Grief Therapists in Edmonton, AB

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.

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. If you're looking to make sense of your experiences and better understand yourself, all while working on feeling better in the process, I can support you along the way.

Welcome! My name is Laura and I provide psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, and couples across Alberta. My interests and experiences include working with individuals experiencing complex trauma, grief , anxiety, depression, substance use, and life transitions. I provide services in both English and Spanish and enjoy working with diverse populations using multi-cultural counselling. My therapeutic approach draws from Dialectic Behavioural Therapy, Solution-Focused, and Attachment-based approaches.

I work with individuals, couples and groups who are impacted by grief , loss , depression, anxiety and trauma/PTSD. I strive to work collaboratively with individuals to uncover their strengths, express their feelings and work to adjust to challenging circumstances. I have additional training in reproductive mental health specializing in: infertility, IUI's, IVF, 3rd party reproduction consultations, and surrogacy. I also work with individuals that have experienced miscarriage, a baby born still, any medical trauma/any type of birth trauma, PPA/PPD and NICU experiences.

I believe that our mind, body and spirit hold the key to our emotional wellbeing. Somewhere along the way into adulthood, this connection between the head, the heart, and the body falter and begin to cause us distress. People lose the ability to "trust their gut" or are unable to identify what they are feeling during particular times of loss or conflict. My approach aims to identify where the disconnect is, and work collaboratively to bring all three back into focus. It is said "the longest journey you will ever make is from your head to your heart" and my goal is to support people as they take the steps needed to get there.

If you are looking for support for yourself or a family member in facing challenges that impact day-to-day functioning, I can provide this therapeutic support. I will work with you/your family according to your goals and strengths; I can help with strategies and ideas to bolster strengths you already possess. Some of the concerns I can help with include anxiety, depression, bereavement , trauma, addictions, relationship issues, stress, and life adjustments.

The process of healing is a journey that involves self exploration, personal growth and skill development.

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.

I am passionate about supporting individuals and families to overcome pain/trauma and work towards wholeness, healing, and ultimately building lives that express their full potential. I specialize in working with children/youth, and adults affected by trauma, grief and loss , anxiety, suicide, depression, ADHD, low self esteem, as well as those healing from abuse in relationships. I work collaboratively with clients to create goals and develop road maps for healing, and to create a safe and non-judgmental space for healing to occur. I use an ecclectic approach including: talk therapy, Art Therapy, DBT, EMDR and mindfulness/somatic.

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 children with autism spectrum disorder. 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.

Do you aspire to feel more contentment or support to reach your goals? If you do and want to work with a warm, non-judgmental, experienced therapist, who gets results, then reach out to me. Clients over the years report that they quickly feel at ease with me, which allows them to feel safe, accepted, and open. To assist the clients, I identify negative thought patterns and issues that may have been impeding their growth & progress & then create an achievable plan. Over the past 20 years, I have worked with children, teens & adults from all backgrounds within the educational and private sectors.

Many people feel lost in the rhythms and uncertainties of life. Feelings of emptiness, loneliness, hurt, confusion and anxiety can overwhelm our ability to live life deeply. Sometimes our usual patterns of living are no longer working. Other times sudden changes, such as world events, a loss , life transition, trauma, or a diagnosis swamp our emotional resources. The surfacing of past events such as abuse, grief , or accidents may stop us in our tracks. These are just some of the situations that can create barriers to living the life we want, and send us searching for deeper meaning, connection and belonging.

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.
