Helping Professionals Find 

Clarity in the Chaos

Quiet the Chaos and set Healthier Boundaries

Are you running on empty, but stopping feels impossible? The worries never let up. Your mind won’t turn off. You’re exhausted, but you push through because you have to. Maybe you’re numbing out - scrolling, shopping, drinking - anything to escape for a moment. Maybe you’re dealing with mistreatment at school or work, leaving you drained and doubting yourself. You wonder, why can’t I just get it together? You’re not broken. You’re not failing. You’re overwhelmed – and there’s a way through this. Let's untangle the chaos, quiet the guilt, build your confidence, and set healthier boundaries.

At Rooted Counselling Services, we specialize in helping young adults and professionals break free from anxiety, stress, bullying - school/workplace, and unhealthy coping habits. Whether you're overwhelmed, or numbing out just to get through the day, therapy can help. Together, we’ll untangle what is happening, build real coping tools, and help you feel in control again.

We know how heavy everything feels as you keep pushing through the things that are weighing you down. Together, we’ll make sense of the stress, build real coping tools, and help you navigate your struggles. Let's talk about what you need. You can email, text, or book directly through this website - We would love to support you.

Founder of Rooted Counselling Services

“As a qualifying provisional psychologist, I bring experience and understanding to the therapeutic process. My journey began at Alberta Health Services, where I saw firsthand the pressing need for mental health support. This experience ignited my passion for empowering individuals to improve their lives and achieve their goals.”

Counselling Services

Counselling can provide valuable support if you're experiencing any of the following challenges or mental health conditions:

  • Managing overwhelming feelings while developing effective coping strategies to enhance emotional well-being.

  • Discovering practical methods to handle daily pressures and improve resilience in stressful situations.

  • Burnout can manifest in various aspects of life, whether from caregiving, work, or academic pressures. Counselling can help with these difficult experiences.

  • Understanding irrational fears and gradually working towards overcoming them through supportive techniques and approaches.

  • Providing supportive strategies to effectively cope with and overcome bullying experiences in schools or workplaces.

  • Identifying problematic behaviours linked to shopping, gaming, cell phone use, or substance abuse and making necessary modifications.

  • Addressing specific issues faced by young individuals as they navigate critical transitions and life changes.

  • Navigating interpersonal conflicts and fostering healthier connections with others through effective communication.

Through a supportive counselling environment, we can work together to develop strategies for managing and overcoming your unique challenges.
