Grief Therapists in Edmonton, AB

As a Master of Counselling Intern and certified Grief Recovery Specialist, I strive to create a non-judgemental, validating space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions. I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from therapeutic models that foster strength, acceptance, and change such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and EMDR. I have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief , emotion dysregulation, Autism, and trauma. The majority of my experience is with adolescents and young adults, but I welcome individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

Welcome! I am a trauma therapist with culturally informed, anti-racist & intersectional feminist values. I would be honored to walk through life's difficulties with you through creating a trusting relationship. We can process life experiences, break intergenerational trauma cycles, develop your unique identity, explore values, or set boundaries. Through being more compassionate to yourself, we can build your self worth and heal childhood wounds. I work holistically to support folks to deepen their connections to their mind, body, soul, spirit, emotions & community. I care about creating safer spaces that empower BIPOC mental health.

I want to help you find your "joie de vivre" (joy in living) and empower you to be your best self! I am a Registered Psychologist certified in Hakomi mindfulness-centered somatic psychotherapy and EMDR. I particularly enjoy helping clients change problematic patterns in their lives and become more self-compassionate. I believe clients have the inner wisdom they need to change and heal, but may need a supportive environment in which to access and practice it. I am also a Grief Recovery Method specialist. If you are dealing with unresolved pain due to any kind of loss or transition, contact me for more information.

I believe that therapy should be sometimes fun, sometimes uncomfortable, and always rewarding. I adapt my therapy approach to your specific needs, with a focus on making sure that you feel the payoff for your hard work. Maybe you feel like you're not in control of your emotions, or you're unable to explore more meaningful parts of your life because of fear or past experiences. We can work towards acceptance and building a sense of control. I can help to make sense of your experiences and better understand yourself, all while working on feeling better in the process.

Welcome! You’re taking one of the first steps towards healing: finding a therapist! I am a registered psychologist, Certified Grief Recovery Specialist, EMDR clinician, and have almost a decade of experience supporting autistic children. I would be honoured to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing. There are many things in life that can negatively impact our well-being. I believe everyone is worthy of healing and growth and I work from a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed lens to help you get there. I also strive to create a nonjudgmental space where you can feel safe, heard, and accepted.

Welcome to my page! I specialize in the areas of grief , trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety and depression. I also support people who are navigating stress, career change, chronic pain, physical injury, self esteem and self worth. I also specialize in anticipatory grief which can be described as feelings of grief before a loss occurs. I am collaborative, compassionate, authentic and use evidence based interventions to support you on your healing journey.

We desire healthy relationships and want to feel heard, understood, and accepted. We function at our best when our most important relationship is secure. Healing and hope begins here too. At Connect Psychotherapy, you will find a safe space to work on your most important issue. Together, we will identify your goals, and ways to cope and heal. I work with those who have experienced hurt in relationships; couples and families who are drifting apart, or have communication or infidelity issues, and those who are struggling to find their way back to when things were good.

Do you wake up, wanting to stay in bed, asking yourself "what's the point", feel stuck, alone, overwhelmed, worried, stressed, nervous, and/or depressed? Maybe thinking to yourself, I'm not good enough or I am a failure. You have barriers in your life that may have caused some of the thoughts and symptoms above such as a recent grief , loss , or past childhood event that still lingers in your mind and sets you back. If you are looking something different, better, or more, we can work together on creating a plan that will help guide you, support you, and increase hope for a better functioning, healthier, and happier life.

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.

Hi there! Firstly, thank you for being here. As a psychologist, I believe in a collaborative and client centred approach to therapy. I am truly passionate about assisting individuals in navigating life's transitions, fostering emotional regulation, nurturing personal confidence and self-esteem, providing support during times of grief and loss , and cultivating a healthier mindset. By re-authoring the stories we tell ourselves and challenging the negative beliefs we may hold, our minds can be a safe space again. Additionally, I find great joy in using humour in my practice.

Helping people to navigate life's complexities, reconnect with meaning, and find language for their experiences are passions for Kristi-Anna. She is sincere, down-to-earth, and a careful listener. Cancer (patients & family members), grief , navigating change, and making sense of the past and present are areas she often works with. She also helps clients who are contemplating whether or not to remain in present situations, including relationships, jobs, or educational trajectories, where people can sometimes feel stuck, constricted, or on auto-pilot. Her approach is humanistic, trauma-sensitive, and non-pathologizing.

I work collaboratively with my clients to help them create meaningful change in their lives and relationships. I am privileged to support my clients through life's struggles and help them realize their inner resources to cope with what comes their way.

I aim to provide individuals with a safe, non-judgmental, and compassionate environment in which they can share their stories. We do not exist in isolation from one another. I believe that creating and nurturing a therapeutic relationship can provide individuals with an open and welcoming space in which they can begin to reclaim their stories and create positive changes in their lives. I have had the opportunity to work alongside youth in the LGBTQ+ community, youth experiencing abuse, women and children fleeing domestic violence, and families experiencing divorce or separation.

I value authenticity and enjoy bringing humor, generosity, and evidence-based practices to my clients. My therapeutic approach is integrative in which I use a variety of techniques and approaches to customize therapy to individual needs. I believe healing is achieved in relationships and strive to build supportive and safe connections with my clients. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages, but I am particularly passionate about supporting children, youth, and parents impacted by loss and trauma.

When we are experiencing grief , loss , trauma and mental health challenges, it can feel overwhelming. The process of healing is a journey that involves self exploration, personal growth and skill development. Our intention is to guide you on this journey toward physical, mental and emotional wellness. We specialize in treating grief , trauma, anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress, relationship issues and life transitions. We offer mental health therapy to children 10+, youth, adults, couples and families. Our sessions are available in person or via telehealth so you can access support when and where you need it.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 35 years of experience working in hospitals, university and currently only in private practice. I worked overseas in a pediatric oncology and in a Pain Clinic. As the Director of the Psychology Department at the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, I helped cancer patients and their families; I supervised graduate students and was involved in published research. I achieved the level of Clinical Professor of Palliative Medicine at the University of Alberta. Following my departure from the Cross Cancer Institute, I worked at the University of Alberta Hospital in the Burn and Trauma units.

I have experience working with children (ages 10+), teens, and adults facing challenges related to grief & loss , gender & sexual identity, chronic illnesses, disordered eating (including ARFID), school, phobias, anxiety, ADHD, Autism, and trauma. I have a special interest in working with those who have experienced (or who will experience) the death of someone they love, and I also particularly enjoy working with queer, trans+, and gender-creative young people.
