A new month. A fresh page. A little more light in the mornings and a quiet promise of change in the air.

This month brings a couple gentle shifts:
⏰ Daylight Saving Time begins on March 8th: longer evenings and a reminder that brighter days are ahead.
🌷 The first day of spring arrives on March 20th: a fresh season, new growth, and softer beginnings.

March is that in-between space (not quite winter, not fully spring) where growth is happening beneath the surface.

May this month invite you to:
• embrace small, steady progress
• reset what needs resetting
• welcome the light — both around you and within you

Hello, March. We’re ready for you 🤍

Today we wear pink to stand against bullying and to stand up for kindness, empathy, and inclusion. Pink Shirt Day is a reminder that our words and actions matter—and that choosing compassion can make a real difference in someone’s life.

Everyone deserves to feel safe, seen, respected, and supported, whether at school, at work, or in their community. By showing up with empathy and speaking out against bullying, we help create spaces where everyone can belong. 💗

Hi, I’m Cassidy 🌿

I’m a Provisionally Registered Psychologist supporting teens (13+), adults, and couples at Little Tree. My work is rooted in creating a space that feels safe, steady, and genuinely supportive. A place where you can slow down and feel understood.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, infidelity, or addictions, we’ll approach your story with care and curiosity. I draw from CBT, EFT, and premarital counselling, always tailoring our work to fit you and not the other way around.

At Little Tree, we believe meaningful growth begins with feeling safe enough to be honest. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or overwhelming. It can feel collaborative. Grounded. Human. We’ll move at a pace that feels manageable, building insight and practical tools while honouring your strengths along the way.

Reaching out can feel like the hardest step, especially when things already feel heavy. But you don’t have to carry it alone. My hope is that you leave sessions feeling seen, supported, and a little more confident in your ability to navigate what’s in front of you.

A little more about me: Outside of the office, I love reading. Stories have always felt like a refuge, a reminder that we’re not alone in our experiences.

If you’re ready to begin, we’re here. 🌱

At Little Tree Psychology, we support little ones, teens, adults, individuals, and couples 🌿

Starting therapy can feel like a big step — especially when it’s for your child. That’s why we take a warm, collaborative approach from the very beginning.

For child and teen intakes, parents typically meet with the clinician first (either for the full first session or the first 20–30 minutes). This gives us space to review confidentiality, fees, and how therapy will be structured — and to gently explore your child’s story. We’ll talk about school, friendships, family dynamics, interests, extracurriculars, and any challenging life experiences that may be impacting them.

Together, we begin to understand what’s underneath the behaviours and set meaningful goals as a team 🤍

Because no two children are the same, therapy is always tailored to your child’s unique needs. And especially for children under 10, parent involvement is a powerful part of the process. Small, intentional parenting shifts can create big change — and we’re here to guide you through that. Ongoing check-ins help us celebrate progress, adjust strategies, and continue moving forward with clarity and confidence.

You don’t have to navigate this alone. We walk alongside you every step of the way — nurturing growth, building resilience, and helping your child shine.

Ready to get started? 🌱

The way you speak to yourself, interpret challenges, and approach change matters. Small shifts in perspective can open the door to growth, resilience, and new possibilities — especially when life feels heavy or stuck.

Therapy can be a supportive space to explore your mindset, build self-awareness, and create patterns that better support you. We’re here when you’re ready to begin. 🧡

Therapy can feel intimidating, especially for children and teens. Taylor understands that, and she intentionally creates a warm, playful, and safe space where young people can show up fully as themselves (and even enjoy coming to sessions).

Her passion is working with children, youth, and families to build strong, collaborative therapeutic relationships that become the foundation for growth and meaningful change. Taylor practices from a trauma-informed, client- and family-centred lens, always prioritizing trust and safety in the therapy room.

Taylor is a Registered Social Worker in Alberta with a BSW from MacEwan University and an MSW with a Clinical Specialization in Infant, Child, and Adolescent Mental Health from the University of Calgary. She has years of frontline experience supporting children, youth, and families navigating trauma, abuse, sexual violence, neurodiversity, developmental concerns, and mental health challenges.

Outside the office, you can find her spending time with family and friends, hanging out with her dog Wilbur, hitting a spin class or run, and exploring local coffee shops and thrift stores. 🤍

If you’re looking for compassionate, specialized support for your child or teen, Taylor would be honoured to walk alongside your family.

When you walk through these doors, you’re stepping into a space created for care, compassion, and growth 🌱

A place where you don’t have to have it all figured out. Where your feelings are welcome, your story is heard, and you’re met exactly as you are.

Whether you’re carrying stress, grief, anxiety, or just the weight of everyday life, you don’t have to hold it alone. We’re here to walk alongside you—one step at a time.

Shame and guilt often take root early in life for many men, showing up as harsh self-criticism, perfectionism, emotional detachment, or people-pleasing. While these patterns once served as protection, they can impact relationships, emotional well-being, and our ability to show up fully as ourselves.

In this session, participants will explore how shame and guilt are shaped systemically and across generations, learn to recognize personal triggers and protective patterns, and take first steps toward greater presence, connection, and self-compassion.

Led by Graham Hall, CCC, this event offers a compassionate space for men—and those who support them—to better understand inner systems and begin healing from shame and self-criticism.

100 years of Black History Month 🧡

Black history is not confined to the past—it is living, ongoing, and foundational to the world we live in today. This Black History Month, we recognize and honour the contributions, leadership, and resilience of Black communities across culture, science, education, advocacy, and care.

It is a time to reflect on histories that have too often been overlooked, to deepen our understanding of systemic inequities, and to acknowledge the lasting impact of Black voices and experiences. Education plays a vital role in this work—learning the full story allows us to challenge harmful narratives, build empathy, and create more inclusive and equitable spaces.

As we honour Black history, we also reaffirm our responsibility to listen, uplift, and take meaningful action. This commitment extends beyond a single month and calls for ongoing learning, accountability, and solidarity—today and always.

#blackhistorymonth

For Eating Disorder Awareness Week, we’re holding space for awareness, understanding, and hope. 🌿

Eating disorders aren’t just about food. They reflect deeper mental health struggles that deserve compassion, awareness, and proper support.

If food or body image feels overwhelming, reaching out for support can be a powerful first step. Whether you’re just beginning to explore help or already on your healing journey, you deserve support that meets you where you are.

#edaw #eatingdisorderawareness #therapy #albertatherapist #mentalhealthmatters #littletreepsychology

Therapy is a safe, supportive space where you don’t have to hold everything together. Tears are welcome. Feelings are allowed. You can show up exactly as you are and be met with care, compassion, and understanding.

Crying in therapy isn’t something to apologize for. It’s often part of the process. Emotions aren’t rushed, minimized, or pushed aside here. Instead, they’re honoured at your pace, in a space designed to support you as you work through life’s challenges.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy or are looking for a place where you can feel truly supported, we’re here when you’re ready. 🌿

Taking care of yourself is productive.” 🌱

Scroll through to learn a little bit more about Play Therapy (because sometimes the best healing happens through creativity and expression!) 😍

As they play, children tend to become less guarded and open to sharing their feelings without feeling pressured. They’re allowed to do so in their own time and with their own method of communication.

Some techniques for play therapy that can be used are:
🧡 creative visualization
🧡 storytelling
🧡 role-playing
🧡 toy phones
🧡 puppets, stuffed animals, and masks
🧡 dolls or action figures
🧡 arts and crafts
🧡 water and sand play
🧡 blocks and construction toys
🧡 dance and creative movement
🧡 musical play

Play therapy can benefit children by allowing them to take more responsibility for certain behaviours, develop coping strategies and creative problem-solving skills, gaining self-respect, developing empathy and respect for others, alleviating anxiety, learning to fully experience and express feelings, build stronger social skills and build stronger family relationships.

Choosing the right therapist can feel overwhelming and we understand that. You don’t have to have it all figured out to start therapy.

Social workers are trained to support the whole picture: your emotions, relationships, life stressors, and the systems that impact your daily life.

We can't wait to hear from you! 🌱

This is your gentle reminder that as life begins to settle after the holiday rush, you don’t have to navigate the return to “normal” alone. The quiet after the chaos can bring up a mix of emotions: relief, overwhelm, sadness, or pressure to feel “back to yourself.” All of it is valid.

Whether you’re easing back into routines, feeling stretched thin, or noticing things resurface now that the busyness has slowed, support is still here. We’re here to offer a steady, compassionate space to pause, reflect, and take things at your own pace. 🌿

Meet Brenna Oswald, CCC ✨
Life can feel overwhelming, and emotions don’t always make sense — but you don’t have to figure it out alone. Brenna believes therapy should feel collaborative, supportive, and grounded in real life, not like a lecture. She offers a space where clients can slow down, feel supported, and gently build the skills needed to move forward with confidence.

Brenna is a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, along with degrees in Education and Arts. She is currently completing the final requirements to register as a Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. Her approach is whole-body and somatic, recognizing the deep connection between emotions, thoughts, and the nervous system.

Brenna works with clients navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, and those moments where you just feel stuck. She adapts therapy to each person, drawing from a blend of evidence-based and experiential approaches to support meaningful, lasting change.

Outside of sessions, Brenna can often be found spending time with her dog, Marvin — who occasionally joins therapy sessions to offer an extra layer of comfort and calm for those who enjoy a furry presence. 🐾

If you’re considering therapy and looking for a space that feels warm, grounded, and supportive, Brenna would love to connect and explore how life can feel a little lighter.

As 2025 has come to a close, we want to pause and say thank you. 💚

Thank you to our clients for trusting us with your stories, your growth, and your vulnerability. Thank you to our community for showing up with kindness, curiosity, and care. And a heartfelt thank you to our staff — for the compassion, presence, and dedication you bring into this space every single day.

✨ This year reminded us that growth doesn’t have to be rushed. Healing happens in small moments, steady steps, and safe spaces. We’re so grateful to walk alongside you.

Here’s to carrying these lessons forward, one gentle step at a time 🌿

#mentalhealthmatters #counsellingservices #sherwoodpark #therapy

Cheers to a new year filled with small joys, steady growth, and moments of calm 🌿

A gentle reminder: not everything is within your control — and that’s okay. 🌿

What is within your control is how you respond, the boundaries you choose, and the care you offer yourself.
When you notice your energy pulling toward what you can’t change, practice pausing, releasing, and redirecting it back to what supports your well-being.

Let go. Take a breath. Come back to what you can control.

✨ Save this for moments when things feel overwhelming, or share it with someone who may need the reminder today.

This is your reminder: your thoughts are not facts. 💚

Thoughts can be loud, convincing, and persistent — especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. But a thought isn’t a truth, and it doesn’t get to make your decisions for you.

These analogies can be a helpful way to notice your thoughts, create a little space from them, and practice letting them pass without judgment.

If you’re experiencing uncomfortable or self-limiting thoughts, remember: you are not your thoughts. With support and practice, it’s possible to relate to them with more compassion and clarity. 🌱

Save this for when your mind feels heavy, or share it with someone who could use this reminder today.

Meet Samantha Sutherland, MSW, RSW ✨
Life can be messy, overwhelming, and full of unknowns. Navigating it alone can feel like too much. Samantha understands how big these challenges can feel, not just for adults, but especially for children and youth who are still learning how to make sense of their inner world. She believes that everyone deserves a space where their emotions feel safe, supported, and understood.

With over a decade of frontline social work experience supporting individuals and families through domestic violence, substance use, mental health challenges, and complex high-risk situations, Samantha brings steady, compassionate care to every session. She works with children, teens, adults, and families, creating a nurturing environment where each person can explore their feelings, learn coping skills, and build emotional resilience at a pace that feels right for them.

Samantha integrates age-appropriate techniques such as play therapy, art, and talk therapy to help clients express themselves in ways that feel natural and empowering. Whether someone is processing trauma, navigating big transitions, or learning to regulate emotions, she walks alongside them with warmth, patience, and deep clinical skill.

Samantha believes that growth becomes possible when we feel truly seen and supported. If you or your loved one is ready to take the first step toward greater balance, connection, and emotional well-being, she’s here to help. 🌱

Year-End Reminder: Book Your Mental Health Session.

Use Your Benefits Before They Expire! Don’t Lose the Support You’ve Already Paid For — We're Here to Help

This is your reminder that the space moves at your pace!

That’s the heart of therapy at Little Tree Pyschology. There’s no rushing your story, no pressure to be anywhere other than where you are. Healing unfolds in its own time, and we’re here to meet you with steady support, gentle guidance, and a space that adjusts to you.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, processing past experiences, or simply wanting a place to breathe and reflect, your pace is welcome here.

When you’re ready, we’re ready. 💚

Here is one of our favourite tips to start managing your anxiety.

You deserve understanding, gentleness, and space to move at your own pace. With the right support, anxiety becomes something you can navigate with more clarity and compassion for yourself. 🌿

Don't forget to take care of yourself this holiday season! 💚

As the month fills up with plans, expectations, and to-dos, remember to make space for the things that truly refill you. Slow mornings. Quiet cups of tea. Fresh air. Connection with people who feel safe. Moments where you can breathe a little deeper and soften your shoulders.

Your needs matter, too. Let this be a gentle reminder that tending to your own well-being isn’t selfish, it’s nurturing the roots you grow from.

If you’re feeling stretched thin or unsure where to start, our therapists are here to support you with care that meets you exactly where you’re at.

EMDR therapy is a gentle, evidence-based approach that helps the brain process painful memories in a new, more adaptive way. 🌿

Using bilateral stimulation—like guided eye movements, tapping, or sound—EMDR supports the mind in reconnecting with safety, clarity, and emotional balance.

Many clients find EMDR helpful for:
• Trauma and PTSD
• Anxiety and stress
• Negative self-beliefs
• Grief and loss
• Emotional overwhelm
• Past experiences that still feel “stuck”

At Little Tree, we offer EMDR as part of a collaborative, client-centered approach to healing. If you’re curious about whether it might be a good fit, you’re welcome to reach out or explore more on our website.

You don’t have to navigate hard experiences alone. 🌱

Meet Graham Hall, CCC ✨

Graham’s counselling approach is rooted in trauma-informed principles and shaped under the mentorship of one of Canada’s leading Clinical Traumatologists. He understands that no two people experience their lives — or their pain — in the same way. Because of this, Graham tailors therapy to each individual, drawing from humanistic, emotionally focused, CBT, and parts-work approaches to meet clients in the language their nervous system speaks.

Graham especially enjoys supporting adults at meaningful transition points — those established in their careers (50+) and those still uncovering their strengths and “superpowers” (18–30). These seasons often hold deep potential for growth, healing, and reconnection with one’s purpose.

His areas of focus include:
🌿 Trauma & PTSD
🔥 Anger & Sensitivity
💛 Depression & Anxiety
🕊️ Grief & Loss
✨ Life Purpose & Performance
🌱 Perfectionism
🔗 Relational Enmeshment & Engagement

Graham brings not only clinical skill, but also extensive personal experience in understanding, relating to, and advocating for Indigenous peoples navigating systemic injustices and intergenerational trauma. His work is grounded, compassionate, and deeply human.

If you’re feeling the pull to grow, heal, or repattern the systems within you, Graham is now accepting new clients and would be honoured to walk alongside you.

Fidget toys aren’t just a trend! They can be a meaningful tool for supporting your mental health. ✨

They offer a quiet, non-disruptive outlet for restless energy, helping the mind settle and the body feel grounded. Many people find that they reduce stress and anxiety, support emotional regulation through gentle sensory input, and even improve focus when things feel overwhelming.

If you’ve been feeling scattered or on edge, small tools like this can make everyday moments more manageable.

And if you’re curious about what might help you feel more regulated, therapy can be a great place to explore what works for you.

International Men’s Day is a chance to talk openly about men’s mental health—something that often goes unspoken. 💙

International Men’s Day is an important reminder that men’s mental health matters too. Many men feel pressure to stay strong, keep things together, or handle everything on their own. In Canada, men are three times more likely to die by suicide, yet only about 30% of men experiencing mental health challenges seek help. These numbers reflect a deeper issue: societal pressure to appear “strong” or “in control,” even when life feels heavy.

But emotional support is not a weakness. Reaching out is a meaningful and healthy step.

If you’ve been noticing increased stress, burnout, irritability, withdrawal, or changes in your mood or energy, you’re not alone. These can be signs that your system is carrying more than it can manage. Support is available, and healing is possible. 🌿

At Little Tree Psychology, we support men navigating depression, anxiety, work-related stress, anger, substance use, relationship challenges, life transitions, and more. You don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming to reach out.

Today and every day, we see you, and we’re here to support you. 💚

World Kindness Day is all about celebrating kindness in all its forms, self-kindness included!!

Kindness doesn’t always have to be grand gestures or big moments. It can be as simple as offering a smile, checking in on a friend, holding space for someone’s feelings, or speaking gently to yourself when things don’t go as planned.

Being kind to others starts with being kind to yourself because when you nurture compassion within, it naturally extends outward. Rest when you need to, forgive yourself for being human, and let empathy guide the way you connect with others.

✨ Today, take a moment to notice where you can bring a little more kindness — to yourself, to the people around you, and to the world as a whole. Even the smallest acts can leave a lasting impact.

Meet the Team: Ana Zulic ✨

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit — in your family, relationships, workplace, or even within yourself. Ana wants you to know you’re not alone. Many people carry quiet, painful beliefs about who they are: feeling like the black sheep, struggling with a diagnosis, or sensing that life could be better than it is. These inner battles can feel overwhelming. If this resonates, you’re in the right place.

Ana believes therapy offers something deeply transformative: a space where you can be truly seen, understood, and supported. When pain is met with genuine attunement, the nervous system can finally settle. This opens the door to exploring emotions, challenging beliefs, and trying new ways of being. This isn’t just intellectual work; it’s experiential. The therapeutic relationship becomes a model for healthier attachment, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. 🌿

Ana believes healing is always possible — and there is no deadline. Maybe healing isn’t about becoming the “best version” of yourself; maybe it’s allowing the hardest parts of you to be loved.

When you’re ready, she’ll walk with you on that journey back to yourself. 💛

We’re so happy to share that Little Tree has officially opened a small office in Camrose — a cozy, calm space for Cassidy to support clients right in the community. 🌿

✨ Cassidy will continue seeing clients in our Sherwood Park office on Mondays and Tuesdays, and she’ll now be in the Camrose office on Fridays to support the community there.

When we’re running on little sleep, everything feels harder.
Our patience wears thin, emotions feel heavier, and even small challenges can feel overwhelming.

Getting enough rest isn’t just about feeling less tired, it’s about giving your mind the space it needs to process, heal, and recharge. 💚

At Little Tree Psychology, we know that quality sleep plays a big role in your overall mental health.

If you’ve been feeling more anxious, down, or disconnected lately, take a moment to check in with your sleep. Sometimes, improving rest is the first gentle step toward feeling more balanced and grounded. 🌙

✨ Your mind deserves rest. Not as a just reward, but as a part of caring for yourself.

Stay positive this season by embracing the little things: gratitude, light, warmth, creativity, and mindfulness. 🌞✨

Small habits make a big difference in your mental wellness. 💛

As the seasons shift, so can you. This month, give yourself permission to pause, breathe, and truly show up for yourself—mind, body, and heart.

November invites us to slow down and turn inward. It’s a gentle reminder that self-care isn’t selfish, it’s necessary. Take time to rest, journal, walk in nature, or simply check in with how you’re feeling. Small moments of reflection can make a big difference in your mental wellness. 🌿

As the days get shorter and life feels busier, remember: growth also happens in stillness. Choose to nurture yourself, set mindful intentions, and create space for calm.

You deserve to feel grounded, balanced, and cared for.

✨ Ready to make your well-being a priority this season? Connect with one of our therapists at Little Tree Psychology and take the next step toward balance and growth.
