Adults Therapists in Sherwood Park, AB

Waitlist Available - I aim to to provide a space where I sit with, support, and at times, guide others to rediscover their most balanced selves. I specifically choose the word balanced because I understand that we cannot strive for things to be successful, or even happy, all of the time. Life will always present challenges, but I work to help my clients find the strength to meet those challenges when they arrive, to cope and find recovery when those challenges knock us down, and to soak up the moments and sense of contentment that exist when the challenges are not present (or at least are less present).

I am a Registered Psychologist with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta. My approach to therapy emphasizes the importance of confronting our painful emotions and experiences from a place of safety, curiosity, and honesty. I work with individuals and couples as well as teens and youth. I also have a special interest in working with men. I believe that men are often under resourced when it comes to accessing, expressing, and understanding their emotions, often leading to painful, yet avoidable, experiences.

Do you require a Psychoeducational Assessment (or simply an IQ assessment), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity (ADHD) assessment, or Giftedness assessment for yourself (an adult) or your child? I offer reduced-fee assessments while completing my training as a Registered Provisional Psychologist until December 2024 (estimated completion date). My supervisor, Dr. Tracy Muth, will review all testing data and reports throughout my assessment training to help with diagnostic accuracy and best practices. I offer an initial complimentary consultation (bookable on my website) to help determine if my services are appropriately suited.

I am a Registered Social Worker, currently completing my internship as the final component of my Masters of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree under the clinical supervision of Gillain Easton, MA, BSW, RSW. As a generalist medical social worker, I have had the privilege of working with diverse patient populations, presentations, family dynamics, and presenting issues, across the lifespan. This work propelled me into doing my master’s degree sooner than I had initially planned, as it fuelled my passion to gain the skills, knowledge, and competency to hold a different role in the helping process.

My approach to sessions is based on collaboration, connection, and authenticity. I believe that each of us has the capacity for healing and that this journey looks different for everyone. I hope we create a safe space where you can show up as your true self, feeling seen, heard and welcomed. You are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk beside you as you nurture your inherent strengths, healing, learning, and growth. I aim to build a trusting relationship with you so we can delve into what brings you to therapy and help you reconnect with yourself again.

I believe you are the expert in your own life and that you don't need someone to tell you what to do. However, we all get stuck sometimes. If you are overwhelmed by problems, hurting, anxious, depressed, or feeling suicidal, it is really helpful to talk to someone who is trained and neutral and can help you move forward in your life and relationships.

I believe therapy provides an opportunity for individuals to express themselves and work towards independence, personal strength, and individual goals. Each and everyone who comes to therapy has their values, beliefs, perspectives, and coping abilities, therefore, when utilizing the most ideal approaches and therapeutic modalities to support each client achieve their goals.

The Family Centre can support you to navigate through change, raise healthy children, develop strong and healthy relationships, and heal from trauma. The Family Centre is a safe space for everyone. People of all ages, cultures, ethnicities, experiences, gender expressions, gender identities, religions, and sexual orientations are welcome to access our services.

Hi there! I am a dedicated and relational therapist who believes each person has a unique and valuable story to tell. I aim to help individuals process their pain and distress while also learning to view themselves with greater acceptance and compassion. In my practice, I specialize in the complexities of anxiety symptoms, whether it's tied to perfectionism, obsessive thoughts, self-esteem, sleep issues, concentration/ADHD symptoms, trauma, or overwhelming stress from commitments. Acknowledging the impact anxiety may have on our relationships, I also hold specialized training to work with relationship anxiety and sexual concerns.

What is wrong with me? Why do I feel stuck and overwhelmed all the time? I can't stop overthinking, and my emotions are all over the place. Will things ever get better? If you have ever asked yourself these questions, you're not alone! Life can be confusing and seem unfair when things don't go as you had hoped. The good news is that things can get better and you don't have to do this alone! If you are feeling any of these we need to talk: Anxious, Overwhelmed, Unfulfilled, Sad, Lonely, Depressed, Having a Hard Time In Relationships, Struggling with Past Trauma or Abuse, Always Feeling Angry and Having a Hard Time Controlling It.

Working as a First Responder or being a Veteran can bring a “mix bag” of unique challenges, positive and negative, that can influence multiple layers in your life. Although these jobs can be rewarding they can also have an impact on your life. SB Psychology provides specialized treatment for individuals exploring a variety of concerns for both professional and personal life challenges. I specialize in dealing with PTSD and have experience working with service- and combat- related trauma. I also work with Veterans & First Responders who just need to talk to a “grey zone” or maybe just feel stuck and overwhelmed.

Feeling anxious or depressed can get in the way of your work and personal life. You might have difficulty sleeping, trouble concentrating, low motivation, and suicidal thoughts. You might find yourself crying often, feeling on edge and easily frustrated. You may prefer to be alone and find it exhausting to respond to friends or family. It can feel like a chore to get up in the morning, and life can feel like more than you can manage. Daily tasks can become overwhelming to tackle, and you may feel shame and guilt about it all. Instead, imagine feeling confident, happy, and enjoying life. The right therapy can lead to these goals.

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.

If you've experienced a traumatic event and suspect you have PTSD, if you're dealing with ADHD, have sustained a brain injury or concussion, or are confronting challenges related to addiction, depression, and anxiety, or if you are looking to improve in business, arts, or athletics, I have the experience and techniques to help you.

Do you see yourself reflected in any of the following descriptions? You feel an intuitive sense that it is time to connect with your true nature. You need to integrate works with expanded states of consciousness, make sense of deep experiences or you are going through a spiritual emergency. That you are looking for someone who will accompany you with respect in the search for your own spiritual path. You feel fine but you feel the desire to go through a process of personal growth, developing your resources and potential.

Customer service is not a term you may automatically think of when you hear psychological services, but to me, you cannot have one without the other. I pride myself on customer service, and work hard to deliver all of my psychological services in a customer focused and driven environment. Together we can work on solutions that are of value to you for any difficulties and dilemmas you are facing. I am team orientated, and believe in a collaborative process, especially when working with children & parents, and I understand how challenging this process can be. I want us to meet your counseling and life goals together.

My ideal client seeks support for managing stress, anxiety, and life transitions. They yearn for emotional balance, improved self-esteem, and healthier relationships. Their goal is to develop coping strategies, gain self-awareness, and ultimately lead a more fulfilling and empowered life. They want to unlock their full potential and find lasting happiness.

Working with clients aged 11 to 111, I work with individuals, couples, throuples and groups. I am trained in multicultural counselling and welcome clients from various cultures and ethnicities. Equity, diversity and inclusion are a priority for me...hence the name 'one love counselling'. We are all connected. You can read my blogs on my website, or follow me on Facebook - one love counselling - as I’ll be posting my blogs there as well.

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.
