About Devine Calanog
(she/her)

Mission & Approach

I believe connection is the gateway to understanding ourselves, our relationships, and our past. Feelings of stuckness, uncertainty, or being uninspired can come up when obstacles feel overwhelming, leaving us unsure of where to turn or how to move forward.

 

I offer a nurturing, safe, and honest environment to explore the challenges in your life. We’ll work together to identify patterns and gain insight and clarity. I aim to build a genuine connection with you and create an atmosphere where you feel seen. I will meet you with warmth, curiosity, and empathy.

 

As a Filipino immigrant and woman of colour, I bring a unique perspective to our work, grounded in cultural sensitivity and person-centred, trauma-informed care. I integrate approaches like Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to foster self-awareness, emotional resilience, and self-agency, using these tools to meet you where you are. I also draw on somatic techniques to help deepen your internal awareness.

 

I will be beside you as you come to know yourself more fully and take meaningful steps toward building the relationships you desire, with yourself and with others, and the life you envision.
