Kara-Leah Gonty

Registered Social Worker

RSW | CCC | MACP | B.Ed

I am a Registered Social Worker and a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. My passion for helping individuals and couples navigate their personal journeys has led me to further specialize in sex therapy.

I recently completed my Certificate in Sex Therapy at the University of Michigan and am currently working toward becoming an AASECT Certified Sex Therapist.

With a commitment to continuous learning and a deep dedication to my clients, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and inclusive space for meaningful growth and healing.

Thalita Amado

Counselling Therapist

MA | CCC

Hello! I’m Thalita Amado, a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology. Originally from Brazil, I’ve been living in Canada since 2015 (and while I’ve embraced a lot about life here, I still don’t like the winters).

As a counsellor, my focus is on creating a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered. I take a holistic approach to well-being, considering the connection between body, mind, and environment. My work is informed by EMDR, Trauma-Informed Care, Narrative Therapy, CBT, and Mindfulness. I’m also currently expanding my training in Play Therapy to better support clients of all ages in expressing themselves in meaningful ways (adults included!)

I work with children, teens, adults, and parents, and I offer sessions in both Brazilian Portuguese and English. Whether you’re facing a specific challenge or just feeling stuck, I’m here to support you and your kids toward a journey of healing and growth.

Kristi Eberhardt

Counselling Therapist - Intern

Available until August 2025

I’m so glad you’ve found yourself here. My name is Kristi Eberhardt, and I am a Counselling Psychology Master’s student completing my practicum in Conscientia Counselling.

I believe in self-advocacy and the power we each have to be our own greatest healers. My hope is to support you on your journey and meet you exactly where you are, leaning into the inner guidance you already hold.

I apply my background as a biologist and experience as a mental health volunteer in remote industrial environments to recognize the mind-body connection and integrate somatic and mindfulness practices in my work. My counseling style centers on the therapeutic relationship, using a client-centered lens and applying theory from emotion-focused and cognitive behavioral therapy.

The first step is often the hardest step, and I commend you for moving forward on your wellness journey!I look forward to the opportunity to walk with you along this path and provide support so you may embody the intrinsic value within you.

“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams, who looks inside awakes.”

Dayami Fernandes

Counselling Therapist

Owner and Clinical Director

Helping people achieve self-understanding and self-awareness is my passion. I believe that when we truly understand ourselves, we can make choices that align with our present needs and long-term goals.

We provide counselling and therapy in Calgary for individuals, couples, and families. Conscientia Counselling began in my heart long before it became a practice—ever since I earned my Master’s Degree, I knew I wanted to create a space where people feel seen, heard, and supported. Through my journey, I’ve had the privilege of learning from various therapeutic theories, working under professional supervision, and being part of a deeply supportive community of colleagues. These experiences have shaped and continue to influence the work I do today.

At Conscientia Counselling, we welcome individuals from all walks of life. Our practice is inclusive and affirming, offering a safe space for everyone, regardless of race, age, sexual orientation, or spiritual beliefs. If you’re seeking support, guidance, or a deeper connection with yourself or your loved ones, we are here to help. Let’s work together toward healing and growth.
