Psychological Testing and Evaluation Therapists in Edmonton, AB

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.

Everyday life presents us with many challenges, and not all challenges are easy to overcome. In order to preserve our mental and physical health, it is important to identify when the challenges we are facing are beyond the normal threshold of storm and stress. We need to make a decision to reach out...Find a professional who will provide us with an environment where we will feel safe, comfortable, respected, listened to, and understood. Where we are able to gain insight into our situation, find a deeper understanding, evoke meaningful changes, improve our relationships, and heal ourselves by using a potential that we already have.

I am a Registered Psychologist who is passionate about helping children, adolescents and young adults with emotional, academic and behavioral difficulties. I have been an educator and school counselor for the past 30 years and I am cognizant of the struggles that some children or youth experience in the regular school system. My experiences as a classroom teacher and school counselor have prompted a desire to work with students with learning, emotional and behavioral challenges in conjunction with their families.

I have worked in a variety of settings including in-patient treatment centres, private practice, and several school jurisdictions across Alberta. I specialize in the assessment and treatment of children, adolescents, and young adults struggling with learning disabilities, behavioral problems, and difficulties in emotional functioning. I have also served as adjunct academic staff in the department of Educational Psychology at the University of Alberta since 2018.

Anxiety. Pain. Fear. Mistrust. Anger. Crisis. They're real, and they can dominate your life. Struggle becomes a constant weight, relationships become strained, confusion reigns, hope seems distant. I know and understand those feelings. And I know that change is possible. My goal is help you work towards that change, to turn patterns of self-destruction into self-realization. I can help your need for peace and happiness become a greater reality, so that you may find a new life of trust and purpose and reconnect in enhanced relationships with self, family, God, and community.

Hi! I'm Gabrielle and I am a registered provisional psychologist. My approach to therapy is relational, meaning that I prioritize developing a connection with you by listening, asking questions, and usually some humour. I incorporate aspects of feminist and narrative therapies, through which we can explore how personal and cultural narratives may influence your mental health and well-being. I work with folks who experience distress in many forms including anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, trauma, self-esteem, boundaries, grief, and anything else that's on your mind! I also do adult autism assessments and psychoeducation.

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.
