How Does ShiftGrit’s Therapy Program Work in Calgary
Find the Root Cause
Our registered psychologists launch a detailed investigation into your patterns, mental health history, and past life experience. We use this to identify the root causes of your concerns.
Work with our Registered Calgary Psychologists
Our central downtown therapy location has both Registered and Provisional Calgary psychologists. We also offer certified counsellors and coaching.
Our structured therapeutic approach can help those with mental health challenges or even high performers looking to optimize their lives.
We treat children over 12, adolescents, and adults for individual therapy.
Clinical Psychology & Counselling Services:
Your psychologist Calgary will be interested in identifying your limiting beliefs and how they may “show up” in your day-to-day life.
Utilizing a blend of cognitive behavioural therapy and the reconditioning method targeted at the responses of the “walnut brain,” our primitive, pre-evolutionary brain akin to our animal instincts, we employ psychological techniques akin to classical conditioning. This approach, reminiscent of Pavlov’s work with dogs, represents an inverted form of classical conditioning. Your psychologist will assist you in revisiting traumatic memories and the emotions linked to these limiting beliefs, to diminish their impact on your life.
Additional clinical concerns that we provide psychological intervention for:
- Trauma
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Bulimia Nervosa
- Avoidant Personality Disorder
- Behavioural Addictions
- Anorexia
- Dependent Personality Disorder
- Suicidality and Self Harm
- Binge Eating Disorder
- Phobias
There are specific non-clinical issues that people often need help with in an effort to optimize their lives. Many high-achievers and entrepreneurially-oriented individuals can benefit from the non-cognitively oriented approach of the ShiftGrit Method from the best psychologist Calgary.
Additional life optimizations that we provide psychological intervention for:
- Sex Issues and Sex Therapy
- Communicate Effectively
- Setting Healthy Boundaries
- Work-Life Balance
- Insomnia Treatment
- Bullying
- Coming Out (LGBTQ+)
- Infertility
- Positive Parenting
- Child Behaviour Issues
- Toxic Relationships
- Grief and Loss
- Intimacy Issues
- Polyamory
- Divorce
- Self-esteem Concerns
- Retirement & Empty Nest
We utilize psychological techniques akin to classical conditioning to recondition the responses of the “walnut brain,” akin to rehabilitating a rescue dog’s fear of work boots. The objective is to substitute the fear response with a feeling of safety through gradual exposure to boots in positive, controlled settings. This process mirrors the reprocessing of traumatic associations in humans, accomplished via incremental exposure and controlled responses, essentially reverse classical conditioning.
In this process, we delve into early emotional or traumatic memories. Through reconditioning, we disentangle the emotions tied to these memories, enabling individuals to encounter similar situations without the previously associated emotional reactions. The aim is to facilitate a more productive and fulfilling life, free from intrusive thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Removing these hindrances allows humans to unleash their remarkable potential.

What makes ShiftGrit Psychology a leader in Counselling services?
The Shift Method is a therapeutic relationship that is rooted in attachment and trauma theory. Weakened attachments in early childhood create life challenges through things like negative emotions and limiting cognitions about ourselves.
Utilizing a thoughtfully devised method, based on classical conditioning, exposure, desensitization, attachment theory, and neuropsychology, we extract the core of emotions, actions, and cognitions that hinder individuals from attaining their desired life.
