Meet Smyrna Gonzalez | Calgary registered Provisional Psychologist
In-person in Calgary & Virtual Across Alberta
I provide a welcoming, non-judgmental space for adults — particularly men — navigating emotional pain, identity struggles, low self-worth, or grief. Whether you're experiencing the loss of a loved one (including a cherished pet), facing life transitions, or feeling unsure about your confidence or direction, I offer compassionate support grounded in evidence-based therapy.
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.
