Therapists in Whitehorse, YT

My ideal client is that individual who has experienced trauma in their life, be it violence, loss of a loved one, divorce or separation or death of a loved one. They feel lost and do not know how or where to begin from in the reconstruction of their lives. They so desire to live a normal life but their trauma does not permit them. They want to be free and pick up their lives from where they got off track.

Hello, I’m Grace with Diamond Psychology. I look forward to meeting you in person in Calgary, or virtually throughout Alberta, Yukon, and Nova Scotia. Have you ever wondered if you have Autism, ADHD or a learning disorder? Do you want to know if what you are suffering from is actually depression or anxiety? Are you curious if you have a mood disorder? Do you want to assess your child for a gifted school admission? If you answered yes to any of these questions, I can provide you with a detailed assessment to help you figure out what you are struggling with, and then create a plan to improve your mental health.

I am a queer femme of colour who is working to support collective healing and liberation by offering individual counselling. My work is centred in an intersectional feminist approach to therapy drawing from somatics, narrative and evidence based practices. My approach is to support individuals to build upon existing strengths and daily practices to ensure that they have the tools to live their life in alignment with their own values and desires. I see my role as creating a container to support a person in developing deeper accountability and consent in their relationship with themselves and with others.

Life can feel complicated, messy and often doesn't go as planned. I will hold space for you to examine and explore your experience, while also providing support, insight, and tools to help you reconnect to yourself and move through whatever challenges you may be facing. I work with individuals who have experienced or are experiencing the following: Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Sexualized Violence & Abuse, Women’s Health (Endometriosis, PCOS), Chronic Pain, Body Image Issues, Relationship Issues, Addictions, Grief & Loss.

I WELCOME ALL OF YOU who are ready to make deep and lasting changes in your life to find fulfillment, meaning, new skills and appreciation. I believe that each one of us is on a journey of recovery, healing, repairing, growing and learning how to manifest authentically and creatively. I also believe that the individual personal work we do directly impacts those in our life and our society at large. I know that we need to be connected to our families, neighbours, communities to find health. Similarly, we need to honour our land, our resources and all sentient beings. I look forward to meeting you in person or at a distance.

I have extensive experience working with individuals with complex needs involving addictions, mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and who have exhibited personality features such as borderline, or antisocial behaviours. I have worked with individuals with impulse dyscontrol, and other symptoms of executive function disinhibition. I like to work with individuals from a holistic perspective utilizing systems theory analyses; somatosensory, individual, family, community, society, and culture. If your are looking to make long-lasting, positive changes to your way of being in the world I can help you get there...

Currently offering online / video sessions to Yukon residents.

I can assist you to recognize your inherent worth, value and abilities. I often work with folks who have experienced trauma including racial trauma, sexualized violence & intimate partner violence, as well as occupational & vicarious trauma. I prioritize working with Indigenous, Black, racialized and 2SLGBTQ+ clients. I support folks in decreasing symptoms of adversities that may include anxiety, depression, post-traumatic stress, substance misuse and/or relational difficulties. I work with clients to connect their mind, bodies and hearts through somatic therapy, land-based healing, parts work & Internal Family Systems (IFS).

Welcome to my therapy practice, I am a dedicated therapist with a diverse educational background and extensive experience working with individuals of all ages and backgrounds. My journey as a therapist has been shaped by a deep motivation to help people, and I am committed to providing a safe and empathetic space for healing and growth. My passion is working with Indigenous communities, and I have had the privilege of working extensively with Yukon First Nation communities, where I have learned to develop culturally sensitive approaches to healing, particularly in the areas of addictions, trauma, intergenerational trauma, & PTSD.

I work with adults and teenagers experiencing depression and anxiety. I also work with people experiencing trauma, spiritual crisis, relationship issues, loneliness, problems due to medication, and stress in many forms. A block of time in my practice is kept open daily for those in crisis, who cannot find adequate support through the public system. I also work with couples wishing to heal relational concerns, and those with an inclination towards spiritual practice/life. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome people from all faith backgrounds and walks of life. Sessions are available in-person, by email, and via video.

Hi, I’m Allison and I’m glad you are here. Life can throw a lot of curveballs our way. Some days it can feel as though we are drowning in life stressors and caught in worrying spirals or experiencing task paralysis. Other days may feel doable but then a trauma trigger hits us, and we get stopped in our tracks. A counselling relationship can help us navigate through overwhelming and difficult life circumstances. Reaching out for help is hard but with a little bit of discomfort comes change and growth!

Trauma is a word that no one likes to hear, let alone experience. It comes in different forms: childhood, domestic violence, sexual assault, injury, our job, along with additional experiences that may come up. Facing trauma alone can be overwhelming, scary, and painful. This can cause additional physical health problems that can interfere with daily activities. You may experience nightmares, as if you are reliving the event. You may not want to leave your house for fear of it happening again. Knowing and understanding that therapy can take time and effort, I am committed to working alongside you through your healing journey.

I work mainly with challenges faced by women and children related to immigration and reintegration in another country, addiction, mental health, marginalization and relationships. My number one goal is to meet people where they are at and walk along with them on their journey towards a more rewarding and fulfilling one, where they can resolve or gain a different perspective on their situation, and is and learn new skills to help them through life. Clients strengths are highlighted and they are motivated to develop autonomy and confidence in their ability to make important decisions that affect their wellbeing.
