Welcome to Serenity Mindset Counselling. I am a practicing social worker and hold a Masters degree specializing in clinical practice. I work with seniors, people with chronic diseases, and young adults. I have an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology/Physical Literacy and worked with youth and children in sports programming.

I believe all individuals come to therapy with their own unique perspectives, values, beliefs, and coping abilities. I use these experiences as well as current research in the field to draw from approaches that best match each client’s needs, strengths and goals for therapy. My therapeutic approaches include; play and art therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy, person-centered and family-systems.

Let's face it, life can feel unbearable at times and relationships are emotionally stirring. If this is your first time working with a psychologist or not, this is likely not a high moment for you if you're reading this. Rarely do clients start a session with, "Derrick, I feel really good. My life is great! Things couldn't be better!" The reality is you're struggling, in pain, things are not going well for you or someone you care about, and I have entered the picture somewhere along the way. That you trust me or anyone else enough to connect with you in that struggle is tough to do, and a responsibility I do not take lightly.

Life transitions, daily stressors, trauma, and mental illnesses can negatively influence the way we think, feel, and behave. These factors can cause us to feel "stuck" in old habits and patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that no longer serve us. I recognize that when we are stuck, it is difficult to make that first step towards change and reach out for support. Hence, I acknowledge you for making the first step into finding what works best for you. I understand that you want to take charge of your mental and emotional pain so that you can unlock your utmost potential.

I am passionate about helping and supporting adolescents and adults through life's many obstacles, such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem, and job/academic performance issues. I work with Clients to identify their strengths and resources so they can use them to manage problems and find solutions so that each client can discover and reach their preferred outcome. I work with clients collaboratively, which means we both bring unique skills to the counselling session and work together towards the client's preferred outcome.

A warm welcome as you take the first step in your wellness journey! Are you tired of feeling exhausted and burnt out? Anxious or Depressed? Struggling with executive functioning and/or ADHD? Struggles with parenting? I work with youth, adults and parents with anxiety, stress, burnout, low mood, depression, ADHD, communication and child specific concerns. We enjoy supporting individuals hoping to increase life satisfaction, build better coping mechanisms and navigate life a little easier. My promise to you is to work with you to develop a therapy plan that is going to work for your life and your goals!

Ever since I can recall, I've been intrigued by the complexity of the human mind. My journey in psychology began as an undergraduate, where I delved into the foundational theories and the more I learned, the more I realized that psychology is not just a subject; it's a lens where we can understand ourselves and others. I believe that every individual's unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to psychological well-being. My approach is deeply personalized, focusing on your specific needs, goals, and strengths. I work collaboratively with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your values and aspirations.

Have you had an experience such as medical trauma, past experiences, or present circumstances that have caused you to be hypervigilant, reactive and having difficulty sleeping? Are you having issues with your child's behavior or dealing with similar patterns of conflict with your partner. At our practice we work with children, teens, adults and couples to help you develop awareness, make sense of your experience, and help you feel a sense of relief and peace.

Do you experience overwhelming emotions & wish you had the skills to cope more effectively through life’s challenges? As a Registered Psychologist I offer support in assisting clients in seeking the changes they desire. I utilize Solution Focused & Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in my practice. I provide counselling services to adults & adolescents presenting with a variety of mental health concerns including: anxiety, depression, self-esteem/confidence, stress/anger management, parenting, divorce/separation, healthy communication/boundary setting, life transitions & developing effective coping skills. Morning/afternoon/evening avail.

I work with children, youth, and adults who are looking to understand their unique strengths and challenges through psychological assessment. Psychological assessments can investigate Giftedness, Learning Disorders, ADHD, and Autism. I also work with children, youth, adults and families providing counselling which is action oriented, targeting mood concerns (eg.anxiety/depression), parenting stress, major life transitions and grief and loss. I integrate CBT, ACT and SFT in my approach.

You do not need to be an artist to benefit from art therapy! Art therapy is the process of discovering and expressing yourself creatively through a variety of mediums. I work with your feelings and beliefs about your current state and support you in creating a way to maximize your daily functioning. Art therapy is appropriate for all ages, genders, and a broad range of concerns, including: connecting to the self; identity; life transitions; relational, school, or career difficulties; attention/focus; goal setting and achievement; stressful or worrisome feelings or behavioral patterns; and coping with grief and loss.

Accessing counselling is a brave first step towards becoming the person you want to be. I'm here you assist you on your journey. I believe that you are the expert on yourself and I am here to provide tools and resources which are helpful to you. My goal is to create a safe and collaborative space through which you can gain greater self-awareness. I draw from various modalities such as mindfulness, culture-infused, DBT, and solution-focused interventions. I specialize in exploring neurodiversity and working with youth. I also offer assessments for all ages.

Let me support you in a journey of connection and discovery. Time spent together is about you. A place to have a voice to explore options, solutions, intuition, connections, spirituality, and more. Allow me to hold a safe space for you, whether in person or online.

As a Registered Psychologist and Registered Play Therapist, I come with over ten years of experience working with children, youth, adults, and families. I offer both in person and virtual services from Spruce Grove, AB and virtual services to the NWT. I have clinical/private, school-based, home, community and group home experience. Many of the children I work with present with trauma, attachment concerns, anxiety, depression, behavioural challenges and difficulties with regulation. Common concerns expressed from adults include stress management, life transitions, anxiety, depression, work-life balance and marital or family issues.

Do you wake up in the morning already feeling overwhelmed, and the day hasn’t started yet? Many adults go through times when they feel stuck, unfulfilled, and have difficulties coping with stress. This can be a very painful experience. Unfortunately, many people try to cope with these challenges alone and in unhealthy ways (overworking, toxic relationships, emotional eating, etc.). This can lead to a feeling of a lost sense of self and affect all areas of their life.

I am passionate about working with older adults as they navigate addressing challenges arising in their lives. I fundamentally work from attachment-based approaches, recognizing the immense impact of our early childhood experiences, traumas, and ruptured relationships throughout our lives. Working with older adult, senior, elder, or geriatric individuals is important to me as loneliness and emotional distress highly correlates with early cognitive decline and negative physical health outcomes. Through looking at the impact of our emotions on our well-being, we can create space for meaningful, secure and safe relationships.
