Hello! I’m Gisele, a Registered Psychologist in Edmonton, Alberta. My number one belief when it comes to therapy is that we’re stronger together. It can be tough to ask for help and sometimes it’s hard to know where to begin. Maybe you’re hoping to improve your relationships with others. Maybe you’re hoping to feel like yourself again. Or maybe you’re hoping to help your child find a path towards well-being. No matter what brings you to seek counselling, my goal is to create a warm and accepting environment where we can explore ways to get you to where you want to go.

I offer a welcoming, non-judgmental, and affirming space for clients to feel comfortable and safe. I approach counselling through an intersectional lens to understand how people are impacted by societal structures throughout their lives. My extensive experience includes working with youth, LGBTQIA2S+ communities, survivors of violence and those with ADHD, autism, chronic pain, and disabilities/chronic illness. I work collaboratively with clients to support them while they are experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, and trauma. I work with adults, youth, children, couples and families.

I consider myself a person-centered and strength-based therapist. I believe that my clients are the experts in their own lives, and my role is to support them, be curious, offer insight, and help organize their thoughts and emotions. This approach aims to create space for healing, processing, growth, and achieving one’s full potential for a wholehearted life. I love supporting people through transitions towards healing. My passion lies in the lifelong journey of empowering people to process pain, find resilience, and foster hope.

Psychotherapy creates a safe place where issues and difficulties can be put on the table and looked at - with no judgement, with patience and courage. My job is to help you face and accept yourself, to take responsibility for your self in a way that safeguards your integrity. Psychotherapy is private. Psychotherapy should help you look closely at the tough stuff. It is not always easy but it should honour both your humanness and your dignity. There is a Paul Preston out there that advocates spanking (that's not me).

Whether you're discovering your Self, going through dark times, looking to improve your emotional coping, or whatever your reason for seeking therapy, I will hear your experience and walk alongside you and the pain towards brighter skies. I believe each person is already whole, and I encourage self-acceptance, compassion, and curiosity. I value self-actualization and living a good life, helping others, and living in harmony with nature. My therapeutic space is grounded in my values of love, respect, truth, joy, and health.

Are you having difficulty coping with life? Have you experienced a significant loss or life transition? Are you suffering with anxiety, depression, or relationship problems? Your thoughts and emotions may be feeling confusing or overwhelming. I strive to provide a therapeutic environment where you can feel free to express all your thoughts and feelings, even those that seem difficult and dark. We will work together to create an experience that promotes healing, change, and growth. You can move through the suffering to a richer and more rewarding life.

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.

Do you have trouble reaching your goals and feeling stuck in your situations? Counselling is one way to help you move forward in your life so you can focus on your strengths and goals in life. My passion is to explore people's capabilities and working with where you are at in your life to meet your needs.

I recognize that therapy is not always exciting or enjoyable. In fact, it is often uncomfortable, exhausting and scary. You will not always like it. I also think that it is only through facing the impact of difficult ‘life stuff’ that you can build a fulfilling and sustainable way of being. I trust that, as humans, we hold intrinsic knowledge of what we need and unexpected experiences can disconnect us from that knowledge. I view my role as restoring that connection in an honest and collaborative way. I am drawn to finding crucial links uncovering why we do what we do and creating intentional alternatives together with the client.

Hello, and welcome! If you are looking for an approachable, good-humoured, and effective therapist, I may be the right fit for you. I am an award-winning PhD graduate from the accredited University of Alberta counselling psychology program, specializing in trauma, anxiety, and rehabilitation. I approach my work with a diversity of skills and strategies to ensure that clients are provided with tailored support that meets their unique needs. Working with clients' strengths and relying on my extensive training and experience, I am able to provide satisfying and effective therapy in a safe, respectful, and professional environment.

If you are looking for support for yourself or a family member in facing challenges that impact day-to-day functioning, I can provide this therapeutic support. I will work with you/your family according to your goals and strengths; I can help with strategies and ideas to bolster strengths you already possess. Some of the concerns I can help with include anxiety, depression, bereavement, trauma, addictions, relationship issues, stress, and life adjustments.

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 work with many issues, from situational stress to ongoing difficulty. Many of my current clients are dealing with OCD, anxiety, panic, PTSD, sexual trauma, or interpersonal conflict that seriously impacts their well-being. I integrate knowledge and strategies from several different approaches including CBT, DBT, ACT, ERP, EMDR, schema therapy, and Prolonged exposure. Treatment with me is highly individualized - l want to know what has and hasn't worked for you before we start working together to change what you are experiencing!

I have over 20 years experience offering treatment to individuals, couples and families seeking support to improve life areas and wanting to experience an increase in life satisfaction. My experience and training have enabled me to provide effective strategies to help facilitate positive change and growth.

At times in our lives we experience challenges that feel overwhelming. No matter what is tried, nothing changes and sometimes things seem to get more cloudy, confusing and distressing. My hope is that through learning to approach challenges in a new way, and make sense of where you find yourself - you might find new ways of coping and growing. With a focus on integrative therapy engaging both the brain and the relationships we experience I employ a compassionate approach, seeking new ways of thinking, feeling, and being.

Welcome! Thanks for stoping by! You must have read tons of therapists' profiles before getting to me. I know, I know you must be saying to yourself...why does this AMAZING therapist name end in "S."
