Therapists in T6C

Hope is looking forward with both confidence and unsuredness to something good. When we hope, we anticipate that what we want to happen can indeed happen. I want to walk in hope with you that the future can somehow be better, no matter what its present condition. I use an integrative approach rooted in narrative therapy, emotion focused family therapy, solution focused therapy and attachment theory to find new meaning and change for my clients.

I look forward to meeting with you & exploring the challenges you face today along with the supports & strengths you have developed. My aim is to create a hope-filled therapeutic environment; one of understanding & acceptance. In our work together we will explore the "enduring vulnerabilities" (unfinished business) that may be affecting your personal well-being & your emotional/relational health. I believe in nourishing the whole person: Body-Soul-Spirit (Mind-Will-Emotions) & I would be honored to work with you on your journey towards freedom. Chaz Wiebe, MPCC, RPC, Counselling Therapist, Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling, & Registered Professional Counsellor

I work with people who are feeling stuck in their lives in some capacity - relationships, work, life purpose - and who want to move out of this stuck place. If you are interested in changing the unconscious patterns that keep you from living the life you desire, I invite you to experience a counselling session with me. My approach is calm, mindful, and respectful. I don't focus on your past. Instead, I work with what is currently affecting you.

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.

Most of the clients I work with have come to realize that there is something in their life that is inhibiting their growth and happiness, and they may need some support as they prepare to make changes that will allow them to find their joy. It isn't easy deciding to start therapy, but being here is an important first step. My goal is to identify how my training and knowledge can best support you in using your inherent strengths to achieve your goals of living a happier, more authentic life. I can support you in overcoming symptoms related to anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and dysregulation.

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.

I work predominantly with folks who are racialized, 2SLGBTIQ, neurodivergent, and/or disabled. Often, those I work with have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder; experience identity-based trauma; struggle with relationships, emotional regulation, or impulsivity; want greater self-awareness or understanding; want to feel a sense of belonging, connection, and safety; or generally, want more joy in their lives.

Feeling stuck? Over it? Ready to focus on wellness and well-being in your life? If you are looking for a safe, compassionate, accepting space to explore historical and present day troubles and concerns this could be it. I have had the honour of accompanying people on their journey to wellness for over 30 years, and am always inspired by the strength and resilience of the human spirit. My work has taken me to a number of different settings, including residential treatment centers for behavioural and emotional difficulties in children and addictions in young adults, First Nations communities, schools and private practice.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with 35 years of experience working in hospitals, university and currently only in private practice. I worked overseas in a pediatric oncology and in a Pain Clinic. As the Director of the Psychology Department at the Cross Cancer Institute in Edmonton, I helped cancer patients and their families; I supervised graduate students and was involved in published research. I achieved the level of Clinical Professor of Palliative Medicine at the University of Alberta. Following my departure from the Cross Cancer Institute, I worked at the University of Alberta Hospital in the Burn and Trauma units.

Challenges in life are inevitable, but there are many choices in how to face them. Paul Bianchini is a counseling psychologist working in the Edmonton area and provides psychotherapy services for people struggling with anxiety, depression, adjustment issues, relationships, marriage issues, occupational stress, crisis intervention, trauma, grief and loss, body image issues, self-esteem, health psychology, and addiction issues.

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 over perfection (no matter how tiny), which can be a lot more fun when we are able to exhale and share a few laughs along the way.

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.

If you are dealing with addictions or emotional challenges I look forward to working with you. One can often feel alone, feel that no one understands and fear being judged. I will support you by creating a safe space to work through the problem. Issues such as relationship conflicts, addictions, anger and stress can impede your daily functioning. My goal is to help you identify potential causes and find healthy ways to resolve issues and to guide you through those vulnerable moments.

Matt Shandro has worked as a registered psychologist in the province of Alberta since 2009. He provides counselling and psychotherapy to teens, adults, couples, families and groups.

What is the MORE you are searching for? Many people seek out therapy because they are tired of their lives or they want to get rid of the words in their head that beat them down. They want to find a better them. More can mean a number of things- joy, confidence, motivation, creativity, or boldness (to name a few). Creating change is not easy or fast, but we have to start somewhere. One of the best feelings is being seen and heard for who we are- it feels so good, yet can be so scary at the same time. It may feel out of reach, and that's okay.

I have a strong interest in working with adolescents and adults who are struggling with substance use issues. Working from a client-centered, harm reduction approach, I am committed to assisting you in achieving a better quality of life. I am also passionate about helping others deal with grief and loss, relationship issues, depression and anxiety, and I believe all individuals have the capacity and strength to change and achieve their goals.

My counselling approach is creative and integrative. This allows me to be flexible in my work and tailor my approach to meet your unique needs. I believe strongly in every person's natural ability to heal and grow from painful feelings and life experiences. My job is to be a supportive, caring guide towards a more fulfilling life. Research shows that meaning therapeutic relationships strongly contribute to profound, long lasting change. It is important to find a therapist that you are able to genuinely connect with. My clients consistently describe me as someone that is easy to connect to and who is warm and caring.

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.
