Therapists in T6C

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.

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.

Welcome to my page! It takes courage to be here. I love working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds and identities. I’ve had the pleasure of working with LGBTQIA2S+ & neurodiverse folks, people with visible/invisible disabilities, and people at different intersections of these identities. If you’d like help to identify, regulate, and communicate your emotions to understand yourself better and facilitate your relationships, I’m here for you! With my clients, I explore and work on topics such as life transitions, neurodiversity, interpersonal relationships, painful childhood experiences, grief & loss, and more.

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.

My greatest passion is to bring healing and foster resilience to people who have been through a traumatic or stressful experience. I have over 20 years of experience, working directly with children, adults and families from various cultures, building empathy and providing nonjudgemental support to help people with addictions, depression, anxiety and grief. Currently I see individuals 13 years to 80 years old.

Welcome! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist at Strathearn Psychology. In my office, the goal is that you feel as safe and supported as possible! I am passionate about facilitating change in response to your daily experiences and challenges, this includes a special interest in working with teens, young adults, adults, first responders, trauma, PTSD, and emotional regulation. I have specialized training in diverse modalities, such as EMDR and emotion-focused, strength-based approaches to meet you exactly where you are.

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.

I specialize in working with adults and teens experiencing life challenges such as depression, anxiety, trauma and stress. Additionally, I support individuals grappling with life transitions, relationship concerns and parenting challenges, as well as those experiencing grief, loss and a wide range of other mental health related concerns. I support my clients to gain greater self awareness and to identify patterns of thought and behavior that may be 'getting in the way' of a fulfilling life. I encourage my clients to set realistic goals and to work intentionally towards these goals with the support of a well crafted plan.

My ideal family is one that is tired of hurting each other. My ideal family has at least one family member, usually a teenager, impacted by drugs, alcohol, and process addictions like video games. The healthy part of the family is motivated by fear to use control to stop their teenager from their addictive behaviour. If control is ineffective then power struggles can develop which tear at the family power structures. My ideal family has at least one family member who learns addictions are rooted in multigerational issues, trauma, and mental illness. Families want healthy loving interconnections and not power struggles.

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 believe the quality of the therapeutic relationship is crucial to the effectiveness of psychotherapy. My goal as therapist is to establish a relationship with my client that will allow me to effectively understand them in a nonjudgmental way and challenge them to grow and gain new perspective. I seek to be emotionally present, authentic, respectful, open, honest, and deeply empathic. In building on my client's existing inner strengths, they are empowered to seek and make the changes needed to live full and satisfying lives.

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.

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.

Emotions provide us with a rich source of information about our basic needs. However, growing up many of us were taught to avoid emotions, which makes getting our needs met in adulthood difficult. There are also times when our emotions are not helpful. For instance, when emotions bring up memories of past negative experiences. These unpleasant emotions can endure long after the situation has ended and be so intense and overwhelming that it can make current functioning difficult. Painful emotions are difficult to express and feel, however, once these emotions are out in the open, healing can occur.

I am a Certified Art Therapist and Registered Provisional Psychologist. I strive to create a safe and inclusive space where you can express yourself and where we can develop and work toward clear goals together. I honor people's diverse needs by integrating various approaches to best support them. I work with anxiety, trauma, recovery from intimate partner violence, stress, self-compassion, self-expression and more. I especially enjoy working with students and those in helping professions (e.g. nurses). If you have other areas of concern, I’m happy to discuss how I can help.

Hi! My name is Amanda and I’m a licensed and registered Counselling Therapist, Psychotherapist, and Clinical Counsellor with various certifications on top of formal education. Thanks for stopping by! I know it can be difficult to find the right fit and I welcome you and your story as you are. I work with children, youth, and adults dealing with Anxiety, ADHD, BPD, Depression, Trauma, Grief and Loss, with years of experience using evidence based approaches and therapies such as CBT, DBT, Existential, Narrative, Coaching and Person Centered, to name a few. Having someone to listen and support you at the pace right for you matters.

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 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.
