Gemma Reynolds
REGISTERED PROVISIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST
Gemma is a therapist based in the center of downtown Calgary, Alberta, working with teens (15+) and adults navigating trauma, addictions, OCD, relationship challenges, and concurrent mental health concerns.
She also supports clients experiencing difficulties with emotion regulation, self-esteem, and patterns that feel hard to change, offering therapy that is grounded, practical, and tailored to each individual.
Gemma works with couples seeking support with relationships, including managing conflict, improving communication, and rebuilding connection. Her approach is collaborative and flexible, helping clients better understand their thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and underlying beliefs while developing meaningful coping strategies.
Her focus is on meeting clients where they are, helping them build insight, resilience, and lasting change.
COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT)
I work with clients to explore how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours are connected and identify patterns of thinking/behaving that are no longer helpful. Together, we also explore your core beliefs and consider new ways of thinking and acting that support your goals.
DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY (DBT) INFORMED
I use skills from DBT to help clients manage emotions, practice mindfulness, tolerate distress, improve relationships, and balance acceptance with positive change
EMDR THERAPY
Short for Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing.
​EMDR is used to help reprocess traumatic events with the goal of reducing triggered responses flashbacks and more.
ACCEPTANCE AND COMITTMENT THERAPY (ACT)
I support clients in accepting thoughts and feelings that are hard to change, clarifying values, and taking actions that align with what matters most to them.
GOTTMAN COUPLES THERAPY
I work with couples to strengthen friendship, intimacy, and mutual respect, teaching practical skills to manage conflict, build connection, and create shared meaning.
