The Story Behind Sana Psychological

Founded by Paige Abbott, Registered Psychologist, in 2019

Have you ever felt like something just clicked when you finally found the right fit? Well, that’s exactly how Sana Psychological came to be. After 10 years of working in the field of psychology, Paige Abbott knew she wanted to create a space that felt real—one where people could receive the best psychological services in Calgary in an environment that truly resonated with them.

At first, the practice was called Holistic Psychology YYC, but as Paige spent more time in the field, it became clear that the name and structure of the business needed to evolve. Why? Because it was important to make sure that the business reflected our core values: authenticity and congruence. These aren’t just buzzwords to us—they’re at the heart of everything we do.

Why "Sana"?

Health, Soundness, and Wholeness

The word "Sana" comes from Latin, and it means health, sanity, and soundness. Doesn’t it just fit? This word perfectly aligns with our mission to help people achieve mental clarity, emotional well-being, and healthier relationships.

At Sana Psychological, we’re committed to supporting you in every way we can—whether it’s through mental health counselling, addiction recovery, trauma counselling Calgary, or anxiety and depression counselling. We believe in offering psychological services that get to the heart of your concerns and help you lead a more fulfilling life.

The Moment of Change: From "Me to We"

Expanding to Better Serve You

In 2022, Paige found herself feeling isolated and a bit stagnant. She had a passion for helping people, but it felt like something was missing. She realized that in order to serve the community more effectively, it was time to expand the practice.

Here’s a question: Have you ever felt like you’re doing great work, but you know you could do more? That was Paige’s “aha” moment.

And so, the shift from "Me to We" began. Sana Psychological expanded to include a team of amazing clinicians, each bringing their own unique specialties, backgrounds, and approaches to therapy. We are now able to support even more individuals, couples, and families through a range of mental health and addiction challenges.
