Therapists in Spruce Grove, AB

Thank you for selecting my profile! I am the director of Daring Greatly Psychological and offer supervision to Registered Provisional Psychologists. While my caseload is currently full, my wonderful team members at Daring Greatly Psychological are available to assist you with your care.

Creating a space of safety and openness is at the centre of my approach to counselling. Working from a strength-based perspective, we will engage in a collaborative process where you are the expert of your life. My intention is to help you access the tools and wisdom within and around you to bring yourself to healing and wholeness. My clients are often adolescents and adults who are looking for help with trauma, anxiety, relationships, gender, sexuality and nonmonogamy.

Bonjour, hello! My name is Geneviève, you can also call me Gen! My pronouns are she/her, et oui, je suis bilingue. My practice as a Registered Provisional Psychologist is rooted in a deep appreciation for each individual’s story, personal struggles, and inherent strengths. We all go through hard times and can benefit from some support to process and find our own best way forward. My goal is to hold a safe space for you within which we will sit and reflect with compassion. Together we can walk the paths you lead us on with connection and vulnerability.

What I hear most from those who are struggling is that they desperately want change but they cannot see a clear path; they have been dealing with overwhelming symptoms for so long that suffering is part of their routine. Often this daily strain results in unhealthy coping mechanisms that compound the issues and amplify the symptoms. If this sounds like you, please know that you are not alone. Whether your suffering stems from relationship, parenting, interpersonal struggles, or unresolved past trauma, you have the capacity to heal, even when you feel that life is unbearable and change is out of reach.

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with experience working in corrections and community settings. I am a member of ATSA (Association for the Treatment and Prevention of Sexual Abuse) and work with clients who are facing legal issues around sexual offending as well as clients who are struggling with problematic sexual thoughts and behaviours. I can provide a non-judgemental space for those clients who need a safe place to seek help.

Our clinic focus is on helping adults and couples to find a sense of meaning, purpose, and connection in their lives. We provide psychological assessment and counselling services that adhere to evidence-based approaches tailored to your needs and preferences. We are currently accepting patients and you are welcome to check out our website www.thecounsellingpsychologyclinic.com or call/email us (see side for contact info) to learn more about our services and approach. We are currently booking Telehealth sessions via secure encrypted video so you are able to safely access our services from the comfort of your home or office.

I believe in tailoring therapy to you; incorporating elements of your life and history so each meeting feels authentic, meaningful and paves the way for change. This might include first building a narrative around your current concern, working on strategies to tackle symptoms, or diving deeper into the past and the root of your concerns. Whatever the goal, you're in charge of how you want your therapeutic experience to look. I work with children and adults and have a special interest working with anxiety, ADHD, relationship concerns, divorce, trauma, mood disorders, emotional regulation, and suicidal ideation.

When life is overwhelming and you feel alone, I offer a safe space for those who want to tell their story and improve their health and well-being. Everybody needs somebody to talk to. There is no "one-size-fits-all" formula for wellness, which is why I offer a holistic approach to therapy, where collaboration and trust strengthen your unique path to self-discovery. The answers lie within ourselves and in times of crisis, when you may not have friends or family to turn to for help, psychotherapy can offer the support you need to discover the answers within yourself. Flexible hours and session delivery options available.

I work with individuals with a wide-range of concerns and backgrounds but my main areas of focus are working with anxiety, eating disorders, ADHD and addiction issues. In my therapeutic approach, I aim to understand you and your world. Although people may share the same common symptoms, issues, and life’s ups and downs: no two people experience them exactly the same. It is important for me to understand how you experience things, so I can help you find solutions that fit for you. Together we will work collaboratively to figure out what is working for you and how to change the things that are not.

My belief is that psychology is not a “one size fits all” solution. Just as each person differs through their personality, qualities, and life experiences, so does the healing journey and plan of care for each individual. If you are looking to understand where your thoughts, feelings and behaviours might stem from, you are in the right place. I work primarily with youth and adults who struggle with symptoms of depression, anxiety, trauma, and those who are overwhelmed with increased stress in overcoming current life events.

Feeling overwhelmed! Not sure what to do or where to start? I believe the purpose of counselling is to help you develop the necessary skills to help get you through difficult times. I have 15+ years of expertise in treating depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, workplace issues, grief/loss, self-esteem, and personality-related problems. We will explore how to change negative thought patterns, deal with difficult emotions, explore new perspectives, create behavioral changes, improve self worth, enhance relationships communication and connection and create a more meaningful life.

Hello! I believe it is my privilege to walk alongside individuals as they pursue growth and change in their lives. My work is built on the belief that every person holds an inherent worth and dignity that should be respected and honored. My background is in the non-profit field, working with a variety of marginalized populations. I am passionate about connection and authentic relationships and values a sincere, empathetic, and honest therapeutic relationship.

I'm a Registered Provisional Psychologist who was over 8 years of experience working specifically with children, adolescents and their families in a variety of different settings such as schools, community agencies and private practice.  My specific interest includes providing support for a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, low self-esteem and trauma. I primarily utilize a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach, however, I also incorporate different therapeutic modalities in my practice given each individual’s unique needs. This may include ACT, DBT, SFT and CFT.

I work with clients who are seeking to connect, understand, and embrace their own authenticity; people who are looking for self-development and growth. You want to understand yourself in relation to your lived experience, of course pursuing symptom-reduction, but not just that. You want to work toward lasting change, not just a temporary reprieve from whatever is causing them distress. You are open to exploring parts of yourself that you do not like and make you feel uncomfortable because this is where your truth exists, and without knowing or embracing these parts, you will remain only half of your whole and change will not occur.

I am committed to helping people navigate their mental and emotional challenges. I firmly believe that every person deserves a safe and supportive environment to explore their inner world and develop strategies for personal growth and healing. My goal is to walk with you on your journey with compassion, empathy and non-judgment.

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.

I see healing as a holistic, sacred process, deserving honour and witness. I value genuine relationships, while inviting humour into the process. I use an integrative approach to support unique needs and healing. I enjoy working with a range of ages and concerns such as anxiety, stress, lifespan adjustments, relationship concerns, parenting, trauma processing, grief processing, self-esteem, mens & women's issues, character development, caregivers support, frontline workers support. I also enjoy supporting people through spiritual crisis, growth, deconstructing, supporting members of clergy, and spiritual consulting.

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.

If you are ready to create change in your life, I am ready to help! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist, and work from an attachment-based, client-centered approach,.I work hard to support you in deciding on every step of the therapeutic process, because this is all about you! There is no restriction to topic, struggle, situation or trauma, and my years of experience offer insight and empathy in a very genuine way that will resonate with every client. I look forward to meeting, and offer free 15 minute virtual appointments so you have the opportunity to meet me and ask questions!

Whether you have experienced a recent challenging life event or have been struggling with emotional or relational pain or trauma, I am here to assure you that you are not alone on your journey. Maybe you are experiencing anxiety or depression. Maybe you have experienced difficulties in your relationship with yourself, your partner, or your family. Perhaps you feel lost, without a destination and without a direction. You are not alone. You are resilient! Emotional or psychological wounds and difficulties can be very uncomfortable. Yet discomfort in our present situation can often be the soil which helps us grow, change, and thrive.

Life is about finding the perfect balance. It is about reflecting on your successes and faults in a way that adds perspective and enhances your experiences. Counselling can help you navigate a transitional period in your life. Talking with someone can help foster a greater understanding of ourselves and our relationships. I believe that we all long for a secure base from which to explore life’s challenges, and finding someone who offers reassurance and validation can promote a sense of security, confidence, and resilience.
