Online Counselling for Sherwood Park

I am pleased that you have made it here. I have the privilege of connecting with people like you who are looking to find peace of mind in the midst of life's challenges. My training has given me the tools to invite you into a different kind of conversation than you may be having, with the purpose of generating new insights and finally getting to the heart of the matter. If you are ready to deal with some stuck points in your life, or are wanting to heal from the stings of the past, I might be the therapist you are looking for. I use well-researched therapeutic strategies to help you get to where you want to be.

Within a safe and caring relationship, I support clients who are experiencing symptoms related to acute, chronic, historical, and intergenerational trauma, including post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD, I also support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, identity issues, life transitions, role strain, relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and mental health impacts related to food allergy. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals impacted by family violence.

I have worked in diverse settings over my 10 years as a Social Worker, but my focus and passion has always been on lifelong holistic family wellness. I believe that in order to heal, process, or explore oneself, a safe, compassionate, empowering, and authentic environment must be created. I strive to do this by bringing my whole perfectly imperfect self into session and want you to come as you are. This way we can work together to create a partnership where what you want, need, and believe is valued foremost. I also identify as a Highly Sensitive Person and enjoy working with kids, adults and parents that relate to feeling deeply.

If therapy, to you, means digging in deep and healing all parts of you - we may be a good fit! As a therapist, I believe that struggles and challenges are all a part of life. This is what makes us human! But we were never meant to struggle alone. You may be looking to address and process past wounds that are still impacting you today. Or, you may be searching for ways to deal with the messiness of life and learn to thrive rather than just survive. Maybe you're hoping to grow and evolve, by gaining skills your future self will thank you for. Either way, I will meet you where you're at and work with you towards healing.

Morganne wholeheartedly implements safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, and empowerment in her work with various concerns. She believes it is important to “walk alongside” clients and develop a collaborative relationship. Morganne supports individuals, couples, and families in the areas of anxiety, depression, suicidal thoughts, self-esteem and compassion, emotional acceptance and regulation, grief and loss, and trauma and PTSD.

I believe people come to therapy because something internal or external is holding them back from having the meaningful life they want. Sometimes knowing what exactly we're reaching for is the concern, sometimes it's needing support with the hardships we are facing, or it's wanting to figure out what the next steps are. Whether it be dealing with chronic or acute stress that is lowering their quality of life and just isn't working, feeling out of control with addiction concerns and exploring the roots, depression and anxiety that sends thoughts of "not good enough" or helpless feelings - everyone deserves to have a fulfilled life.

We all have the capacity to stray from our authentic selves, sometimes to gain approval or acceptance from others, or because our worth is tied to something outside of us. The further we shift from our truest selves, the more we see issues like anxiety and depression arise. I understand that seeking counselling and discussing your concerns with a stranger can be very intimidating. There are times in our lives, however, when this may not only be helpful, but even necessary. My goal is to help you rediscover your authentic self and to find the courage to begin living from a place of truth.

I am a Mental Health Therapist (MHT) working with youth and adults at a reduced cost. I work with individuals and couples. I am currently offering virtual sessions at a low cost.

The unfortunate truth is that life will always present tough times and challenges. Trauma and stress do not discriminate and can be immensely impactful. It may be easier at times to repress difficult feelings and emotions, rather than face them head-on. However, what is repressed can slowly seep out into multiple areas of one's life, impacting self-esteem, relationships, ability to cope, etc. Together, we can work on your goals to enhance what you already have within you to cope, regulate, and enhance your quality of life.

Are you looking for a caring and competent therapist? I am a Registered Counselling Psychologist with over 25 years of experience in helping people overcome life's challenges, achieve their goals and live more satisfying lives. I will listen to your concerns and provide a warm and supportive environment for us to find solutions that work well with your personality and in your unique situation.

I bring a compassionate and integrative approach to therapy, drawing from a diverse range of theoretical perspectives and techniques to tailor a personalized framework that aligns with your unique goals and needs.

I provide individual and couples therapy. I have worked with clients who are struggling with self worth, trauma, addictions, imposter syndrome, depression, anxiety, performance challenges (sports psychology) communication challenges, life stress, and workplace difficulties. The feedback that I get from my clients is that they feel seen, heard and supported. While many people come to me struggling with issues in their lives, I also know that therapy does not have to be always so intense. Laughter and joy are a part of my sessions, as are space for deep discovery and emotional connection.

Throughout the years I have had the privilege to work with individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, everyday stressors, navigating family dynamics, creating healthy boundaries, first responders, individual relationship breakdown, veterans, parents, and young adults who are stuck and need someone to help to a healthy and happy lifestyle.

Healing is a journey that requires time and patience. Our mission is to support you every step of the way, guiding you towards personal growth and well-being.
