“Every story we tell ourselves is a reflection of the resilience and a pathway to re-authoring our lives.”

-Michael White

Karen Lawless is a psychologist in Calgary, AB specializing in ADHD, depression, trauma, stress, relationships, and grief.

Welcome! If feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or the impact of trauma and navigating these through the lens of neurodivergence sounds familiar, I am here to help. I understand that neurodivergence adds complexity to life’s challenges, from managing emotions to adapting to changes. Working with children, adolescents, and adults, I’ve seen how unique each individual’s journey is, especially when cultural identities and personal histories intersect with these experiences. I believe in building resilience and equipping you with tools that make everyday life feel a bit lighter, empowering you to navigate life authentically and confidently.

My approach is flexible, shaped by your needs, and informed by evidence-based practices, such as EMDR therapy, allowing us to explore techniques that work for you and your family. I am also approved to work with families funded through FSCD. 

I invite you for a 20-minute free consultation to see if we are a good fit to embark on this journey together. I look forward to hearing from you!

A few things about me:

I love movies, TV shows, and books, anything with a good, cozy story.

Walking is my favourite form of movement, especially if it takes place in a forest or the mountains.

Though I have a wonderful husband, my cat is the true love of my life.

I have recently started dabbling in a yoga practice and am amazed by its benefits!
