Family Therapy in Edmonton, AB

Customer service is not a term you may automatically think of when you hear psychological services, but to me, you cannot have one without the other. I pride myself on customer service, and work hard to deliver all of my psychological services in a customer focused and driven environment. Together we can work on solutions that are of value to you for any difficulties and dilemmas you are facing. I am team orientated, and believe in a collaborative process, especially when working with children & parents, and I understand how challenging this process can be. I want us to meet your counseling and life goals together.

Are you feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Not sure what to do next? Let's work on it together. I specialize in helping clients with their relationships, whether that is with their partner, family member, or their own view and treatment of themselves. The relationships in our lives are not the only things that affect us, but they do tend to be the things that can cause the most damage or help the most in healing. This is what I can help with.

I’ve been privileged to live and work in Alberta’s far north, where I’ve become familiar with a wide diversity of cultures and personalities. I understand the unique challenges – such as isolation, transportation, lack of access to support services - that Northerners face. My clients include those facing issues related to intergenerational trauma, residential schools, 60s scoop, addictions, family violence and systemic racism. I have experience working with trauma, sexual assault, grief and loss, separation/divorce, and the LGBTQ community.

Food is so much more than fuel. Food is a way we express love, appreciation, and empathy. Food provides comfort and sparks conversation. It ties us to our memories, our cultures, and our family. So, when we are struggling with eating, we are missing out on more than nutrients, we are missing out on opportunities for connection. This connection goes both ways. When our child is struggling to eat, we as a family are missing out on the opportunity to connect and enjoy each other. My role is to support you and your family regain this connection through psychotherapy and feeding therapy.

I believe in working in partnership with clients to use their strengths to help them sort out their challenges and achieve their goals. I also realize how important it is to identify all aspects of an individual’s life that impact their well-being including their physical health, support systems (family, friends, etc.), work or school environment, culture, and faith/spirituality in this process. I also believe that culturally responsive treatment includes engaging the community being served and ensuring that healing processes fit within that cultural context.

If you are looking to gain a deeper satisfaction in life, and create a lasting change that will have a trickle down effect into the rest of your life I may be a great fit for you. Together we will work to overcome barriers (PTSD, anxiety, OCD, depression, marital/family difficulties, and existential issues) that are standing in your way of a more joyful life. I have specialized training to work with children, teens, adults and couples. I believe that through acceptance, introspection, exploration and application of these in one’s life change can begin and be long-lasting. I'd be happy to meet with you!

Many times, people struggle with issues but are not sure what to do about them. Is counselling the right approach? Psychotherapy? Coaching? Maybe just coffee with a trusted friend seems like the best solution at times, but maybe you're not feeling sure about that either. What I usually recommend for people experiencing challenges but who are uncertain about what to do is to book a consultation session to talk about what's going on and some options or recommendations for what to do about it. Sometimes one consultation session is enough. Three-session consultations also are available for working through issues in more detail.

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 someone that is very compassionate, kind and curious. I believe that everyone has the inherent right to choose and to live a wholehearted life that’s fulfilling and abides by their own personal values. My goal is to create an environment where clients can feel comfortable to explore their experiences without judgement. Everyone will be valued & welcomed as they are. Together, we will work towards helping you achieve your counselling goals. The main focus will be on your strengths and resources, and to develop new ways of dealing with life's challenges.

***I am not accepting new clients at this time.*** Therapy is no easy task. (Yeah, I said it). It is a lot of work with ups and downs, just like everything else you've accomplished to get to where you are! Whether you are seeking help for grief, trauma, life changes/events, depression and anxiety, family and relationship troubles, stress, or any other issue, it takes dedication to the process of self-discovery. If you are ready, I would be honored to take the first steps beside you.

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.

As a Somali-Canadian therapist, I have lived experiences navigating two identities and understanding trauma. I work with individuals and couples who are struggling with communication, understanding cultural impacts on identity, and breaking cycles. My approach to therapy is: pro-Black, pro-choice, pro-queer, pro-trans, and focuses on being an affirming therapist. I support all cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities.

Know all the theories and master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul, be another human soul- Carl Jung. Are you looking for someone to talk to? Someone to help you on your journey? Or are you looking for someone to listen to you in a safe and nonjudgemental environment? Well, look no further. My name is Toby John. Welcome to my profile. I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist specializing in couples counselling, sex therapy, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. I believe that quality treatment begins with a solid therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist.

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.

Welcome, you have just taken the first step to healing! I have experience working with anxiety, depression, substance use, medical trauma & chronic illness, ADHD, brain injury, OCD, boundaries, career/life transitions, suicide, abuse, trauma, and PTSD. Additionally, I work with couples to help increase communication, overcome betrayal, or regulate emotions. I also work with families to increase boundaries, communication, and heal trauma. I work with Pre-teens, Teens, Adults, Elderly, Couples, and Families. I am also Indigenous and support inter-generational trauma, cultural and mental health issues for clients of all cultures.

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.

I primarily use IFS (internal family systems), EMDR (eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing), and somatic therapies to help clients heal from and cope more effectively with difficulties having to do with mood disorders, eating disorders, ADHD, addiction, sexual abuse, complex trauma (i.e. repeated painful experiences of betrayal, abandonment, or boundary violations); grief, disrupted attachment in early childhood, as well as experiences of discrimination, exclusion, or shaming on the basis of sexuality, sexual orientation, cultural identity, or anything else that unjustly marks an individual as inferior.
