About this studio
ShiftGrit Calgary’s Mount Royal studio operates from 815 17 Avenue SW, Suite 210 — an upper-floor space tucked above Calgary’s 17th Avenue SW commercial corridor. It’s our flagship Calgary location, designed for the slow, structured clinical work the Core Method™ requires.
Our team here is one of the largest in the network — registered psychologists, registered provisional psychologists, and registered counsellors, all trained in the ShiftGrit Core Method™ within the Identity-Level Therapy orientation. The clinical framework stays consistent across the team: we target the limiting beliefs that drive automatic patterns rather than coaching surface-level behaviour change. That focus carries across modalities — couples, anger management, trauma, ADHD, OCD, depression, anxiety — while the underlying method stays the same.
Same-week appointments are typically available. In-person sessions happen at the studio; virtual sessions across Alberta are offered through Jane online booking.
The Neighbourhood
Mount Royal sits between Beltline and Cliff Bungalow, anchored by Calgary’s 17th Avenue SW commercial district — the city’s busiest pedestrian strip for restaurants, galleries, and independent retail. Our studio at 815 17 Ave SW occupies a quiet upper-floor suite a short walk from Mount Royal Village, with easy LRT access at Erlton/Stampede and surface parking along 5 St SW.
FAQ
How do I book a session at the Mount Royal Studio?
Book online through our Jane portal at any time — link in the header. New clients can also use Get Matched first: answer a few questions and we’ll route you to a clinician whose training aligns with what you’re working through.
Do you offer both in-person and virtual sessions?
Yes. Every clinician at our Calgary clinic offers in-person sessions at the Mount Royal Studio. Most also offer virtual sessions over secure video for clients anywhere in Alberta — same Core Method™, same Pattern Library, same Identity-Level Therapy outcomes.
Are sessions covered by extended health insurance?
Most extended-health plans cover Registered Psychologist (R.Psych.), Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), and Registered Social Worker (RSW) sessions. We provide receipts you submit to your insurer; direct-billing is available for several providers — ask at intake.
What credentials do your therapists hold?
Our Calgary team includes Registered Psychologists, CCC-credentialed counsellors, and RSW clinicians. Every clinician is trained in the ShiftGrit Core Method™ and Identity-Level Therapy protocol — so the work stays consistent no matter who you see.
How long until I can be seen?
Typical wait time for a new-client intake is 1–2 weeks. If you have a specific clinician preference, the wait may be longer; Get Matched usually finds an opening sooner.
