Children (6 to 10) Therapists in Sherwood Park, AB

Hi there! My name is Lucy Nesbitt (she/they), and I am currently accepting new clients all across Canada. I offer holistic, somatic, creative counselling sessions that are person-centered and follow a humanistic approach. Clients will be held with warm, unconditional empathy and full transparency every step of the way. I most frequently support clients (of all ages, faiths and gender expressions) with life transitions, grief, change, healing and living more fully as they heal, however I work with anyone who feels I might be the right fit for them, on whatever they'd like to spend time on. I can't wait to meet you!

Do you aspire to feel more contentment or support to reach your goals? If you do and want to work with a warm, non-judgmental, experienced therapist, who gets results, then reach out to me. Clients over the years report that they quickly feel at ease with me, which allows them to feel safe, accepted, and open. To assist the clients, I identify negative thought patterns and issues that may have been impeding their growth & progress & then create an achievable plan. Over the past 20 years, I have worked with children, teens & adults from all backgrounds within the educational and private sectors.

When life becomes overwhelming and turbulent, we can feel alone and isolated. I am here to weather the storm with you and help you find a place of solace and clarity. I take pride in helping clients see results by truly listening to you and your needs. Whether you’re hoping to process the stressors in your life, learn practical tools and strategies to overcome hardships, or discover your inner strengths and resiliency, I am here for you. I will work collaboratively with you to unpack the root of your problems, heal past wounds, and create healthier patterns of thinking, responding, and living.

I work with individuals and families who have experienced trauma, substance use, anxiety, depression, ADHD, and relationship challenges. I have a special interest in intergenerational trauma and supporting people who experience challenges finding the support that they need.

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.

Looking for a therapist is a personal process. It is important to find someone who you feel comfortable working with and who has the training and experience to help you work towards your goals. I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker who has been practicing in the field since 2012. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work from Dalhousie University and I work with children, adolescents, adults and couples. I also hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification through Postpartum Support International. I am located in Fort McMurray AB and working with Nova Scotia residents virtually.

I would love to have the opportunity to work with you on challenges affecting your day-to-day life. I enjoy working with children, teens and adults and have 20 years of teaching and training experience in addition to my counselling training. My personal experiences with trauma, grief and loss, and ADHD have led me to want to help others through these experiences. I believe this greatly assists me in understanding and honouring your experiences. I strive to provide a safe space to share and learn new skills to build the life you want in line with your values and beliefs.
