Transgender Therapists in Edmonton, AB
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.

I wholeheartedly believe in the positive changes counselling can make. A caring, supportive professional who listens without judgement, advocates for you and keeps you accountable, can see you through the big and small struggles we inevitably encounter. Using warmth, authenticity and humour I aim to partner with you as you experience change and growth. I value inclusivity and feminism and welcome clients from all genders, ethnicities, sexual orientations, and relationship arrangements. Where you are right now with your mental health is not where you have to stay. I can provide a way through what seems overwhelming and unending.

My style of therapy is collaborative. I believe that everyone has a unique story and that although I have a lot of theoretical knowledge, you are the best source of knowledge about yourself. We will work together to understand your past and create a present and future around your determined priorities and goals. I view everyone as having a unique path for growth and it is my privilege to be included in discovering that path. I practice a non-judgemental attitude toward the past, believing that the past is part of each of us, but the present is where the work happens.

Hi :) I'm Rachel. I believe that every human has the natural desire to grow into the best version of themselves. Since humans are wired for connection it only makes sense that there are periods in our lives where meeting with a mental health professional can greatly benefit our healing. Whether through trauma, grief, mood, desired re-connection to oneself, or any other reason: no issue is too big or small.

As an Intern Mental Health Therapist and certified Grief Recovery Specialist, I strive to create a non-judgemental, validating space for individuals to explore their thoughts and emotions. I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing from therapeutic models that foster strength, acceptance, and change such as Internal Family Systems (IFS), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and EMDR. I have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, emotion dysregulation, Autism, and trauma. The majority of my experience is with adolescents and young adults, but I welcome individuals of all ages and backgrounds.

Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing - especially the humor part! Which is why they are benchmarks of my clinical practice. Combined together, the healing force created is a 'game changer' in people's lives. My approach to psychotherapy is person centered (congrats, you are unique! Your therapy should be too), grounded in attachment theory (relationships are our friend! Don't argue...everyone needs a friend) and developmental psychology (we all go through life changes, change suucks, but it's unavoidable). All this guides our path to wellness. Heads up - standard credential speech ahead...

I am in my last year of a Masters of Counselling Psychology. I am offering sliding-scale counselling at Reframed Psychological in Edmonton, AB until Dec, 2024.

I am knowledgable of Queer + Gender diverse issues, and also love working with couples/relationships of all kinds.

As a Registered Psychologist, I am committed to helping others live a life they deeply value, in spite of what suffering inevitably arises. I offer a respectful, confidential space where you will be supported in honest, non-judgmental self-exploration. Together, we can work on approaching your difficult thoughts, feelings, and experiences in new ways: with compassion, understanding, and the courage to be vulnerable. My goal is to help you build behavioural flexibility, so that you are increasingly able to act in ways that align with your values, rather than rigidly re-cycling old patterns of behaviour.
