Blue Cross Therapists in Fort Saskatchewan, AB

Hello! I'm a Registered Psychologist who specializes in supporting adult clients with trauma, anger, shame, burn out, overwhelming emotions, boundaries, depression, anxiety, and return-to-work/medical leaves. This includes experience with first responders and a specialization in providing virtual care with a goal of making services accessible to clients. I also specialize in the psychological assessment of adult ADHD. I believe that the challenges in our lives, both big and small, can greatly impact our well being. Working to resolve those challenges in a supported space can provide relief, insight, and resilience.

Do you find yourself experiencing a level of stress and discomfort that doesn't seem to match what is happening around you? Do you notice this discomfort but feel helpless to manage or respond to it? Imagine what life could be like if you felt confident in your ability to respond to stress in a way that feels manageable and invites excitement for new opportunities. It can be challenging, but our brains' inherent capacity for healing offers profound hope.

I believe that all people have a natural affinity toward growth and healing. As a psychologist it is my role to provide a safe, non-judgemental and compassionate space to explore concerns as they arise. I honour the strengths and abilities that each person brings to therapy and use these as important and valuable resources to move toward wellness. Equality and understanding problems within the context in which they occur are also important tenants of my work. Through connection and collaboration, I work together with clients to find the right solutions for them.

Do you experience overwhelming emotions & wish you had the skills to cope more effectively through life’s challenges? As a Registered Psychologist I offer support in assisting clients in seeking the changes they desire. I utilize Solution Focused & Cognitive Behaviour Therapy in my practice. I provide counselling services to adults & adolescents presenting with a variety of mental health concerns including: anxiety, depression, self-esteem/confidence, stress/anger management, parenting, divorce/separation, healthy communication/boundary setting, life transitions & developing effective coping skills. Morning/afternoon/evening avail.

I am a local Registered Psychologist and the Director of Heartland Psychology, specializing in the treatment of trauma, grief & loss, anxiety, and depression. In addition to working in private practice, I enjoy teaching in the Master of Counselling program at City University of Seattle as an Associate Faculty member. It was the loss of my mother to cancer six years ago that changed how I viewed the world and led me into working with others in their struggles. I am currently offering in-person and video sessions from our clinic in Fort Saskatchewan.

Counselling for Women. I know how tired you are of feeling overwhelmed, stressed and not being able to get your needs met. Imagine how life could be if you could control your emotions, ask for what you want, and not feel guilty!

My goal is to help you maximize your fullest potential on and off the playing field, as well as provide helpful strategies to help you achieve your goals. Many obstacles can present themselves in our daily lives that can be overwhelming, confusing, or uncomfortable. This can leave us feeling disconnected from our experiences, goals, and ultimately our lives. By removing barriers that may prevent you from performing optimally, you make space for a bigger opportunity to grow, learn, and develop more self-awareness and to get a closer, deeper look at what you are capable of.

As a registered psychologist and having been in private practice for 14 years, I have had the privilege to meet and work with many wonderful couples, families and individuals. I strive to establish a solid rapport with clients in a comfortable environment. I have been told that clients appreciate my professional and direct approach that is not overly formal and allows for humour when appropriate. I use a biopsychosocial approach and incorporate several therapeutic modalities. I work to not only focus on managing symptoms, but getting down to the root cause of what is getting in the way of being able to achieve one’s goals.

There are times when we feel like we are looking for something. Something is missing in ourselves; in our lives. We feel alone in our problems. We feel like we're not enough. We want to show who we really are but we're afraid. Finding a way through starts with being curious about ourselves; about others; about life. We can feel fully present in our lives when we tune in to our own attachment needs and those of the people we love. Two Psychologists, Brea Malacad and Paul Berg, have created this new private practice in Edmonton emphasizing this need for connection and attachment.

For over 20 years, I have supported individuals from diverse lived experiences who have wanted to: address old wounds, gain insight into why they do what they do, and break undesirable thinking and behaviour patterns. Throughout my career as a certified inclusive education teacher and counsellor, I have helped students and adult learners with achieving their personal, interpersonal, relational, academic, and career aspirations. From conducting assessments to processing complex trauma, I am proficient with matching the intervention with your unique needs.
