Growing up with Punjabi Sikh roots on the lands of the T’exelcemc First Nation has shaped my balanced approach to life and instilled in me a deep commitment to the Sikh principle of Seva.

My experience ranges from supporting unhoused populations to serving as an Advanced Care Paramedic. I hold degrees in Psychology, Paramedicine, and Criminology.

​Currently, I am pursuing a Master’s in Counselling Psychology in the Lower Mainland, focusing on culturally sensitive practices and offering healing through Meditative Movement, an integrative approach where the mind, body, and spirit are all part of the journey.

Hi, I’m Chey ✨

My approach is collaborative and relational, guided by your unique needs and lived experiences. I believe that you are the expert of your own life, and I work with this understanding. In session, I aim to be present and curious, walking alongside you as we build relationship, connect with emotions, and explore your story. My work is grounded in culturally responsive, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and attachment-oriented frameworks.

I offer virtual sessions to anyone residing in Alberta or British Columbia, and in-person sessions in Calgary.

Therapeutic Approaches

  • Internal Family Systems (IFS)
  • Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
  • Somatic therapy
  • Mindfulness
  • Emotion-focused therapy
  • Narrative therapy

Areas of Specialty

  • Identity exploration and belonging (gender, sexuality, race, ethnicity)
  • Life transitions
  • Grief and loss
  • Anxiety
  • Depression
  • Interpersonal, relationship, and family-of-origin dynamics
  • Relational and intergenerational trauma

Sliding Scale

I believe therapy should be accessible, inclusive, and affirming for everyone. I offer a sliding scale to help make counselling more financially accessible for people who identify as 2SLGBTQIA+ and/or racialized.

New Clients

If you’d like to connect and see if we’re a good fit, I offer a free 15-minute consultation call. If you don’t see a time that works for you, I’m happy to find an alternative. Please reach out to me at chey@canmorecounselling.com.

Please note: I am a student therapist working under the supervision of Dr. Melissa Jay, R. Psych (CAP# 4444). Insurance plans typically do not cover sessions with student therapists, so if you would like to use your benefits, please check with your provider before booking.

I am a proud LGBTQIA2S+ Cree, married to my wife of 10 years. We raised four children and a Kokom (Grandmother), to one granddaughter.

I am a practicum student in the Master of Psychology Counselling program at Yorkville University, under the supervision of Dr. Melissa Jay, Director of Canmore Counselling and a Registered Psychologist.

Through my workshops and practice, I invite individuals to explore inner balance, spiritual connection, and community resilience, offering tools for self-care and empowerment rooted in both tradition and mindfulness.

I offer a complimentary 30-minute telephone consultation to help you decide if my approach is right for you and to learn more. You are welcome to book a virtual appointment through our booking system.

Hey, hi, hello—I’m Stanley! I completed my Master of Counselling at Gonzaga University and am a Canadian Certified Counsellor and Registered Clinical Counsellor. I also provide counselling care to students at the Okanagan College Counselling Centre.

Whether you’re new to counselling or have prior experience, I strive to ensure the process centers around your unique hopes and needs. I believe that counselling fosters an authentic relationship with your whole self, enriching every aspect of your life that you value. My practice is trauma-informed, rooted in humanistic traditions, Relational-Cultural Theory (RCT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which together emphasize resilience, self-compassion, and psychological flexibility. These approaches encourage us to take meaningful actions toward the lives we desire. I see counselling as a collaborative process, walking alongside you on life’s many winding paths and forks, and I honour the privilege of joining you on this journey.

I have an affinity for working with individuals navigating life transitions, identity exploration, and those seeking support on their mental wellness journey. I currently manage wellness programs for teens and youth with anxiety, as well as behavioural and emotional regulation challenges. Additionally, I have a breadth of experience working with adults, international students, first responders, and individuals with PTSD, anxiety, depression, ADHD, OCD, and neurodiversity. I am a queer, person of colour and warmly welcome folks of all identities, social locations, and experiences to come as you are and as you please.

I engage in personal counselling as a practice of my own care and development. Outside of counselling, I love spending time with my partner, friends, and family, playing cards or board games, hiking, paddleboarding, and playing with—or, more accurately, being herded by—my corgi, Oatey.

Thank you for visiting our Canmore Counselling page. I hope you find the right options for your journey, and I would be honoured to walk alongside you.

Warmly, Stan (he/him)
