Welcome to Exhale Psychology Group, a boutique psychology clinic in Calgary, Alberta.
We are a team of Calgary psychologists and therapists who value authenticity, connection, and acceptance. Our mission is to help you live a meaningful and fulfilling life, even through the difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences that come with being human.
At Exhale Psychology Group, we offer compassionate, evidence-based therapy for individuals, couples, children, and families. Our clinicians integrate approaches such as trauma-informed therapy, EMDR, CBT, and mindfulness-based methods to support you in healing, growth, and lasting change.
We’re also deeply passionate about our local community. In addition to therapy, we provide private practice mentorship and consultation for helping professionals, and we host community events and workshops for Calgary-area therapists to connect and collaborate.
Take a deep breath — you’re in the right place.
We believe therapy is for everyone. You don’t need a reason to come — and you don’t need to stay forever. At Exhale, we work every day to normalize therapy and reduce the stigma around mental health.
Together, we’ll explore the messy, complex parts of life — the parts that come with simply being human. Because being human is hard. You don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to help you navigate it all, one step at a time.

OUR APPROACH TO THERAPY
We don’t want you to just survive— we want you to thrive.
At Exhale Psychology Group, we share a fundamental philosophy about why humans suffer and what helps them change. We believe pain is an inevitable part of being human. Rather than supporting lifelong patterns of avoiding discomfort, we help you face it, learn from it, and grow through it — all within a safe, supportive, and grounded therapeutic relationship.
In the therapy room, we show up as our authentic selves. We’ll cry with you, laugh with you, and yes, swear with you (if that’s your vibe). We build genuine connections, challenge you with compassion, and always keep it real.
Our goal is for you to feel the shift — to notice change not only in how you think, but in how you move through the world. When you leave our office, we want you to walk out feeling even a small difference.
If you’re in Calgary or the surrounding area, we’d love to support you in starting or continuing your therapy journey with us.

Hi, I’m Alina…
I opened Exhale Psychology Group because I wanted to do therapy differently. I envisioned a space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported—not just as a client, but as a whole person. At Exhale, we prioritize authenticity, connection, and real human experience. Therapy shouldn’t feel clinical or distant; it should feel safe, supportive, and sometimes even a little fun.
As a Registered Psychologist with over 15 years of experience across non-profits, primary health care, and private practice, I’ve learned how to meet people where they are—no matter how heavy their challenges. I pride myself on being authentic, compassionate, and genuinely invested in my clients’ growth.
Outside of work, you can usually find me practicing yoga or group fitness, spending time in nature, connecting with friends and family, watching reality TV, shopping at Homesense, or traveling. I also have a preschooler at home who keeps me on my toes!
