Sexual Abuse Therapists in Sherwood Park, AB

I have helped many teens and adults overcome the challenges of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem. Throughout my career I have worked with victims of trauma, particularly victims of domestic abuse, sexual assault, and neglect. I have also worked with people from many areas of the LGBTQ2+ community. In addition to these interests, I have taken advanced training/supervision for working with people who have body image and eating disorder challenges. Most recently I have been advancing my skills in communication and relationship therapies.

My experience is working with people experiencing anxiety, depression, PTSD, veterans, first responders, pre-teens and teens, sexual assault, trauma and domestic violence. I believe in meeting people where they are to start addressing the experiences or stressors by working together to help ease the distress that you may be experiencing.

Sometimes life presents us with struggles and challenges that let us know it is time for change. Change isn’t always easy, and when considering therapy, often the hardest step is making the first phone call or email. (Congratulations!) My therapeutic approach is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices. I believe in the innate capacity for growth and change within each individual. My goal is to provide a therapeutic space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to navigate life's complexities.

We are compassionate and experienced Psychologists who have supported adults in various capacities, since 2012. We know that people are resilient and strong but certain life circumstances can be difficult to overcome for most. We have several specialty areas that include working with: 1. people who have gone through a car accident, 2. people who have experienced a significant life change/transition, and 3. people who have experienced trauma (due to military service, emergency responding, or sexual abuse). Currently, we provide only online counselling and have flexible hours.

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 name is Naomi Isaac (she/her), and I am a queer therapist who specializes in working with individuals who may be struggling to integrate queer and spiritual identities. Queer people from religious faith backgrounds (and their families) are often marginalized by both the queer community and their faith community, and may feel alone in the struggle they may have to understand their queerness in the context of their faith or religious upbringing. Having a therapist who is familiar with both worlds, who will respect all aspects of their identity, is crucial in working through these unique challenges in counselling.

I am a Registered Psychologist who is skilled at working with individuals who are presenting with challenging or high risk behaviours (e.g. sexual harm, aggression). Although these are specific areas of interest, I am open to discussing any potential issues or concerns you may have in order to help you overcome whatever challenges you face. I am particularly interested in working with people who are contemplating life changes (e.g. relationships, careers) and would like help to put their ideas into action.

For the past 14 years, I have worked extensively with children, youth, and families experiencing crisis in their lives.

Hello! I’m Jenn and I’m a registered psychologist. I have been working with teens and adults who have been coping with the impacts of addiction and trauma. Trauma can impact us in a variety of ways, including depression, anxiety, sleep difficulties, relationship stress, and chronic pain. I’m here as a listener and guide, to spark coping, healing, and movement through whatever challenges are in the way of you being the authentic person you want to be. Therapy doesn’t always have to be doom and gloom; therapy is a chance to explore the difficult and celebrate the growth!

Most of us have a sense of the reasons for our difficulties. Yet, we still struggle to work through those issues, understand how they all fit together, and make lasting changes. My approach to therapy fundamentally involves helping clients to find insight about their difficulties through coming to a deeper understanding of themselves, and about understanding how trauma has impacted their lives. One of the ingredients to my approach is self-compassion. With self-compassion comes the ability to see oneself clearly, freedom to become one's true self, and relief from self-consciousness, depression, shame, fear, and anxiety.

I primarily practice EMDR & talk therapy. I am taking new in-person clients in Edmonton & offer virtual therapy for residents of AB. I know it can be hard to imagine discovering & facing what is holding you back. You really want to feel free to fully live your life feeling good & you wonder if therapy is the answer. What if therapy IS the answer? I believe it can be. Honestly, sometimes uncovering hidden parts of yourself feels uncomfortable at first but I can help you sort it all out! Healing yourself WILL lead to feeling better, feeling free & healing your relationships while forming new, meaningful connections.

Hello! My person-centered approach influences the therapy I offer clients, allowing the opportunity for emotional processing and self-exploration and growth in a non-judgmental atmosphere. My practice includes therapy for adults of all ages and genders, adolescents, individuals, couples and families. My clinical expertise is in treating clients who are living with a variety of issues such as depression, self-harm, grief and loss, abuse and trauma, stress, self-esteem concerns, and interpersonal struggles, relationship, marriage and family difficulties, LGBTQ+ and sexuality, addictions and substance abuse, and personality and mood disorders (i.e. bi-polar disorder), and anxiety.

Hello! Welcome, I am so glad you're here. My name is Brooke, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist in good standing with the College of Alberta Psychologists. For as long as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the field of psychology, with a deeply rooted desire to help others and learn about the human experience from a psycho-somatic lens. This work feels nourishing to my soul in a way that words cannot fully describe. Seeing my clients grow as they discover moments of reconnection back to themselves and create meaningful change in their lives is a heart-warming experience.

Having authentic connections can impact our ability to fully engage ourselves in the work needed to create change. I have found that sometimes the most profound, transformative healing takes place within the simplicity & safety of a supportive client-therapist relationship. Authenticity, trust & respect are the guiding principles of my trauma-informed, spiritually sensitive and culturally safe practice. Rooted in positive psychology and mindfulness approaches, my counselling sessions integrate several evidence-based therapies including EMDR for trauma, DBT and CBT for anxiety, narrative & rational emotive informed therapies.

I love working with trauma and have specialized experience with first responders. I get how it changes the way you think, feel and act so can work with emotional dysregulation and behavioural issues too. Addiction is common, and often a way to cope, and it's the underlying issues I enjoy nurturing and healing. At times, I work with people struggling in relationships, sometimes with themselves, or as they adjust to relational changes or losses. Other times I support people as they navigate life transitions like career changes, pregnancy/parenthood, health issues, or the effects of aging.

I believe people experience psychological/emotional suffering because they are not able to relate deeply enough to certain aspects of themselves. This disconnection causes "symptoms" and pain. Depression and anxiety are the most common, but they can further develop into problems with identity, addictions, anger, suicidal feelings, despair, problems in relationships, personality disorders etc. To relieve suffering and to further ones personal development, a deeper connection with self is needed. The clients I usually work with are people who feel thwarted in their attempts to be happy, have satisfying relationships, achieve success.
