Welcome to Anchored Living Counselling
Hi, my name is Danielle!
I am a Registered Social Worker based out of Calgary, Alberta and the owner of Anchored Living Counselling. I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work, specializing in Clinical Social Work Practice and have been in the clinical field for over 11 years. I am experienced in medical and mental health settings, and working with diverse populations in non-profit and health care settings. My passion for mental health has led me to a path of working with adults and older adolescents to provide treatment and counselling for trauma, relationship challenges, grief and loss, chronic stress, burnout, complex psychiatric illness, anxiety, and depression.
How We Work Together
The foundation of my trauma counselling approach is based on personalized collaboration with each client. I believe each person I work with is their own expert of their life. I am eager to help you deeply explore and make sense of difficult life periods, uncover your resilience, and work towards being your best version of yourself. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities and have experience with the following:
I appreciate you taking the time to review my practice and I hope you find the support that you need. I look forward to connecting with you through my free 15-minute phone consultation to see if I am the right fit for you.
Anchored Living
The name Anchored Living is more than just a name. It has significance for me both personally and professionally. I grew up in Prince Edward Island being surrounded by the ocean. The ocean contains many minerals that can help healing and an anchor can be referred to as a person or object that can be relied on for support or security. The analogy of an anchor and the ocean is foundational to the work that we do in therapy. It is important to bring safety back into our bodies by being anchored after difficult experiences in our lives.
Our Mission
Anchored Living Counselling strives to offer accessible mental health services to those in need. I support those working through past experiences that contribute to ongoing nervous system dysregulation and therefore, worsening mental health. I am dedicated to helping people live a life that is meaningful and memorable. My goal is to provide you with personalized, evidence-based treatment that will move you towards your highest potential. Taking the first step to see a therapist is courageous, which is why developing a trusting therapeutic relationship is at the heart of how I practice. Together we will find a way of working together that feels safe, comfortable, and promotes a sense of belonging.
