Lorena is currently accepting new clients.
Hello, I’m Lorena, a Registered Social Worker with the Alberta College of Social Workers. Having grown up in the Airdrie and Calgary area, I’m proud to call Alberta’s Wildrose Country my home. I earned my Master’s degree from the University of Calgary and bring many years of experience working in the domestic violence field to my practice.
I am deeply passionate about a whole-self approach to wellness, where I integrate mental, physical, and emotional health to support lasting change. My work focuses on building a strong therapeutic relationship and fostering a meaningful connection with my clients.
I specialize in working with individual adults, couples and teens, addressing a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, chronic illness and pain, ADHD, trauma, body image or eating concerns and relationship issues. My goal is to empower clients to take charge of their well-being, nurturing self-awareness, balance, and growth.
With a client-centred, humanistic philosophy, I tailor my approach using evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I adapt to the unique needs of each client to help them achieve their goals and build agency in their lives.
Outside of work, I love spending time with my family, including my two miniature dachshunds, Nala and Winnie. I’m also an avid reader, especially of non-fiction on topics like health, culture, and history, as well as classic literature. I find joy in lifelong learning and exploring new ideas.
If you're ready to take the first step towards a healthier, more balanced life, I’d love to support you on your journey. Let’s connect to see if we’re the right fit for each other.
