Transgender Therapists in Edmonton, AB

Maybe you never feel enough, and what "enough" even looks like may feel uncertain. You might be exhausted from feeling the guilt and shame you don't know how to talk about. Perhaps you think your overwhelming past experiences will never leave you. I work with folks who long to accept and connect with themselves & others but feel stuck and in a loop of self-criticism. As a Korean-Canadian Psychologist with many intersecting identities, I also understand and work with many personal and systemic challenges faced by BIPOC & LGBTQ+ communities. I offer care, skills, and insights to support your growth and discovery of new possibilities.

I encourage you to bring forward any topics you'd like to explore during our sessions. It is my privilege to get to support you through any number of life experiences with non-judgement, compassion, and authentic interest. My experience spans sexual assault centres, various non-profits, and most recently developing the counselling program of a medical clinic offering sexual health and gender-affirming care.

Why do we make the choices that we do? Life provides unique experiences that affect people in different ways. These experiences contribute positively or negatively to our well-being and guide our life choices and impulses. It is important to honour the good things we have encountered but it is vital to address the challenges that we have faced, especially when they keep us stuck.

Creating a space of safety and openness is at the centre of my approach to counselling. Working from a strength-based perspective, we will engage in a collaborative process where you are the expert of your life. My intention is to help you access the tools and wisdom within and around you to bring yourself to healing and wholeness. My clients are often adolescents and adults who are looking for help with trauma, anxiety, relationships, gender, sexuality and nonmonogamy.

I work with individuals with a wide-range of concerns and backgrounds but my main areas of focus are working with anxiety, eating disorders, ADHD and addiction issues. In my therapeutic approach, I aim to understand you and your world. Although people may share the same common symptoms, issues, and life’s ups and downs: no two people experience them exactly the same. It is important for me to understand how you experience things, so I can help you find solutions that fit for you. Together we will work collaboratively to figure out what is working for you and how to change the things that are not.

I am a Registered Psychologist in good standing with the College of Alberta Psychologists (CAP). I work from a client-centred approach where I believe that the best therapeutic results come from a collaborative approach between client and therapist. I believe that my role is to provide a supportive safe space where your voice is heard and your goals take centre stage. My commitment is to help you not just cope, but to thrive. Together, we will create realistic goals and map out a unique path to achieve them. When the right therapeutic fit is found, you may be surprised at how quickly you begin to feel meaningful change.

People often seek out therapy to work on their problems when really, it's their solutions that are no longer working. Does this sound familiar? As a skilled therapist, I will partner with you to clarify what is important and help you design creative, meaningful and lasting change in your life. In our work together, you will notice that I am very encouraging, and I will challenge you when you look like you could use it. Together we will create a space where you can bravely experience the sometimes-uncomfortable feelings that come with personal growth.

I provide one-to-one counselling for youth and for adults, couples counselling and parenting education/supports. I also provide Neurofeedback Training/Therapy, for children, teens and adults. I offer a wide variety of Professional Development Trainings (CEC approved) for agencies/staff; and community-based workshops and Therapy Support Groups for the public. My passion is to empower people as they face challenges and grow as individuals - as they address the issues in their lives that might be holding them back from the happiness and contentment they wish to experience.

The COVID-19 Pandemic, Russian-Ukrainian conflict, runaway inflation, housing/food crisis, rise in violent crime, etc.; what do all of these events have in common? They subconsciously affect everyone's behaviour and thoughts. All of us are part of the same social fabric, and what affects the whole affects its parts, & vice-versa. No one is immune from these external influences; everybody feels the consequences of global, political & economic turmoil. The effects may be subtle, but our mood, energy & health are unequivocally impacted; our perception of ourselves & others may fluctuate wildly and our relationships suffer considerably.

I have 10+ years working with clients experiencing anxiety, mood disorders, school refusal, friendship concerns, navigating family relationships, suicidal ideation/self-harm, and sexual/gender identity. I have worked with adult and youth clients with these concerns, along with relationships, infidelity, and parenting. My practice also includes working with couples, polycules, and consensual non-monogamy. I feel we all have a huge capacity for resilience and learning and enjoy co-creating successful therapeutic relationships which are trauma-informed and recognize client's lived experiences.

Perhaps you found resonance about neurodivergence. You're not alone in the confusion you're facing, suspecting that a diagnosis of autism or ADHD might explain your lifelong struggles. Seeking clarity is a powerful journey towards understanding your unique neurodivergent strengths and needs. Your quest for clarity is the first chapter in your empowering journey towards self-discovery and embracing your true potential.

I am a Registered Clinical Counselor with a Master's in Psychology that practice since 1993 There are events in life that have more impact on our minds than others and circumstances in life that make it almost impossible to process those events. Different methods exist to help with the normal flow of that process in order to overcome emotional pain. Through different psychotherapeutic techniques, I guide my clients on the path of self-discovery and personal growth. You and I together will analyze the conflicts and obstacles in your life, we will find and work with your personal fears and beliefs and set yourself free from them.

Hello, I'm Kate, an integrative counsellor working with people who experience anxiety, depression, work-related stress, relationship issues, conflict management, low self-esteem, intrusive thoughts, grief and loss.

I work from a strength-based approach based in neuroscience and best practice, helping people impacted by ADHD to reach life goals, while reducing stress and tension. I have found clients with ADHD can have some big gifts beyond executive function challenges including: pathfinder, resilient, creative and the capacity to feel deeply. Coaching can help to learn new skills, therapy can help to overcome limiting beliefs. I offer both. ADHD brains are different and require a different "owners manual". With support and guidance the gifts and the gems of neurodivergent humans can be cultivated for their (and the world's) benefit.

At times anxiety, depression and/or trauma may impede an individual's natural ability to cope. I believe when a safe and supportive environment is created, individuals may openly explore their struggles and find healthier ways of coping. I have many years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families regarding development, disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders, and brain injury/stroke. For the past 10 years, I have specialized in supporting sexual and gender diverse children, youth, and families.

I strive to offer a safe and confidential space for diverse individuals including sexual & gender minorities (LGBTQ2S+), as well as individuals from all religious, spiritual, ethnic, cultural, and racialized identities.
