Cal is a Registered Psychologist, and both Cal & Roslyn are Registered Christian Counsellors, Certified Professional Counsellors and part of a larger general psychology practice with other Registered Psychologists.

We all experience stresses and painful life events that challenge our faith and test our emotional health. While we trust that God has a plan, sometimes we have more questions than answers as we struggle through life's most difficult problems. And, we need someone who truly understands.

At Henze and Associates: Counselling and Care, we understand that clients coming from a Christian faith perspective often strongly prefer to meet with a counsellor from a similar faith background. (The term "Christian Counselling Calgary"" is actually one of the most common terms used by those seeking counselling in Calgary or the Southern Alberta Area!)

When seeking a Christian psychologist in Calgary, many people simply want to know that their therapist is a Christian and shares similar beliefs. But, if you're even reading this, you probably have something more specific in mind as you choose among the many Calgary therapists.

So, what does Christian Counselling mean to you?

Perhaps you are seeking a specific approach, or maybe you would like the Bible or other spiritual resources used in your therapy? Possibly, you are concerned that your values about marriage would be respected, or perhaps you are looking specifically for Spiritual Direction? Whatever you are seeking, we work with you to tailor your treatment plan, so it remains deeply respectful of your faith and needs as we integrate your spirituality with cutting-edge psychological counselling.

And, money is tight for everyone. Employer benefits can save you hundreds and even thousands of dollars! Though it really shouldn't be this way, one of the primary reasons for choosing a psychologist is benefits coverage. Most insurance companies require the counsellor to be a member of a provincially registered governing body, such as The College of Alberta Psychologists. If you're looking for Christian Counselling, Calgary has many options. But, if insurance coverage matters to you, it's important to check what your individual benefits company requires.

Sex Addiction Calgary: After keeping the family secrets of hypersexuality for years, it can seem overwhelming to speak to a sex therapist. Calgary couples counselling clients we see often have called and then hung up on many different Christian Psychologists in Calgary before finally booking a session with us.

We understand that. It's hard enough to find quality counselling in Calgary for general issues, without adding the complexity of marriage, sexual addiction and couples sex therapy to the mix. And, where can anyone find that and still feel assured that their spirituality will be respected in the process?

Healing hypersexuality or sexual addiction requires a multifaceted approach that often includes:

Every part of your life and relationship deserves to be taken seriously. For healing in the area of sexual addiction to really be effective, it needs to extend to the whole person (Spirit, mind, body and trauma) as well as to the precious gift of your relationship with each other. Experience truly integrated care today!

And, in areas like this, that integration is essential: Over the years, Christian Marriage Counselling and Christian Addictions Counselling are two areas where faith and values often seem to matter the most to our clients. Many have expressed fears that they would be counselled to end their marriages or that their values in the area of sex and relationships would be undermined. This is why it's so important that you are sure that your therapist shares your values and is working with you to achieve the goals you have for your marriage and family relationships.

Couples PTSD Counselling Calgary: Perhaps it was the lasting impact of having served your country in the military or police service, the traumatic death of a loved one, the horror of sexual assault or the long-term anguish of childhood sexual abuse that did the damage. But, whatever the source, deep inside, you know, something in your heart shattered, and you have never felt whole since. And those time-travel-like flashbacks seem to be getting worse and worse.

You've likely already tried all of the standard approaches, the grief groups, the Cognitive Behavioural techniques, the EMDR and other detachment-based methods, the body or Yoga and breathing-focused approaches and just getting through by gritting your teeth - but it's simply not working. And, your precious relationship or marriage seems to be falling apart along with your inner world.

We get that. Some problems just can't be fixed in three easy sessions - but, that doesn't at all mean they can't be healed. And, we can help.

Determining whether a psychotherapy merely instructs people on how to cope with their entrenched beliefs and extreme emotions or if it, instead, facilitates a deep transformation of emotion and belief systems is far and away the most effective measure of both that therapy and the therapist.

Our passion for real and lasting change has led us to work with cutting-edge treatment modalities that address PTSD within the couple relationship (Emotion-Focused Therapy for Couples with Trauma) as well as more long-term-proven individual trauma therapy (Internal Family Systems Therapy) to treat Critical Stress Injuries on a one-to-one basis. We also use written and audio resources from Somatic Experiencing Focused authors such as Peter Levine and referrals to other specialists to help you continue your journey between sessions and round out our more emotional and cognitive focus.

We're not about quick fixes, and we don't do band-aids. We and our associates work with a highly integrated, emotion-focused and person-centred approach that starts with creating stability and secure attachment in your marriage or relationship and then applies that same focus to restoring attachment in your inner world.

And, we don't heal you - we teach you how to put the shattered pieces back together for yourself, so you will never remain broken again.

Calgary Counselling Articles: While our Session Notes Blog contains over 900 articles and links to other pieces of information we, our clients and those we train have found useful and informative, our Articles Page contains something different. We and the other Registered Psychologists, Registered Christian Psychologists, Registered Christian Counsellors, Certified Professional Counsellors and Counselling Therapists of Alberta that we are proud to call our associates maintain a network of sites targeting specific areas of desperate need here in Alberta.

Written by both ourselves and our guest posters, these links and our RSS Feeds contain some of the most cutting edge and diverse sources of psychological information and represent only a part of the psychological education and assistance we freely offer all, regardless of their ability to afford our in-person Calgary Counselling Services.

These separate sites are each a focused venue addressing issues that are sometimes too specialized or even triggering for the viewers of our general Calgary Counselling Services site. They allow us to speak in a clear and direct manner to those with needs that can not be answered in any other way while protecting those who may have sensitivities to certain kinds of information or visual content.
