Shane Lynch Psychology Claimed

Shane Lynch Psychology in Calgary, Alberta

At Shane Lynch Psychology, we offer comprehensive mental health services for individuals, including youth (ages 14+), adults, and couples.

About Me:

With extensive experience in various settings, I have worked with youth, adults, and families through organizations such as Distress Centre Calgary, Beacon Community Services (Victoria, BC), Catholic Family Service, post-secondary mental health clinics, and the South Calgary Primary Care Network, as well as my private practice.

In addition to individual and group therapy, I have developed and facilitated workshops on topics such as personality types, anxiety, and self-compassion. In 2014, I presented my research on self-compassion at the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association’s National Conference.

From 2015 to 2018, I created and led programming aimed at young fathers, focusing on primary prevention strategies for intimate partner violence. Additionally, from 2019 to 2021, I collaborated as part of an interdisciplinary team within the South Calgary Primary Care Network.

I have transitioned from over seven years of part-time private practice to full-time, offering both in-person and virtual therapy sessions.

How I Work:

Sustainable change in therapy relies on two key factors: the therapeutic relationship and the type of therapy we engage in. My approach incorporates various therapeutic modalities, including Psychodynamic Therapy, Interpersonal Process Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy. This flexibility allows us to tailor our work to your unique needs, ensuring a personalized experience.

Awareness of our patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving is crucial for lasting change. Therefore, I provide practical strategies, such as mindfulness techniques, to help you apply what we discuss in therapy to your daily life, fostering improvements at home and work.
