Therapists in T6C

I'm a dedicated professional, committed to personal growth and helping others. I began my journey in 2012, gaining valuable experience in various settings, including community health organizations, hospices, and primary schools. My empathetic approach is impactful for individuals dealing with stress, depression, anxiety, parenting, relationships, anger, and grief. I draw from techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Mindfulness, empowering individuals to heal and rewrite their life stories.

Everyone has the innate capacity to heal and transform. I see my task as offering a safe, skilled and authentic relational space in which that might occur. I offer a highly individualized and integrative approach to help you bring more balance, resilience, meaning and flourishing into your life - to call forth and nurture your true potential. I have over 15 years of experience in individual, couple, group and family counselling and have worked with all age groups and with many different mental health issues and challenges. However, I see everyone as completely unique and needing their own particular co-created path to healing.

Hey! I'm Christopher, a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I work with teens, adults, couples and families dealing with a variety of concerns. I value flexibility, accountability and fun. I strive to meet you wherever you are in life's journey, whether you wish to dive deep and wade through the darkness or if you just want a tune up and need some immediate relief. I aim to hold you accountable to your goals, hopes, and dreams in our work together. Lastly, I believe the journey is about progress (no matter how small) over perfection, which can be made a lot smoother when we are able to exhale and share a few laughs along the way.

Supporting others begins with the presence of a safe space of openness and acceptance that facilitates a client’s innate yearning for healing, growth, and self actualization. My own journey has led me to the joy, mystery, and wonder of self discovery, the healing experience of healthy relationships, and finding meaning and purpose in life. The enjoyment in my work as a therapist comes from guiding clients on their journey to discover what brings them joy and to help them reconnect to their inner resources – their strengths, wholeness, peace, deeper nature, and internal guidance and wisdom.

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.

I am Registered Psychologist with a master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from City University of Seattle. My primary area of experience has been in sexual trauma, as counsellor working at the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton. However, in private practice, I see a variety of different individuals, children and adolescence, with unique and diverse needs. I treat PTSD and trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and many other life difficulties people may experience. My passion is working with anyone who feels like they need to be heard.

I am a Registered Psychologist with over 10 years experience working in various mental health and addictions programs. I have experience working with individuals across a variety of areas including mental health concerns, sexuality, gender-identity, emotion regulation, interpersonal issues, self-criticism, self-esteem, and motivation. I work with clients to build on their strengths and act in ways that align with their values. My approach to therapy prioritizes relationship building and helping my clients feel safe and comfortable. I often use humour in sessions and enjoy being able to laugh with my clients.

Welcome! I am an empathetic, caring, and down-to-earth person, who is genuinely interested in supporting you through your journey in counselling. It is important to me that while we work together, you feel supported and accepted. Humor and sensitivity are key ingredients in establishing a successful working relationship. I believe that no two people are the same. As such, you can expect that my approach to your counselling will be as unique as you are.

Recognizing that it takes courage to reach out for help, I provide a safe, non-judgmental and supportive environment to nurture healing, learn new skills and foster hope. I love helping people to connect with their own strengths in order to make the changes they desire. My approach is one of compassion, respect and a fundamental belief in the goodness of people.

I use a developmental-attachment lens to understand a person of any age in the context of their self development and the important people in their life. Whether it's a child, youth or adult, I know that we all struggle between the expectations of others and connecting into our own desire for balance within our self-- emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. Connecting back into our self is the first step in being able to express our feelings and needs more clearly and cultivating positive relationships with those we love.

Our mental health is such an important part of our overall wellbeing and for the way we show up in our life, yet it isn’t always an easy thing to address or to talk about. Our experiences and the challenges that can come with them are unique to each of us, just as are our strengths and values, and sometimes having the support of a therapist can help us to reconnect with these parts of ourselves and choose a way forward. I acknowledge that cultural and social systems interact with our inner world and lived experience, and it’s important to me that my practice integrates diverse perspectives and ways of caring for each client.

The decision to start therapy is a courageous first step towards understanding, healing and growth. Whether you struggle with relationships, persistent troubling thoughts or feelings, are overwhelmed by events that are out of your control or just want to get in touch with a deeper sense of meaning and purpose in your life, therapy can help.

I work with children, teens, adults and couples facing life transitions, coping problems or mental health concerns. Depression and anxiety is very common, but I also work with loss, health concerns and family problems.Therapy is about change, but it is not about changing who we are. The person we are meant to be has been here all along. Sometimes we need help to reconnect. I work with my clients to explore patterns of behavior and thought that can keep us in small and narrow places, and to reconnect to our wiser, balanced and more joyful self.

Are you feeling stuck and what you are used to doing isn’t working anymore? Are you ready to take the next step towards creating a happier life for yourself and in your relationships? Using a positive, strength and thought-based psychological approach; I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to help them achieve their goals and move in a healthier direction. I can help you work on building and adapting your current life skills and abilities to generate healthy skill-sets to reach your personal goals and increase success in your daily life, relationships and career.

I believe people experience psychological/emotional suffering because they are not able to relate deeply enough to certain aspects of themselves. This disconnection causes "symptoms" and pain. Depression and anxiety are the most common, but they can further develop into problems with identity, addictions, anger, suicidal feelings, despair, problems in relationships, personality disorders etc. To relieve suffering and to further ones personal development, a deeper connection with self is needed. The clients I usually work with are people who feel thwarted in their attempts to be happy, have satisfying relationships, achieve success.

If therapy, to you, means digging in deep and healing all parts of you - we may be a good fit! As a therapist, I believe that struggles and challenges are all a part of life. This is what makes us human! But we were never meant to struggle alone. You may be looking to address and process past wounds that are still impacting you today. Or, you may be searching for ways to deal with the messiness of life and learn to thrive rather than just survive. Maybe you're hoping to grow and evolve, by gaining skills your future self will thank you for. Either way, I will meet you where you're at and work with you towards healing.
