Mindfulness-Based (MBCT) Therapists in Edmonton, AB

If you are struggling with anxiety, post-traumatic experiences, occupational stress injuries or stress I believe that I can help you develop skills and techniques to help overcome the difficult times. Everyone has the ability to learn and overcome challenges but sometimes we need some help create a plan to see the changes we want in our lives. If your willing to work with me then I promise to do my best to help you out or find someone more suited to help you. As a current member of the Canadian Armed Forces I believe that I can bring a unique perspective for other members seeking help for mental health.

Are you looking to move beyond what's plaguing you and walk in freedom and peace? Would you like to gain tools and techniques to be able to conquer your presenting issues? I believe that with insight, clarity, and acceptance, you can learn better self-awareness and take steps towards healing. I provide a safe environment for you to look at unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, losses, and take actions that can help lead you towards healing and feeling lighter.

I help clients shift from just surviving into thriving; realigning with who and how they want to be instead of being hijacked by outdated narratives as a result of past experiences. My focus is on creating safe trauma-informed spaces and inspiring a compassionate curiosity about "who am I?" "How did I get to this point?" "What else might be possible?". I have always been fascinated with how our experiences shape us and how we may discover meaning and inspiration. During this quest I have worked as a strength & conditioning coach, yoga teacher, and counsellor and these experiences have uniquely shaped how I show up as a therapist.

Are you someone who knows how you want to eat and how you want to eat but get stuck somewhere between what you want to put into your mouth and what you actually put into your mouth? Do you see your relationship to food as an emotional expression of what is going on inside of you? I support my clients in getting in touch with their physical hunger cues and then the emotional, spiritual hungers that arise as a result. I have been there. I've done retreats on my eating and my thesis on how we use our body to express internal struggles. There is a you waiting to get out to stand tall and shine. Food & eating can actually be the way out.

Accepting New Clients! Know all the theories and master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul, be another human soul- Carl Jung. Are you looking for someone to talk to? Someone to help you on your journey? Or are you looking for someone to listen to you in a safe and nonjudgemental environment? Well, look no further. My name is Toby John. Welcome to my profile. I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist specializing in couples counselling, sports psychology, anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma. Quality treatment begins with a solid therapeutic relationship between the client and the therapist.

Welcome! I am happy you made your way to my page! I’m Natalie (she/her), a Provisional Psychologist in good standing with the College of Alberta Psychologists. With over a decade of experience in the mental health industry, I’ve had the privilege of working with diverse individuals, from children to seniors, in navigating a vast spectrum of mental, physical, personal, and interpersonal challenges. I am incredibly passionate about supporting clients individually, as couples, and in group settings. I'm here to meet you where you are mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally and create a safe space for exploration and healing.

I am a Registered Clinical Psychologist with experience in both hospital and private practice settings. I believe a holistic approach to client care is important to promote well-being. I consider physical, mental, developmental, behavioral, interpersonal, social, and spiritual factors to understand your needs, to personalize techniques/coping strategies, and to promote personal growth and healing. I work to develop an accepting and understanding environment to help you to become more aware of attitudes, thoughts, and beliefs that are negatively affecting your mood, behaviours, and physiology.

If you are experiencing psychological distress - stress, panic, anxiety, low mood, a loss of pleasure, depression, trauma, troubles sleeping, or going through a difficult life transition - I have proven strategies to help you overcome any hurdle that life may throw at you.

I understand that every person is unique and has different needs. I take time to understand a client’s natural strengths. Working alongside them, clients are able to develop new skills and resources to support them in a way that is complementary and fitting to their lifestyle. With specialized training in trauma, I work with clients who have experienced sexual, physical, emotional and/or financial abuse. Additionally, I work with clients who would like support with anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, and relationships.

Are you ready to feel connected again, to let go of trauma, dysfunctional habits, and fears that have prevented you from moving forward and reaching your goals? I can help. I work in the areas of self-esteem, emotional regulation, eating disorders, addictions, relationships, work, and overall fulfillment in life. Whether you are caught in destructive patterns, experiencing anxiety, depression, panic, unexplainable sadness, or disconnection from yourself, together we can work to help you gain a sense of grounding, safety, healing, and freedom.

I enjoy supporting children, teens and adults towards their goals. I like helping adults and teens to get out of the cycle that has been keeping them from thriving. I hope to provide care that will help you through your struggles, often by using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness and Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) interventions, Self-Havening techniques and Self-Compassion.

Good psychologists devote ample time to listening to and helping their clients. No one should have to feel like they are making an elevator pitch when they see their therapist. I offer longer sessions which allow for deeper discussions and help that is personalized to your lived experience, strengths, and culture. My approach is calming, caring, insightful, and creative, and I'm also trained to discuss topics that some psychologists don't have the comfort or cultural knowledge to address. Together, let's start building a way forward free from struggle with negative emotions and towards a more meaningful and fulfilling life!

My therapeutic approach is rooted in compassion, with a modern and scientific spin on mindfulness to guide you in processing emotions and coping with anxiety and stress. The fundamentals of positive neuroplasticity inspire me to support others in finding hope and creating a new internal reality.

I truly believe that one of the most important factors that determines therapeutic success is a strong therapeutic alliance- as such, I encourage everyone to come as you are and be your authentic self and I will do the same. A goal of mine is to provide a safe space, free of judgement, where we can work together to help reach your personal goals! I like to tailor my approach to each individual and incorporate a lot of collaboration to ensure that each client’s goals and intents are heard and addressed in ways that best suit them.

I support individuals, couples and teens who are navigating grief and trauma including parental loss, death of a loved one, end of a relationship/friendship, separation, pet loss, childhood trauma, medical/health related trauma, physical injury, relational trauma and life transitions. I also support people who are navigating additional challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship issues, self worth/self esteem and chronic pain.

Hello, my name is Christina Ferber, and I am passionate about working with children, youth, and parents. I enjoy working with clients of all ages and with a variety of concerns. I love helping people tap into their inner strength and resources to find hope and build resilience when facing challenges or uncertainty. I have a special interest in positive psychology and mindfulness practices, of which I have experienced numerous benefits in my own life.

Hello and a warm welcome! I am a Registered Psychologist and I have specialized training in Mindfulness and am a trained Mindful Self-Compassion teacher. Over the past decade, I’ve had the privilege to work in a variety of settings providing direct one-on-one support to individuals from many different walks of life. My experiences have taught me that most of us struggle with self kindness and being present, and that developing these skills can be life changing. My view that is you are an expert on your own life and I am privileged to come alongside to provide support and facilitate your journey towards healing and growth.

I deeply believe that the body knows what needs to be healed and holds the keys to that healing. Our systems, however, are so good at keeping us safe that we often can't access those keys alone. I use a range of tools to facilitate that healing, including conversation, meditation, visualization, mindfulness, IFS, AEDP, and sometimes energy work depending on the individual I am working with. I aim to be feminist, trauma-informed, and anti-oppressive, which means the client is always the expert on their own experience. We work collaboratively using a range of tools to find the right path forward for you.

I offer personalized therapy that works. I'm committed to helping you feel better, achieve your goals, and overcome any challenge, be it intrusive thoughts, painful and intense emotions, or posttraumatic stress from issues like combat or sexual trauma, accidents, abuse, assault, death, or suicide. I work with couples and adults dealing with trauma, posttraumatic stress (PTSD), anxiety, panic, depression, grief, ADHD, and relationship issues. I focus on supporting couples and adults within military, police, correctional, emergency medical, healthcare, and fire rescue services confronting challenges like PTSD, depression, and anxiety.

I believe that all people have an innate tendency towards connection and growth. Using a compassionate and honest approach, I work with you to access your internal strengths, and to better understand your motivations, behaviours, emotions, and thoughts. We will collaborate to identify goals and move towards more joy, beauty, connection, love, and fulfillment. We can also uncover natural resilience to move through the difficult parts of life. I have experience with a variety of issues, including but not limited to, depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship distress, and climate emotions/grief.

I use a psychodynamic approach that helps to reprocess themes and negative cognitions that may have begun in childhood. I utilize inner child work / shadow work, EMDR, and mindfulness which helps to process depression, anxiety, trauma, C-PTSD, developmental traumas, narcissistic abuse, grief and bereavement, as well as general life transitions.

Welcome, and thank you for being here. Reaching out for support and finding the right therapist for you can feel like a daunting task. My goal is to create an open, supportive, and collaborative environment with a focus on helping you feel more connected to yourself and the world around you, to make sense of complex emotions and challenges, and to feel better. As a student therapist, a member of the Psychological Association of Alberta, and under the supervision of a Registered Psychologist, I will strive to provide you with the greatest level of care possible.
