Depression Therapists in St Albert, AB
Located on the South side, I have 15 years experience, and keep updated with regular training.
Life is NOT easy! We did not sign up for many of the difficulties we face most days. More often than not, we simply feel STUCK. We find ourselves in personal and relational situations where we are completely stumped as to how to make effective changes. Other times we DO know what is best, but an inner reaction takes over–and we can't seem to do that right thing! Hello! So frustrating! Maybe your thoughts or feelings seem like they are out of your control, and you just need help to sort them out and find a way forward. I can help you with any of these challenges.

I believe we are shaped by adverse life experiences because of the imprints they can leave on our bodies and minds.
Throughout my social work journey, I have worked with individuals in a variety of settings, including correctional centers, outpatient mental health clinics, community crisis, and inpatient psychiatry. I practice from a non-judgmental and empathetic counselling framework in which all of us have the capacity to change and grow, no matter our background or past trauma.

I integrate narrative therapy, feminist approaches, mindfulness-based approaches, Hakomi, EMDR, sensorimotor psychotherapy, solution-focused therapy, and cognitive behavioural therapy.
One of the things I'm most passionate about is supporting adults with ADHD. I offer a neurodiversity affirming approach to therapy that attends to the grief, anger, and internalized messages that folks may struggle with. My approach is based on the foundational belief that people are the experts in their own life, and my role is support you to untangle and discover your own voice/desires/abilities. I genuinely see the good in everyone, and hope to work collaboratively with you to make more meaning in your life. Ultimately, we work together to find what works for you in your unique journey in life to create meaningful change.

I will provide you with an experience that is both warm and caring, but also enlightening and knowledgeable.
Are you no longer able to manage like you used to? Are you dissatisfied in your relationship and feel unsure what to do next? Are you feeling angrier, sadder, or more irritable? Life can often send challenges our way that we aren't prepared for, which can cause us to feel stuck, scared, and lost. Ultimately, we are all looking to feel at ease in our own skin, fulfilled in our relationships, satisfied with our lives, and free to be ourselves. Therapy is a chance to step back from the way we have always done things so we can make sense of what is going on around and within us. To reconnect with what matters most in a safe environment.

Art therapy is for everyone.
Art Therapy is great for youth & adults who have difficulty expressing themselves verbally. Experience with art making is Not necessary because we use materials in multiple ways. This mode of therapy is effective for those who have experienced trauma, by giving the client an opportunity to heal in a preverbal manner. The therapeutic use of art materials is good for anyone struggling with anxiety or stress. Working with an Art Therapist can untangle thoughts, re-imagine past patterns and create multiple ways to get unstuck. Instead of having to form thoughts through speech, we process through imagery, in a hands on manner.

On a personal note, I come from a big Ukrainian family and find flow by cultivating balance in nature outside of work.
I work with individual adults across the lifespan who are interested in holistic mental health. I use mindfulness as a pillar of my practice and strive to embody this and the other Hakomi (Mindful Somatic Psychotherapy) principles of organicity, holism, non-violence, and unity. Embracing the mind-body connection may help facilitate new beginnings and lay a different foundation through noticing patterns, creating new habits, and freeing limiting beliefs. Additional specialized training and interests are in attachment theory (relationships), polyvagal theory (working with the nervous system), and post-traumatic growth and recovery.

Often the first phone call, text, or email is the hardest one to send.
I enjoy working with anyone who maybe curious how their early experiences maybe disrupting their current relationships, goals or dreams. I work with people who have experienced recent or historic difficult or traumatic events and need help putting the pieces back together. I also enjoy working with people who are experiencing major life transitions, either preparing for a new relationship or moving through the grief of a current relationship that is changing.

I have a deep appreciation for my clients because I know it isn't easy to schedule therapy and put in the work.
Welcome! I support professionals, young adults, and new parents, most often with concerns related to stress, anxiety, parenting, self-growth, and relationships. My approach is warm and direct; I value collaboration, tough questions, and new perspectives as much as I value humor. I also take a special interest in how our bodies process our experiences. Have your emotions ever shown up as physical sensations like tension, headaches, back pain, or jitters? It's like your body has its own language and is trying to join the conversation about the experiences, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that make up the very unique person you are.
