The term 'Arcadia' means a haven of simple, untroubled pleasure, marked by the enduring strength of mountains—a symbol many Canadians know all too well.
At Arcadia Counselling, we embrace this concept, providing you with a personal retreat amid life's tumultuous peaks. Whether you're grappling with traumatic life experiences or seeking support for your ongoing mental health and wellness, I'm here to walk this path with you. No issue is too small. Through the flexibility of online sessions or face-to-face meetings in Calgary, Alberta, Arcadia can be your space to unload, soul-search, delve into the 'nitty-gritty', learn new coping strategies, find meaning, or pursue anything else you may need to bolster your wellbeing.
Together, let's climb these mountains and find your Arcadia.
Hi! My name is Christine, and I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) from Calgary, Alberta. I am the owner and counselling therapist here at Arcadia Counselling, and I am so happy you stumbled upon this space. It takes courage to seek help, so I commend you for taking this first step.
I view therapy as just another crucial aspect of your health service, similar to a visit to the dentist or chiropractor. Just like how we visit the dentist if we have severe tooth pain or need regular routine cleaning, I am here for both the traumatic life experiences as well as maintenance sessions. My counselling style takes a holistic, client-centered, and trauma-informed approach while providing a safe, confidential, and non-judgemental space. I draw from a number of therapeutic approaches including, but not limited to cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy.
Outside of my beloved counselling work, you can find me walking my two dogs in Nose Hill or the Rockies, enjoying a cup of tea, or participating in wellness classes around the city!

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity and truth, we honour and acknowledge Moh’kinsstis, and the traditional Treaty 7 territory and oral practices of the Blackfoot confederacy. We extend our recognition to the Kainai, Siksika and Piikani First Nations, as well as the Tsuut’ina, the Stoney Nakoda and the Metis Nation (Region 3), who have nurtured and protected these mountains, prairies, foothills and rivers throughout generations. Mourning the injustices of the past and present, we acknowledge the painful history of colonization that has affected Indigenous nations and cultures.
Our commitment is more than just words; it is a pledge to engage in ongoing learning, to listen earnestly to the stories and voices of Indigenous Peoples, and to foster relationships based on mutual respect and understanding. We embrace the opportunity to join hands with Indigenous communities in walking the path of reconciliation.
