About Slade counselling

Welcome to Slade Counselling!

Slade Counselling is a Calgary-based mental health practice providing compassionate, practical, and evidence-informed counselling services for individuals, couples, families, children, and teens.


Founded by Haley Lafreniere (Slade), Slade Counselling has grown into a team of experienced mental health professionals with diverse backgrounds in social work, psychology, education, trauma therapy, and psychoeducational assessments.


Our goal is to create a counselling environment where clients feel comfortable, understood, and supported while working toward meaningful change. We recognize that every person enters therapy with different experiences, concerns, and goals. Our therapists take a personalized approach and work collaboratively with each client to determine what support may be most helpful.


We offer in-person counselling in Calgary, secure virtual counselling across Alberta, and select virtual services for clients in Saskatchewan.

Education and Experience

The Slade Counselling team brings together experience in social work, psychology, education, mental health, health care, trauma treatment, family support, and psychoeducational assessment.


Our clinicians hold professional credentials that include Master of Social Work, Registered Social Worker, Provisional Psychologist, Bachelor of Social Work, and Bachelor of Psychology, along with specialized training in:


  • Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) 
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) 
  • Internal Family Systems (IFS) 
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) 
  • Hypnosis Therapy 
  • Animal Assisted Therapy
  • Trauma-informed and strengths-based counselling 
  • Narrative and solution-focused therapies 
  • Mindfulness and emotional-regulation strategies 
  • Psychoeducational assessments 


As a team, we support children, teenagers, adults, couples, and families with concerns such as anxiety, trauma, depression, ADHD, autism, dissociation, relationship challenges, stress, burnout, self-esteem, learning difficulties, and major life transitions.


We believe counselling should be collaborative, personalized, and non-judgmental. Our clinicians adapt their approach to each client’s needs, goals, experiences, and preferred pace, creating a supportive space where you can come as you are.

Continued Education and Training

Haley is currently completing Canine Therapy training with her golden retriever, Winston. Winston is available by request if you are interested in Animal Assisted Therapy and participating in his training!


Upcoming Clinical Trainings:

  • Therapy Dog certification through Companion Paws


Past Clinical Trainings:

  • 2024-2026 - Dog Therapy Training through ImPAWSible Possible and Companion Paws
  • 2023 - 100-Hour Clinical Hypnosis and Strategic Psychotherapy with Dr. Yapko
  • 2022 - Basic Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART)



Continued Education and Training

Danielle is currently a PsyD doctoral candidate with California Southern University. Her research will examine the supportive practices available to police officers within the Calgary Police Service and how to better support Calgary’s law enforcement officers. This research comes from an organizational and literary gap in the unique needs of police officers to support their mental health, as well as the mental health stigma that is present within police organizations.  



Professional Licensing

All of our therapists are registered with their professional college associations.
