Therapists in Edmonton, AB

I'm a Registered Provisional Psychologist, and I have experience and a special interest in working with preschool and school-aged children (ages 4-18). I believe that children learn self-regulation, problem-solving skills, and resiliency as they experience safe and secure attachments. I have received additional training/certification in Therapeutic Play Skills, Circle of Security Parenting, Introductory Theraplay & MIM, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Compassionate Inquiry– Dr. Gabor Mate, and Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST).

Navigating life’s problems is like crossing an untamed wilderness. Unsure how to proceed, we venture on, stumble, and eventually make a way through. With enough time our uncertain trail becomes so well worn that walking it is second nature. Sadly, some worn paths don’t lead to the life we wanted. We feel disconnected from our lives, often irritable, in conflict with loved ones, and slipping into self-destructive habits. Making new paths can be daunting, yet doing so fosters feeling in control of yourself and your life, experiencing more connection in your relationships, and finding enduring answers to seemingly unsolvable problems.

As a trauma specialist, I have supported individuals through diverse life experiences, including traumatic exposures (childhood sexual abuse, domestic violence, grief and loss, depression, and anxiety) for more than 25 years. Through a client centered lens of support and encouragement, I have worked with individuals in varying stages of life span, including children, youth, adults and seniors. I value the courage, commitment, and authenticity each client brings to the table and am honoured to be a part of that healing journey. I believe in the ability to heal and approach my client interactions with love, support, and humour.

Hello, and welcome. Life comes with many challenges. At times, we are able to manage these challenges on our own and sometimes we need some help. I am here to help with issues such as anxiety, depression, family conflict, parenting, stress and burnout, grief and loss, trauma, relationship difficulties, effective communication, life transitions (such as children leaving home or moving into retirement) and adjustment issues (such as losing a job or the breakdown of a relationship). I also offer skills training in parenting, discipline, mindfulness, communication, cognitive modification and emotional management.

I am a holistic, creative and somatic oriented counselling therapist who helps clients gently move deeper into their mental health and wellness journey. I typically work with clients to soothe and support their nervous system, integrate and heal trauma, find emotional regulation, heal from grief and loss, and rekindle a sense of agency in life. Whether you're experiencing cognitive, emotional or physical symptoms, my hope is that our work together can offer you a soft place to land and find solace, as well as a chance to metabolize past hurts, and generate new possibilities for ease and agency in your life.

If you're facing emotional and behavioural challenges, dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma, I am here to help. You deserve more than temporary relief; you deserve a transformative journey toward peace, resilience, and self-awareness. Let's work together to develop healthier coping mechanisms and understand patterns hindering your growth. I'm committed to guiding you toward a life where you can effectively navigate your emotions and relationships

I specialize in helping people who experience depression, anxiety, low self-confidence, and painful feelings in current or past significant relationships. My work involves assisting people to make sense of their emotional reactions and supporting them to use this information to make wise decisions for their life. At other times, I help people alleviate their painful emotions by using techniques that change unhelpful emotion states to more invigorating emotion states. I believe in practicing as a culturally competent therapist, striving to be knowledgeable, open and respectful of the cultural beliefs and practices of all people.

I offer personalized therapy that works. I'm committed to helping you feel better, achieve your goals, and overcome any challenge, be it intrusive thoughts, painful and intense emotions, or posttraumatic stress from issues like combat or sexual trauma, accidents, abuse, assault, death, or suicide. I work with couples and adults dealing with trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), anxiety, panic, depression, grief, ADHD, and relationship issues. I focus on supporting couples and adults within military, police, correctional, emergency medical, healthcare, and fire rescue services confronting challenges like PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

As an attachment focused and trauma informed therapist, I work with individuals and couples to identify how traumatic experiences, grief and loss, experiencing neglect or abuse, and other distressing experiences may be keeping you stuck in a pattern of distress. Unresolved trauma can maintain feelings of depression, anxiety, self criticism, difficulty regulating or expressing your emotions, difficulty in feeling close with others, as well as difficulty in setting boundaries. It can also contribute to PTSD, phobias, disordered eating, and a number of other mental health challenges.

I am a Registered Psychologist and have experience working in the human services field for the past nine years in various capacities, which has helped prepare me to work with a diverse population. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and families, with varying mental health diagnoses, including autism, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), addictions, and trauma. I gain perspective and insight into the client’s lived experiences by hearing their stories and recognizing their capacity to be the expert in their own lives.

Kari strongly believes in the power of human connection and works to cultivate a therapeutic relationship that is safe and transformative.

Kari recognizes that as human beings, we are all interconnected and inevitably face similar hurts, fears, and anxieties. Kari endeavours to learn about your challenges with empathy, develop a personalized treatment plan that is meaningful to you, and offer compassionate support as you move toward your goals.

Welcome! I'm so glad you found your way here. My name is Mateo Huezo and I'm a Latin Patlacheh (2 Spirit) person who works with folks across Alberta.

I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist with experience in both hospital and private practice settings. I believe a holistic approach to client care is important to promote well-being. I consider physical, mental, developmental, behavioral, interpersonal, social, and spiritual factors to understand your needs, to personalize techniques/coping strategies, and to promote personal growth and healing. I work to develop an accepting and understanding environment to help you to become more aware of attitudes, thoughts, and beliefs that are negatively affecting your mood, behaviours, and physiology.

I wholeheartedly believe in the positive changes counselling can make. A caring, supportive professional who listens without judgement, advocates for you and keeps you accountable, can see you through the big and small struggles we inevitably encounter. Using warmth, authenticity and humour I aim to partner with you as you experience change and growth. I value inclusivity and feminism and welcome clients from all genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and relationship arrangements.

Welcome! I am a Yorkville University Master’s Level Counselling Intern Therapist at Solace Psychology & Wellness. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from the University of Alberta. For the past 13 years I have worked as a Registered Nurse with an array of individuals in varying environments, including mental health, addictions and emergency. These experiences solidified the idea that everyone has their own battles (internal and external) that they are struggling with, which increased my awareness of being present, respectful, and nonjudgmental to those I interact with.

I am a compassionate and non-judgmental Registered Provisional Psychologist with over 12 years of experience. In therapy, clients are able to set achievable goals by discussing their personal issues along with the challenging and complex circumstances they are struggling with. Together, we work towards these goals using an Integrative Psychotherapy approach that combines Cognitive-Behavioural, Acceptance & Commitment, Internal Family System, Dialectical Behavioural, Psychodynamic and Gestalt Therapies, and Clinical Hypnotherapy.
