Josie Furgeson

JOSIE FURGESON Registered Psychologist Calgary, AB Hello and welcome all! My name is Josie Furgeson and I am a Registered Psychologist. My practice is trauma-informed, neurodiverse affirming, attachment-led, and strengths-based and I work with children, adolescents, young adults, and parents. I specialize in and provide therapy for symptoms associated with ADHD, ASD with PDA profile, Anxiety, Depression, and conditions that frequently co-occur such as trauma, sensory processing difficulties, behaviour and emotion regulation challenges, self-harming behaviors, social struggles, and self-esteem issues. Interventions incorporated into my sessions are child/client-centered and tailored to the developmental age and needs of the individual. Through play therapy, art therapy, and talk therapy (relying on declarative language when necessary), we can process emotions together, learn strategies to cope with big feelings, engage in problem solving practices, and many other activities that will support the child/adolescents social and emotional functioning. I am exceedingly passionate about helping parents learn how to best support their child through a deeper understanding of the presenting challenge. This naturally leads to increased compassion and subsequent parent-child connection which is truly at the heart of healing. In addition to expressive therapies, my sessions are also guided by evidence-based modalities such as DBT, CBT, and mindfulness-based practices.
