ABOUT US
Empowering Your Mental Wellness Journey
Your brain is a muscle, just as you work out your body with a personal trainer, consider us your mental health trainer, helping you train your mind, your thoughts and your actions to be healthier and stronger. Engaging with Redstone Counselling and Consulting is about expressing yourself, finding yourself, being proud of yourself, learning to stop hiding and be courageous to use your voice. Every single person is valuable and that is an incredible part of our journey here at Redstone.
You are important and so once you’ve discovered that you’re important, what do you want to do with it. We will help you take those next steps into discovery and expression.
Redstone means Strength
Redstone is a remarkable mineral that can not only transmit electricity but can also act as its’ own power source to provide its’ own energy. That’s you. The bedrock of Redstone Counselling and Consulting is to empower people, to help people tap into their strength, to be strong and live strong. Everybody has a bit of strength in them, whether big or small, that’s why you have come this far. Being strong includes being vulnerable, it includes crying, it includes needing a hug, it includes starting from ground zero and it includes having some fears. Something I learned, that I want to share with you, “go in the strength that you have”, what you have is all you need right now.

NICOLE BORTSI MSW, BSW, RSW (#13298)
I am a second-generation Canadian with Ghanaian ancestry. This is important because I see myself as 100% Ghanaian and 100% Canadian. Culture is very important. It is what drives us and keeps humanity fluid. I practice cultural awareness, cultural sensitivity and I hold a cultural lens within my practice. I also
uphold an anti-racist anti-oppressive framework. I have been working in the area of mental health for 9 years. I am registered with the Alberta College of Social Workers.
I obtained my Bachelor of Social Work and Master of Social Work at The University of Calgary. I work within a trauma informed practice and I incorporate spiritual, emotional and leadership-based frameworks. Part of my work incorporates narrative therapy, exploring issues causing mental health breakdown, anxiety, feeling stuck, as well as career pivoting, settling into Canada as a new immigrant and pivoting into the career force as a new graduate.
About me personally, I was born and raised in Ontario, Canada. I moved toCalgary, Alberta 10 years ago. I love the mountains here, I love being outdoorsand I love meeting with people and building connections.
