Therapists in Edmonton, AB

Hi, I’m Sonia Maria , I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor. I am providing only online and phone counselling at the moment. I focus on adolescents, young adults and adults. I also provide help to couples and families. Clients come to see me for a variety of issues mainly, depression, anxiety, stress, anger management, bereavement and cultural adjustment. I can provide services in English, Spanish and Portuguese. I am committed to listen, respect and give you an atmosphere to help you to explore solutions and move towards learning new skills and to achieve your goals and live a life you long to.

I am the owner of Equinox Therapeutic. I most enjoy providing services to individuals who feel, in some way, "stuck" but feel that somehow, someway, life MUST have something better in store for them! Whether it's because of traumatic experiences that you still carry the weight of, or the sense that your current coping mechanisms are no longer functional for you, I can help you untangle the web of your past or present...allowing you ultimately to emerge with a true understanding of who you are, and a sense of empowerment and potential to be who you want to be. 2SLGBTQ+ affirming, and all expressions of queerness are welcome!

Have you recently been struggling and feel like you could use some extra support? Do you have a hard time coping with how you are feeling? Are you feeling alone or struggling in the relationships in your life? Are you struggling with trauma you have experienced? Are you having a hard time sleeping? If you answered yes to any of these questions it may be time to seek out counselling in a safe and caring environment. Together we can create a plan to build on your strengths, and gain new resources and tools to assist you with your struggles. It is my desire to help you increase your hope, joy, and meaning in your life.

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.

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).

I am passionate about supporting individuals and families to overcome pain/trauma and work towards wholeness, healing, and ultimately building lives that express their full potential. I specialize in working with children/youth, and adults affected by trauma, grief and loss, anxiety, suicide, depression, ADHD, low self esteem, as well as those healing from abuse in relationships. I work collaboratively with clients to create goals and develop road maps for healing, and to create a safe and non-judgmental space for healing to occur. I use an ecclectic approach including: talk therapy, Art Therapy, DBT, EMDR and mindfulness/somatic.

My approach is in holistic, transformative change that is tailored to your needs, supported by clinical research. I aim to create a refuge for you and I to partner in your desired change - where we can work together to navigate difficult experiences, tap into your inner wisdom, and develop personalized strategies for growth. Additionally, I am mindful of and attend to the impacts of culture, which is informed by my BFA in Critical and Cultural Practices, the culturally responsive and socially just (CRSJ) counselling model, and Indigenous Cultural Safety Training.

For too long, trauma has been a silent saboteur in the lives of many, often manifesting in feelings of disconnection, fear, and a sense of unworthiness. Life's adversities, including trauma, can cloud our perception of ourselves and our sense of worth. While the wounds may run deep, they need not define who we are or our potential for happiness. I encourage my clients to embark on a journey within themselves—a journey that requires courage but promises the possibility of hope, empowerment, and a renewed sense of importance. Together, we will confront the narratives that no longer serve you and celebrate your inherent worth.

Welcome! I am a Registered Psychologist in the province of Alberta. I work primarily with anxiety, grief and loss, and life transitions. I also have a special interest in supporting families and individuals experiencing disability, medical complexity, or foster care and adoption. I work with both adults and children and I really enjoy both these age groups. As a former teacher, I have a lot of exerience with ADHD and emotion regulation, as well as attachment disruptions and trauma.

I see healing as a holistic, sacred process, deserving honour and witness. I value genuine relationships, while inviting humour into the process. I use an integrative approach to support unique needs and healing. I enjoy working with a range of ages and concerns such as anxiety, stress, lifespan adjustments, relationship concerns, parenting, trauma processing, grief processing, self-esteem, mens & women's issues, character development, caregivers support, frontline workers support. I also enjoy supporting people through spiritual crisis, growth, deconstructing, supporting members of clergy, and spiritual consulting.

Resilience is the process of adapting well in the face of adversity, trauma, tragedy, or significant sources of stress. It means "bouncing back" from difficult experiences. Together we will explore ways to heal, strengthen existing coping strategies, and create the change you most desire. Each person is unique and I use an integrative approach (variety of therapies) that are a "good fit" for each client.

Life can present challenges that leave us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck and unsure of what to do. This may make it difficult to manage or thrive in our daily lives. If this sounds familiar, you do not have to do this alone. I have experience supporting clients through depression, anxiety, life transitions, burnout, addictions, personal growth and grief and loss.

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 is challenging and difficult at times. It can create distress that affects every part of who we are: our thoughts, feelings, physical well-being and spirit, upsetting our ability to be effective with ourselves, others and manage the demands of our daily life. When we decide to reach out for help, we are acting courageously. Particularly if we do not have the energy or believe that things can be better. I am passionate about helping people. I work to understand the world from your point of view and help you gain a sense of balance and confidence to make positive changes in your life.

Life happens. From birth on we all deal with transitions and events that impact us and often our relationships in various ways. Therefore I work with people of all ages as individuals, couples or families. I can help you when life is overwhelming or challenging. You and your situation are unique. Considering these factors allows me to me you where you are at. I build a relationship with you in a warm and nonjudgmental manner in order to help you get life back on track. Together we will work on establishing coping strategies and find solutions to the issues you face.

I rely on proven Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused and Narrative Therapy interventions to assist those who are dealing with stressful life events and challenging emotions. My Client-centered therapeutic foundation believes in people's inherent strength and wisdom to recover from adversity.
