Compassionate Therapy for Adults in Alberta
A calm space for adults navigating trauma, burnout, and overwhelm with care rooted in mindful self-compassion.
You may be functioning on the outside while carrying a constant sense of tension, disconnection, or emotional fatigue inside. Trauma and long-term stress often show up quietly through numbness, irritability, or feeling far from yourself.
​​​
We focus on helping your nervous system settle, rebuilding trust with your inner experience, and creating space to feel more present and supported again.
Healing After Trauma
Trauma can keep your system locked in motion, making you feel like you are constantly falling forward in life. Your body may stay on alert, bracing for what comes next. Over time, this can make it hard to feel settled, present, or connected to yourself.
​
We work gently with your nervous system, using mindful self-compassion to help you feel safer in your body, less overwhelmed, and more able to meet your life with steadiness and care.

Trauma-Informed Care
If you are not sure which of these fits, that is okay. You do not need the perfect reason to reach out. Sessions are paced and collaborative, with care given to both emotional experience and what is happening in your body.
About Open Sky Mental Health
Open Sky Mental Health is a place to slow down and tend to what has been weighing on you. Many people who come here are capable, thoughtful adults who manage a great deal of responsibility, yet feel increasingly worn down, scattered, or disconnected. Over time, that way of living can become exhausting, even when things look fine from the outside.

Leanne Floden
I’m Leanne Floden, Registered Psychologist. I bring decades of experience working with people in both organizational and therapeutic settings. Before becoming a therapist, I spent many years working in senior organizational and human resources roles. That experience deeply shapes my work. I understand the pressures of high responsibility, performance expectations, and the quiet toll they can take on your nervous system and sense of self.
​
My approach to therapy is calm, collaborative, and grounded in compassion. I draw from mindful self-compassion, somatic and contemplative psychotherapy, cognitive and acceptance-based approaches, always pacing the work in a way that feels manageable and respectful. ​
Therapy is not about fixing you. It is about creating space to listen more closely, make sense of your experience, and move toward greater steadiness and connection over time.
