Welcome to Emotional Wellness Therapy!
Does This Sound Familiar?
Let’s Begin With Care
Many of the people I work with arrive feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to begin — but something inside them is ready for change.
- Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, or persistent negative thinking?
- Is your child or teen facing emotional challenges, behavioural shifts, or school-related stress?
- Are you navigating the complexities of ADHD, neurodivergence, or unresolved experiences from your past?
- Do you feel overwhelmed by parenting stress, relationship ruptures, or work-related burnout?
If these words reflect your own story, I offer a space where it can be heard, understood, and gently held. Therapy here is more than a service — it is a relationship built on trust, presence, and emotional safety. Let me show you what that feels like.
I’m Cheryl Nelson, Clinical Social Worker based in Calgary. I created Emotional Wellness Therapy to be a safe, welcoming space where individuals, couples, and families across generations can explore their emotional world, heal attachment wounds, and build stronger, more connected relationships. My practice is grounded in Attachment-Based Therapy (ABT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) — approaches that support deep healing and lasting change.
What I Help You Achieve
Together, we work toward therapy goals that matter to you:
- Emotional clarity, connection, and regulation
- Improved communication and intimacy
- Reconnecting with yourself and those you love
- Healing from anxiety, depression, and trauma
- Understanding your emotional needs and attachment style
- Developing tools to manage stress, conflict, and emotional overwhelm
- Strengthening bonds between parents and children
- Navigating neurodivergence, especially ADHD, with confidence
- Moving through grief, burnout, and major life transitions with resilience
Whether you are seeking individual therapy, couples counselling, family therapy, or support for teens and young people, I tailor each session to your unique needs and goals. I also specialize in relationship counselling, parenting stress, and intergenerational trauma, helping families move from rupture to repair.
Therapy with me is a collaborative process — gentle, grounded, and attuned to your emotional rhythm. Clients often tell me they feel truly seen and understood. I do not offer quick fixes or surface-level advice. Instead, I help you build emotional resilience, deepen self-awareness, and create meaningful change.
You can expect:
- A warm, non-judgmental environment
- Clear guidance and collaborative goal-setting
- Practical tools to manage emotional overwhelm, panic attacks, and persistent low mood
- Support for navigating family dynamics, trust issues, and intimacy challenges
Each session is a space to reconnect — with yourself, your relationships, and your inner truth.
I have dedicated my career to helping people heal from emotional wounds and rediscover their capacity for connection. My approach is relational, trauma-informed, and rooted in clinical expertise and human presence. I understand the courage it takes to seek help — and I honour that by creating a space where healing feels possible.
Whether you are facing emotional dysregulation, attachment injuries, communication issues, or simply want to feel more grounded and connected, Emotional Wellness Therapy offers the support you need to move forward.
