Resilience Counselling and Consulting - Calgary

I’m Vivienne, and I help individuals just like you: people that have it within them to work through their pain and heal their wounds, but just need some help getting there. 

I love to help my clients reconnect to their own unique strengths and resources. I help them grow compassionate connections with themselves and others. I help them safely process difficult life experiences, so they can move forward and know that they can not only bounce back from, but even grow from life’s challenges!

Some therapists focus on coping skills and talk therapy to gain insight. This can leave you feeling frustrated, because no matter how much you try to talk and think your way into feeling better, it can only take you so far. You may rationally understand your issues, but that may not help you heal, then you’re left feeling like there’s a disconnect between head and heart.

My clients are looking for deeper change; I integrate EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), body psychotherapies and talk therapies, so that every step we take together is tailored to healing that includes both mind, body, and spirit, and helps you get to the root of issues so can start to feel really whole again. 

Together, we’ll identify the difficult experiences that are causing you to feel stuck and we’ll create a roadmap so that you’ll know how to achieve your goals. We’ll focus on your strengths and build on your resources with practical mind-body tools that really work for you. We’ll work on transforming the old wounds that are causing distress so they no longer keep you stuck in old patterns and unhelpful beliefs. By the end of our time together, you will know that even when life gets tough, which it inevitably will, you have the capacity to bounce back.
