IFS Therapy with a Registered Psychologist in NW Calgary to Support Your Healing Journey

IFS therapy in Calgary can help you reconnect with your Self, understand your inner world, and heal at your own pace. When life takes unexpected turns, the road ahead can feel overwhelming. No matter where you find yourself, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

Connect Heal Grow Psychology was created to support adults working through trauma, anxiety, overwhelm, and emotional patterns that leave them feeling stuck or disconnected. As a Calgary psychologist specializing in IFS therapy, somatic approaches, and trauma counselling, I offer a warm, trauma-informed space where genuine connection, compassion, and steady support guide our work together.

Whether you’re seeking IFS therapy in Calgary to process trauma, soften inner critics, reduce anxiety, or understand long-standing emotional patterns, therapy here honours all parts of you—supporting you to Connect, Heal, and Grow at a pace that feels right for your system.

Healing Happens in Safe Connection

Healing doesn’t happen by forcing change — it happens when we feel safe enough to soften.
My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect for every part of you. I believe your system already carries the wisdom it needs; together, we create the internal safety for that wisdom to come forward. Therapy is a place to slow down, listen to your body, and gently transform the patterns that once helped you survive.

What You Can Expect in Therapy

Gentle, Compassionate Approach

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you — it’s about meeting what arises with warmth, curiosity, and care. We go at the pace your system can hold.

Deep, Lasting Change

We look beyond symptoms to the root of what’s happening. Together, we explore the patterns shaped by your past so they don’t have to shape your future..

A Body-Based, Trauma-Informed Lens

Your nervous system and your parts hold important stories. Somatic and IFS therapy helps us listen to those signals and create real internal safety.

Respect for All Parts of You

Every part of you has had a role in helping you survive — even the ones that feel reactive, avoidant, or overwhelmed. We get to know these parts with compassion, not judgment.

A Collaborative, Supportive Process

You’re not doing this alone. Therapy is a shared space where your pace, your needs, and your inner wisdom guide the work we do together.

Meet Anya: A Calgary Psychologist Offering IFS & Somatic Therapy Rooted in Compassion

Hi, I’m Anya Stang — a Registered Psychologist and IFS therapist in Calgary, and the heart behind Connect Heal Grow Psychology. I began this practice out of a deep belief that healing happens through relationship, connection, and the gentle work of meeting your inner world with compassion. My approach is collaborative and steady. I trust your system’s innate wisdom, and I’m here to walk beside you as we explore what’s been overwhelming, confusing, or painful.

As a Calgary psychologist specializing in trauma therapy, I integrate IFS and somatic approaches to help you understand the parts of you that carry fear, exhaustion, anger, or sadness. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating. Together, we make sense of these experiences with curiosity — allowing every part of you to be seen, understood, and supported.

Whether you’re navigating trauma, anxiety, dissociation, people-pleasing, or long-standing emotional patterns, my aim is to create a space where you feel safe, grounded, and empowered. Your story, your pace, and your inner world matter here. Every part of you is welcome at Connect Heal Grow Psychology

Areas of Focus

Trauma & PTSD

Healing takes time and tenderness. Together, we’ll explore what your experiences are asking of you and begin to restore a sense of safety and trust within yourself.

Perfectionism & People- Pleasing

Beneath perfectionism and people-pleasing are parts longing to feel safe and valued. Together, we’ll listen to their stories and help you find freedom in authenticity and self-trust.

Anxiety & Overwhelm

Anxiety and overwhelm can leave you feeling tense, restless, or on edge. Together, we’ll slow things down, listen to what your body and mind are trying to say, and begin to create space for calm and clarity.

Life Transitions & Personal Growth

Times of change can bring uncertainty or low mood. In my Calgary-based counselling for life transitions, we’ll slow down and make sense of these shifts together. By exploring what this season is asking of you, we’ll help you move forward with clarity and more trust in yourself. 

Self Esteem & Self Criticism

It’s easy to lose confidence when an inner voice constantly questions or criticizes you. Together, we’ll meet these parts with curiosity and compassion, helping you build a kinder relationship with yourself and reconnect with your sense of worth.

Relationship Patterns

Our early experiences often shape how we show up in relationships — how we seek closeness, protect ourselves, or pull away. When old patterns keep repeating, therapy offers space to understand what’s happening beneath them. Together, we explore these patterns with compassion, supporting healthier, more authentic ways of connecting. 

My practice welcomes a range of client concerns, and the areas below reflect where my work is most deeply rooted.
