Find a Mood disorders Therapist in Calgary

Mood disorders are conditions that affect your emotional state and energy levels, often causing persistent sadness, irritability, or shifts between highs and lows. Common types include depression, dysthymia, and bipolar disorder. These experiences can impact motivation, relationships, and day-to-day functioning. At ShiftGrit, therapy focuses on understanding why these mood fluctuations occur and retraining emotional and cognitive patterns to create greater balance and stability.

Our model integrates education, structure, and emotional reconditioning. Using Pattern Theory™, we identify the limiting beliefs and emotional loops that fuel mood instability — such as “I can’t handle this” or “I’m powerless.” Through Reconditioning, we teach your brain to respond differently to triggers, helping reduce emotional reactivity, strengthen regulation, and restore a more consistent baseline mood. The process is structured, predictable, and deeply collaborative.

While medication can help regulate biological aspects of mood, therapy focuses on cognitive and behavioural patterns — helping you understand your triggers, strengthen emotional awareness, and improve coping skills. Many clients find that combining approaches enhances long-term stability and overall wellbeing.

Your first session is an enriched intake where your therapist takes a structured, detective-style approach to understanding your emotional history, patterns, and current challenges. You’ll learn about the connection between thoughts, beliefs, and mood regulation, and leave with a clear plan outlining how therapy will help you regain emotional steadiness and control.
