Meet Aleeza
Hi I’m Aleeza (she/her) and I am the proud owner and clinic director of Aleeza S. Mohamed Psychology Services. I am a Registered Psychologist and have been licensed to provide psychology services across Alberta since 2011. My clinic currently offers individual therapy through both in-person and secure telehealth sessions.
I am originally from Calgary and earned my Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology from McGill University in Montreal. Based in Calgary, my practice focuses on Women's Mental Health and is informed by a combination of specialized training in Emotion-Focused, Narrative, Dialectical Behaviour, and EMDR therapies. My experience spans a variety of therapeutic settings, including a cancer wellness center, the U of C student wellness center, a sexual violence counselling center (CCASA), a public health care Dialectical Behaviour Therapy program, and private practice.
I truly enjoy supporting women through the journey of navigating this messy world, and feel privileged to help guide them towards creating the life they envision.

First Session
-
Once you book an initial intake, you will receive a link to complete a client demographic and intake form that should be completed before the session. These forms will be reviewed with your therapist, so please be sure to write down any questions you may have.
-
The first session gives you the opportunity you to meet with your therapist and start building a relationship. Research shows the relationship with your therapist is the strongest predictor of positive outcomes in therapy, so it’s important that you get a good sense of whether you feel safe and comfortable in the space. The first session also involves reviewing informed consent and completing an intake. Your therapist will gather both historical and current information to gain a thorough understanding of your challenges and goals for therapy. It’s also a chance for your therapist to start learning about all the things that make you uniquely you!
-
All that’s required is your presence! Whether you show up eager, excited, nervous, anxious or all of the above, your therapist will gently guide you through the process. Some clients find it helpful to bring a notebook, but this is not a requirement. You are welcome to arrive a few minutes early and help yourself to a refreshment in the waiting room.
