This isn’t your typical therapy group. It’s a space to pause, breathe, and break free from the cycle of anxiety, people-pleasing, and perfectionism. Over four weeks, we’ll explore the core habits that hold you back — and build the skills to set boundaries, embrace imperfection, and show up authentically.
What You’ll Gain:
How It Works:
Each week, we’ll introduce fresh concepts, supported by a mix of videos, modules, handouts, and group discussions. It’s all about learning together, sharing experiences, and empowering each other in a safe, supportive environment. Sessions are virtual, using the Jane App, so you can join from the comfort of your own space.
Program Launch: Fall 2025
Connect with us in a 15-minute call to discuss your goals and see if Walk and Talk Therapy is the right fit.
We’ll send you a brief questionnaire to get a sense of what’s bringing you to therapy and how we can support you.
Join the waitlist for our upcoming group: Calm & Empower: Navigating Anxiety, People-Pleasing, and Perfectionism. Once we have 4 participants enrolled we will advise on a start date.
While you wait for your spot, take a moment to reflect on your goals and what you hope to gain from group therapy. You’ll receive helpful resources and tips to get the most out of the experience once you're accepted.

Each group session is priced at $70, which is considerably lower than the rates suggested in the Recommended Fee Schedule by the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta. Our aim is to make these sessions accessible to everyone, and our reduced rate reflects this commitment.
Group therapy offers a supportive environment where participants can share experiences, learn from others facing similar challenges, and gain diverse perspectives. It fosters a sense of community and connection, which can enhance personal growth and resilience in navigating anxiety, people-pleasing, and perfectionism.
Our groups are designed to be welcoming and pressure-free. You can participate at your own comfort level, and many find that sharing becomes easier as trust builds within the group.
The total cost for the Calm & Empower: Navigating Anxiety, People-Pleasing, and Perfectionism Group is $280, which includes the four 1.5-hour sessions and all supporting materials.
