Therapy

Child/Teen Therapy

Child/Teen Therapy

Sessions for children and teens use a variety of approaches to support emotional well-being, behaviour, and school-related challenges. As a former teacher and school counsellor, Julie is comfortable working with children as young as 5 and brings an understanding of both home and school environments.

Sessions may include play, conversation, and connection-based strategies to help youth express themselves, build skills, and feel supported.

Virtual

Child/Teen Therapy

Trauma - Informed

Virtual therapy offers a convenient and flexible way to access support from the comfort of your own home. Sessions are provided through a secure, easy-to-use platform, allowing you to connect in a safe and confidential space.

Whether you’re at home, at work, or elsewhere in Alberta, virtual sessions make it easier to prioritize your mental health and work toward your goals.

Trauma - Informed

Child/Teen Therapy

Trauma - Informed

Trauma can stem from many different experiences, including early life experiences, attachment wounds, emotionally painful relationships, abuse, grief and loss, PTSD, motor vehicle accidents (MVA), and other distressing or overwhelming events. Trauma may impact individuals emotionally, physically, and relationally, often contributing to symptoms such as anxiety, hypervigilance, emotional overwhelm, sleep disturbances, intrusive memories, avoidance, irritability, and difficulties with relationships or day-to-day functioning.

The goal of therapy is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can better understand their experiences, build coping strategies, process difficult emotions, and work toward healing at a pace that feels manageable and respectful. Evidence-based approaches such as trauma-informed care, EFIT, CBT, ACT, and attachment-based strategies may be incorporated to support each client’s unique needs.

Please note, as of September 1st, 2025, fees at Open Door Psychology will be increasing to be aligned with the Psychologist's of Alberta Association (PAA). As such, 50-minute sessions will increase to $235 and 80-minute sessions will increase to $352.50.
