I hold a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Lethbridge and a Master’s of Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. My diverse professional background spans various industries, including oil and gas, family law, senior care, and children’s sports, where I’ve worked and volunteered.

Hi! My name is Tamara Constantine. I’m a Registered Provisional Psychologist (supervised by Carly Sharpe) with a Master of Counselling in Applied Psychology from the University of Lethbridge. I also hold a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Bachelor of Education. 

Before I started my journey to become a psychologist, I worked as an elementary school teacher for several years. During this time, I developed a strong understanding of child mental health and behaviour, and worked closely with families and caregivers. I’m passionate about supporting adults, teens, and children ages five and up. With children, I utilize a Child-Centred, Synergetic Play Therapy approach. In my work with adults and teens, I draw from a variety of approaches, including Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Mindfulness, and somatic therapies.

My areas of interest include eating disorders and disordered eating, with a special interest in binge eating disorder, body image, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, burnout, phobias, emotional regulation, people-pleasing, and life transitions. I’m committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and non-judgmental space where people feel genuinely seen. My style is warm, compassionate, and collaborative, grounded in the belief that meaningful and lasting change happens when individuals feel safe, supported, and understood.

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions throughout the week, with daytime and evening availability, as well as select holiday appointments.

In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, going to yoga, baking, paddleboarding, and anything that involves summer and warm weather!

I may draw from a variety of theories including Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Systems Theories, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness.

When not working, you can find me spending time with my family, often cheering on my two kids at their endless extracurricular activities.

Oki, hello! My name is Kalli Eagle Speaker and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I have my Master of Education (MEd.) degree in Counselling Psychology and my Bachelor of Arts and Science (BASc.) degree in Indigenous Studies and Psychology.

I am Blood/Blackfoot and proudly come from the Blood Reserve. My background as an Indigenous woman influences and inspires my role as a counsellor, personally and professionally. I recognize the many disparities that exist in healthcare, and it is my goal to ensure those who seek counselling services feel heard, seen, and understood. I am an advocate for culturally-competent care in the mental health field, and I am grateful to offer a unique perspective.

My counselling work is influenced by my Blackfoot way of life, where we emphasize story-telling that explores our experiences, promotes introspection, and collaboratively reflects on the lessons and insights of your journey, so far. I emphasize trust and rapport as a foundation of the therapeutic alliance, and I am grateful to be in the presence of my client’s stories that are often unheard by others.

I implement evidence-based modalities and techniques in my work where we will explore what works for you and tailor to your needs. My therapeutic perspective works to address the various parts of you that make you whole, to explore the chapters in your narrative, and to ensure that we work collaboratively to identify the goals for your counselling journey.

In my story, I am a hockey player and an avid hockey fan (go Flames go!), a jingle dress dancer, a seamstress and beader, and an auntie who loves music, comedians, and building Lego.

I work Tuesdays and Thursdays with daytime and evening appointments available. Please feel free to contact me at kalli.counselling@gmail.com for any inquiries, or use my booking link to schedule an appointment.

Hello, Oki, Taanshi! My name is Alannah and I am a registered provisional psychologist (License #P7895) under the supervision of Erin Musick, one of the owners of LCS. I grew up in small-town Saskatchewan and have called Lethbridge home since 2018. 

My specialties include supporting couples, parents, individuals, and youth (10 years and up) with relationship concerns, identity exploration, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and low self-esteem. Clients often describe their experience with me as informal and relaxed, impactful, and genuine. 

My approach to therapy is person-centered, meaning I strive to create a therapeutic environment that feels safe, open, and non-judgmental with YOU as the expert in your own life. I incorporate interventions from Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy, and Somatic Therapies to create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs. My wish is for my clients to create lasting change in their lives they feel proud of.

Outside of work, I treasure precious time spent with my husband and two young sons. On the weekends I'm often either camping, hiking, bird watching, or (if the weather isn't cooperating) baking/cooking with my family. I LOVE metal music, so if you see me headbanging in my car on the way to the office, be sure to wave hello!

I offer daytime and evening appointments. I can be reached directly by email at afwpsychservices@gmail.com 

Hi! I’m Kelsey Ronne and I’m a Registered Provisional Psychologist (being supervised by Erin Musick) who is dedicated to helping people feel empowered in their experience of life, and to learn how to trust and integrate their innate wisdom.

With the professional work aside, I am first and foremost a human who has experienced complex trauma, anxiety, and chronic health challenges. As a therapist and space-holder, I come with empathy for and understanding of what it’s like to feel stuck, in pain, and living in a cycle that can’t seem to be escaped. In the midst of my own journey, I have learned about the importance of connection, safety and learning the language of my body, instead of trying to solve or fix what isn’t broken. It is my belief that wherever you are on your path: you make sense.

My work is rooted in curiosity, compassion and exploration - my intention is to create a safe space for my clients to realize they are already growing in the right direction (because that’s life!), while feeling supported and guided in the ways that best meet their needs and challenges. 

​I combine my experience, intuition, heart, science and evidence-based therapy/treatment methods in our time together to ensure you are seen for all the parts of you that make you, not just your symptoms. I believe that healing happens when we are met exactly where we are, in spaces where we are seen, heard and supported. I am happy to be offering appointments, three days a week, daytime and evenings. I can be reached directly via email at kelsey.counselling@gmail.com 

Hello, my name is Karla Conte. I have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, a Master of Science in Neuroscience and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist being supervised by Carly Sharpe. 

With 20 years in the mental health field and two Master’s degrees, I bring a unique perspective to my work as a Provisional Psychologist. My education and research background allows me to integrate evidence-based practices with a strong understanding of the neurobiological aspects of mental health. I use a person-centered, psychoeducational and eclectic theoretical approach to counselling that fosters healing uniquely tailored to the needs of the individual.  I create a welcoming environment for all my clients and foster an atmosphere where they feel safe and supported in exploring their concerns.

I work with adults and my areas of interest include depression, ADHD, anxiety, geriatrics, grief, trauma, narcissistic abuse, familial concerns and stress management.

My perfect day would include coffee, learning, music, still waters and spending time with my husband and 4 beautiful children. As a Provisional Psychologist I believe in the body and mind’s innate ability to heal and renew. Currently I am offering appointments on weekday evenings. I can be reached directly via email at karla@kcpsychology.ca 

Have you ever found yourself wondering, “Why am I like this?” or “Why do I keep ending up here?”

Maybe you’ve noticed that some experiences from growing up are affecting you as an adult. Perhaps you learned to always keep the peace, put others first, stay focused on everyone else’s feelings, or handle everything on your own. But now, you find it difficult to set boundaries, trust yourself, manage conflict, or feel comfortable and at ease in relationships.

Or maybe you keep finding yourself in relationships that follow a familiar pattern: feeling anxious, disconnected, unfulfilled, or like you’re doing all the emotional work. 

You know what you don’t want, but changing the pattern feels much harder than recognizing it.

I’m a warm, collaborative, and grounded counsellor who is genuinely curious about your experience. I enjoy helping people connect the dots between their past and the patterns showing up in their life today. 

Together, we can grow a deeper understanding and acceptance of your history, while exploring what you want to do differently moving forward. I’ll meet you with compassion and without judgment, while also gently challenging patterns or beliefs that may no longer serve you.

You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We can start by getting curious about what’s happening and making sense of it together.

My training includes EMDR, IFS, ACT, CBT, DBT, and polyvagal theory, and my practice is informed by trauma-informed and neurodiversity-affirming approaches.

I offer both in-person and virtual sessions for adults, with flexible weekday appointments available in the morning, afternoon, and evening. I can also directly bill many insurance providers.

If you’re considering counseling, you’re welcome to request a free phone or video consultation before booking your first session. This gives us the chance to talk about what you’re looking for, and see if we feel like a good fit to work together.

I can be reached via email at: chelzea.therapy@gmail.com

Billing: Direct billing is available through several benefit providers, including Canada Life, Green Shield, Chambers of Commerce, and others. Please confirm your coverage for Canadian Certified Counsellors (Provider #11248626) with your benefits provider.

Hello, I’m Erin Rusnak. I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master of Counselling, Bachelor of Health Science, and diploma in Rehabilitation. With over 15 years of experience in the human services field, I have had the opportunity to work with people of different ages, abilities, backgrounds, and life experiences.

The populations I work with include adults, seniors, and children ages 5–12. and types of presenting concerns I have experience working with include anxiety, depression, grief and loss, LGBTQIA2S+, neurodivergence (ADHD/ASD), endometriosis, and life transitions.

I believe counselling should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are. My priority is creating a warm, safe, and non-judgmental environment where you feel comfortable sharing your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment. My approach to counselling is flexible and collaborative. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches because I don’t believe there is one type of therapy that works for everyone. You are the expert on your own life, and together we can determine what approaches and strategies feel most helpful for you.

When working with children, I recognize that they don’t always have the words to explain what they are feeling. I use play-based and developmentally appropriate approaches to help children express themselves, understand their emotions, and develop healthy coping skills.

Whether you are navigating a difficult season, experiencing anxiety or depression, grieving a loss, adjusting to change, or simply looking for a safe place to talk, my goal is to meet you where you are and walk alongside you as you find the path that feels right for you. You don’t need to know exactly where to begin. We can start there together.

Outside of the counselling room, I enjoy spending time with my dogs and family. I also love watching soccer, listening to music, and getting lost in a good book. I believe these simple moments of connection, enjoyment, and relaxation are an important part of creating balance in our lives.

I am currently scheduling appointments during 

weekdays and evenings, with weekend appointments available by special request. I can be reached directly at rusnakerin@gmail.com.

Hello and welcome! My name is Donna and I am a Master’s level registered Social Worker. As a counsellor and certified yoga teacher, it would be my honor to join you in a powerful holistic growth journey. The decision to see a counsellor can feel overwhelming, evoking strong feelings as you share your deep hurts, uncertainties, and struggles. To help ease this, I strive to offer you sincerity and authenticity by being transparent, genuine, and reliable. I respect people’s own wisdom, knowledge, and experience and believe that each one of us has innate strengths and abilities and the capacity for change. Using an integrative, person-centered, and trauma informed counselling approach, I believe we can work together to honor where you are at, set goals to help you make the changes that you desire, and celebrate your experiences of improved well-being and increased inner peace.
