Sexual Abuse Therapists in Edmonton, AB

Hi, I am Candace. I specialize in working with adult women who have experienced relational trauma, using both individual and group therapy. The truth is most of my clients do not use the term "rational trauma" to describe what they have experienced. Instead, they explain that they have decided to reach out for help because they desire to take control of their lives after experiences such as intimate partner violence and maltreatment, sexual abuse , sexual assault , workplace bullying, being betrayed by someone they trusted, childhood trauma and coping with the impact of being in a narcissistic abusive relationship.

Stress can impact the whole person and trauma can turn one's world upside down. Sexual and physical assault , combat, or serious accidents are all examples of traumatic events that can cause an array of distressing symptoms. Anxiety, depression, flashbacks, nightmares along with nausea, and chronic muscle tension are common. I specialize in the treatment of trauma and PTSD and I can help you recover from the impact stressful memories and feelings. My experience working with combat veterans and survivors of recent and childhood sexual abuse also provides much needed insight and sensibility into these matters.

I am a registered provisional psychologist working in St, Albert and in Edmonton. I work primarily with individual adults and couples, but I have experience with children, and families as well.

My main areas of focus are identity, depression, anxiety, trauma and sexual issues ( sexual abuse & trauma, sexual identity & orientation, intimacy issues, and sexual disorders).

Trauma can have such a complex impact on our wellbeing, and sometimes the healing process can feel really challenging. Trauma can affect how we think, feel, and act in the world and have us doubting ourselves. It’s okay to ask for help. Therapy can look like lots of things including exploring what happened to you, learning to be more connected in the present, and preparing for the future. Therapy can be about processing painful experiences, and it can be about reconnecting with joy and pleasure. Whatever your path, I will work with you to create a space for change.
