Carly Bruce, MC

Carly is deeply passionate about helping people and is honored to be able to share in the healing process with her clients. She believes the therapeutic relationship between the client and herself is one of the most important elements in creating a safe place for healing and growth. Carly has found that clients connect with her through her accepting nature, sense of humour, and the resources she provides them during session. Her areas of interest include grief and loss, anxiety, issues related to identity and self-worth, attachment issues, healing trauma and PTSD, and faith related issues. Carly utilizes a variety of therapeutic modalities to help guide her work with clients that include Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Person-centered, mindfulness, and The Grief Recovery Method®. Carly is a faith-based therapist rooted in Christianity; however, she gives her clients the choice of if or how they would like faith integrated into their treatment. 

Carly is a Registered Psychologist in the province of Alberta and has a varied professional background. Her experiences include working as a specialized elementary school teacher locally and internationally, working collaboratively with Child and Family Services, working in community mental health, and private counselling services. Carly enjoys designing and teaching adult anxiety psychoeducational groups as well as facilitating Grief Recovery Method support groups. She has obtained a Master of Counselling degree from City University of Seattle.
