Adults Therapists in Morinville, AB

I am a Registered Psychologist with a private practice in St Albert, Alberta. My experience is with individual, both adults and children, relationship, and family therapy. I am registered under the governing body, College of Alberta Psychologists. I have many years experience in the areas of Mental Health and Addictions. I have been practicing psychotherapy since graduating from Gonzaga University in 1998 with a Masters in Counselling.

Life can present with many challenges and struggles; however, it can bring us to a journey of self-awareness and self-discovery. I hope to help you discover who you are meant to be, both as an individual or as a couple. I am registered social worker, with 15 years of counselling experience. I have a passion for my work and it shows in my commitment and dedication to my clients. My interest is working with adults either individually or as a couple.

I work with children, youth, and adults who are looking to understand their unique strengths and challenges through psychological assessment. Psychological assessments can investigate Giftedness, Learning Disorders, ADHD, and Autism. I also work with children, youth, adults and families providing counselling which is action oriented, targeting mood concerns (eg.anxiety/depression), parenting stress, major life transitions and grief and loss. I integrate CBT, ACT and SFT in my approach.

I have had the privilege of providing mental health support in a variety of capacities since 2013, including crisis management, advocacy, and community and private practice counselling. My focus is on helping clients identify their unique strengths to gain insight into their emotions and conquer unhelpful behaviour or thought patterns that no longer serve them.

Welcome! Anxiety, self-criticism, and burn out are very familiar to my clients, and I bring a decade of practice with self-compassion and mindfulness to help combat those issues. I am warm and direct, and I value tough questions and new perspectives as much as I value humor. I strive to be in your corner and ensure you feel welcomed and supported. I'm here to help navigate it all, including identity exploration, self-critical thoughts, the ever-elusive work/life balance, and anything else you bring to the table. Most often, I work with parents, professionals, and young adults.

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.

Life transitions, daily stressors, trauma, and mental illnesses can negatively influence the way we think, feel, and behave. These factors can cause us to feel "stuck" in old habits and patterns of thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that no longer serve us. I recognize that when we are stuck, it is difficult to make that first step towards change and reach out for support. Hence, I acknowledge you for making the first step into finding what works best for you. I understand that you want to take charge of your mental and emotional pain so that you can unlock your utmost potential.

Art Therapy is great for youth & adults who have difficulty expressing themselves verbally. Experience with art making is Not necessary because we use materials in multiple ways. This mode of therapy is effective for those who have experienced trauma, by giving the client an opportunity to heal in a preverbal manner. The therapeutic use of art materials is good for anyone struggling with anxiety or stress. Working with an Art Therapist can untangle thoughts, re-imagine past patterns and create multiple ways to get unstuck. Instead of having to form thoughts through speech, we process through imagery, in a hands on manner.

Welcome! You feel like you feel for very good reasons. Symptoms of anxiety and depression are a natural response to real life experiences. Unfortunately, we can struggle to find our internal resources when these events occur, and then we have great difficulty using our resources and natural wisdom to make changes to get better. I work within a range of CBT and DBT informed strategies, to gain mastery over problems that can seem unsolvable. Are you frustrated and curious about why it can be so hard to get the basic things that you want in life? Is it hard to even know what you want? Do you wonder where to start? I can help.

Welcome! Whether you're here because you're seeking help for yourself, someone else, or you're exploring whether or not therapy is the right step for you, congrats on making it this far. It can feel like an uncomfortable and overwhelming journey to navigate; just know you're on the right track. I believe that one of the major keys to success is finding a therapist who you "click" with. I would be truly honoured to be the one who works with you towards positive change and healing, and I am open to any questions you might have before getting started.

Grief is a deeply painful, lonely, and isolating experience. When someone we care about dies, our relationship ends in divorce, or we experience any of the other 40 forms of loss, we often feel unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with our emotions. The wonderful news is, grief does not have to be a life sentence of suffering. There are actionable tools that can help you to move beyond the pain caused by a loss in your life. Whether you are grieving due to a recent loss or a loss from long ago, it is never too soon or too late to heal your heart.

At Northern Lights Counselling, my mission is to guide individuals on their transformative journey towards healing, self-discovery, and overall well-being. Inspired by the beauty and magic of the northern lights, I provide a safe and peaceful space for clients to redefine their relationship with alcohol, substances, and addiction, as well as effectively manage stress, anxiety, and depression. I believe in fostering hope, inspiration, and personal growth, supporting our clients as they navigate their path towards lasting change and inner harmony.

I am a therapist who has been practicing for over 24 years. I work with couples, individuals, and families. Although I work with various models and issues, I see problems through the lease of systems. I approach my work from a solution-focused/cognitive-behavioral model. I am a Ph.D. student and have completed a Master's in Counselling Education. I also have an undergraduate degree in psychology and social work.

Helping you to achieve balance in life.

My name is Jessica Himschoot and I am the owner and provisional psychologist at Morinville Counselling Services. My husband and I grew up in the Morinville area, which we now call home with our 4 young children.

Are you struggling with daily life, goals, or your relationship with yourself or others? Do fear, anxiety, low self-worth, setting boundaries, or anger hold you back? I offer a collaborative, non-judgmental approach focused on helping you rediscover your self-worth and innate ability to navigate life's challenges. With a background in addiction treatment and a diverse upbringing, I integrate Eastern philosophy and spirituality into my practice. I presently exclusively offer online sessions while working closely with a dedicated team at Strength Counselling Services.

I believe in the human spirit, uniqueness of experience, personal strength, and the critical nature of support. In my practice, I work with individuals in a culturally sensitive manner that displays warmth, genuineness, and respect. Furthermore, I am dedicated towards empowering clients in helping them meet their goals. I have directed my practice to work with clients who are experiencing emotional distress, transitions, trauma, and with members of the military community. I work in helping clients emotionally regulate through the use of Self-Regulation Therapy, DBT, Narrative, and CBT approaches.

Life can be difficult. Trying to address these difficulties ourselves may feel overwhelming. I support the individuals I meet by working collaboratively with them in a non-judgmental, supportive environment where goals can be established, and movement towards positive change can occur regardless of where one might be in the change process. I believe in highlighting strengths, and empowering clients to achieve therapy goals. I respect how each person's needs within therapy are unique, so a primary focus of mine is the development of a meaningful therapeutic relationship so I can clearly understand and support those unique needs.

Providing a safe, confidential space where people can feel empowered, resilient, understood, and supported is important to recovery from mental health concerns. As a therapist, I provide a place where people feel accepted and supported to actualize their potential with the use of evidence based therapy models.

I am currently accepting new clients for daytime appointments. I understand that the decision to seek therapy can be a difficult one, however, life throws curveballs at us, and sometimes those curveballs leave lasting imprints. I specialize in working with individuals who've weathered storms, helping them find solid ground again. Trauma is not a sentence; it's a chapter, and together we can turn the page. I am a veteran of the Canadian Armed Forces and I have extensive experience working with serving and retired members and their families.

Finding the right therapist is hard. Therapy is hard. Being vulnerable with a stranger is hard! That is why one of my main focuses in therapy is to create an environment of authenticity and empathy - this means that you are going to see me for who I am and I hope this helps you to be comfortable being you! In therapy together, we will work to embrace the authentic you and learn how to be bold moving forward, in whatever that means for you. You are a valued human being and I will accept you just as you are.

Hi, I’m Allison and I’m glad you are here. Life can throw a lot of curveballs our way. Some days it can feel as though we are drowning in life stressors and caught in worrying spirals or experiencing task paralysis. Other days may feel doable but then a trauma trigger hits us, and we get stopped in our tracks. A counselling relationship can help us navigate through overwhelming and difficult life circumstances. Reaching out for help is hard but with a little bit of discomfort comes change and growth!
