Female Therapists in Fort Saskatchewan, AB

Are you no longer able to manage like you used to? Are you dissatisfied in your relationship and feel unsure what to do next? Are you feeling angrier, sadder, or more irritable? Life can often send challenges our way that we aren't prepared for, which can cause us to feel stuck, scared, and lost. Ultimately, we are all looking to feel at ease in our own skin, fulfilled in our relationships, satisfied with our lives, and free to be ourselves. Therapy is a chance to step back from the way we have always done things so we can make sense of what is going on around and within us. To reconnect with what matters most in a safe environment.

I am honoured to support people in finding their path to healing. I believe that we have our own capacity to move through difficult times and know that taking this step can be pretty tricky. My approach is gentle and fairly eclectic, I tend to use the modality that best suits the clients needs with an attachment based lens. I tend to focus on play therapy and emotion focused therapies with children as well as utilize some dyad work. With adults I tend to use EMDR, trauma processing, solution focused therapy, person centred and emotion focussed therapy modalities. I offer a free 15 minute consultation to ensure I am the right fit.

There are times when we feel alone and need someone to support us. Times when we do not know what to do or how to manage on our own. Whether it is during a crisis or if you simply want to achieve that ever elusive balance, there is help available.

We are an online counselling agency so do not provide services in person. Strength Counselling Services has licensed, experienced therapists who use evidence-based practices, prioritize client needs, and maintain ethical standards. We offer culturally sensitive, affordable services in a supportive environment. We offer a comprehensive goals assessment, regularly assess progress, and collaborate with other professionals. We provide transparency in our fees and for thirteen years now have held a positive reputation of trust, and client success. Lastly, ensuring our clients' privacy and confidentiality are of utmost importance to us.

A psychological assessment looks at how well you are functioning, including looking at factors like memory, executive functions, academic abilities, thinking skills, and behaviour (ADHD, Autism, etc.). It can also look at aspects of mental health, such as depression and anxiety, to see how these might be impacting your day-to-day experiences. My background in neuroscience has helped me develop a deep appreciation and passion for the brain and how it works. I integrate this knowledge to better understand all the factors that might be impacting your unique situation in order to provide appropriate options and recommendations for you.

Do you struggle with anxiety, low mood, or just disconnected from yourself and others? Do you want to do more, feel more, or get out more but struggle to find the motivation? Are you feeling exhausted by trying to meet the demands of day-to-day life and hoping that it will somehow get better? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage all the responsibilities (from teenage to adult pressures) in their lives and still have time for themselves. Ignoring our own needs to meet the needs of others can only take us so far and it’s time you start listening to yours.

As an therapist, I approach counselling by meeting people where they are with compassion and empathy that is free from judgment. People are not meant to travel through life’s difficulties alone and I look forward to walking through this journey with you. I am passionate and committed to removing obstacles to service throughout my community.
