About

Cristofer Chan, MC He/Him/His

Registered Psychologist

Born and raised in Calgary, I am a cat person with an enthusiasm for travel! I am passionate about helping individuals live their lives in the best way they can by helping to lower their distress, heal from the past, and piece together the life they want for themselves as best as possible.  

Are emotions running your life? Do you feel defined by your past experiences, or have trauma that gets in the way of living your best life? If you want to change thinking patterns, behaviours, or emotional experiences, or you want to work on deep-rooted problems, I would love to help you on your journey! In service of this, I am able to provide both in-person and virtual therapy to adult individuals.

Having been licensed to practice since April 2022, I provide therapy using an empathy and validation style balanced with a directive approach.

I provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), CBT with a DBT-informed lens, EMDR, schema processing, and Prolonged Exposure (PE) for trauma/PTSD. I’m also a great fit for anyone who wants to work with a Queer person of colour (POC) who uses a trauma-informed approach.
