About Carleen

Their own words
###Positive Psychology Practitioner and Coach #####As a Mental Health & Wellness Coach, I support youth (13+), adults, couples, families, an neurodivergent individuals who are looking for practical support, greater self-understanding, and meaningful growth. Whether you are navigating a life transition, feeling stuck, struggling with self-doubt, experiencing overwhelm, or wanting to improve your relationships and overall well-being, I provide a compassionate and supportive space to help you move forward with confidence. I have a diverse educational background that encompasses both western and eastern philosophies, including a Master of Science in Applied Positive Psychology Coaching Psychology (MAPPCP), ADHD Specialist, Autism Specialist, Highly Sensitive Specialist, life and health coaching certifications, Grief Recovery Method Specialist, HeartMath practitioner, shamanic studies, and Reiki Master. Some main areas where I can provide coaching support includes (but not limited to): - ADHD and neurodivergent support - Autism support - Dyslexia support - Life transitions - Stress and overwhelm - Grief and loss - Emotional regulation - Relationship and communication challenges - Self-esteem and confidence - Personal growth and self-discovery - Parenting support - Career and life direction - Identity exploration - Healthy lifestyle and wellness goals - Building resilience and coping skills ####Coaching Work with me in a supportive, strengths-based coaching space designed to help you reconnect with your sense of meaning, direction, and self-understanding. My approach blends Positive Psychology, coaching psychology, and a biopsychosocial-spiritual lens to help you better understand yourself—not just your challenges. These sessions are especially helpful if you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from your sense of purpose. Together, you will explore what matters most to you, build emotional awareness, and strengthen confidence, resilience, and self-trust. I specialize in supporting neurodivergent individuals (including ADHD, dyslexia, autism profiles, and highly sensitive people), as well as those navigating life transitions, identity shifts, and relationship challenges. ####Health Coaching Sessions to Further Support Well-being. I am also a licensed health coach within the province of Alberta who is dedicated to support you in developing and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. We accomplish this by creating behaviour change strategies that enable you to reach your personal wellness goals. Some of the clients that I have experience supporting are neurodivergent (ADHD, Autistic, Dyslexic, HSP), those with CSID, Celiac Disease, Gastric Dyspepsia, inflammation issues, and liver disease. In addition, I regularly coach those wanting to lose weight, reduce stress, and improve overall well-being. ####Parent Coaching Parenting can feel overwhelming—especially when your child thinks, feels, or processes the world differently than expected. I offer supportive, practical coaching to help parents feel more confident, grounded, and connected in their parenting journey. These sessions focus on understanding behaviour through a neurodiversity-affirming lens, improving communication, reducing conflict and stress at home, and strengthening emotional regulation—for both parent and child. Parents are supported to move away from self-doubt and reactivity, and toward clarity, confidence, and more ease in daily family life. ####Speaking Engagements (Workshops & Presentations) I offer engaging and insightful talks, workshops, and presentations focused on Positive Psychology, neurodiversity, meaning-making, and personal growth. My sessions are designed to be accessible, reflective, and practical—helping audiences deepen their understanding of themselves and others while learning tools to support wellbeing, connection, and emotional resilience. Topics may include neurodiversity and identity, meaning and mattering, self-esteem and confidence building, emotional awareness, and navigating life transitions with greater clarity and compassion. Perfect for organizations, schools, professional groups, and community events looking to support mental wellness and human connection. ####Mentoring Neurodivergent Families This service supports families navigating neurodivergence with compassion, understanding, and practical guidance. I work with parents, caregivers, and families to better understand neurodivergent experiences (including ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and sensory sensitivity) and how they show up in daily life, relationships, and communication. Sessions focus on strengthening connection, reducing overwhelm at home, and building supportive strategies that honour each family member’s unique way of thinking, feeling, and processing the world. I bring a strengths-based, non-pathologizing approach that helps families shift from “fixing” to understanding, acceptance, and collaboration—so both parents and children can thrive.
