Emily Mc Michael Student Intern

Hi! My name is Emily Mc Michael and I am currently working as a student intern while finishing my Master of Counselling Psychology degree at City University of Seattle, Calgary campus. I am available for sessions in Calgary, Airdrie, and virtually.

Before moving to Calgary, I spent over a decade living and working internationally as a yoga therapist, supporting clients through a holistic and integrative lens. Over time, I noticed that many individuals shared emotional and psychological challenges connected to their physical concerns. This experience inspired me to pursue further training in psychology, allowing me to support people in a more comprehensive way.

I am passionate about working collaboratively and compassionately with clients, believing that each person holds unique insight into their own healing and growth. Clients often describe my style as gentle yet direct, and appreciate my relatable, warm, and sometimes humorous approach.

I work primarily with teens and adults, drawing from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and solution-focused therapy. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, grief and loss, eating disorders, and trauma. My approach is strengths-based and non-judgmental, creating a space where clients can feel supported, understood, and empowered.
If you feel we might be a good fit, I would be happy to connect with you.
