Hello and Welcome from Jodie Larson-Pendock, founder of Thrive Counselling and Wellness and a Registered Social Worker, providing a variety of counselling services, tailored to you. I look forward to hearing from you!
My specialized therapeutic approach revolves around addressing the emotional, psychological, interpersonal, and practical needs during the perinatal period, encompassing both pregnancy and postpartum experiences.
Hello and Welcome! I’m Jodie, a registered social worker and therapist with a strong dedication to supporting your mental and emotional wellbeing. My expertise stems from a Master’s Degree in Clinical Social Work, complemented by diverse experiences and specialized trainings acquired throughout a decade-long career. My professional journey has taken me through various roles within Alberta Health Services, Government of Alberta, Non-Profit Organizations, the University of Calgary, educational settings, and private practice.
As a certified perinatal mental health specialist (PMH-C), I channel my passion into guiding moms, parents, and caregivers through the complex journey of parenthood. My specialized therapeutic approach revolves around addressing the emotional, psychological, interpersonal, and practical needs during the perinatal period, encompassing both pregnancy and postpartum experiences.
I believe in fostering a compassionate and collaborative environment where we explore your thoughts and emotions together. My focus is on empowering you to uncover strengths, build effective coping strategies, and facilitate meaningful changes in your life.
Beyond the therapy room, I’m a fellow parent navigating the whirlwind of toddlerhood with my 4 and 2-year-old kids! I enjoy reading thriller books, listening to crime podcasts, drinking fancy coffees, and ordering way too many desserts off skip the dishes.
