Therapy that meets you where you are
Reaching out for psychological support is a big step. Our psychologists work collaboratively — you set the goals, and therapy is shaped around your pace, your story, and your strengths. We see adults and families dealing with:
- Anxiety and panic
- Depression and low mood
- Trauma and PTSD
- Chronic pain and adjustment to injury
- Stress and burnout
- Relationship and family challenges
- Cultural and generational transitions
- Major life changes — career, loss, identity
Our approaches
Our team draws on a deep toolkit of evidence-based modalities, matched to your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all program:
- Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — restructuring unhelpful thought-behaviour cycles
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — building psychological flexibility around difficult feelings
- EMDR — structured processing of traumatic memories
- Internal Family Systems (parts work) — understanding the protective parts of you
- Emotionally Focused Family Therapy — repairing connection in families
- Solution-focused and mindfulness-based practices
Mind and body, one clinic
Persistent pain, car accident recovery, and workplace injury all carry a psychological load — frustration, fear of movement, sleep loss, and stress. Having psychologists in the same clinic as physiotherapists means your care team can address both sides of recovery together. This integrated model is especially valuable for MVA claims, where psychological support is often a covered part of treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to common questions about this service.
Do I need a referral to see a psychologist in Calgary?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with our team. Some insurance plans require a physician's referral for reimbursement, so it's worth checking your policy.
Is what I share in therapy confidential?
Yes. Sessions are confidential within the limits set by law (such as risk of harm to yourself or others). Your psychologist will explain confidentiality fully at your first session.
How long is a therapy session and how many will I need?
Sessions typically run 50-60 minutes. Some concerns respond well to short-term, solution-focused work (6-12 sessions); others benefit from longer-term support. You and your psychologist will review progress regularly.
Is psychology covered after a car accident?
Often, yes. Psychological treatment can be included in Alberta MVA claims when assessed as part of your recovery. We can help you navigate the paperwork.
What should I expect at my first psychology counselling appointment?
At your first appointment, you can expect time to discuss what brings you in, your goals, and any questions about counselling. Your clinician may ask about your background and current concerns to understand how to plan future sessions. You can also ask about session format, fees, and what to expect next.
Does insurance cover psychology counselling in Calgary?
Coverage depends on your specific extended health plan and may require a particular provider type or receipt. Before booking, check your policy’s psychology or counselling benefits, eligible limits, and claim process, then ask Nolan Hill Physiotherapy and Massage Clinic what payment documentation and arrangements are available.
How soon can I book a psychology counselling appointment?
Appointment availability can change, so contact Nolan Hill Physiotherapy and Massage Clinic directly to ask about current openings and whether a wait applies. When you get in touch, share your preferred times and whether you are seeking an initial appointment; the clinic can explain the next steps and any information to bring.
