Female Therapists in Sturgeon County, AB

Hi, I’m Allison and I’m glad you are here. Life can throw a lot of curveballs our way. Some days it can feel as though we are drowning in life stressors and caught in worrying spirals or experiencing task paralysis. Other days may feel doable but then a trauma trigger hits us, and we get stopped in our tracks. A counselling relationship can help us navigate through overwhelming and difficult life circumstances. Reaching out for help is hard but with a little bit of discomfort comes change and growth!

Are you an older teen or adult trying to navigate relational traumas?

I take a directive approach to therapy and enjoy working with someone who is looking to make a change.

Seeking professional help may feel intimidating, but it’s also an incredible act of bravery. As wonderfully stated by Brene Brown, “Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen”. In my years of practice, my clinical focus has been centred around individuals with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, stress, self-esteem concerns, relationship dynamics, life transitions...etc.

As a Registered Psychologist and Registered Play Therapist, I come with over ten years of experience working with children, youth, adults, and families. I offer both in person and virtual services from Spruce Grove, AB and virtual services to the NWT. I have clinical/private, school-based, home, community and group home experience. Many of the children I work with present with trauma, attachment concerns, anxiety, depression, behavioural challenges and difficulties with regulation. Common concerns expressed from adults include stress management, life transitions, anxiety, depression, work-life balance and marital or family issues.

I am committed to providing you with the highest quality of professional services to help you attain the changes you want to make in your life. I have had the privilege of working with and supporting youth, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I work collaboratively with clients to gain insight into thoughts, beliefs, and emotions that are no longer serving them to help them overcome struggles and identify their strengths while utilizing those strengths with individualized strategies and tools to help them reach their goals.

Hi! I am a Provisional Psychologist working at Charis Counselling in West Edmonton. Clients I have worked with in the past have been willing to have difficult conversations with themselves and challenge the way they see and project themselves. While doing this, it is important to acknowledge that any type of positive change is still a step in the direction of their goals! With this balanced perspective, we can work to find the thoughts and paired emotions that are affecting your behaviours, and negatively impacting your life.

At Northern Lights Counselling, my mission is to guide individuals on their transformative journey towards healing, self-discovery, and overall well-being. Inspired by the beauty and magic of the northern lights, I provide a safe and peaceful space for clients to redefine their relationship with alcohol, substances, and addiction, as well as effectively manage stress, anxiety, and depression. I believe in fostering hope, inspiration, and personal growth, supporting our clients as they navigate their path towards lasting change and inner harmony.

I have a passion for helping individuals facing challenges that disrupt their daily lives. I bring extensive experience to supporting Veterans, First Responders, and Emergency Personnel. I specialize in helping individuals overcome the devastating effects of trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder. Whether it stems from combat experiences, emergency responses, or other life events. My therapeutic services span a broad spectrum of issues, including Trauma & PTSD, Addiction, Disordered Eating Behaviors, Depression, Anxiety, and various other concerns.

I work with children, youth, and adults who are looking to understand their unique strengths and challenges through psychological assessment. Psychological assessments can investigate Giftedness, Learning Disorders, ADHD, and Autism. I also work with children, youth, adults and families providing counselling which is action oriented, targeting mood concerns (eg.anxiety/depression), parenting stress, major life transitions and grief and loss. I integrate CBT, ACT and SFT in my approach.

I offer individual adult therapy. On a case-by-case basis, I work with some mature minors. My practice is primarily focused on the treatment of chronic and often, treatment-resistant depression/anxiety, or unclear mood disturbances. At times, this involves healing from a past trauma, attachment "injury", adverse event from childhood, or identity-related challenge. These are the types of issues that I frequently see in my practice.

Hi and welcome! I have experience working with the following: anxiety, depression, teen issues, infidelity, abusive relationships, narcissistic personality disorder, covert narcissism, emotional abuse, domestic abuse, co-dependency, avoidant / anxious attachment styles, couples therapy, setting boundaries, and helping individuals discover who they really are and what is holding them back. I believe that everyone deserves a chance to be heard and understood. Life can be hard but personal growth often comes from the toughest times. There is a light at the end of the tunnel! Accepting a limited amount of new clients at this time.

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.

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.

Are you experiencing burn out, chronic stress, anxiety, or depression? Talking to a psychologist can help. It is common to feel unsure when taking the first step towards working on your mental health. I aspire to ease any uncertainty by compassionately supporting my clients through any concern they wish to explore in our sessions. In my experience, each client’s story is unique. Once I gain an understanding of your individual preferences, strengths, and goals, I will customize an approach drawing on my experience with evidence-based practices to support you in your circumstances.

So many of us struggle with self-doubt, loneliness and time-consuming worry or anxiety that keep us from reaching our potential and living the life we desire. We may feel hopeless and powerless to make changes, feeling that we are incapable, or that there is no way forward. It takes courage to step outside your comfort zone and try something new. Many clients find that when they take the first step into therapy, they experience a newfound sense of hope and possibility. I want to help you see that it’s possible to escape the entrenched patterns that have been holding you back and to experience being in the driver’s seat of your life.

Helping you to navigate life's challenges with support and strategies to find your place of peace and balance.​ Counselling can be an important factor in helping people lead healthier and more fulfilling lives. I am dedicated to providing a confidential, safe and supportive environment for you.

Life is a combination of highs, lows and everything in between. Navigating all of these experiences can be challenging and, at times, overwhelming. That's where I come in. Using a client-centred approach, I support my clients identify their unique struggles and strengths, so that we can map out the steps forward. Throughout the therapeutic process, I use empathy, compassion and evidence based practices to ensure that my clients needs and goals are being met.
