Therapists in Edmonton, AB

I help clients shift from just surviving into thriving; realigning with who and how they want to be instead of being hijacked by outdated narratives as a result of past experiences. My focus is on creating safe trauma-informed spaces and inspiring a compassionate curiosity about "who am I?" "How did I get to this point?" "What else might be possible?". I have always been fascinated with how our experiences shape us and how we may discover meaning and inspiration. During this quest I have worked as a strength & conditioning coach, yoga teacher, and counsellor and these experiences have uniquely shaped how I show up as a therapist.

Life experiences can hinder our emotional, mental, or spiritual growth, making it difficult to move forward in an effective way. My experience has been working with teens, men, and women and their issues with trauma, addictions, OCD, eating disorders, and anxiety. I am passionate about helping my clients understand how the brain works and taking a strength-based approach to developing skills. The research focus of my thesis was on resiliency in Indigenous adults with FASD. Together, we can find the power within you.

Helping people and making an impact in the world through spreading kind connection and engaging with empathy is important to me, and I am honoured to sit with individuals as they navigate challenges and grow along their healing journeys. I am client-centred, warm, accepting, and empathetic in my work with clients. I believe authentic connections rooted in kindness and unconditional understanding can create success for therapeutic healing. In my capacity as a student intern therapist, I have gained experience in areas of childhood trauma, relational issues, depression, anxiety, stress, body image, and domestic violence.

Choosing a therapist can be an intimidating task. Whether you are looking for a check in, or to make major or minor changes, I would be honored to support you in your journey. I aim to be as intentional as possible in my sessions. Helping you identify your goals, gain a further understanding of the barriers you face and where they developed and make a tangible plan to get you to where you want to be. I strive to create a safe and comfortable environment for my clients, with a splash of humor while we navigate your experiences and emotions. You can find me on the Power Psychology Website where I offer a free 15 minute consultation.

Are you someone that is feeling challenged, overwhelmed, stuck or hopeful for change? If you said yes to one, or all of the those things I am eager to help you develop a path forward.

Imagine what it would feel like to live a life free from the pressures of stress, a life you choose for yourself. A life that makes you happy, focused on what really matters to you, and what you want to achieve.

Life can be complex, decisions can be difficult, and stress can become debilitating. However, the overwhelming aspects of life can be intentionally navigated, and even leveraged towards better outcomes. If you're feeling buried by the stressors and complexities of life, it may be time to seek some therapeutic insights.

Cornerstone Counselling is a not-for-profit agency committed to providing professional, affordable, and accessible counselling and mental health services for all Albertans. We offer subsidies and a sliding scale for rates, based upon financial need, to ensure that our counselling services are affordable. We provide secular and faith-based counselling in-person, virtually, and by phone.

Lunch hour, afternoon/ evening & Saturday availability. Easy online booking. Counseling can be a slice of time for us to bring attention to what you’re feeling and, given what you’ve already experienced, notice what you're now ready to experience from here. My practice is rooted in nurturing secure connection with self and others. I work collaboratively supporting feelings of security, purpose & fulfillment, alongside a titrated release of anxiety/ fear. I am perpetually intrigued at how things can shift naturally and feel surprisingly easier as the wisdom in our body/ nervous system is effectively included in healing conversation.

I work with anxiety, addiction (substance use) and chronic pain. Sometimes the little things become too much and you find you're overreacting or panicking. Maybe you can't get a situation out of your head and you're overthinking or stressed about it. Maybe you tired of numbing the pain or avoiding your problems cause it isn't helping. Sometimes our motivation is to stop passing on unhealthy patterns to our kids. Maybe you want to control your emotions so they don't control you. If you want to work on the roots of addiction and the stress and anxiety that is always brewing below the surface of chronic pain, we could be a fit.

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.

Talking to us feels like a relaxed conversation with someone you know. We're trained to help you feel safe/at ease while asking questions to help draw out what's challenging you.

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.

Are you a parent of a neurodiverse child seeking support? Do you feel frustrated by cultural shock, adapting to a new reality, or navigating family or workplace turmoil? Are depression, anxiety, mood swings, or anger challenges on your plate? Is your child struggling socially or academically? Are you? Do you crave being heard, accepted, and supported? Are you ready to maximize your strengths while learning to accommodate the areas of need? Would you like to master the dance of interpersonal communication using your emotions as a compass in navigating your relationships? Will you explore your past and present to design your future?

​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:)

As a registered psychologist and having been in private practice for 14 years, I have had the privilege to meet and work with many wonderful couples, families and individuals. I strive to establish a solid rapport with clients in a comfortable environment. I have been told that clients appreciate my professional and direct approach that is not overly formal and allows for humour when appropriate. I use a biopsychosocial approach and incorporate several therapeutic modalities. I work to not only focus on managing symptoms, but getting down to the root cause of what is getting in the way of being able to achieve one’s goals.

You are not alone. At REACH we build real connections with real people walking through our door. Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing-especially the humor part-and combined together, they create a healing force! We know that sometimes, life is just hard. It can come out of nowhere, but know that counselling helps during the tough times. It helps us endure when we don’t think we can, helps us recover from what we’ve survived, teaches us how to gain insight about who we are and find our way back to "our normal" when we feel lost and alone. We are here for you.

I take a holistic approach to practice, considering how our mind, emotions, body and spirit come together to frame our relationship to the world. I believe mental health to be not only the removal of challenges, but the creation of an active sense of well-being. So, in sessions together, I seek to focus not only on difficulties, but to consider what could be done to increase your resilience and sense of well-being. How we define health can vary widely, and some paths I tend to take focus on gratitude, mindfulness, self-compassion and vulnerability.
