AMBER BRODZIAK
MSW RSW
Since I was very young, I knew I wanted to help others and make a difference in people's lives. 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 of my clients, and work diligently to help find the answers they seek.
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.
I am a Registered Social Worker with a Masters 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.
I grew up in Manitoba and have called Calgary home since 2012. I have a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Calgary and have worked with children, adolescents, adults, parents and families throughout my 12 years of counselling experience.
My areas of specialization include trauma-based difficulties, child and adolescent behavioral challenges, parenting and family-based conflict, and addiction.

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).
