Harmony Psychology
Psychologist, MEd, RPsych
Verified
If your
child
is struggling in school, and you would like a better understanding of their intellectual, academic or behavioural strengths/areas of need, a psychoeducational assessment can help to provide greater insight into how they learn best, and provide recommendations for home and school to further develop specific skills.
With a background as an elementary school teacher, school counsellor, and school psychologist, I have a range of experiences and enjoy working with school-aged
children
and adolescents, between the ages of 6-16. I provide counselling to help with learning difficulties, anxiety, stress, worry, school avoidance, peer relationships, grief and loss, and dealing with change. I believe it really does "take a village" of adults at home, community and school to support the healthy growth and development of a
child
, and reaching out for support can be part of that process.
Jane Wiley
Psychologist, MEd, CHT
Verified
I work with
children
, teens, adults and couples facing life transitions, coping problems or mental health concerns. Depression and anxiety is very common, but I also work with loss, health concerns and family problems.Therapy is about change, but it is not about changing who we are. The person we are meant to be has been here all along. Sometimes we need help to reconnect. I work with my clients to explore patterns of behavior and thought that can keep us in small and narrow places, and to reconnect to our wiser, balanced and more joyful self.

My past specialised work in the area of Adoption allows me to support and understand all members of the adoption triad (birth parents,
children
, adoptive parents).
“We are relational beings" and we discover ourselves in our relationship to others. When these relationships don’t feel “secure”, we may feel alone or in pain, causing personal struggles to be more difficult. My experience in counselling those who face marital, family, and parenting struggles, offers ways to overcome the barriers that get in the way of reaching out to those you love. I offer my authenticity, a supportive place to reflect and discover new ways of viewing yourself to create positive change.

Connections Psychological Services
Psychologist, RPsych
Verified
We are a progressive psychological practice geared towards
children
and families.
There are times when we feel like we are looking for something. Something is missing in ourselves; in our lives. We feel alone in our problems. We feel like we're not enough. We want to show who we really are but we're afraid. Finding a way through starts with being curious about ourselves; about others; about life. We can feel fully present in our lives when we tune in to our own attachment needs and those of the people we love. Two Psychologists, Brea Malacad and Paul Berg, have created this new private practice in Edmonton emphasizing this need for connection and attachment.

The Grief and Trauma Healing Centre Inc.
Verified
We serve
children
, teens, adults, couples, and families both in-person and online across Alberta.
Grief is a deeply painful, lonely, and isolating experience. When someone we care about dies, our relationship ends in divorce, or we experience any of the other 40 forms of loss, we often feel unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with our emotions. The wonderful news is, grief does not have to be a life sentence of suffering. There are actionable tools that can help you to move beyond the pain caused by a loss in your life. Whether you are grieving due to a recent loss or a loss from long ago, it is never too soon or too late to heal your heart.
Stephanie Yang
Registered Provisional Psychologist, MC
Verified
I am experienced supporting
children
experiencing family conflict, anxiety, trauma, and emotional regulation issues; and adults experiencing addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, conflict, and domestic violence.
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.
