Find a Therapist in Beddington, Alberta.

Psychotherapy is a process of gaining an awareness of one's issues which leads to improving the understanding of one's issues. Following this, the process of psychotherapy is to follow through with some form of therapeutic action to either improve the awareness, increase one's understanding or resolve the issues that one originally came in to psychotherapy for.

My clinical focus at Solasta Counselling in Calgary is psychological and diagnostic assessment rather than ongoing psychotherapy, but the assessment process itself is often a deeply therapeutic experience — many clients describe the feedback session as the first time they've felt truly understood. As a Registered Psychologist, I use comprehensive testing and clinical interviewing to help adults make sense of longstanding patterns in how they think, learn, and relate to others. From there, I frequently connect clients with one of Solasta's psychotherapy-focused clinicians to continue the work the assessment points toward.

I aspire to create an affirming and judgement-free environment where individuals feel safe expressing their experiences as everyone deserves to be heard and witnessed for who they are. I can provide practical guidance and support and I incorporate humour and humility into my practice. I view treatment as holistic and do not subscribe to a "one size fits all" approach. While there can be common symptoms, each person brings their own unique experiences and perspectives to the challenges which they are currently facing, because of this I will always work with you to design a practical and specific treatment plan designed just for you.

In my practice as a psychotherapist I assist individuals to understand forces within that cause suffering & confusion. My approach is engaging, compassionate and expansive. I have over 25 years of experience with many types of people from different cultures & backgrounds. I believe most people have a mixture of complex emotions & complicated life experiences. But most everyone is trying to live a better life. People often have ‘scripts’ of who they are & why they came to be living the way they are. I help people develop ways of reflecting on what has been, what is, and what might be. This opens the possibilities for more choices in life. Your life can be different if you want it to be.

When something in your life will not shift no matter how hard you try to reason your way out of it, the right kind of therapy can make the difference. I work in several proven approaches, including cognitive behaviour therapy, psychodynamic therapy, person-centred therapy, and existential therapy, and I match the approach to you rather than the other way around. If you want to work with someone with deep training and long experience, I have been a psychologist since 1986. I am based in Calgary and see clients across Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick by secure video.

Are my personal and emotional struggles, anxiety, and depression just “all in the mind” or is there a biological basis to it? Most psychotherapy theories only focus on the “mind” and often fail to address the biological causes and treatment of mental illness. As a psychopharmacologist, Dr Mervin is uniquely equipped to counsel people with mental disorders concerning all their antidepressant and medication-related issues. His integrative approach recognizes the importance of biological (medical & pharmacological), psychological (emotions, cognition's and behavior), social (family and community), and spiritual (faith and religion) factors.
