Compassionate, trauma-informed therapy in Calgary.
At Open Heart Therapy, we're here to listen, understand, and support you through the challenges you're facing. If you're searching for a place where you feel prioritized, seen and heard, our caring team of psychologists welcome you to our inclusive sanctuary in Calgary. If you prefer to connect remotely, we're honoured to visit with you online.
Â
Our clinicians skillfully blend EMDR, CBT, DBT, IFS, somatic therapy, hypnotherapy, and mindfulness-based approaches within sessions. We work together to create a tailored plan to suit your unique needs.
Â
We're also deeply passionate about supporting Alberta's service providers, including healthcare professionals, first responders and veterans, because those who dedicate their lives to caring for others deserve care, too.
​
And if you would like added support and comfort, our gentle canine companions are delighted to assist you during your session with animal-assisted therapy.
​
You don't have to hold it all together while quietly burning out inside.
We're here to walk alongside you on your path back to living life fully in the present.
Take back your power.
At Open Heart Therapy, we know that painful circumstances and uncertainty are a natural part of being human, so it's normal to want to feel in control and escape discomfort. But over time, this can convince us that happiness lives outside of us — in other people, places, or in needing life to go our way.
​
When things don’t go as planned — a loss, a betrayal, or a situation we can’t change — life can start to feel heavy and overwhelming. Avoiding difficult emotions and chasing control might help in the moment, but in the long run it often keeps us trapped in survival mode, isolated, or overly dependent on others.
​
True strength comes from within and a willingness to experience all that comes with being alive. Within the safe container of a grounded therapeutic relationship, we can gently hold the weight of your suffering together, allowing you to release what you've been carrying and cultivate an inner strength that gives you your power back.
Â
So when life's challenges come to shake the ground under your feet, you have the capacity to stay present and securely rooted in self-compassion, grace, and stability.

Hi, I'm Trinity...
A Registered Psychologist and founder of Open Heart Therapy.
I created a space where you can feel safe, understood, and free to share your story without judgment because -Â I get it. I know what it's like to carry the weight of what's happened to you and to feel powerless in the face of it.
Â
In all transparency, for the better part of my life I have been on my own healing journey from attachment wounds, codependency, and intergenerational and racial trauma. I used to think, "If I ever make it through this, I am going to devote my life to creating a space where others don't feel alone and stuck in their suffering."
Now, with 20 years of experience—and as a queer person of colour—I bring both professional knowledge and lived experience in helping healthcare workers, first responders, veterans, and people facing deep personal struggles to break free from the grip of their suffering.
