Attachment-based Therapists in Edmonton, AB

Hi! I'm Christopher, an intern psychologist at Strathearn Psychology. I work with teens, adults, couples and families dealing with a variety of concerns. I value flexibility, accountability and fun. I strive to meet you - wherever you are in life's journey, whether you wish to dive deep and wade through the darkness or if you just want a tune up and need some tools. Additionally, I aim to hold you accountable to your goals, hopes, and dreams in our work together. Lastly, I believe the journey is about progress over perfection, which can be a lot more fun when we are able to exhale and share a few laughs along the way.

Suffering, overwhelm & discomfort may be all encompassing for you right now, or perhaps you are managing in your life & would like to explore a deeper meaning and purpose. Often when we are experiencing hardship or crisis moments, they can be the impetus for change. You may have noticed a pattern in the types of relationships you have, whether they are partners, friends, colleagues, superiors or family members. You wonder how you could feel good in relationships & how to attract healthier people into your life. Or a tune up may be preferred as you wish to maintain your progress and growth with additional tools.

I offer Christian Counselling that is very unique by combining my knowledge & experience as a therapist in the public sector for 18 years as well as the 5 years of experience in Christian Inner Healing & Counselling for several organizations. I support your healing journey by creating a space and pointed experience to reach those areas that are not only easy to find but also highlight those areas that are hiding or tucked away. I focus on the body, mind, heart, and spirit healing experience that creates wholeness in a way some have never experienced through Christian Prayer Counselling while utilizing other therapeutic modalities

Have you been struggling with feeling like something’s not quite right? In your relationships, your life - or within yourself? You may feel like you’re ‘not good enough’. Maybe something happened with your partner or you had a difficult childhood that is causing you pain and upset. Present-day circumstances, and events from your past, can both be contributing to how you’re feeling right now. I’m here to tell you that I specialize in helping people to heal within themselves, their relationships and to create new pathways in their body, mind and spirit to feel whole, precious and well again, or perhaps for the first time.

I am a registered psychologist with a master’s degree in counselling and over 15 years of experience working in mental health. Previously, I worked as an occupational therapist and certified yoga instructor. My diversified training and background allows me to bring a holistic approach to the therapeutic process. My primary therapeutic modalities include Psychodynamic and Attachment based therapy, however, when required I will adapt the way I work with clients based on their individual needs. As well as working with individuals, families and groups, I have a special interest in working with couples.

Life can be overwhelming at times, leading to feelings of disconnection and despair. Through connection, I believe healing occurs, as you are able to feel truly seen, heard and understood by another person. I strive to create a safe, trusting relationship where you feel comfortable to explore your inner world and work through the thoughts, beliefs, patterns and unhealed wounds that may be affecting you. As the expert of your experiences, you bring inherent knowledge of what is needed for you to grow and heal. Your wisdom and my knowledge of therapy allow us to work collaboratively to achieve your goals.

I am a Registered Psychologist and Certified EFT Therapist who provides services from an attachment based approach. I offer professional counselling service that recognizes and appreciates each individual’s unique history, personality and circumstances. I pay close attention to what is said, in addition to what is left unsaid, to uncover cycles within yourself and between others as well as patterns of core beliefs. Overall, I believe our therapeutic connection is integral in your personal growth, emotional expression and healing.

I believe that each client is the expert in their own life, which is why I like to focus on each client’s inner strengths to collaboratively create meaningful change.

Life can present some challenges that leave it difficult for us to manage or thrive in our daily lives. Counselling can help navigate through these struggles and provide insight and understanding.

I am a registered provisional psychologist in Alberta. As a therapist who uses an attachment-based lens, I believe hurt is often rooted in old wounds caused through relationships across the lifespan. As such, I also believe healing happens through relationships and we will work together to meet your goals and help you move forward on a path of healing. I take a humanistic and strengths-based approach in which I believe you have inherent value simply by being human. All individuals regardless of where they are at in their journeys or what struggles they experience have strengths that can be built on to move towards an authentic life.

You struggle to feel like you're good enough. No matter how hard you try it feels like you don't measure up and you're always falling short. It's hard to find a space where you can truly belong and be yourself. Sometimes you feel overwhelmed by your life and relationships. Other times you feel completely hopeless. You are ready to let go of the belief that you were never good enough and begin to feel comfortable being yourself. Therapy can be a space where you can show up just as you are and learn to love yourself. It's your time to take off the masks, let go of the pressure, and begin to connect with your true self.

I specialize in Women's Mental Health and love working with moms. Stress and anxiety are at an all time high and moms are telling me they're exhausted and overwhelmed with the mental load.

They're coping with a multitude of losses and are dealing with past or present traumas which impact all relationship dynamics but particularly those with their partner and kids. Reach out if you can relate and we'll work together to help make life more manageable right now.

You are the expert in your own life and I believe that a positive and supportive therapeutic relationship can help create the change you are looking for. When working with you, I bring my authentic and fully-engaged self to help you feel heard, valued, and respected. It is an immense privilege to enter the stories of other people’s lives and I feel deeply honored to do so. It is important for me to tailor treatment and interventions specific to each of your unique and individual needs, and so wholehearted listening and understanding to each unique story, experience, and situation is vital.
