You want to help your anxious child, but sometimes it feels like the more you try, the worse things get. The SPACE Program teaches parents evidence-based strategies to support childhood anxiety without traditional child therapy. Developed at Yale, SPACE is as effective as CBT and helps you respond with confidence instead of accommodation. Discover how helping doesn't mean rescuing — it means trusting your child can cope.

Tears aren’t weakness. They’re wisdom. As a trauma-informed psychologist in Calgary, I believe crying is communication, not a problem to fix. At Off the Beaten Path Psychology, we help clients feel safe to express emotion, build nervous system capacity, and reconnect with their true selves. Therapy isn’t about holding it together, it’s about healing through authenticity and compassion.

We remember the teachers who saw us when we felt invisible. Who believed in us when we didn't believe in ourselves. Who gave us books, wrote back in our journals, and showed up with Band-Aids on their faces. The OBP team shares stories of the teachers who changed everything.

Wondering if it's okay to switch therapists within the same practice? At Off the Beaten Path Psychology in Calgary, Airdrie, and Cochrane, we think it's brave. Finding the right therapeutic fit matters, and we'd rather you stay in therapy with someone who works for you than drop out.
