Meet Our Team of Therapists
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.

As a master’s student in Counselling Psychology, I am completing my practicum with Conscientia Counselling. I am passionate about supporting individuals on their unique paths toward growth, healing, and self-discovery.
My background is rooted in Disability Studies, and for over six years I have worked closely with neurodivergent children, developing a deep appreciation for the diverse ways people experience and navigate the world. This experience has strengthened my commitment to creating a safe, respectful, and empathetic space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported.
I take a strengths-based, collaborative approach, empowering clients to build on their existing abilities and discover strategies that fit their individual needs. My training and education have emphasized areas including self-regulation, trauma, addictions, neurodiversity, adolescents and families.
My approach to counselling draws from multiple modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Person-Centred, and Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS). My goal is to offer evidence-based, compassionate care tailored to each person’s unique needs and journey.
I am currently completing my undergraduate degree in Gender and Sexuality Studies with a minor in Sociology at the University of Calgary, where my focus has been on women’s trauma, mental well-being, and resilience. My academic background, combined with over four years of experience as a behavioral aide supporting children with diverse needs, has strengthened my commitment to creating inclusive and supportive environments. As the new Office Manager at Conscientia Counselling, I look forward to ensuring smooth operations and contributing to the welcoming, client-centered experience that defines our practice.

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 felt 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.
