Find an Adjustment disorder Therapist in Alberta

An adjustment disorder happens when stress or major life changes — like a breakup, job loss, relocation, or illness — lead to emotional or behavioural reactions that feel bigger than the situation itself. It’s not weakness or overreacting; it’s your nervous system struggling to adapt. Therapy helps you understand what’s happening beneath those reactions and gives you tools to feel stable and capable again.

Our approach is structured to bring both insight and relief. Using Pattern Theory™, we identify the beliefs and response patterns that make transitions feel overwhelming — such as “I can’t handle this” or “everything’s falling apart.” Then, through Reconditioning, we help your brain and body learn new ways to process stress. The result is emotional regulation and a return to your natural sense of balance and confidence.

If you’ve recently experienced a significant change and find yourself unusually anxious, irritable, unmotivated, or withdrawn — or you feel “stuck” when trying to move forward — you may be dealing with an adjustment disorder. These reactions are common and highly treatable. Therapy can help you process the change, restore perspective, and get back to feeling like yourself again.

Many people find improvement in a shorter time frame compared to other conditions. Because each session follows a structured plan with measurable goals, you’ll start seeing progress quickly — usually within the first few weeks. The duration depends on your situation and how deeply you want to explore the underlying beliefs that shape your reactions to change.
