AUTHENTIC PSYCHOLOGY -Counselling & Psychological Services

My name is Joshua Adams and I am a Registered Psychologist with experience in psychotherapy, clinical psychological assessment, psychological consultation and advocacy, facilitating groups, teaching and curriculum development, supervision, and public speaking.   I have been working with vulnerable people with mental illnesses for over 15 years. While employed with the Calgary Drop-In & Rehab Centre (the largest shelter and homeless services provider in Canada), I became their first ever Registered Psychologist.
   I am passionate about helping people find their authentic selves and live out their
intentional and chosen purpose. I love striving to look past peoples’ difficulties and redirecting their attentions to their passions, values, dreams, and authentic selves.

   I look forward to meeting you, hearing about your dreams and passions, and creatively helping you overcome any obstacles keeping you from your authentic self.
COST
   ·I charge $200 per 1-hour session, with some flexibility for sliding scale rates.

MY APPROACH
The therapeutic approach I use depends on the unique needs, problems, and personalities of each individual client. Here are some of my main therapeutic approaches:
   ·Person-Centered Therapy: Person-Centered Therapy is not so much a series of activities and interventions as it is a way of being with people and a way of perceiving their struggles and their strengths. As a central perspective, Person-Centered therapists view all people as having the potential to make positive changes and to live out a life of authenticity and genuine meaning. Person-centered therapists act as catalysts for change by being a safe, accepting, and empathic listener; they can help you identify barriers and effectively make progress in your life while feeling understood.
   ·Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy: Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is an active and action-oriented approach which helps clients learn skills to manage and change problematic thinking (cognition), behavior, and—as a result—emotions. CBT therapists do this through a variety of techniques and strategies.
   ·Existential Therapy: Existential Therapy is more of a philosophical approach to doing therapy than it is a set of techniques. It assumes that people are free and therefore responsible for their choices. Its focus is on pursuing authentically chosen values to live out a life of purpose.
   ·Motivational Interviewing: Motivational Interviewing is about having effective conversations. These conversations are collaborative, focusing on and strengthening the client’s own motivation and commitment for change. (Miller & Rollnick, Motivational Interviewing, 3rd Edition).
   ·Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy: Solutions-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a brief form of therapy which is collaborative and focuses on solutions rather than problems.
