About Me
Hi! I'm Hala. I am a Registered Psychologist practicing in Calgary, Alberta. I have been providing counselling services since 2014, and specialize in working with Adults who have experienced trauma in their life. Trauma can look different for each and every person; what may be traumatizing for one, may not be for another. You get to name your own experiences, and together, we can work towards lessening the impact of these events.
I follow a client-centered approach and view you as being the expert in your own life! My practice is informed by Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Feminist Therapy, Attachment Theory, and Somatic Psychotherapy. I am committed to ongoing professional development and I have participated in numerous trainings and workshops, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). From the moment we meet, we will work in a collaborative manner to address your concerns and achieve your goals.
