Therapists in T6H

Life is beautiful...but it can also be hard at times. You can feel proud that you have the self-caring courage to reach out for some help and guidance. It can feel so good to have someone in your corner, helping you to feel happier with yourself and how you are showing up in your life. That is my specialty! I love helping my clients shift negative self-beliefs; remove life blocks; get unstuck; feel more confident and esteemed; heal painful emotions and experiences; develop more effective living/coping skills; work through dreaded fear and anxiety; feel more connected in relationships... and enjoy life a lot more!

My passion and experience is supporting children, youth and adults from diverse backgrounds including First Nation communities. I bring a wealth of international experience in the field of trauma informed mental health interventions with different cultures. I have worked and trained in various parts of the world including the United Kingdom, Southern Africa and Canada.

Hi there, I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with a Master of Counselling (MC). I work for Ascend Psychology Ltd. I enjoy working with children, teens and adults dealing with various mental health concerns, including: anxiety; depression; mood disorders; grief and loss; self-esteem; trauma and, relationship problems. I would love to work with you and help make life more manageable. You know yourself the best and have the answers within and I'm here to help draw those out of you in a collaborative approach. I have experience as a school therapist and would be happy to work with kids on emotions, dealing with loss and anxiety.

Is your previous trauma impacting your ability to be at peace with yourself? Are you struggling in new relationships due to previous trauma? I am passionate about helping survivors of narcissistic abuse and sex trafficking shine with their resiliency by providing trauma-focused approaches to healing. Is your child or adolescent struggling with their sexual and/or gender identity? I also provide an affirmative, non-judgmental, and open environment for youth to explore issues related to transitions and pilot their journey towards authenticity.

I work with individuals struggle with anxiety and depression, as well as couples, to create meaningful change and joyful connection. I believe that all people have the capacity to heal, grow, and change in profound and exciting ways. You may feel stuck, lost, alone or unsure how to move forward in life or your relationship. What ever you are dealing with there is hope. With the rights support change is possible! Counselling can be an important step forward, and this process is supported when you feel fully seen, heard and accepted by another. A strong, supportive, and safe therapeutic relationship is the foundation of this work.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck or burned out? Whether you are looking to make some changes in your life, are struggling with a difficult situation, or are just looking for a safe and supportive place to talk, I can help. Clients describe me as warm, supportive and approachable. Within the context of a safe and caring relationship, we will work together to help you find insight and tools in order to make positive, lasting changes in your life.

I love helping clients from all walks of life create and reach goals, heighten awareness around cognitive distortions, increase confidence and envision their preferred futures. I do have a passion for supporting First Responders, as my background is in Criminal Justice, specifically within Corrections.

I offer support in behaviour management and parenting . I believe there is always a solution. I have training in Circle of Security (COS) attachment based parenting. COS provides an in depth look at parenting and relationship issues. I also have Incredible Years training which is helpful to offer basic behaviour strategies.

If you're struggling with life transitions and looking for someone to help you navigate the ebb and flow, I might be the right therapist for you. I guide people in finding their resilience through the hard parts, and connecting with their joy in the sweet bits. My approach to therapy is collaborative and I work with you to identify your goals using somatic and talk therapy to help us in our journey, with some opportunities for expressive therapies along the way.

Are you a high achieving perfectionist that just can't say no? Does self-criticism dominate your thoughts? Are you emotionally exhausted, burnt out, and so anxious you can't sleep at night? If so, therapy with me might be a good choice for you! Currently I am accepting new clients for online counselling with direct billing to Alberta Blue Cross, VA/Medavie, and Greenshield.

Has your life taken a turn you did not expect? Do you feel like you have lost yourself in the process? When we lose the sense of who we are, our identity, our calling, we lose the connection to our motivation, passion and values, and this can endanger our jobs, our health, and the relationships with those who are most important to us. This is a lonely and scary place to be, but there is help. That's what I am here for:)

Are you feeling stuck with lingering bad feelings? Replaying painful experiences in your mind? Living your life in shame and guilt? I am a Registered Psychologist with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta and additional training in evidence-based therapies: Emotion Focused Therapy, EMDR, Prolonged Exposure Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I specialize in emotion-based issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, shame, low self-esteem, relationship issues and grief. I welcome and respect individuals of all different backgrounds, experiences and values.

I work with adults and couples who have feelings of anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. I have worked with people who have experienced trauma, betrayal, addiction issues, grief and loss, and other life transitions. If you are feeling overwhelmed or burnt out in trying to cope with negative experiences, therapy can be beneficial.

Welcome! You have made the first (and often scariest and most challenging) step toward starting therapy: finding a therapist! I am here to encourage you on this journey. Whether you are looking to improve your mental health, tackle some tricky issues in your life that seem to keep you in a cycle, or just want to talk to someone who can offer you support, you are in the right place. Rooted in a client-centred approach, I offer a supportive, nonjudgmental, and, at times, humorous environment to facilitate optimal growth for my clients. Are you looking to make a change, but you're not sure exactly what, or how? Let's find out together.

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist and have been supporting children, teens and adults in a few positions over 12 years. With this experience, I have grown a love of supporting clients that have experienced perinatal grief and mood disorders and parenting struggles/transitions, in addition to other concerns such as grief, relationship issues, and depression, anxiety and stress. My clients can expect empathy with a dose of practicality, humour and honesty. My passion is attachment-focused parenting. I understand that parenting is the most important/difficult job out there, it is my honour to help.

In my role as therapist, I will strive to help you gain a greater understanding of yourself. This includes an awareness about the underlying reasons for why you think, feel, and act in the way you do. From a place of clarity, people often feel better able to make healthy and conscious choices, as opposed to operating out of habit or programming. I often work with clients to address unresolved traumas, which can be large or small. These traumas can, even years later, continue to impact us in ways we are not fully aware of. With couples, I specialize in infidelity, communication difficulties, and growing apart.

If you hope to get to the root of an issue and begin making steps toward improving your or your child's situation, I can help. I believe in the potential of each and every person who walks through my door. As Director of Little Oaks Psychology, I oversee a team of talented therapists. Through assessment work, I apply a strengths-based and positive psychology approach to my process. I specialise in ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, and complex behavioural problems (e.g., self-harm, childhood OCD, and oppositionality). I strive to empower my clients with self-knowledge and insight. I work mindfully to empower clients in growth and resilience.
