CALGARY CHILD AND FAMILY PSYCHOLOGIST
Whether it’s navigating parenting stress, behavioural challenges, or emotional struggles, I help families who feel stuck, unseen, and unsure where to turn.
Welcome — I’m Dr. Chelsea Durber, a parent and clinical psychologist with a PhD in School and Clinical Child Psychology.
I help children, teens, and parents tackle life’s challenges with confidence, using strategies grounded in science and delivered with warmth.

I offer in-person sessions in Calgary and virtual appointments across Alberta.
WHAT BRINGS FAMILIES TO THERAPYEvery family is unique, and so are the challenges they face.
Families often reach out when day-to-day life starts feeling harder than it should — when meltdowns feel unmanageable, school becomes a daily struggle, or parenting feels overwhelming.
Below are some of the common challenges that bring families to therapy.
-
WHEN BIG FEELINGS FEEL TOO BIG
anxiety, low mood, emotional outbursts
-
FRIENDSHIP OR SCHOOL CHALLENGES
bullying, peer stress, school avoidance
-
WORRIES ABOUT SELF-ESTEEM
low self-esteem and body image
-
DIFFICULTY ADJUSTING TO A HEALTH CONDITION
chronic illness, recent diagnoses
-
COMMUNICATION AND CONFLICT AT HOME
parent-child tension, emotional disconnect, navigating systems
-
WORRIES ABOUT FOOD AND EATING
mild eating-related concerns
WORKING TOGETHER
When it comes to raising kids, they say it takes a village — therapy can be a meaningful part of that support system.
I offer child and youth therapy to help young people navigate their big feelings, build resilience, and strengthen their emotional toolkit. Together, we will create a space where your child feels safe, understood, and capable.
I also support parents and caregivers with practical tools and insight, so you feel more equipped to respond to your child’s needs with clarity and confidence. Our work together is collaborative and focused on what matters most — nurturing connection and wellbeing across the whole family.
