Trauma Focused Therapists in Edmonton, AB

Hi, I’m Michelle. I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist in Edmonton, Alberta. I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is a crucial component of all meaningful therapeutic work, and strive to create a safe space that fosters acceptance, connection, healing, and empowerment. I work from a Trauma-Focused lens and utilize a Strength-Based approach, drawing from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including play-based methods, CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, and Gottman. I also offer behavioural, psychological, and psychoeducational assessments.

I value authenticity and enjoy bringing humor, generosity, and evidence-based practices to my clients. My therapeutic approach is integrative in which I use a variety of techniques and approaches to customize therapy to individual needs. I believe healing is achieved in relationships and strive to build supportive and safe connections with my clients. I enjoy working with individuals facing any life struggle at any age but I am particularly passionate about supporting children and parents impacted by traumatic loss.

Accepting New Clients! If you've been through a traumatic experience, it's likely that you're in search of a therapist that specializes in trauma care. You want solutions, but with a caring, judgement-free space to process your emotions and experiences. I have spent over 5 years working with survivors of trauma of all ages and successfully helped them work through their healing process. By utilizing many forms of therapy, I can successfully tailor your experience to what works best for you. You're unique. Your therapy experience should be too.

I care about helping people feel better and know they can heal and grow. I have a special interest in working with children, teens and adults regarding anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, neurodiversity, emotion regulation, stress management, addictions, life transitions, and loss. In addition to individuals, I work with couples and families. I create strong therapeutic relationships and a safe space for people to share their concerns and to work toward meeting their goals.

Thank you for being here. Are you struggling with the pain of a breakup, the loss of a significant relationship, or the impact of infidelity?

Are you and your partner seeking ways to rebuild trust, enhance communication, and make positive life transitions together? Addressing these issues can lead to profound personal growth and improved relationships, providing a foundation for a more authentic and fulfilling life.

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.

I have a passion to empower others and share a wealth of skills and tools I have learned throughout my own life and education. I want to help each client create a positive, hopeful and fulfilling life. As a registered Social Worker, I have over 10 years of professional experience working with all age groups. My work includes providing different therapies including CBT, DBT, Solution-focused and Client-centered therapy in a Trauma Focused environment. I have also helped clients work through grief and loss, and I believe I am a provider of hope and comfort.

Welcome. I serve those clients with a broad spectrum of challenges and issues, ranging from anxiety and depression to trauma and addictions as well as anger management and marital separation. I work closely with individuals, couples, groups, adolescents and adults. Many of my clients find the addition of hypnosis helpful in resolving issues related to depression, anxiety, weight management, infertility, smoking cessation and pain management. My goal as a therapist/mediator is to help you find your "balanced life". As a registered psychologist I assist my clients to find balance in their lives.

Bravery is described as “courageous behaviour or character” and I truly believe that identifying a need for change and seeking out the support to do so is an act of bravery. As a therapist, I strive to develop genuine and non-judgemental therapeutic relationships. I practice from a holistic perspective using evidence-based approaches to provide my clients with the tools necessary to create meaningful change, improved emotional health and resiliency. ​

Hello, I'm Niki, very nice to meet you. Chances are you are noticing that some things in your life just aren't working anymore. There are some life events that impact our emotional well-being. Sometimes they are easier to overcome than others. Those that are not easily managed can lead to prolonged mental health concerns such as depression, anxiety, addiction, and others. In therapy, I can help you to work through the process of healing. I have a genuine and compassionate approach that I bring to each session. I hope to help you find emotional health.

I am a registered psychologist specializing in Depression, Anxiety, ADHD, Bipolar Disorder, and PTSD. I previously conducted research at the University of Alberta, designing a treatment center intended to treat children of sexual abuse. I completed my Master's degree in counselling psychology at City University in Edmonton, Alberta. Prior to that I completed two Bachelor degrees in Psychology and Organizational Studies with a specialization in human resources. I aim to provide my clients with as much time and comfort as they need until they feel safe and secure.

Our humanness naturally predisposes us to vulnerabilities and it is in those vulnerabilities that resilience is cultivated. There are times, however, when we are filled with uneasiness, meaninglessness, unhappiness and/or uncertainty and our struggle seems unbearable. Undoubtedly, life presents us with challenges and I firmly believe these can be transitory circumstances that can reawaken us by opening up opportunities for our attainment of greater self-awareness and deeper and more meaningful sense of our authentic selves, of gratitude, courage and resiliency and of preparation for meaningful change, growth and sense of freedom.

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 approach my practice with genuine curiosity, calm, and a healthy dose of humour. I am passionate about working with youth and families. I also work with adults addressing mental health, relational, and life challenges. I provide a comprehensive mental health assessment and a collaborative treatment plan based on your unique needs.

Hello! If you’re reading this, you may be facing some life challenge such as a mood disorder, a relationship issue, or lingering pain from past trauma. You may be feeling overwhelmed and ill prepared to find the success you deserve, struggling to find healthy coping skills, overrun by unhelpful negative thoughts, low self-esteem, or lack of purpose. If you want to improve your mood and perform better in life and in your relationships, you are on the right path. Things can get better once you start taking care of you. It’s imperative to make yourself a priority so you can be present for all the people and commitments in your life.

Many people struggle with confidence and are unable to fulfill their goals for relationships, work, and personal fulfillment. Understanding how your core values and beliefs impact aspects of your life such as work, relationships, and overall fulfillment can give you the power to overcome these struggles. Through learning to accept and love yourself fully you can move past shame that is likely impacting how you feel and behave. Through awareness of your power to change the meaning you give to events within your childhood, you can become free from limiting beliefs.
