Therapists in T6C

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Helping people navigate life's complexities, reconnect with meaning, and find language for their experiences are passions for Kristi-Anna. She is sincere, down-to-earth, and a careful listener. Trauma, depression, cancer (patients & family members), grief, navigating change, and making sense of the past and present are areas she often works with. She also helps people who are contemplating whether or not to remain in present situations, including relationships, jobs, or educational trajectories, where people can sometimes feel stuck, constricted, or on auto-pilot. Her approach is humanistic, trauma-sensitive, and non-pathologizing.

Welcome! I am glad you are here. I consider myself a warm, empathetic, direct, and energetic person who truly enjoys meeting people where they are with a non-judgemental focus.

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.

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.
