Therapists in Morinville, AB

Helping you to achieve balance in life.

My name is Jessica Himschoot and I am the owner and provisional psychologist at Morinville Counselling Services. My husband and I grew up in the Morinville area, which we now call home with our 4 young children.

At Northern Lights Counselling, my mission is to guide individuals on their transformative journey towards healing, self-discovery, and overall well-being. Inspired by the beauty and magic of the northern lights, I provide a safe and peaceful space for clients to redefine their relationship with alcohol, substances, and addiction, as well as effectively manage stress, anxiety, and depression. I believe in fostering hope, inspiration, and personal growth, supporting our clients as they navigate their path towards lasting change and inner harmony.

I am a Registered Psychologist with a private practice in St Albert, Alberta. My experience is with individual, both adults and children, relationship, and family therapy. I am registered under the governing body, College of Alberta Psychologists. I have many years experience in the areas of Mental Health and Addictions. I have been practicing psychotherapy since graduating from Gonzaga University in 1998 with a Masters in Counselling.

I believe in the human spirit, uniqueness of experience, personal strength, and the critical nature of support. In my practice, I work with individuals in a culturally sensitive manner that displays warmth, genuineness, and respect. Furthermore, I am dedicated towards empowering clients in helping them meet their goals. I have directed my practice to work with clients who are experiencing emotional distress, transitions, trauma, and with members of the military community. I work in helping clients emotionally regulate through the use of Self-Regulation Therapy, DBT, Narrative, and CBT approaches.

Any one seeking help for their suffering and pain is welcome. We go at the pace best suited to you and I respond to where ever you are without judgement or expectations. I aim to reduce your stress and help you gain clarity and new perspectives to make positive changes in your life. Despite sometimes feeling overwhelmed by negative thoughts and feelings you have a deeper knowing which I help you access.

Life can be difficult. Trying to address these difficulties ourselves may feel overwhelming. I support the individuals I meet by working collaboratively with them in a non-judgmental, supportive environment where goals can be established, and movement towards positive change can occur regardless of where one might be in the change process. I believe in highlighting strengths, and empowering clients to achieve therapy goals. I respect how each person's needs within therapy are unique, so a primary focus of mine is the development of a meaningful therapeutic relationship so I can clearly understand and support those unique needs.

Life can present with many challenges and struggles; however, it can bring us to a journey of self-awareness and self-discovery. I hope to help you discover who you are meant to be, both as an individual or as a couple. I am registered social worker, with 15 years of counselling experience. I have a passion for my work and it shows in my commitment and dedication to my clients. My interest is working with adults either individually or as a couple.

I work with children, youth, and adults who are looking to understand their unique strengths and challenges through psychological assessment. Psychological assessments can investigate Giftedness, Learning Disorders, ADHD, and Autism. I also work with children, youth, adults and families providing counselling which is action oriented, targeting mood concerns (eg.anxiety/depression), parenting stress, major life transitions and grief and loss. I integrate CBT, ACT and SFT in my approach.

I focus primarily on helping men of all ages heal and revitalize their relationships. Of all the relationships we maintain, the most important one is with ourselves. Through our own inner dialogue of feelings and thoughts we read and tell our own story. I believe this awareness of how feelings and thoughts manifest in our body and minds is at the heart of counselling and the human condition. Emotions get stored in our body and have a history. In the space we share, I will provide a welcoming and supportive atmosphere for you to tell your story, and to write the next chapter in your life.

I have had the privilege of providing mental health support in a variety of capacities since 2013, including crisis management, advocacy, and community and private practice counselling. My focus is on helping clients identify their unique strengths to gain insight into their emotions and conquer unhelpful behaviour or thought patterns that no longer serve them.

Welcome! You feel like you feel for very good reasons. Symptoms of anxiety and depression are a natural response to real life experiences. Unfortunately, we can struggle to find our internal resources when these events occur, and then we have great difficulty using our resources and natural wisdom to make changes to get better. I work within a range of CBT and DBT informed strategies, to gain mastery over problems that can seem unsolvable. Are you frustrated and curious about why it can be so hard to get the basic things that you want in life? Is it hard to even know what you want? Do you wonder where to start? I can help.

Art Therapy is great for youth & adults who have difficulty expressing themselves verbally. Experience with art making is Not necessary because we use materials in multiple ways. This mode of therapy is effective for those who have experienced trauma, by giving the client an opportunity to heal in a preverbal manner. The therapeutic use of art materials is good for anyone struggling with anxiety or stress. Working with an Art Therapist can untangle thoughts, re-imagine past patterns and create multiple ways to get unstuck. Instead of having to form thoughts through speech, we process through imagery, in a hands on manner.
