Meet George
Hi everybody! I’m George, a Registered Provisional Psychologist. In our work together, you can expect to embark on a transformative journey that focuses on embracing your experiences with openness and curiosity. We will work to cultivate a deep sense of presence and mindfulness, helping you to stay grounded in the moment and fully engage with your current reality. Through this process, you will learn to align your actions with your core values, enabling you to make meaningful choices that resonate with your authentic self. Our goal is to empower you to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and purpose, ultimately leading to a more fulfilling and balanced life. I recognize the importance of a good fit between the therapist and client. Therefore, I offer a 15-minute, no-cost phone consultation so we can get to know each other before a session. My Story I've called Calgary home for the past 25 years and spent my childhood in Winnipeg and Prince George. Each summer, my parents would take us to Egypt to stay connected with our family heritage and the country they immigrated from. Although my Arabic isn’t perfect, these cross-cultural experiences deeply shaped my perspective, helping me to appreciate and value diverse ways of life. This journey has fostered a non-judgmental and compassionate approach to understanding and supporting people from all walks of life. My Approach My therapeutic approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), and Somatic Therapy models to help you navigate life’s challenges and thoughts in a way that aligns with your core values. At the heart of this work is the therapeutic relationship, which provides a safe space so you may explore your vulnerabilities. Grounded in trauma-informed care, my approach will support you in reconnecting with your values and spirituality, empowering you to engage more fully and authentically in your relationships and life overall. In addition to my therapeutic approach, I am deeply passionate about the potential of psychedelic therapies and their integration into mental health care. I believe that psychedelic experiences, when used responsibly and under proper guidance, can offer profound insights and breakthroughs in the therapeutic process. My interest lies in exploring how these substances can complement traditional therapeutic practices to enhance personal growth, self-awareness, and emotional healing. By carefully integrating your psychedelic experiences with established therapeutic techniques, I aim to support my clients in achieving a deeper understanding and lasting transformation in their mental health journey. |
