Navigating Life's Challenges, Together
Empowering growth through compassionate trauma-informed counselling therapy
Lesley King
MACP
Counselling therapy for Individuals and couples
I am a registered provisional psychologist offering counselling therapy in English and French, both in-person in Calgary and online throughout Alberta and Nunavut.
My practice is located at Viewpoint Calgary Psychological Services and I also work with Calgary Pain Management Centre and Olivia Marcoux Psychology & Associates.
My practice is dedicated to providing support for a diverse range of adult clients, specializing in addressing challenges stemming from traumatic or adverse life experiences. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate through and overcome issues related to PTSD, Complex PTSD, anxieties, depressions, chronic pain, and stress.
I also bring a unique focus to attentional issues. If you find yourself wondering about the possibility of having ADD or ADHD, I am here to assist. I work collaboratively with individuals to assess this potential, offering the psychotherapeutic components of an integrated and comprehensive treatment approach, aligning with current recommendations.
Furthermore, as part of my commitment to fostering healthy relationships, I integrate the renowned Gottman Method Couples Therapy into my practice. This evidence-based approach, combined with my trauma-informed lens, creates a therapeutic environment that promotes healing and connection.
My academic foundation includes a Bachelor of Commerce from Concordia University and a Masters in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. As a Registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists (Practice Permit #3239p) and a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC), I prioritize maintaining the highest standards of care and support for individuals seeking guidance.
