Christian Counselling Calgary, AB. Find a Christian Therapist Near You.

I have been a Christian for about 30 years. The connection between emotional healing and Biblical principles is of a special interest to me. Often emotional healing offers a lot of care and empathy as described in a number of ways in the Bible. There is also healing that I believe is over and above what could happen in a non-Christian context. Being able to relate to and deal with struggles in Christianity and in the Church are also areas of focus.

[NOTE: MY OFFICE IS IN CALGARY -- I DO VIDEO SESSIONS ELSEWHERE IN ALBERTA]. I am a person of deep faith and spirituality. As a result, I enjoy working with people of all spiritualities, religions, and denominations. I do not identify myself with any one particular faith community. I respect your faith and likely already have a good understanding of the most important principles of it.

You are doing your best at life and still you get stuck, still you trip and sometimes fall. There are many times when it is hard to discern what to do. You can find a therapist here that will listen to you and respond to your concerns from a biblical worldview. Learn to determine your part and God's part and learn to put into operation solutions that will be honoring of your beliefs, values and convictions.

As a Christian, I offer a safe and compassionate space where your spirituality is respected and valued. Having undergone my own disappointments and adversities in life, I understand how difficult it can be to maintain one's faith when troubles arise. It can be difficult to see God's plans for us when problems seem insurmountable, relationships are strained, and the future seems dark. Losses may be especially hard as we struggle with doubts and despair. We may even feel anger and disappointment in God and in our faith community. I empathize with your crisis of the heart and want to help in a manner that feels comfortable and appropriate for you.

As God's creation, people reflect God's nature. Just as God has a purpose for all that he does, every one of us has been given this purposefulness for all we do. Sometimes our purposes in life need transformation. On other occasions, our reasons or motives are already a wonderful reflection of God's heart, but the approach for achieving those goals has fallen short. Our habits, practices and relationships are what need transformation. McNaughton & Associates is “change-driven.” We want to help you experience God’s transforming power in your life.

For many Christians the use of psychotropic medication is still unacceptable. Taking insulin or tablets for blood pressure is accepted, but taking ‘drugs’ for mental illness is often frowned upon. If you have questions about whether or not you as a Christian should take antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication, mood stabilizers, etc., Dr Mervin (Paraklesis Counselling) can come alongside you from a faith-based perspective and help you understand what these medications do, and why and when you should use them. “Honour the doctor for his services, for the Lord created him ... The Lord has created medicines from the earth, and a sensible man will not disparage them.” - Ecclesiasticus 38: 1-4

How can we address thinking and behavior, without including the soul? "Guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life." How do we deal with conflicting desires, interests, and wants? Understanding our role in God's greater story of redemption being told in the world today brings renewed strength, hope and energy. If you want a compassionate, grace-based approach to who you are and who you were meant to be, I'll journey along with you as you live out the personalized chapters of the life God has for you, and your relationship with Him will deepen. I practice caring, companionable soul care that helps you see God's presence in your life, no matter where you are in your journey.

Christian and Faith-based counselors from our Downtown Edmonton office provide psychological support and counseling services to our clients.

I offer Christian/Biblical Counselling due to my own personal conversion from Islam to Christianity where I was saved after nearly dying from a fatal car accident on Deerfoot Trail in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. My faith saved me not only from my physical injuries sustained in the accident and my chronic ill health of rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia but also from my emotional and psychological trauma and heartbreak. I was so filled with God's unconditional acceptance that healing came quickly after I surrendered and was baptized.

Come and learn what it means to deeply meet and be led by the Spirit of God in the deepest parts of your own feminine heart.

I graduated from Trinity Western University, in Abbotsford, BC, with a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology in 2005. In this environment we were given opportunity to integrate our therapy philosophy and our faith. Faith in God has been recognized as a strength in terms of coping and managing stress. I can assist you to use this world view to work though the challenges of life and relationships.
