Somatic Therapists in Edmonton, AB

I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor with a masters degree in Counselling. My main area of focus is supporting individuals who have experienced any type of trauma. I have completed the advanced level Somatic Experiencing training and am comfortable working with many issues or concerns.

Are you ready to feel connected again, to let go of trauma, dysfunctional habits, and fears that have prevented you from moving forward and reaching your goals? I can help. I work in the areas of self-esteem, emotional regulation, eating disorders, addictions, relationships, work, and overall fulfillment in life. Whether you are caught in destructive patterns, experiencing anxiety, depression, panic, unexplainable sadness, or disconnection from yourself, together we can work to help you gain a sense of grounding, safety, healing, and freedom.

When I meet with a client, whether a child, teenager, or adult, my intention is to be present with them where they are, first as a human being; then to help them feel safe and comfortable with me and to bring my years of experience and training, along with their knowledge of themselves and their desire to change, to resolve what brought them to therapy.

Anxiety, depression and other mental illnesses do not need to run or ruin your life, your relationship or the life of the children you care for every day. With specific training in anxiety, trauma and PTSD, parenting, play therapy and couple's counselling I invite you to contact me for an in-person (health permitting) or online session. We can work together to develop confidence, self-esteem, peace, growth and meaning during this time. I work online and/or in person with children, teens and adults, couples, parents and families.

Everyone has the innate capacity to heal and transform. I see my task as offering a safe, skilled and authentic relational space in which that might occur. I offer a highly individualized and integrative approach to help you bring more balance, resilience, meaning and flourishing into your life - to call forth your true potential. I have over 12 years of experience in individual, couple, group and family counselling and have worked with all age groups and with many different mental health issues and challenges. However, I see everyone as completely unique and needing their own particular co-created path to healing.

Now booking new clients for April! It is my belief that all my clients are, to put it simply, doing the best they can with the tools they have. With that said, I know from experience that it certainly does not feel that way. That is why I am here, to remind you of the strengths you possess but do not yet realize, cultivate self-awareness, and release beliefs, memories and emotions that hold you back. Regardless of the issues you are facing, I hope to help you to see yourself and your difficulties with more compassion, cope with emotions in healthier ways and let go of patterns that keep you stuck and unsatisfied.

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 .

I come with over 20 years personal experience working with ADHD, Autism Spectrum and Dyslexia. I have overcome past toxic relationships and complex PTSD in my life. I find value in full body healing, Body, Mind, Spirit, and Soul. My continued exploration of healing and education has given me a variety of helpful tools to incorporate in helping others do the same. Invite me in to assist you in moving from survivor to “Thriving overcomer

Are you struggling to find your way through a difficult situation? Or do you feel stuck in old patterns you can’t seem to change? I work with people to renegotiate their relationships with themselves, others, and the factors causing problems in their lives - problems like anxiety, stress, depression, boundary issues, or trauma. I use an anti-oppressive lens and believe everyone deserves a supportive space to be heard and to heal no matter how they live or identify.

Individual clients come to see me when there is recognition of loss of control of their moods and behaviors. Difficulty with boundaries, honesty and building secure attachments create a lonely and isolated life. Depression and anxiety can be so overwhelming and we often don't want to feel like a burden to friends or family so we keep it to ourselves. I help my clients find themselves and find hope. I work with couples who are experiencing breakdowns in communication, loss of trust due to infidelity or other secrets and help them navigate the way through the repair process.

Are you someone that is feeling challenged, overwhelmed, stuck or hopeful for change? If you said yes to one, or all of the those things I look forward to helping you navigate and manage your current situation.

I specialize in Post Concussion Syndrome, anxiety and emotional overwhelm. This can include dealing with headaches, stress, reactivity, sensory overload, anxiety, depression and addiction. You may feel over-reactive to small situations and overwhelmed when dealing with daily activities. You could be having a hard time making decisions and find you are no longer trusting yourself. When dealing with chronic pain, there can be extra strain on relationships. Maybe you want to have more control over your emotions, be less sensitive to triggers, stop being stressed about relationships and get back to your regular level of functioning.

Life experiences can hinder our emotional, mental, or spiritual growth, making it difficult to move forward in an effective way. My experience has been working with teens, men, and women and their issues with trauma, addictions, OCD, eating disorders, and anxiety. I am passionate about helping my clients understand how the brain works and taking a strength-based approach to developing skills. The research focus of my thesis was on resiliency in Indigenous adults with FASD. Together, we can find the power within you.

As a therapist, I can help you navigate the hard challenges that you face in life. I often work with people who feel powerless around stuck patterns that lead to relationship conflict, depression, or anxiety. Some of my clients are seeking to break free from habits that aren't serving them anymore. Most of my clients are looking for ways to take care of themselves better as they heal and grow through past or current experiences. My approach can help you recover from trauma, find relief from stress, and foster healthier relationships. I also have a faith background and can provide Christian counselling as an option.

My name is Jodi-Lynn, welcome to my profile I am glad you are here! My belief is that each individual has the power to change and create a life that is meaningful for them. My job as your therapist is to walk alongside you throughout this journey, providing a non-judgemental and safe space to explore any barriers that may be impacting your ability to arrive where you want to be. I offer a relaxed, compassionate, gentle atmosphere, with a sprinkle of humour when appropriate.

I work with clients and their personal challenges with care, warmth, compassion, and curiosity. We explore the barriers that hold you back from having the life you desire. My focus is to guide you towards a deeper level of change. We do this by exploring the patterns keeping you stuck, beliefs that limit you, and thoughts that cause you distress. Often these patterns are rooted in the past due to early attachment, developmental, relational and shock trauma. Processing these experiences in a safe therapeutic relationship, allows us to heal the past and move to a place of authenticity, integrity, and satisfaction in our lives.
