Family Therapy in Edmonton, AB

“We’re all too vulnerable to face the hugeness of life alone. It doesn’t make sense to do that… we need each other” (Sue Johnson). I believe that meaningful connection with ourselves and others is central to our wellbeing. Unfortunately, painful past experiences and unhelpful patterns can sometimes get in the way. Relationship struggles can erode our self-worth and leave us feeling anxious, depressed, exploited, and alone. They can also create ripples that disrupt other important parts of our lives – our health, work, and kids. You're here because you’re wanting change. I'm here to provide a safe space for your journey to change.

Hi there! My name is Savneet. Building a relationship based on safety and trust is the foundation of my work. I work from an attachment-based lens, which means that I focus on understanding and addressing the impact of early relationships on individuals’ emotional well-being. My goal is to create a warm and welcoming space where you can feel safe to explore your experiences. I also incorporate humour, as it can help foster connection, promote resilience, and contribute to the healing process

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.

As a therapist, one of my passions is working with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, anger, relationship issues, and suicidal ideation. Many people feel that they are alone in their struggles. I believe my role as your therapist is to remind you that you are not alone, normalize how you feel, and provide helpful tools along the way. My approach is solution focused, goal-oriented, strength-based, and trauma-informed. However, my main focus is building a strong therapeutic relationship that will help you feel safe, heard, and understood.

I am a Registered Psychologist with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field.

We assist clients who are experiencing disordered eating, challenges with body image and eating disorders such as anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, binge eating disorder and avoidant restrictive food intake disorder.

This could include a change in preoccupation with weight and/or food, changing strict food rules, breaking free from diet culture, and building a positive body image. We accept clients through self referral. We have locations in West Edmonton, South Edmonton and Downtown Edmonton as well as Southwest Calgary, Alberta.

I work with already-stable individuals who are looking for more in their lives: more peace, more freedom, more happiness, more fulfillment, more effectiveness, deeper relationships, more meaning. I work with them in any of their life contexts: home, work, family, relationships, friends, spirituality. My clients want to be even better human beings and live more fully aligned with their deepest values. They know there's a "next level" and are looking to build their capacity to get there. They want a trusted partner to assist them on this journey.

As a certified Child Life Specialist, I specialize in paediatric psychosocial care and emotional safety. In both healthcare and community settings, certified Child Life Specialists help infants, children, youth and families cope with the stress and uncertainty of acute and chronic illness, injury, trauma, disability, loss and bereavement. In the school system, I focus on challenging emotional behaviours for children with a multitude of diagnoses (ADHD, ODD, GAD, etc.) from pre school to junior high.

Are you struggling with emotional and physical reactivity that you cannot seem to change? Have you experienced trauma that continues to impact you? Do you feel trapped by what feels like insurmountable challenges that you have not yet learned how to cope with and overcome? Anxiety, depression, physical ailments, parenting challenges, relational difficulties, grief and loss, and so many more areas of suffering can pull us away from the life that we long to live. My aim is to support you through the challenges you are facing, equip you with new tools and strategies, and support you to move towards the life that you want to be living.

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.

I am a Registered Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work with a Clinical specialization. I’m originally from a small town in New Brunswick and completed my studies in several Provinces across Canada. I also resided abroad for over a year and gained further experience in the field. I bring knowledge from multiple settings in the field with significant experience from children and families who have experienced child abuse or navigated through the Child and Family Services system, adoption and post adoption supports.

I'm a good fit for people who are seeking affirmation and encouragement. Therapy can be a space to work on building the life you want, taking new steps: coming out, being authentic, shedding harmful ideas, changing relationships with family members, improving your relationships, building your community. Many of my clients have connections to LGBTQ and two-spirit communities and issues. You have the wisdom of your own experience. As a therapist I am a safe partner in gaining confidence, stating your needs and working towards your goals. I work with individuals and couples, adults and teens (and their parents).

We offer a variety of counselling services which are tailored to the unique needs of each individual client. All sessions are based on a foundation of respect and acceptance. Everyone in our clinic strives to offer a safe and supportive environment for all clients. We have registered psychologist, provisional psychologists, certified counsellors, and student interns.

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.

Are you feeling discouraged by arguments with your partner? Do you feel that things do not change no matter what you do? Do you feel like you just cannot improve your mood; do you feel hopeless? Do you feel hurt by too many things to count, like you can't understand your partner & the reverse? With therapy, it is possible to improve these areas. Counselling can help you to feel closer to each other by strengthening trust & deepening relationship bonds. You will learn deepen your attachment bonds & your interpersonal skills. I work with people in a collaborative, compassionate and authentic approach to find connection and healing.

Counselling for Emotional and Narcissistic Abuse. Whether its family or your partner who have toxic traits, you are noticing the anxiety this relationship is causing you and the cycle never ends of being sucked in with love bombing just to be hurt again with put downs and humiliation. I know how painfully lonely and isolating it can be to make that decision to step away from the abuse. There is a lot of shame that comes up, as well as self doubt. You may even question if YOU are narcissistic. I help support and empower women to find the courage in their journey to go from surviving to thriving and turn guilt into confidence!

We can begin by discovering what matters most to you. Even in profound loss, or trauma, it is possible to come to a place of growth and change.

Hi there. Thanks for stopping by my profile. Given my extensive background in Human Resources, I have seen firsthand how work/life burnout and stress can impact our ability to thrive. Adjusting to change in our lives whether it be relationship, family, or career-related, can be both stressful and exhilarating. Often, major life changes involve a component of grief and finding a new sense of self-identity to reach our work/life goals. Through solutions-focused, culturally sensitive, and values-based work, I help clients to find their footing and increase confidence in the midst of change, uncertainty and challenge.

Are you a little different? Queer or Trans? ADHDer? Autistic spouse? Survivor of Religious Trauma? Maybe you have a specific set of unique personalities in your family. Maybe you have a bunch of labels but what you really want to talk about is being lonely. Maybe you've never found someone who really acknowledged that thinking your way through your problems doesn't work. Your problems don't fit in a neat little category, and you don't have a nice little summary of who you are, where you came from, and what is ailing you. Guess what? That's exactly how therapy starts: with the best pieces of you all tangled up with fear and shame.

​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:)
