Men’s Counselling & Grief Support in Calgary

Therapy for Men, Grief Recovery (Including Pet Loss), and Self-Esteem

Meet Smyrna Gonzalez | Calgary registered Provisional Psychologist

In-person in Calgary & Virtual Across Alberta

I provide counselling and couples therapy in Calgary for individuals, couples, and families seeking compassionate, practical support with relationship challenges and life transitions. I support clients with pre-marriage and premarital counselling, early marriage therapy, relationship breakups, childhood and family trauma and grief and loss therapy, including pet loss. I also provide a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space for male victims of domestic violence and those impacted by difficult or abusive relationships.

Whether you are preparing for marriage, navigating the early years of a relationship, coping with a breakup, working through trauma, or grieving a significant loss, therapy can provide a supportive space to process difficult experiences and move forward. My evidence-based approach helps clients improve communication, manage emotions, rebuild trust, strengthen relationships, and develop practical strategies for greater clarity, resilience, and emotional well-being.

My practice is also culturally responsive and bilingual — sessions are available in both English and Spanish.

Therapy with me is open and nonjudgmental.

I welcome all parts of your story and help you discover new possibilities for growth.

Outside the therapy room…

Spending quality time with my loved ones is always my top priority.
