Introducing Stephanie, Your Calgary Therapy Partner

Stephanie is the cornerstone of Broken Gold Counseling’s clinical excellence in Calgary, AB. With over 20 years of direct experience, her practice is dedicated to adults, adolescents, and couples navigating complex trauma, neurodiversity (ADHD, ASD), and emotional dysregulation. Stephanie stands apart by integrating evidence-based modalities—such as CBT, DBT, ACT, and Narrative Therapy—with the transformative philosophy of Kintsugi. For Stephanie, therapy is more than symptom management: it’s a collaborative journey to repair and strengthen, turning life’s cracks into seams of growth. Her goal-oriented, practical style, grounded in real-world skills and compassion, provides clients with the structure and hope needed to move beyond feeling stuck. Stephanie’s sessions are not just about talking—they are about building, practicing, and living the skills that lead to lasting change.

Clinical Philosophy

Stephanie’s Kintsugi-Inspired Approach to Growth

Stephanie’s practice is anchored in the restorative philosophy of Kintsugi—viewing personal struggles not as flaws to hide, but as opportunities for meaningful repair. By weaving this metaphor into every session, Stephanie reframes therapy as a process of rebuilding with intention and skill, rather than simply ‘fixing’ problems. Her clients are invited to see their challenges as integral to their story, cultivating self-acceptance and resilience. This approach is matched by Stephanie’s commitment to behavioural change through actionable strategies: every session includes practical homework and measurable goals. Whether she’s supporting a neurodiverse adult, guiding a couple through relationship restructuring, or working with a trauma survivor using ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy), Stephanie’s style blends deep empathy with a direct, skills-based focus. Her work empowers clients to take ownership of their progress, fostering an environment where vulnerability leads to real, sustainable transformation.

Specialized Expertise

Stephanie’s Unique Clinical Strengths in Calgary

Stephanie brings a rare depth of specialization to Calgary’s mental health community. Her advanced training and passion for working with neurodiverse adults—including those with ADHD, ASD, and related profiles—distinguish her from generalist practitioners. Stephanie’s expertise also extends to supporting trauma survivors through ART, a rapid, non-verbal protocol that helps clients process distressing memories without the need to recount events. She is committed to inclusivity, providing polyamory-friendly couples counselling and evidence-based support for high-conflict or non-traditional relationship dynamics. Stephanie’s model is grounded in extended 60-minute sessions, offering 20 percent more time than the clinical standard for deeper therapeutic engagement. Her roles as a group facilitator (DBT Skills Groups), single-session workshop leader, and clinical supervisor for social work students further demonstrate her commitment to professional leadership and community impact. While Stephanie is not currently accepting new clients, her influence shapes the high standards and innovative care at Broken Gold Counseling.
