Therapists in Spruce Grove, AB

Perceptions...This is what we live out. Our perceptions of life. How we see the world and what we expect. Sometimes life does not ask you what you want, and it can get frustrating , or downright painful trying to live with, date or communicate with someone in your life. Finding YOU is a large part of the answer. Who are you? What messages are you sending and receiving? What do you want from your life? What would it take to get that? To be able to feel good about yourself and your life again. Sometimes an outside perspective can help you to see more clearly. Reaching out for someone with an objective view can help with that.

Hello, my name is Lisa and I have experience working with children, adolescents, teenagers, adults, and families in school, community, and clinical settings. My areas of specialty include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, behavioural issues, school issues, life transitions, parenting, and family conflict.

What I hear most from those who are struggling is that they desperately want change but they cannot see a clear path; they have been dealing with overwhelming symptoms for so long that suffering is part of their routine. Often this daily strain results in unhealthy coping mechanisms that compound the issues and amplify the symptoms. If this sounds like you, please know that you are not alone. Whether your suffering stems from relationship, parenting, interpersonal struggles, or unresolved past trauma, you have the capacity to heal, even when you feel that life is unbearable and change is out of reach.

I'm Kim Long and I love to be a resource for adolescents, veterans, and adults just like you. You become empowered to feel safer in an unpredictable world by effectively using the information your own mind, body, and emotions tell you. Like a GPS on a car, my job is to enable to you reach your destination by using the maps you provide. If we take a detour, it's my role to reroute and help clarify the connection between the information you provide and where you want to go.

Many of the children I work with present with trauma, attachment concerns, anxiety, depression, behavioural challenges and difficulties with regulation.

Hello and welcome. Are you currently struggling and feeling overwhelmed? Are you finding it difficult to manage stress? Therapy provides the space to explore these challenges, so you can create new meanings, hope and new beginnings. As a therapist, I work in partnership with you, providing a warm, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts, feelings and experiences in a safe space. Together, we can work toward finding solutions to the problems you've been struggling with, identifying ways that you want to create meaningful change in your life.

Welcome! I'm so glad you stopped by! Life can be hard and times feel uncertain but you are not alone. My focus is first and foremost to create a space where you feel safe. From that safety I will build a connection that allows you to feel seen, heard, and valued so that you can drop your "mask" and be fully vulnerable and authentically yourself. In your session with me, you will find warmth, acceptance, genuineness, and validation with the focus on you and what fits with your life and your unique goals in counselling. You are not too much - too loud, too sensitive, too messed up, too anything!

Hello! As an experienced psychologist who is passionate about helping individuals and families experiencing difficulties and struggling with well-being, I will help you access, develop, and build on your own inner resources by listening and providing a caring and objective presence. I work with trauma and PTSD, mood (depression and anxiety), and some relationship concerns. We are located in Spruce Grove, AB.

I recognize that it takes courage to reach out and ask for help. I believe that it is important to create a supportive and accepting environment for my clients. I focus on identifying and acknowledging the strengths within all people and drawing upon these strengths to help guide them in making changes in their lives. I see clients who have concerns related to anxiety, depression, grief and loss, addictions, abuse, self-esteem, PTSD, and chronic pain.

From a place of compassion, non-judgment, and curiosity, I work with clients of all ages, in French or English, to help them identify conscious and unconscious patterns of thoughts, core beliefs and behaviours that impact their current way of being in the world. I work with clients in mindfulness and self-attunement, connecting to the body's wisdom in order to make sense of their experiences. Clients are supported toward meaningful change that is sustained through updated beliefs, increased skills, improved self-awareness and a new way of standing in the world.

I work with clients who are experiencing concerns related to trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, communication, self-worth, and emotion regulation. My clients and I work together to look for ways to not only work through these concerns but also find ways to live with them authentically by normalizing that it is okay to have these experiences. Healing ourselves from some of our past adversities and experiences can be a journey full of difficult emotions, and I want to create a space where we welcome all of those emotions. I invite the growth as well as the discomfort that our healing brings, for they are both part of the journey.

"Life's not about waiting for the storm to pass ..... It's about learning to dance In the rain." - Vivian Greene - I welcome the opportunity to dance in the rain with you ... to explore the storms that have marred your life and prevented you from knowing joy. To help you discover the beauty of the storm, and perhaps more importantly, become empowered to weather present and future storms. Personal pain takes many forms: relationships that are a little off, and need realignment, or completely broken requiring redesign. Your pain may take the form of depression, anxiety, fear, or traumatic memories.

My belief is that psychology is not a “one size fits all” solution. Just as each person differs through their personality, qualities, and life experiences, so does the healing journey and plan of care for each individual client. If you are looking to understand your thoughts, feelings and behaviours and where they might stem from, you are in the right place. I work primarily with youth and adults who struggle with symptoms of depression, anxiety, symptoms of trauma, and who are dealing with increased stress overcoming life events.

Facing life’s challenges alone can be overwhelming. I am committed to creating an open and safe environment for individuals to share, engage, learn, and reflect. Working from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive approach, I strive to ensure that everyone I work with feels welcomed, understood, and valued. I believe that this is the way to heal and I invite the whole person: body, feelings, inner parts, culture, and social location, into a healing space. Healing and wholeness are possible with empathy and connection.

My name is Geneviève, you can also call me Gen! My pronouns are she/her, et oui, je suis bilingue. I have been working towards a career in mental health throughout my many years of people-helping roles and from them have gained a great appreciation for each individual’s story, personal struggles, and inherent strengths.

Creating a space of safety and openness is at the centre of my approach to counselling. Working from a strength-based perspective, we will engage in a collaborative process where you are the expert of your life. My intention is to help you access the tools and wisdom within and around you to bring yourself to healing and wholeness. My clients are often adolescents and adults who are looking for help with trauma, anxiety, relationships, gender, sexuality and nonmonogamy.
