I am a Registered Psychologist and I obtained my Bachelor of Science Degree in Honours Psychology from MacEwan University and my M.Ed in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta. I have previously worked at practices that specialized in working with OCD and other anxiety disorders. It’s an honour and a privilege to help support individuals navigate life’s challenges and I strive to provide a safe, calm, non-judgemental, supportive and empathetic space.

I work with people aged 12+ and I have experience in supporting individuals with OCD, anxiety (social, generalized, health, panic attacks, phobias), depression, perfectionism, trauma, chronic pain, and self-esteem and body image concerns. I’ve helped many individuals break free from the OCD cycle and overcome maladaptive thinking patterns. I believe we all have the power to create the change we desire - and I’m here to support you on that journey

Therapy is collaborative and no two individuals are the same, which is why I draw from multiple modalities in my clinical work. The therapeutic modalities I use and am trained in include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I can help you gain insight and provide practical tools and strategies while working collaboratively with you to help you achieve your goals.

I’m a Registered Psychologist and obtained my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from the University of Calgary and Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Athabasca University. It is very important to me to bring warmth, patience and gratitude into every therapy session and to foster an environment of trust and safety with all of my clients. Prior to supporting clients in private practice, I offered counselling and behaviour consultation services to clients of all abilities at a not-for-profit agency.

I am well-versed in the short-term and long-term effects of trauma and am passionate about supporting clients on their journey to improved mental health and well-being. In addition to this, I also enjoy supporting clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, and emotional burnout concerns. I have experience counselling teens, adults and seniors and am passionate about clients of all abilities and culturally diverse backgrounds. I believe we all possess the strength to overcome life’s challenges and that counselling support can help to enhance these skills.

I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) but also incorporate elements of Mindfulness, Narrative and Solution Focused Therapy in my work. Through these modalities, I assist clients in reflecting on how past experiences can shape the way they currently view themselves, others, and the world. I believe that when we are able to understand the impact that previous experiences have had, we gain the insight to address current challenges as well as harness our strength and abilities to achieve our goals.

I am a Registered Psychologist with a Master’s in Education specializing in School and Applied Child Psychology from the University of Calgary. Originally from England, I earned my B.Sc. in Psychology before making Canada my home in 2008. I specialize in conducting comprehensive psychoeducational assessments for children, youth, and adults. These assessments are designed to identify and understand various psychological and educational challenges, providing a personalized foundation for effective treatment, strategies, and support. I take pride in delivering thorough, accurate, and holistic assessments tailored to each individual’s needs.

In addition to my assessment services, I offer play-based therapy for children aged approximately 2 to 12. Children often struggle to understand and verbalize their emotions, making play the primary mode of communication. Play-based therapy fosters emotional wellness, enhances personal strengths, improves relationships, facilitates communication, and helps children process difficult events to gain a sense of control. It is an effective approach for addressing a wide range of childhood challenges, including trauma, anxiety, ADHD, bullying, social skills, OCD, attachment and adjustment issues, aggression, depression, low self-esteem, and perfectionism.

I’ve always been passionate about supporting children and have worked with them in various capacities for over 20 years. My experience has allowed me to develop a natural affinity with them, and the ability to connect with kids on a deeper level. I love discovering each child’s unique personality and skills and finding creative ways to adapt to their interests and communication styles. Watching children grow, find their voice, and overcome challenges is one of the greatest joys of my work. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where they can express themselves, build confidence, and thrive. Every child brings something special, and I feel privileged to help them on their journey. My therapeutic approach is grounded in strength-based, solution-focused, and cognitive-behavioral principles, but my priority is always making sure that every interaction feels meaningful, supportive, and tailored to each child’s needs.​

​

Beyond my work with children, I also offer support for teenagers and adults facing anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, and life transitions. My services can be covered by the Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program, which provides coverage to eligible First Nations and Inuit clients. I adopt a holistic approach, considering the multiple factors influencing behaviors or symptoms, and strive to provide interventions that address the whole person. My goal is to empower clients of all ages to overcome obstacles, face challenges and achieve emotional well-being so that you may flourish.

I’m a Registered Psychologist with a Bachelor of Art’s Degree in Psychology from the University of British Columbia and a Master’s of Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University in Fredericton, New Brunswick. My early experience in the field focused on supporting youth and families in diverse settings including specialized mental health classrooms, residential settings and outreach treatment programs. Before entering private practice, I spent five years as a mental health therapist in a primary care setting working largely with youth, adults and couples. I believe that a strong collaborative and connected therapeutic relationship is the foundation of successful therapy. In our work together I strive to create a safe empathetic space where you truly feel seen and heard, allowing for genuine exploration and growth. I view therapy as a partnership, where we work together to identify your goals and overcome the challenges that stand in the way. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. You may be managing work, relationships, or family responsibilities while quietly struggling with stress, focus, burnout, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Perhaps you are high functioning on the outside but internally feel overwhelmed and exhausted, struggling to stay organized or focused, or are questioning your direction in life or relationships. Therapy provides a space to step back, make sense of these patterns, and begin building a life that feels more aligned with your values and goals. If you have spent years feeling frustrated, misunderstood, or wondering why things seem harder for you than for others, you are not alone. Many adults discover later in life that their lifelong struggles with focus, organization, emotional regulation, or overwhelm may be related to ADHD or other forms of neurodivergence. I provide ADHD assessment and support for neurodivergent teens and adults, helping clients gain clarity about their experiences and develop practical strategies that work with their brain rather than against it. My work integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with evidence-based coaching strategies. Together, we focus on improving focus, managing overwhelm, building sustainable routines, and reducing the shame or self-criticism that many neurodivergent individuals carry. In addition to ADHD-related work, I support clients experiencing anxiety, burnout, life transitions, and identity exploration. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and focused on helping you build a life that aligns with your values and to embrace life’s uncertainties with resilience and purpose. I use mindfulness and evidence-based tools to support psychological flexibility, so you can move towards your goals even when facing discomfort. If you are ready to make meaningful changes, I invite you to connect and explore how we can work together to support your growth and well-being.

Dr. Dennis Pusch is a registered Clinical Psychologist who completed his B.A. in Honours Psychology at Trinity Western University (graduating summa cum laude) prior to completing his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees at the University of Calgary.

Dennis brings years of training and experience in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to his clinical work, but adds other therapeutic models and perspectives to his work according to the needs of his clients, including acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, existential therapy and relapse prevention. He is committed to using therapeutic strategies that have been consistently proven to be effective, but believes that those strategies are most helpful if they are offered in a therapy relationship that is supportive, friendly, and respectful. Dennis’ clients are generally adults (including seniors) and adolescents, and he is pleased to offer services to people from all faiths, races, and orientations. He works with clients who are struggling with depression, anxiety in all its forms (e.g., panic, OCD, social anxiety, phobias, generalized anxiety), work stress, trauma, addictions (including drug and alcohol addictions as well as behavioural addictions like sex addiction, gambling, Internet, video games or shopping), and death or loss. He also provides marital therapy, as well as assessments for educational and vocational purposes. Dennis has been qualified as an expert witness in court, and maintains memberships in the College of Alberta Psychologists, the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta, the Canadian Psychological Association, and the Canadian Association of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

While his first passion remains his work as a therapist, Dennis has maintained a broader range of professional interests. He has been a field supervisor for the Clinical Psychology program at the University of Calgary and has trained graduate students and psychology residents in assessment and therapy, as well as supervising a number of provisional psychologists. He has served as a member of the Adult Mental Health Advisory Council for two years. He was instrumental in developing and leading the Behavioural Health Consultation program in Calgary, and he has served as the project lead and chair of a working group that developed a clinical pathway for depression in primary care. He is also collaborating with Dr. Keith Dobson (University of Calgary) in leading a multi-year research program designed to assess the impact of childhood trauma on physical and mental health outcomes later in life, and to develop treatments that can be offered in primary care settings for adults who experienced traumatic events in childhood. His work has been presented at numerous conferences and in peer-reviewed academic publications.
