Serving Okotoks, Calgary, High River, Diamond Valley, and surrounding areas.
Welcome, my name is Laurissa and I focus on providing compassionate psychological support that is grounded in evidence-based practice and caters to the unique needs of each individual.
I work from a holistic approach, which means I aim to support you in the areas of mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual growth and healing. I believe therapy should empower you, help you to be more in control of your life, and enhance or heal your relationships (with self and others). I show up to each session with warmth and authenticity, working from a place of compassion, respect, curiosity, and humour.
My focus is to help you move through life's challenges with a greater sense of awareness and skill, while processing past experiences that may be weighing you down or keeping you stuck. I provide tools and resources to support you in navigating life's stressors and challenges.

Laurissa Knight
Registered Psychologist
I am a client-centered, trauma-informed therapist with a master's degree in Counselling Psychology. I utilize various modalities including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution Focused approaches, but you will see additional modalities utilized along the way. My professional philosophy is that everyone is capable of growth and healing, and we can all benefit from a little support or guidance to get there. I work with adults and youth (16+) in the areas of anxiety, ADHD, depression, anger, trauma, self-worth, body image, boundaries, communication, relationship concerns, and grief/loss. I foster a welcoming and warm space where you can feel comfortable showing up as you are to explore your life, challenges, and hopes with honesty and compassion.
