Stress Therapists in Edmonton, AB

Is anxiety, self-esteem/self-worth, or stress impacting your relationships? Do you feel stuck moving forward towards your goals and aspirations? I am passionate about working together to explore blocks that may be preventing you from being fully present with life. I will help you tap into your internal strength when faced with life's adversity and learn the importance of human resiliency when facing challenges on your journey. I am inclusive and culturally sensitive and create a space for you that is respectful of differences.

Do you feel overwhelmed, drained, or disconnected? Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, chronic stress, managing pain, or expressing yourself in relationships? I would like to offer you compassion and support. Drawing from my 20 years of experience working with diverse clients and using approaches such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, EMDR and Solution-Focused Therapy, we can collaborate to tailor an approach that works for your unique situation.

Welcome! My name is Bethany (she/her). At the core of my work as a relational and humanistic therapist is the belief that recovery is possible. I focus on providing therapy for stress, trauma, adverse childhood experiences, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, and addiction. Therapy can help to make sense of your life experiences by looking at where you come from, what you’ve been through, and how you are living presently. This deepened sense of awareness clarifies what is important to you for moving forward to build a future that is meaningful.

Trouble managing your substance use? Looking to control it better so you experience less shame? Or did you relapse and you want to get your recovery back on track? Substance use counselling is my jam! Depression, anxiety, work stress, burn-out, codependency, self-esteem, and trauma are my other areas of focus. I strive to foster holistic wellbeing while validating, inspiring, challenging, and empowering. It is also likely we will have laugh! What sets me apart? It's my commitment to experiential knowledge and embracing real-life moments. www.ckps.ca

Imagine the life you desire: a life free from overwhelming distractions and constant stress. Does the piercing sound of your morning alarm fill you with dread? Are you relying on coffee, snacks, or endless social media scrolling to muster the energy to face each day? Consider this: embarking on a transformative journey often starts with a single, courageous step. Much like embarking on a thousand-mile journey, counselling is your stepping stone towards a more fulfilling life. It takes immense courage to acknowledge when aspects of your life are no longer serving you, and I commend you for taking this important first step.

You are more than what others think of you, just as you are more than your pain or your sickness! You might struggle to figure out what and who is worth your time but you know that you want to do more than just survive, you want to ‘LIVE’. You want to love, you want to create, and you want to be comfortable building yourself. I specialize in working with anxiety, burnout/stress, anger, depression, identity concerns,chronic pain and chronic illness.

Beginning to start working through our own personal stress and distress can be overwhelming and intimidating. Working with clients to find new ways of coping, process past experiences and trauma, and establishing healthy boundaries are some of my goals as a therapist, and I aim to provide a safe and comfortable place for that work to happen.

I offer personalized therapy that works. I'm committed to helping you feel better, achieve your goals, and overcome any challenge, be it intrusive thoughts, painful and intense emotions, or posttraumatic stress from issues like combat or sexual trauma, accidents, abuse, assault, death, or suicide. I work with couples and adults dealing with trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), anxiety, panic, depression, grief, ADHD, and relationship issues. I focus on supporting couples and adults within military, police, correctional, emergency medical, healthcare, and fire rescue services confronting challenges like PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

I offer non-judgmental and anti-oppressive mental health therapy and relationship therapy. The human experience is characterized by constant oscillation. You may be struggling with anxiety, sex/intimacy, depression, stress, or going through life transitions. You may be struggling to cope with the present, the past or a recent trauma. Regardless of what is going on in your life, I invite you to reach out. I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Whether you are hoping to address issues related to your career, your family, or your relationships, or you wish to overcome problems like depression, anxiety, stress management, or grief, I do my best to provide a non-judgemental space for people to work on those issues. I also provide formal assessment services, if you would like to achieve a better understanding of your issues. Finally, some of my clients also need support in managing behaviours that place them (or could place them) in conflict with the law, such as issues related to anger, violence or sexual behaviours.

Welcome! We might work well together if you're seeking a therapist who is gentle, direct, and engaged in session. I enjoy helping people improve their relationships with themselves, other people, and the challenging parts of life – things like trauma, anxiety, stress, communication, depression, and grief. I believe everyone deserves a supportive space to be heard and to heal no matter how they live or identify. And I love learning! I grow alongside every client I see.

Everyone has the innate capacity to heal and transform. I see my task as offering a safe, skilled and authentic relational space in which that might occur. I offer a highly individualized and integrative approach to help you bring more balance, resilience, meaning and flourishing into your life - to call forth and nurture your true potential. I have over 15 years of experience in individual, couple and group counselling and have worked with all age groups and with many different mental health issues and challenges. However, I see everyone as completely unique and needing their own particular co-created path to healing.

Hi, I’m Nicolette. If you are looking for healing at a deeper level, I would love to connect with you. I work with clients who feel impacted by anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship issues, stress, and childhood trauma. I enjoy working with adults from all walks of life, particularly with seniors and people who care for others (e.g., health professionals).

I am an ACCT Registered Therapeutic Counsellor, with 20 years of experience. It is my goal to create a comfortable and safe environment where we'll work together to address your concerns and achieve your goals. Using a non-judgmental psycho-dynamic approach to understand yoursel with your circumstances, that led you to the current situation. I work to rebuild your own self-esteem, make you stronger and will give you the right instruments to face life and adversities. I can speak bilingual English and Spanish.

How do you find the best counsellor for you? This is a difficult choice and often being open and communicating with your counsellor will ensure optimal healing. I come from an acceptance of where you are in your journey. I do not believe the goal of counselling is “counselling itself”, but to find a way to move forward in your journey. "To feel safe with other people is probably the single most important aspect of mental health” (Bessel Van der Kolk, 2014).

I help individuals overcome a variety of mental health challenges (e.g. stress, painful emotions, trauma, social anxiety, relationships, self-esteem, personal development, and more). Employing a personalized approach centered around your unique identity, strengths, values, and aspirations, I collaborate with you to address the challenges you face and foster meaningful growth in your life.

It can be hard to enjoy life, especially when our innermost thoughts and automatic reactions are difficult or painful. It can feel like we are "stuck" on autopilot causing many areas of our life to feel unsatisfying, stressful, or overwhelming. I enjoy helping people to get "unstuck" from the symptoms of stress that they have been trying to manage (panic, anxiety, relationship issues, reactivity, etc). By reducing chronically held tension in our nervous system, we may better manage our responsibilities, our relationships, and recover ourselves easier. Therapy can help restore an inner calm and can help you come back to yourself.

I help people find healthier ways of coping with life’s stress, change bad habits, and recover from life’s challenges. We'll explore, with curiosity, what purpose your habits might serve or used to serve. Then, from a place of understanding, we can discuss how to meet those same needs in ways that are better for you and your lifestyle now. I gained this experience working for 10-years with people in recovery from trauma, addiction, and mental illness and I believe that change is possible for anyone. But it's not easy to do on your own; I'm here to help.

In my work, I have been able to support my clients through depression, anxiety, emotional struggles, and post traumatic stress. I thoroughly enjoy working with adolescents and adults through all life stages and situations. I work primarily from a client centered perspective, meaning I believe that all people, regardless of their circumstances, have the ability within themselves to heal if given the proper tools and guidance. Attachment drives my clinical work, and I believe that healing happens in relationship both internally and within external relationships. I am also trained in the EMDR modality and DBT.

***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 support adults through a variety of areas including but not limited to stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and life transitions.

I have training in a variety of evidence-based approaches including but not limited to Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Grief Recovery Method (GRM). I am also a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP).

Current spaces available for new clients. Same day responses. Strengthen your relationships with yourself and others with IFS informed therapy. I work mainly with professionals in healthcare, emergency services, social services, education, energy/body work, and Indigenous services; however, all are welcome. I understand the unique needs of individuals working in helping professions and the health and relational consequences of chronically stressful workloads and systemic oppression. It can be difficult to find the “right” therapist for those working in such specialized fields; you have very unique needs and parts. I get you!
