Take a step to mental wellness

About me…

Dr. Erin Shumlich, psychologist, based in Calgary, provides therapy to individuals residing in Alberta.
 

I am a registered psychologist and offer assessment and therapy. I have over 10 years of mental health experience and provide evidence-based treatment for adults with a broad range of mental health difficulties, including anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep problems, and interpersonal difficulties.

In addition to general mental health expertise, I also specialize in health psychology. This means that I work with individuals to address the mental health concerns that often come with chronic disease (e.g., diabetes, cardiovascular complications, chronic pain).

  • THINK.

    Learn to identify, question, and change thought patterns that have developed over time and continue to make you feel stuck.

  • Feel.

    Most of us just want to feel better. How we feel is often a result of how we think and how we act.

  • Act.

    Learn to identify behaviour patterns and how to act in alignment with your values.

My approach

 

Style

My approach to therapy is client-centred, collaborative, and integrative. I have experience with a variety of different evidence-based therapies that I draw from. My varied expertise allows me to adapt my style to fit with your needs.

Therapeutic Approaches

I use an integrative approach to therapy, using techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy.

Additionally, I have specialized training in Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy for treating post-traumatic stress.
