ADHD Therapists in Stony Plain, AB

Specialized Assessments: Do you require a psychological assessment to give you insight into you or your child’s psychological functioning and to provide you with information on how you or your child could be supported? Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, depression or anxiety? Do you difficulty with learning, inattention or poor memory? I am a doctoral level psychologist and I provide neuropsychological, psychological/mental health and psychoeducational assessments to children, youth and adults.

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.

If you hope to get to the root of an issue and begin making steps toward improving your or your child's situation, I can help. I believe in the potential of each and every person who walks through my door. As Director of Little Oaks Psychology, I oversee a team of talented therapists. Through assessment work, I apply a strengths-based and positive psychology approach to my process. I specialise in ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, and complex behavioural problems (e.g., self-harm, childhood OCD, and oppositionality). I strive to empower my clients with self-knowledge and insight. I work mindfully to empower clients in growth and resilience.

I truly understand that "Life is what happens when you are making other plans” - Allen Saunders. If life’s other plans have left you distressed, fighting battles that seem to never end, or feeling defeated, you are not alone. I can help you make sense of your experiences and create a fulfilling life full of peace and joy again. When you reach for support to make sense of your world you can free yourself from underlying patterns and conflicts, and develop the insight and skills to empower yourself. Peace and contentment are attainable with the right help. Reaching out is the first step.

If you are looking for an experienced therapist with specialized training supporting mood disorders, anxiety, learning disabilities/ ADHD, then contact Terilyn to take the next step in getting the support that will help you to reach your goals. Terilyn offers some groups and also offers psychoeducational assessment to support applications for specialized services and academic accommodations.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes, life hurts. We can grow through the pain when we turn towards it and use our strengths, gifts and relationships to create change, make meaning, or perhaps simply accept. As a professional counsellor, I will offer an inclusive, accepting, and safe space, and combine my knowledge with yours to help. I hold a Master of Social Work and a Bachelor of Social Work degree and am registered with the Alberta College of Social Workers. I have worked in the addictions and mental health field for over 20 years, in direct service (15 years) and as a program consultant and manager.

For as long as I can remember I have been passionate about connecting with and supporting people in any way that I can. When I started my journey as an undergraduate student, I became even more compelled to learn about the human experience and all that comes with it. Having this opportunity to continue my learning in psychological theories and the complexities involved in each of our unique experiences led me to pursuing my graduate degree in counselling psychology and a career in mental health.

I am a Registered Psychologist, skilled at supporting individuals living with complex trauma, attachment deficits, difficulties with emotion regulation, and self-harming behaviours. I am committed to supporting individuals in identifying their own unique inner strengths and capacity for resilience, through an attachment lens, focused on building and strengthening relationships. I understand that people are the experts in their own lives and offer specific, individualized tools that they can utilize throughout their lives.

Welcome! Have you been contemplating therapy for quite some time now but feel overwhelmed and unsure of what your next steps should be? Maybe you are going through some new life transitions and the changes are causing stress or anxiety. Or, maybe you have experienced past life events that have made you feel like you are stuck and unable to move forward in a healthy way. These issues might be affecting your wellness and also your relationships, education, or career aspirations. I work holistically to support folks to deepen their connections to their mind, body, soul, spirit, emotions & community to ensure their goals are being met.

Life often doesn’t go as planned & that’s ok! We all experience hard times. Let’s work together to achieve YOUR goals & explore your strengths. I believe you can lead a full & happy life while managing trauma, mental health or relationship stress. I believe in holistic healing. This means helping you to meet your emotional, physical, relational, & spiritual needs. One of my passions is to partner with nature, spirituality/ faith, & animals to create a safe space. I like to think outside the box & ideas of what therapy “should be “. We can be indoors or outdoors? Would you like our service Dog Doug to join our session ?

Ever since I can recall, I've been intrigued by the complexity of the human mind. My journey in psychology began as an undergraduate, where I delved into the foundational theories and the more I learned, the more I realized that psychology is not just a subject; it's a lens where we can understand ourselves and others. I believe that every individual's unique, and there is no one-size-fits-all solution to psychological well-being. My approach is deeply personalized, focusing on your specific needs, goals, and strengths. I work collaboratively with you to develop a tailored treatment plan that aligns with your values and aspirations.

Humor, genuine compassion and empathy are necessary for healing - especially the humor part! Which is why they are benchmarks of my clinical practice. Combined together, the healing force created is a 'game changer' in people's lives. My approach to psychotherapy is person centered (congrats, you are unique! Your therapy should be too), grounded in attachment theory (relationships are our friend! Don't argue...everyone needs a friend) and developmental psychology (we all go through life changes, change suucks, but it's unavoidable). All this guides our path to wellness. Heads up - standard credential speech ahead...
