Family Therapy in Calgary

Families come in every shape. Family therapy helps members understand one another, ease conflict, and strengthen the relationships that hold you together.

Available in-person in Calgary SW and virtually across Alberta.

Family therapy brings members together to improve communication, work through conflict, and strengthen understanding across generations. Chloe works with families of all kinds, including biological, blended, chosen, and multi generational households, using approaches that honour each person's perspective and experience. Sessions are available in person in Calgary and virtually across Alberta. Reach out for a free consultation to talk about what your family needs.

How we approach family counselling

Family counselling looks at the patterns between people, not just one person's struggle. Change often comes from shifting how the family connects.

Chloe helps families of every kind communicate more clearly, ease conflict, and understand each other better. We decide together who is in the room for each session.

Blended families, single parent families, chosen families, and families of every background are welcome here.

Family therapy: FAQ

Does the whole family need to attend?

Not always. Sometimes we start with one or two people and bring others in as it helps. We decide together who is in the room for each session.

Do you work with families of all kinds?

Yes. Blended families, single parent families, chosen families, and families of every background and identity are welcome here.

Can family therapy help with a teen who is struggling?

Often, yes. When one person is having a hard time, the patterns around them matter. Working together can take pressure off the teen and help everyone feel more understood.

Is family therapy covered by insurance in Alberta?

Sessions are with Chloe Machielse, a Registered Psychologist, so they are eligible for reimbursement under most extended health plans that cover psychologists. You pay at the time of session and receive a receipt to submit to your insurer. Check your plan for psychologist coverage and any annual limit.
