Vince Urquhart, Registered Psychotherapist, smiling in a blue blazer

I'm a psychotherapist, spiritual and pastoral counsellor, career changer, entrepreneur, husband and father.

I understand the emotional and physical turmoil of anxiety, pain and suffering both as a therapist and through my own personal experiences. I have done my share of self-reflection and made some major life changes. Now I help others navigate the stresses of life.

I am the owner and founder of I Care Counselling, based in Calgary, Alberta, and I am passionate about each client moving toward wholeness, health and healing. I am a licensed therapist in the areas of marriage, pre-marriage, anxiety, depression, grief and life transitions.

I've experienced life with so much stress that I was close to losing it all, and I have lost much. There were days that I wondered if there was any hope and looked for the strength to keep going. I wished I had someone to guide me through that process — someone who knew what I was feeling. That helplessness created a desire in me to be there for others in need.

I practice a faith-based spiritual approach to counselling, integrating my faith with the science of psychology. Ask me more about what that means — it always starts with your beliefs, your pace and your goals, never mine.
