At Core Psychology, we are honoured to serve children, teens, and families across the Calgary Schools, offering trusted counselling services that respect each family’s unique values, beliefs, and goals. Our team integrates clinical expertise with a personalized approach, meeting families where they are—whether seeking faith-informed care or a neutral, evidence-based approach to emotional health.
Experience You Can Trust. Care That Meets Your Family’s Needs.
Our team of registered psychologists and therapists brings extensive experience in:
Child and Adolescent Therapy (Anxiety, Emotional Regulation, Social Challenges)
Family Counselling (Parenting Support, Communication, Conflict Resolution)
Trauma Recovery (EMDR-informed, Somatic, Attachment-Based Care)
Sports Psychology & Mindset Mastery (Performance Coaching for Young Athletes)
Faith-Based Counselling with Max Wood (Where desired, integrating Biblical or spiritual principles with evidence-based care)
Every family is unique. We listen first. We collaborate with parents, schools, and support networks to develop practical, individualized care plans that reflect both clinical wisdom and your family’s unique context.
Specialized Services for Students and Families:
Child & Teen Therapy
We support children and teens in navigating anxiety, perfectionism, academic pressures, social dynamics, and emotional development. Using creative, age-appropriate approaches, we help children build emotional intelligence, resilience, and healthy coping skills.
Family Therapy
We equip families to strengthen communication, resolve conflict, and foster deeper connection. Whether navigating parenting challenges, blended family transitions, or relational strain, we walk with you in restoring peace and unity.
Mindset Mastery & Sports Psychology
Athletes face unique mental pressures. Our Mindset Mastery Program empowers youth athletes to build confidence, focus, and emotional regulation both on and off the field. Grounded in neuroscience, performance psychology, and values-based coaching, this program equips young athletes for lifelong resilience.
Trauma Treatment & Emotional Healing
For children and teens impacted by trauma, early intervention is essential. Our trauma-informed therapists offer compassionate, evidence-based care that fosters safety, healing, and restoration.
