Therapists in Parkland, AB
I have worked with a variety of age groups, including young children, teens, adults, and families and couples.
There are many reasons why people pursue counselling. Some want to address specific problematic behaviours. Others, long-term difficulties that have not yet been resolved. Some want to find alternate ways to cope while others want to discover more about themselves in order to live life more authentically. Whatever your concern, it is a privilege to support your personal therapeutic goals on your own self-development journey. I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists and a member of the Psychologists Association of Alberta.

My passion is helping children and adolescents to feel better understood, and to have the skills and confidence to better manage their external (e.g., friendships, school performance) and internal (e.g., emotions, urges) worlds. Using gold-standard psychological assessment tools, I can provide clarity around diagnostic questions including ASD, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, and learning disorders in order to make recommendations that will benefit a child going forward. With respect to therapy, I use evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT skills, and ACT to help youth manage big feelings and function more effectively.

Children/teens and their parents are supported in deepening connection, healing, strengthening coping skills, enhancing self-esteem, and adopting new patterns that empower them to thrive authentically and in alignment with their strengths and goals.
Are you or someone in your family struggling with anxiety, fragile self-esteem or low mood? Does it seem like it started off small but feels like it is escalating and you are unsure of how to help them or yourself? Growing up can be hard. Many children and teens today face increased anxiety, social challenges, learning difficulties, depression, loss or family challenges like divorce or illness of a parent or loved one. In adulthood, the challenges may look different, but age does not shield us from the challenges caused by career pressures, overwhelm or blows to our confidence.

When it comes to working with children, youth, and young adults, the most common story I hear is that they do not feel seen or understood. Without feeling safe they can become stuck in a continuous loop of fight or flight responses. This can lead to meltdowns, avoidance, aggression, and risk-taking behaviours. Understanding that they are doing the best they can, I aim to help young people thrive within systems that do not always support living outside the “standard box.” All I ask is that you be curious to try something new together to see what it feels like to be your true self and live the life that matters most to you!

"Insanity: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." - Albert Einstein - As a psychologist, I tend to work with people to focus them on what they can change and control to find successes with their problems. Whether working with couples, families, children, youth, or adults, I'd like to be the guy who listens in a way others may have failed to hear you before. My ideal client is anyone craving new skills, new ways of thinking and feeling, and is ready to learn how to think anew about the things they were once sure of.

Don would like to support you or your child to find relief, but more than this, to unlock the sense of purpose that comes from being truly ourselves!.
