Cognitive Processing (CPT) Therapists in Edmonton, AB

My primary clinical focus is posttraumatic stress. I have approximately 11 years' experience providing evidence-based cognitive-behavioural treatments (e.g., PE, CPT) to Veterans, serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces, police, firefighters, EMS professionals, and others struggling to cope with traumatic events like assaults or accidents. I also work extensively with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and a range of anxiety problems such as panic, generalized anxiety & worry, social anxiety, and specific phobias. Other problems I treat include insomnia, depression, and body-focussed repetitive behaviours (e.g., trichotillomania).

Are you someone who's been struggling and not feeling quite like themselves? Would you like to be motivated to engage in activities again and to improve your overall mood? Perhaps there's an event that's happened maybe recently or even decades ago that you just can't let go of and it's affecting you in your day-to-day life. Sometimes unexpecting things happen that make it hard to manage our emotions.

I am a Registered Psychologist with 10 years of training in the mental health field. I also have a background in Occupational Therapy. I specialize in counselling adolescents and adults, and work with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma and interpersonal issues. I am also trained in administering psychoeducational assessments. Such assessments can identify learning challenges in students of all ages, from young children to adults.

I am a doctoral level Registered Psychologist with 10 years of counselling and assessment experience and have had the opportunity to work with individuals and couples from diverse backgrounds. My experience is derived from a number of sources including: (a) working as a teacher and sessional instructor; (b) completing internships at the university counselling center; (c) working in rehabilitation centres; and (d) training and experience using Prolonged Exposure, aiding me in working with single incident and cumulative trauma.

Dr. Janet Kaldas works with individual adults or teenagers, and with couples, and has experience with depression, anxiety, disordered eating, addictions, abuse/neglect, suicidality/self-harm, personality and relational issues. Her masters and doctoral research focused on perfectionism - if you feel a pressure to be or seem perfect and this adds another layer to your struggles, let's navigate this together.

If you are struggling with anxiety, post-traumatic experiences, occupational stress injuries or stress I believe that I can help you develop skills and techniques to help overcome the difficult times. Everyone has the ability to learn and overcome challenges but sometimes we need some help create a plan to see the changes we want in our lives. If your willing to work with me then I promise to do my best to help you out or find someone more suited to help you. As a current member of the Canadian Armed Forces I believe that I can bring a unique perspective for other members seeking help for mental health.

You want a LIFE more worth LIVING! Lets create that together! At all times, we are always doing the best we can with what we have: the knowledge, skills, experience and the information we posses in the moment. But, we often judge our "past" selves (and others in our past) from where we are at "today". This can create problems. With guidance, we can learn how our own (and others) past decisions, actions and experiences can create problems for us today. With understanding, we can learn to live more effectively! I invite you to join me for this journey!!

Frustrated that anxiety is interfering with your work, relationships, and/or happiness? Has anxiety impacted your self-esteem and left you feeling "not good enough"? Whether due to situational stress, traumatic events, or ongoing mental health conditions, I help clients identify unhelpful patterns of thinking/behavior and offer strategies to address anxiety, panic, OCD, PTSD, & perfectionism. I use solution-focused, evidence based treatments (CBT, PE, CPT, EMDR, ERP) to help clients overcome symptoms like overthinking, excessive worry, performance anxiety, panic attacks, procrastination, and avoidance.

Welcome. Are you an adult, a couple, or an older/adult family who has experienced difficulties and are looking to make change in your life? You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, difficult relationships, complex PTSD, personality (attachment) disorder, ADHD, hoarding, grief/loss. Together we will address these concerns so you can live a better and more balanced life. I offer an integrative approach drawing from a variety of modalities: CBT, DBT, EMDR, EFT, Jungian-oriented psychology, mindfulness, and positive psychology. My approach to therapy is collaborative and strengths-based.

You are not alone. At REACH we build real connections with real people walking through our door. Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing-especially the humor part-and combined together, they create a healing force! We know that sometimes, life is just hard. It can come out of nowhere, but know that counselling helps during the tough times. It helps us endure when we don’t think we can, helps us recover from what we’ve survived, teaches us how to gain insight about who we are and find our way back to "our normal" when we feel lost and alone. We are here for you.

If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, self-esteem/confidence, sexual orientation, gender or body dysmorphia, PTSD, work or school/life balance, and/or addictions, counselling can help change unhelpful patterns and lead to better mental health and well-being. I work with clients to manage stress and achieve balance. I also work with clients to help with issues such as confidence, coping skills, and emotional regulation.

Hi, I'm Hayley, and I love hearing your story...it's even part of my name! Many people believe therapy to be a one sided conversation with minimal opportunity to interact or experience one another as real people. My clients appreciate my ability to create a safe and relaxed environment, with a healthy dose of humour. I aim to give my authentic self to my clients where I invite them to share their thoughts, experiences, and emotions. I want to help you find healing and make the changes in your life you are looking for, while you enjoy the process as much as possible.

Therapy is an opportunity to find ways to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life. It helps in overcoming difficult symptoms or stresses, cope effectively with problems or bring positives into your life when things are going well. I work with people struggling in their family relationships, or those in high distress from loss, grief & trauma, or people trying to cope with eating disorders, anxiety, depression, or emotional pain. In my work with individuals I have learned that working from a broad base of theories and techniques is best integrated in the therapeutic work.

I believe every client is an expert in their own lives and has the potential to keep growing. I am passionate about helping others and providing a safe, non-judgmental space for individuals to express themselves as I know this can be difficult. I provide therapy for adults, children, and adolescents. I address various issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, self-esteem as well as child behavioral and emotional challenges. I also have experience working with children with a history of sexual abuse. I strive to integrate unconditional acceptance along with cultural competency while using a client-centered approach.

My focus is on helping clients who experience anxiety and stress-related problems, mood disorders, chronic pain, and posttraumatic stress.

I am passionate about the work that I do and feel that it is a privilege to be in this role. I believe in walking alongside my clients and respect that this is their journey and that they are the experts of their own lives. I feel that everyone is unique and thus my counselling approach flexes to meet your individual needs by blending techniques. I believe that it is essential to create a warm, inviting and engaging space for you. One that creates a sense of safety and security as you work through the challenges that brought you to me.

I value working with adult individuals from all walks of life. I have 17 plus years working in the Addiction and Mental Health field. Whether you are feeling stuck, ambivalent or confused we can explore ways together to achieve your own hopes and dreams. I provide a safe and collaborative environment that fosters exploring change and growth. My style is warm, supportive and nurturing. I strive to treat all of my clients with unconditional acceptance and compassion. I hope we as a team together will be active in pursuing your personal goals for therapy.

I work with you to help you navigate and move forward to better mental health. I provide individual therapy with children, youth, along with their parent(s)/caregiver(s), and with adults. I am a trauma-based therapist, certified in Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for children and youth. For adults, I provide Cognitive Processing Therapy to address PTSD symptoms. I am an approved Medavie Blue Cross provider for RCMP, Veterans Affairs, and Canadian Armed Forces.
