Women's Issues Therapists in Edmonton, AB

Currently accepting NEW virtual clients! We all go through difficult times - let's talk about it! I can help you find solutions with; family conflict, relationship issues, motivation, goal setting, career guidance, and provide coping strategies for anxiety and depression. If you have a struggling teen I also provide art as therapy sessions (ask me how this works)! I am interested in the holistic integration of emotions, thoughts and behaviours - my style is direct and personable and I view each client as a key resource and collaborator in the course of their treatment and growth.

Our clients struggle with personal and marital issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction and abuse. They are worried about familial disruption and impact, especially when concerning their children. Some of the major stressors are mental illness, financial, divorce, family conflict, and child behavioural issues. Some fear to seek help, due to repercussions from family members and fear of losing their children. Most people we work with, want to protect and keep their family intact. They also want to ease their pain and lead a happier life. They want to gain support without adding additional stressor to themselves or their family.

Hi! I work with individuals of all ages and their families. My approach to therapy is relational, meaning that I prioritize developing a strong working relationship with you to assist and guide you as you work toward your desired outcomes. 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 you want to explore and understand about yourself.

Are you someone who knows how you want to eat but get stuck somewhere between what you want to put into your mouth and what you actually put into your mouth? Do you see your relationship to food as an emotional expression of what is going on inside of you? I support my clients in getting in touch with their physical hunger cues and then the emotional, spiritual hungers that arise as a result. I have been there. I've done retreats on my eating and my master's thesis on how we use our body to express internal struggles.

I specialize in Women's Mental Health and love working with moms. Stress and anxiety are at an all time high and moms are telling me they're exhausted and overwhelmed with the mental load. They've been isolated in navigating fertility challenges, pregnancy, the birth of children and post-partum. They're parenting with few supports and often have kids who are struggling too. They've had to deal with difficult dynamics at work and in their personal lives, are coping with a multitude of losses and are dealing with past or present traumas. Reach out if you can relate and we'll work together to help make life more manageable right now.

Hello! I'm a Registered Psychologist who specializes in supporting adult clients with trauma, anger, shame, burn out, overwhelming emotions, boundaries, depression, anxiety, and return-to-work/medical leaves. This includes experience with first responders and a specialization in providing virtual care with a goal of making services accessible to clients. I also specialize in the psychological assessment of adult ADHD. I believe that the challenges in our lives, both big and small, can greatly impact our well being. Working to resolve those challenges in a supported space can provide relief, insight, and resilience.

My practice is spiritually informed and trauma informed narative art therapy with a collaborative client centred approach. I work primarily with individual adult clients to re-frame their experiences and find their strengths with new perspectives and solutions to presenting problems. Through creativity and artistic expression, I also can assist clients to work with trauma related underlying issues that are difficult to verbalize. I have a holistic lens, that includes mental, physical, social and spiritual dimensions of health.

My name is Chelsea Smyth and I am the founder of Village Therapy. The pressure and expectations on mothers are at an all-time high, yet the traditional support system of the village no longer exists. I founded Village Therapy to help women navigate motherhood and to help them in building their village, so that they can shift from surviving to thriving. Whether you are pregnant, postpartum, or have experienced infertility or pregnancy loss, I want to help you on your journey to feeling well again. Village Therapy makes accessing counselling easy, by offering all of our sessions by telephone or live video chat.

I specialize in holistic & soul-centered approaches to healing trauma and life issues in women and children. I focus on empowering women and children to understand their past and remember who they really are. I engage children in play therapy to help them make sense of their world. My mission is to inspire women to mindfully and positively care for their body, mind, spirit, relationships, and the earth with loving kindness. Body-centered and intuitive approaches will help you access your inner wisdom and live a happier, more authentic life. I believe in healing at the level of the soul, a return to a wholeness of heart.

If you are concerned about your child/youth’s anxiety or mood, I have many years of mental health experience that I can offer. If you have an anxious/sensitive personality, or are a perfectionist that worries too much, or find yourself over thinking everything - we may be a great fit. If you simply need a safe place to work towards personal growth, self discovery, work/life balance, or living your best life, I would love to help you on your journey. If you are experiencing fertility setbacks that impact your identity or parenting/family challenges that others just don’t seem to understand, I would invite you to connect with me.

We all desire a life where we're not struggling with anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, trauma, setting healthy boundaries, anger, perfectionism, shame and guilt etc. Sometimes we feel no one understands! These are normal human struggles and there is no shame in talking to a professional. We seek help from doctors for physical health so why not for mental health? Healing the body, also requires healing the mind. I am also an EFT (Tapping) practitioner and I love EFT work since it has consistently been shown to be of great benefit, either as a stand-alone therapy or in addition to other modalities. Time to talk, tap or tap and talk? YES

Are you a "big feeler"? Have you always been considered emotional or sensitive? Big feelers are often filled with worries about the future and overwhelmed by the present. You might spend a lot of time dealing with racing thoughts and fears. It's difficult to feel like you're living a secret life where no one knows how much you struggle. You might even feel like no one really knows you. You might wish you could just turn your brain off for a while and not feel so deeply impacted by everything.

Being a helping professional has always been challenging, but these days it feels even harder. You feel stressed, overwhelmed, or exhausted. You're struggling to find the energy to spend on the things and people you love. Work-life balance sounds like a myth when you're simply trying to survive each day. Sound familiar? You are more than just your work - you deserve the same high quality care and support that you give to others. I support helping professionals struggling with occupational burnout and life stresses to reconnect with themselves, their relationships, and their lives so they can live with with greater purpose and peace.

Everyone struggles sometimes. Life can be overwhelming, and no one should need to navigate it alone. We all deserve dignity and respect by being seen and heard. I work hard to hold space for my clients and offer them tools and strategies that create positive change in their lives. I am deeply empathetic and take a dynamic approach to support clients in accomplishing their goals. I see your strengths and want to help foster empowerment to overcome challenges. I do not define my client’s goals for them. Rather, I guide them through a process that supports their autonomy and grows self-determination.

I reestablish a state of wholeness w/in each client by connecting & re-integrating all of the unique pieces & parts displaced in the past, present, & future; mind, body, & spirit for authentic & complete healing. Whether your concerns are presented physically, mentally, emotionally, &/or spiritually, incorporating these interrelated fragments allows us to identify the root issues of the repeating themes & patterns present within your life. When you want to make long lasting, core level changes within your life, we need to discover, collect, & heal the wounds & distortions creating your current concerns, while uncovering the real you
