Calgary Child & Family Psychologist

Hello, I’m Dr. Chelsea Durber

PSYCHOLOGIST, SHE/HER
MY APPROACH

As a Child Psychologist and Mother, I Bring a Deep Understanding to the Challenges Families Face.

I help children and teens struggling with challenges, such as anxiety, depression, or body image concerns, and their parents. I use and personalize evidence-based strategies to fit your family’s needs, helping you build emotional wellbeing, resilience, and stronger connections - laying the cornerstones for a more balanced and happy life together.

Outside the office, I love spending time with my husband and our young son - they keep me laughing and on my toes! I enjoy jogging, getting lost in a good book (from universe-building fantasies to twisty mysteries), and spending time with animals. I’m also an enthusiastic home cook… though my baking skills could use a little work!
