Therapists in Sherwood Park, AB

Hello there! My name is Rebecca, and I am so excited to potentially work together with you! My absolute passion is working with people along their path of change. There is nothing more gratifying than walking alongside someone in their life’s journeys. My other absolute passion is helping clients work through trauma. I understand that trauma can affect all aspects of life and can be so complex and multi-faceted. I am so lucky to have worked with countless clients who have been able to heal after years of carrying these heavy burdens. My approach to therapy is non-judgmental, compassionate, and sensitive.

I have worked in health care for over 25 years as a Registered Nurse and Nurse Practitioner. I view clients from a strength-based, holistic perspective. Depending on the clients needs and concerns, can use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Hypnosis, EMDR, Solution-Focused therapies. I meet the client where they are at, and work with them to accomplish their goals.

I am registered with the Psychologist’ Association of Alberta. I provide sliding scale, and direct billing. I assist clients through life transitions, depression, anxiety, and trauma recovery. My commitment is to create a safe space in which memories, and future concerns can be unloaded. My previous military career provides an in depth understanding of challenges faced by front line workers. My life experiences provide a unique empathetic understanding of trauma, PTSD, and how unplanned events, and life transitions can affect day to day wellbeing. I am also a mixed race family, with a Cree ᐨᕒᐁᐁ daughter. Welcome ᐍᓬᒍᒣ.

Alberta Trauma Services provides treatment and support services to those who have incurred Traumatic Psychological Injuries (TPI) and their associated challenges. People who attend our clinic are experiencing trauma symptoms that are severe enough to cause significant impairment in occupational, vocational, cognitive, family, social functioning, and activities of daily living. We know from research and evidence-based best practices that psychology, biology, supports, and our life experiences all have a part to play in Traumatic Psychological Injuries. We developed our services from the belief that with an experienced team, following evidence-based best practices, trauma and stress-related challenges are treatable. Over the years, we have seen many of our clients grow from severe symptoms to having a better and more fulfilled life. We view trauma as similar to a physical injury. Like a physical injury, trauma requires assessment (ex: x-ray), treatment (re-aligned and placed in a cast), the hard work to gain functionality (ex: physiotherapy) and most importantly time for all parts to heal. Like a broken arm, when it has healed it is actually stronger than before.

My passion and skill sets revolve around supporting teens and young adults who are working through challenges and stress or those who want assistance in reaching new levels of personal growth in life and sport.

I support parents and children/teens through life's challenges including depression, divorce, grief, anxiety, or learning disabilities. I offer a compassionate environment for children and teens to make sense of themselves and the world. I also have a passion for sports psychology and work with athletes of all ages in all sports. As a former competitive athlete and nationally certified coach for 20 years I can help athletes work through performance anxieties, achieve life-sport balance, cope with past injuries in returning to sport, manage retirement, and move past fears and mental blocks.

Are you seeking a counsellor to help you get through a difficult time or life challenge? A counsellor who can help you make positive change in your life? If you choose me as your counsellor, we will work together as partners on the way to positive change. You will be treated with respect and dignity, in a caring and safe environment. Your own resilience, knowledge and inner strength will be drawn upon to get the best result.

Today can be the day that changes everything. As a trained therapist with over 20 years of experience, I can support you on your journey to living in alignment with your purpose and personal goals. My priority is to be your biggest fan and ally towards feeling WHOLE. Having the support of a therapist can make your challenges feel less heavy and will give you new perspectives that may not have been seen before. Life can start feeling easier, and the burdens become lighter and more manageable. I will meet you wherever you are at in life and we will start there.

Many of us have experienced adversity in our lives, including myself. Whether it is trauma, chronic pain/illness, racial discrimination or struggles, grief and loss, or depression/anxiety, these experiences often leave us feeling mentally, physically, and emotionally drained. My experiences have taught me that each person experiences adversity differently, and therefore, requires a unique approach for their unique experiential reality. Moreover, I believe that every person has the desire, capacity, and ability to heal and experience growth.

Are you looking for a caring and competent therapist? I am a Registered Counselling Psychologist with over 25 years of experience in helping people overcome life's challenges, achieve their goals and live more satisfying lives. I will listen to your concerns and provide a warm and supportive environment for us to find solutions that work well with your personality and in your unique situation. My areas of specialty include working with trauma related concerns (including PTSD), depression, anxiety, stress and relationship issues.

I have experience and training in helping individuals work through anxiety, depression, addictions, interpersonal communication difficulties, social skills difficulties, and negative self-talk. I have helped clients address body image challenges. I offer a compassionate place for individuals struggling with grief and loss. I have a particular interest in working with individuals dealing with domestic and family violence, both historical and from current experiences. I understand the cycle of violence, negative self-belief and social/financial/interpersonal issues that can contribute to someone staying in a difficult relationship.

I believe that we should all have the skills and tools to be successful and resilient while finding your voice. I believe that confidence and self-esteem are important in our lives and that our goals should be consistent with our own desires. I work from a holistic perspective and hope that even though the skills we work on may be sport-specific but that you can adapt those skills to work in other areas of your life. My goal as a sport and performance psychologist is to help change sport and performance culture to be a more healthy community while also reducing mental health stigma.

I am a Registered Psychologist with extensive experience working with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), childhood abuse and trauma, addictions, anxiety and depression, grief and loss, relationship struggles, and self/identity concerns. I am influenced by psychodynamic and humanistic models. I work with those interested in a self-discovery process, often triggered by a life crisis or transition, feeling lost and depressed, or a sense of disconnection from self and others. Together, we explore life purpose and meaning, increase awareness of personal qualities, abilities and gifts, and become empowered to create a more fulfilling life.

Hello! My person-centered approach influences the therapy I offer clients, allowing the opportunity for emotional processing and self-exploration and growth in a non-judgmental atmosphere. My practice includes therapy for adults of all ages and genders, adolescents, individuals, couples and families. My clinical expertise is in treating clients who are living with a variety of issues such as depression, self-harm, grief and loss, abuse and trauma, stress, self-esteem concerns, and interpersonal struggles, relationship, marriage and family difficulties, LGBTQ+ and sexuality, addictions and substance abuse, and personality and mood disorders (i.e. bi-polar disorder), and anxiety.

Are you ready to make a change? Would you like to worry less? Perhaps your relationship could use a tune up? Together we can make these changes happen. As a Registered Psychologist, I specialize in helping people improve their overall well-being, reduce symptoms of trauma, depression, and anxiety. I aspire to support each client to find hope and solutions to empower their lives.

I have always loved connecting with people. I have fourteen years of experience and still love what I do. I work with adolescents and adults with depression, anxiety and relationship problems using a client-centered focus. I also have experience with eating disorders, trauma, domestic violence, and body image issues. I also help adolescents to navigate the unique pressures that come with their developmental stage. I enjoy helping people find more adaptive ways of relating to each other and to improve their communication and social skills.
