To eclipse is to surpass, surmount, and transcend
How did Eclipse come to be?
Calgary Psychologist, Laura Coulombe, is the founder of Eclipse Psychology. From early on, she dreamed of creating a safe, welcoming space for healing that truly reflected her values. Through her work in a variety of agencies and practices, she discovered what best supports both clients and therapists, and she has woven these lessons into the foundation of Eclipse.
Laura’s journey has also been supported by her husband, Chad, who shares this vision. With his CPA background and a lifelong dream of building something meaningful, Chad brings structure and insight that complement Laura’s clinical experience. His entrepreneurial spirit and financial expertise have helped ground Eclipse in stability and care.
Both Laura and Chad were drawn to the mountains and eventually moved to Calgary together to be closer to them. Time in nature continues to be a grounding and revitalizing force in their lives. Together, they have blended heart and practicality to grow Eclipse thoughtfully and sustainably, always rooted in integrity.
Moving from the darkness towards the light
An eclipse signifies the event where the moon moves into the Earth's shadow, illuminating it from darkness. That is the goal here; to shine light onto the darkest aspects of self which allows for deeper healing. Through the understanding of the root of your current symptoms, we will help you overcome whatever is getting in the way of living your best, and healthiest life. Whether that might be childhood experiences (such as abuse, neglect, or bullying) or negative beliefs about self (such as not good enough or not worthy), or painful and harmful relationships, we want to help you understand the feelings and mechanisms underneath your surface level symptoms such as anxiety, depression, shame, fear, etc., to allow you space for processing and healing, to eventually surmount and transcend your barriers and hurdles.
