Therapists in Edmonton, AB

I am a registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists and a member of the Psychologists Association of Alberta. I have worked in private practice, public healthcare and educational settings in multiple countries. I have more than fifteen years of clinical experience working with diverse adults and youth.

Hello, I'm Aneil Parmar, a mental health occupational therapist. Occupational therapy is all about helping people live their lives to the fullest. We work with individuals facing mental health challenges to develop personalized strategies that make everyday activities more manageable and enjoyable. Whether it's finding solutions for stress management, building coping skills, or enhancing daily routines, our goal is to empower individuals to overcome obstacles and thrive in their daily lives. I'm passionate about supporting mental well-being, and occupational therapy is a dynamic and client-centered approach to achieve just that.

A happy life is not experienced when everything is perfect, but when everything is in balance. I am committed to supporting you throughout your difficult experiences, whether it is a situational stress, or one that has been a long term concern. The goal is to assist you in moving closer towards becoming the best version of yourself! Many clients access services for support in managing anxiety and depression symptoms, problematic substance use, medical model cannabis use therapy, harm reduction, relationship concerns, and / or in understanding how their body responds to stressful, or even traumatic, experiences.

​Life can feel chaotic and uncomfortable at times. I appreciate the opportunity to work with individuals, couples and family systems to make positive sustainable shifts. Engaging in therapy can be a challenge as the road is not always straightforward. I have confidence to be able to work with you on your specific goals and find meaningful change in the process. Utilizing evidence-based practice we will form an intention focusing on discipline and clearly defined treatment goals to give you the positive outcomes you are looking for. Life can be a grind at times and I believe in shifting gears:)

Do you ask yourself “what’s the point”, feel exhausted, stuck, alone, overwhelmed, stressed, isolated or withdrawn? Do you think to yourself, I’m not in control, not good enough, or I'm a failure? Do you lack focus & concentration or have a loss of interest or pleasure in life? Do memories of your childhood, a recent loss, or an accident interfering in your activities of daily living? If you connected to any of the above and are looking for something different, better, or more, we can work together to create a treatment plan offering you hope, to help guide you, and support you in having a more functioning, healthier & happier life.

I work with a variety of psychological issues including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, OCD, PTSD, and ADHD. My general approach to therapy integrates multiple theories, with an overall emphasis on evidence-based and feedback-informed treatments. I draw upon primarily CBT, ACT, and client-centered approaches. I take a flexible approach with my clients and we can move at your pace. I place a high emphasis on having productive sessions and ensuring clients have a valuable experience in treatment.

I am a Registered Psychologist who is skilled at working with individuals who are presenting with challenging or high risk behaviours (e.g. sexual harm, aggression). Although these are specific areas of interest, I am open to discussing any potential issues or concerns you may have in order to help you overcome whatever challenges you face. I am particularly interested in working with people who are contemplating life changes (e.g. relationships, careers) and would like help to put their ideas into action.

I have a passion for helping individuals facing challenges that disrupt their daily lives. I bring extensive experience to supporting Veterans, First Responders, and Emergency Personnel. I specialize in helping individuals overcome the devastating effects of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder. Whether it stems from combat experiences, emergency responses, or other life events. My therapeutic services span a broad spectrum of issues, including Trauma & PTSD, Addiction, Disordered Eating Behaviors, Depression, Anxiety, and various other concerns.
