Dr. Nicole Libin is a mindfulness educator, meditation coach, and author who helps people develop practical tools for seeing what their minds and bodies are actually doing and finding a less adversarial way to be with what they find. Many of us are in a pretty antagonistic relationship with ourselves, constantly second-guessing, pushing away discomfort, or trying to force ourselves to be different. Simply put, we can’t beat ourselves into becoming better people.

Mindfulness isn’t about getting rid of thoughts. It’s about seeing what’s already happening and relating to it in a more compassionate, curious, and helpful way.

Her work focuses on helping people notice the stories and “shoulds” layered on top of their experience, stay with what’s there, and respond more intentionally, rather than reacting automatically.

With a Ph.D. in Religious Studies, Nicole brings deep scholarly grounding in contemplative traditions from across cultures. She teaches from a secular foundation while remaining fluent in the spiritual and religious frameworks people carry with them, drawing on those perspectives when it serves the work.

She also teaches at Mount Royal University and is the author of four books on mindfulness, including Sticky Brains, a mindfulness and brain science picture book for children.

For over 20 years, I have had the immense privilege of stepping into the stories and lives of my clients - listening deeply, offering support, building skills, and helping people cultivate greater meaning and connection.

My therapeutic style is warm, genuine, down-to-earth, and compassionate. I strive to create a space where you feel truly heard and understood, while also offering evidence- based, practical, and realistic guidance. It is important to me that our sessions are centered on your goals, and that we collaboratively develop supportive, achievable strategies for meaningful change.

Together, we’ll explore the patterns and beliefs that may be keeping you stuck and develop tools to help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected.

I am especially passionate about supporting women through perimenopause and the menopause transition.

I offer both brief, focused support to help shift your experience of hot flashes and night sweats; as well as longer-term therapy to address anxiety, depression, anger, identity shifts, relationship changes, and the complex demands of caregiving during this season of life.

I am a Registered Social Worker in the Province of Alberta and am authorized to provide virtual therapy services in Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, Nunavut, and Yukon. I am also a Certified Menopause Mental Health Practitioner.

I draw from a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches and thoughtfully tailor my work to each client’s goals and needs.

My training includes:  Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)  Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)  Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)  Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy (EFIT)  Gottman Method (Couples Counselling)  Solution-Focused Therapy  Motivational Interviewing

I offer daytime, weekday virtual therapy appointments.

I would be honored to support you as you navigate this chapter of your life, and I hope we connect soon.
