Therapists in Edmonton, AB

Welcome! Let's face it, therapy isn't fun or easy: it's about problem solving! I am a registered psychologist and have been working in the field of psychology for over 15 years. I work with a diverse clientele with a wide range of concerns but what I have truly recognized is the importance of relationships to our satisfaction in life. Specializing in relationships means I work with couples and individuals who are struggling with their closest and most important relationships We have a biological need to connect, to belong, and our close relationships fill this need.

I've worked in a range of community settings including inner city and some rural communities, Child Welfare, addictions treatment and with school boards. I've worked in a number of programs from family support, housing, mental health and addictions, providing crisis and supportive counselling, short and long-term support for adolescents, youth and adults, couples, First Nations, rural and ethno-cultural communities. I have also taught social work at the post secondary level and am up-to-date on current practice & theoretical perspectives.

I bring empathy, warmth, and collaboration as a therapist and aim to create meaningful connections through the safe exploration of experiences shaping your life. I have worked extensively with anxiety, depression, trauma (including childhood trauma), sexual assault/abuse, grief/loss, relationship/family issues, stress, as well as chronic and acute health issues. I also have a heartfelt interest, and post-graduate training, in working with individuals and couples impacted by infertility and perinatal/postpartum mental health. I bring over 15 years of experience and work with adults (individuals and couples) and teens.

You feel overwhelmed and defeated. Regardless of how hard you try, you feel like you aren’t good enough. You struggle to live up to the expectations that you have for yourself and that everyone seems to have for you. These feelings may show up in your relationships with partner(s), family, or friends; in your career; or even in how you relate to your body. Maybe the seeds of self-doubt were planted by a well-meaning person in your life. Maybe they come from your social media feed or societal expectations to be perfect. You wish you could let go of the pressure and live a more fulfilling and authentic life.

Accessing over 15 years of education and experience I provide counselling services to children, adolescents, couples, families and individuals. Some of the areas I have experience in include relational issues, addictions (impact on family members), anxiety, anger management, depression, parenting, grief and loss, stress, school problems, life transitions, workplace stress, separation and divorce, personal growth, self-esteem, co-dependency, and trauma. Each person's experience is unique and I value working collaboratively with each person to create meaningful therapeutic goals. Through empathy and understanding I support people to discover what they need in order to take the first small step towards healing, change, and growth.

Hi, I'm Brittany and I work with individuals & couples/partners seeking support while navigating life challenges. I have experience working with mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, relationships, grief/loss; & concerns associated with gender (transgender exploration; affirmation; identity), sexuality (2SLGBTQ+; BDSM/kink identity exploration), reproduction (fertility; pregnancy; post-partum), ethical non-monogamy & alternative relationship styles, & religious trauma (trauma recovery; folks who either want to transition out of their religion or who want to maintain their religious identity).

I am a Registered Psychologist and have been supporting children, teens and adults in a few positions over 15 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.

Are you looking for someone who understands the intricacies of experiencing harm at the hands of a religious institution/high control group? Someone who knows the impacts of sexual violence? Maybe you’re struggling to exist within a world that prioritizes harmful systems, profits, and power over people. Maybe you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed– as someone with lived experience of mental illness, I know how hard it can be to sort out what you’re needing. Regardless of what you’re struggling with, if you’re looking for someone who will non-judgmentally sit with and laugh with you, and accept you just as you are, I might be a good fit!

Life poses many challenges. Sometimes we are able to manage and cope with life's challenges quite well. At other times, challenges become overwhelming and turn into problems that affect our work, relationships and overall outlook on life. I am a dedicated and experienced therapist with the belief that problems are a natural part of life and when dealt with in healthy ways can provide opportunities for growth and adaptation. My approach is collaborative in nature and based on the assumption that we all have the inner resources required to deal with problems and live happy, healthy and meaningful lives.

I work with individuals, couples and groups who are impacted by grief, loss, depression, anxiety and trauma/PTSD. I strive to work collaboratively with individuals to uncover their strengths, express their feelings and work to adjust to challenging circumstances. I have additional training in perinatal mental health specializing in: infertility, IUI's, IVF, 3rd party consultations for donor, and surrogacy. I also work with individuals that have experienced miscarriage, a baby born still, any medical trauma/any type of birth trauma, PPA/PPD and NICU experiences.

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.

With authenticity and a sense of humour, Cassandra utilizes a multi-faceted approach in her treatment of both couples and individuals. Cassandra incorporates the use of empirically validated and evidence based approaches, and primarily treats from an experiential process-based lens. Advocacy and psychoeducation are instrumental in her treatment approach, and she aims to ensure that every client feels educated and empowered in their journey.

I am a Senior Clinical/counselling and Forensic Psychologist. I am also an AASECT certified (Diplomate) Sex Therapist and Supervisor, an Associate in Sex Education and a Clinical Sexologist. I provide psychological/forensic assessment services and counselling to adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Although I use numerous psychological approaches to achieve client success, my foundation is in client-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy within a systemic model that focuses on pushing through issues for growth and success.

Sometimes we hit a place in our life journey where we realize we aren't where we want to be. In these moments, sitting down with someone to sort through where we actually want to be, and then working through the issues getting in the way of us reaching these goals can allow us to tranform our lives. Whether the issues are within your relationship, work, family, or things that happened in your past I would be honored to work with you to live your best life.

You want a LIFE more worth LIVING! Lets create that together! At all times, we are always doing the best we can with what we have: the knowledge, skills, experience and the information we posses in the moment. But, we often judge our "past" selves (and others in our past) from where we are at "today". This can create problems. With guidance, we can learn how our own (and others) past decisions, actions and experiences can create problems for us today. With understanding, we can learn to live more effectively! I invite you to join me for this journey!!

As the founding Director of Creating Solutions Inc. my practice reflects the Agency mission statement, "Creating strategic solutions through client capacities". My belief is, the client and their capacities are at the centre of co-constructing creative solutions to the various problems that bring them into therapy. My direct communication style is effective with clients who have been stuck in their interpersonal conflicts.

Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing - especially the humor part! Which is why they are benchmarks of my clinical practice. Combined together, the healing force created is a 'game changer' in people's lives. My approach to psychotherapy is person centered (congrats, you are unique! Your therapy should be too), grounded in attachment theory (relationships are our friend! Don't argue...everyone needs a friend) and developmental psychology (we all go through life changes, change suucks, but it's unavoidable). All this guides our path to wellness. Heads up - standard credential speech ahead...

It isn’t necessary to stay stuck (or alone) in painful situations or challenging circumstances. Therapy/counselling provides an opportunity to uncover and discover new understandings, strengths and resiliencies in self (and others). Therapy provides a safe space to develop action plans to explore difficult life and relationship (couple, family/parenting, separation) issues or work/career concerns. Therapy also provides a safe space to explore and develop skills in managing mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, OCD, ODD, etc. No problem is too big for therapy. Clinical Supervision is also available.

The counselling process can take on many forms, whether it's about self-exploration and understanding, emotional processing, problem solving, healing, venting or feeling better about yourself and your relationships in general. It can be about drastic shifts or about minor adjustments. There is no 'one size fits all' in therapy! What clients have in common is that they are brave, willing to be vulnerable at times and have a desire to make a change in their lives, whether functional or emotional in nature.

I believe every client has the wisdom and resilience they need to live meaningful and fulfilled lives. I work with adults and couples to explore and understand the beliefs that guide them in their relationships and behaviour. I see my role as a supportive scaffold which stands to enable my clients to embrace the vulnerability needed to heal. Each client's journey is informed by their mind and body; I incorporate information from these as we navigate the therapy process. In therapy I focus on issues of existence, including growth towards self-awareness and self-acceptance, and meaningful behavioural change.

Hi there! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. My area of interest is couples counselling and sex therapy. I believe our intimate relationships and sexuality are important factors in our health and well-being and I am passionate about creating a safe space for curiosity, exploration, and discovery in these areas. This may include; relationship issues, boundaries and communication, low sexual desire/drive, sexual pain, orgasm difficulties, erectile dysfunction, sexual self-esteem, and confidence. Other areas of counselling include; anxiety, depression, self-esteem, life transitions, stress, and emotional regulation.

I am a registered psychologist working in Edmonton. I work primarily with individual adults and couples, but I have experience with children, and families as well. I have over 6 years experience working with complex clients with intricate problems and I have provided mentorship and supervision to student therapists. My main areas of focus are relationships, anxiety, depression, and trauma, as well as men & women's issues, which covers a wide variety of topics, such as, but not limited to: sexual abuse & trauma, sexual identity & orientation, intimacy issues, infidelity, pornography addiction and sexual disorders.

I do not take a person’s decision to enter therapy lightly and strive to provide a therapy experience that is safe, genuine, and straightforward so people are empowered to make necessary changes towards their full potential. I truly believe that life is the best teacher and that clients are the experts in their own journey but sometimes we need guidance through the difficult parts. If our therapy is part of your journey, you can be assured the knowledge I share with you is grounded in the current literature and my interventions are based on the most recent research evidence. I welcome adults and couples from diverse backgrounds.

Working through life's difficulties or personal issues on your own can be overwhelming, that's where counselling comes in. My goal is to create a safe, warm place where we can work collaboratively to achieve your therapeutic goals and reconnect with the best version of yourself.
