I'm Angela Dore, social worker and therapist in Calgary, Alberta
Welcome to my practice. I'm thrilled to introduce myself and share a bit about who I am. In my work, I bring a deep sense of compassion and care, striving to establish a nurturing and welcoming space for you to open up and feel safe.
As a queer woman with ADHD, I understand the complexities of identity and the challenges that come with executive dysfunction. I recognize the importance of feeling accepted and truly supported during the therapeutic journey. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the bedrock of meaningful change.
Together, we will embark on a journey to explore your strengths, identify your goals, and uncover any barriers that may have been holding you back. We'll delve into the ways your past influences your present, work on creating new, effective patterns, and prove that change is not just possible but achievable.
Committed to Diversity and Respectful Engagement
At Calm Harbour Counselling, we welcome and respect everyone's identities, beliefs, and backgrounds. Our approach is based on anti-oppressive principles and values of social justice, and we're always open to feedback and taking thoughtful actions to keep improving.
Acknowledging The Land and Its First Peoples
At Calm Harbour Counselling we acknowledge our presence on the ancestral lands of the Treaty 7 signatories, including the Siksika, Piikani, Kainai, Stoney Nakoda, Tsuut’ina, and Métis peoples of Alberta Region 3. Our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation extends beyond acknowledgment and is reflected in our ongoing learning and actionable contributions, such as an annual donation to the Awo Taan Healing Lodge Society.
