FAQs
Your Questions About Therapy in Calgary, Answered
Straightforward, practical guidance on our services, clinical philosophy, and what you can expect as a client at Broken Gold Counseling.
What makes Broken Gold Counseling different from standard talk therapy in Calgary?
We combine the restorative Kintsugi philosophy with evidence-based behavioural therapies like CBT, DBT, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy. Our focus is on building resilience and practical skills, not just managing symptoms.
Which types of clients benefit most from your approach?
Our services are ideal for adults and adolescents dealing with emotional dysregulation, neurodiversity (ADHD), complex trauma, and couples seeking structured, polyamory-friendly support. We also provide supervision for social work professionals.
How do your 60-minute sessions create added value for clients?
Our 60-minute standard session offers 20 percent more clinical time than the typical 50-minute session, allowing for deeper exploration and more effective behavioural change strategies at each visit.
What is Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and how does it work?
ART is a rapid trauma-processing protocol that uses guided eye movements and imagery to help clients reframe traumatic memories. It does not require you to verbally recount distressing events, making it suitable for those who want change without reliving trauma.
Do you offer direct billing for insurance in Calgary?
Yes, we offer direct billing to major insurers, including Blue Cross, Sun Life, and Manulife. Please confirm eligibility during your free consultation, as details may vary by provider.
