Our Team
Finding the right therapist is essential to the therapeutic process. It is most important to us that you feel comfortable and at ease throughout this entire process.
AMBER BRODZIAK
MSW RSW
I have always been fascinated by how people live their lives and interact with others. My belief is that previous experiences and relationships have shaped how we live our lives, and sometimes that works out easily, and other times that’s very difficult for us.
I believe in offering my honest self, in a supportive and caring way. I am honoured to be invited to hear your story to help create positive change. I truly care for all my clients and work hard to help you feel
better.
It is most important to me that those seeking therapy feel safe, heard, and understood. Finding the right therapist is important and vital to the counselling process. Being vulnerable is not easy and having a therapist that is non-judgemental and open is absolutely necessary.
My goal is to help you find what the root of the issue is. I specialize in working through relational and childhood trauma, attachment and relationship difficulties, anxiety, parenting and family conflict, boundary
difficulties and self-esteem. The modalities I use are Gottman Method (for couples), Attachment-Based models, CBT, and DBT primarily.
I work with individuals, couples, and families. I am a Registered Social Worker with a Master’s Degree and have practiced in the field of counselling and mental health for almost 16 years. I am extremely
committed and passionate about this work, and dedicated to helping you in any way I can.

Trust and building relationships are two of the biggest foundations of my practice in working with others. I work hard to create an open and safe environment where clients can feel supported to work through their difficulties and challenges. It is important to me that clients feel they can be open and honest as they share the obstacles they face. I believe it takes courage to reach out for support and consider it an honour and a privilege to work collaboratively with my clients to reach their goals.

MACP, Reg. Provisional Psychologist
I believe individuals can create the change they desire once they have gained greater self-awareness. This insight provides them with the opportunity to better understand how their experiences have shaped their lives, impacted their perspectives and determined their actions, which are often influenced by stressors and challenges. I believe it is important to help explore an individual’s strengths, as this will empower them to work toward their personal goals for growth, to build their confidence and effectively cope.
I have adopted a humanistic perspective within my counselling approach by using a person-centered focus. I believe in taking a non-judgmental approach and building a positive therapeutic rapport to ensure the individual feels emotionally safe to explore their challenges. I am committed to assisting you on your journey to wellness and will support you within your best interests!
I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists and have been working with adults, youth and families in the addiction and mental health field since 2008. The areas that I specialize in are anxiety, depression, trauma, mind-body connection and addiction.

As a therapist, it is an honour and a privilege to be invited into a fellow human’s journey as they navigate the complexities of this world. I believe that creating a therapeutic relationship built on trust and connection, where one feels truly safe, is such an important part of this work. By fostering self-awareness, tapping into our most authentic selves, discovering tools, and building resilience, we create opportunities for sustainable change to move through life with more ease and meaning.
Through integrative practices, I emphasize a client-centered and holistic approach to health and wellness. I aim to see the whole person and understand the whole system. My treatment approach is highly relational, collaborative, and I value ongoing feedback from my clients. Utilizing evidence-based modalities, my approach draws from Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I am a Registered Psychologist and have been working in the addiction & mental health and counselling field for over 10 years.

DIANA WAMSTEEKER
MSW RSW
I believe in creating a collaborative relationship with clients, who I believe are the experts in their own lives. It is important to me to create a safe and welcoming environment where clients feel heard, valued, and respected. It is an immense privilege to enter the stories of other people’s lives and I feel deeply honoured to do so. Previous clients have described me as down-to-earth, warm, and empathetic.
It is important for me to tailor treatment and interventions specific to each client’s individual needs, and so wholehearted listening and understanding to each unique story, experience, and situation is vital. Diverse experience within Alberta and Newfoundland had allowed me to utilize a variety of therapeutic modalities and intervention, based on a mutual understanding of client goals. I ensure treatment is trauma-informed and focused by using best practice standards. I utilize evidence-based treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy within the context of a helpful therapeutic relationship.
I am a Registered Social Worker within the Province of Alberta and have been working within the mental health field since 2005. I have extensive experience working with children, youth, and adults and specialize in stress management, anxiety, depression, trauma, work-life balance, parenting, and relationship difficulties. I offer individual, couple, and family counselling.

I have always been drawn to working with people and knew from a young age that I would work in a helping capacity. I consider it an honour to learn about each person’s unique journey. It is important to me that clients feel heard, safe, and understood as they work through the challenges that brought them to therapy.
I am a Registered Social Worker and have focused my career on psychotherapy and the addiction and mental health field. My therapy practice is informed by Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Psychodynamic approaches.
I grew up on the west coast and have called Calgary home since 2017. My approach is compassionate, honest, collaborative, and direct. I believe therapy should feel like a comfortable and thought-provoking conversation, as well as being an opportunity to learn new tools to handle life’s challenges. Building an authentic therapeutic relationship with my clients is the foundation of my work, and it is a privilege to do so.
