Motivational Interviewing Therapists in T3E

"Your spark can become a flame and change everything" Hi, I'm Tiffany Petite. I am an evidence based - practitioner who has extensive training and experience in counselling. Have you been stuck in a rut that you can’t get out of? The more you procrastinate the harder it is to achieve your goal to the point you start questioning yourself. This leads to self judgement, shame and blame. Change starts with a single point of action. If things are not going as planned, you are shifting the tide today. I would like to help you facilitate the change you are looking for.

Clients of Adaptive Minds Counselling seek our services for many reasons. You may be looking to cope better with challenging emotions, manage challenging life and work situations, gain better insight into yourself, change unhelpful patterns of behavior, or build new strengths and skills to improve your life. We aim to provide you with a comfortable counselling experience where you can feel supported and move towards improving things quickly.

Welcome! I am a doctoral-level clinical and forensic psychologist licensed with the College of Alberta Psychologists since 2004. I have extensive experience in community clinics, inpatient settings, correctional facilities, and private practice. I have many years of experience preparing court reports, providing psychological assessments, and conducting individual and group cognitive-behavioural therapy. I am a member of the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers (ATSA), and I have a wealth of experience in assessing and treating problematic sexual interests and behaviours.

Empowering clients to enhance coping and move towards meaningful change. I am a clinical and forensic psychologist experienced in providing assessment and therapeutic services to individuals who present with a vast range of difficulties, from relatively mild psychosocial stressors to more acute forms of adversity. I see individuals from the general public, law enforcement, and individuals referred from different agencies such as schools, probation, CSC, law firms, and the courts. I provide individual and group therapy. My orientation is client-centered, non-judgmental and balanced, recognizing the value of human experience and resiliency.

I love walking along side clients as they decide to change their lives. It’s your birthright to live in joy, experience sovereignty, and live your souls purpose. I specialize in trauma (using EMDR, ART, mindfulness, and somatic movement). I also work with clients experiencing anxiety, addictions, eating disorders, and grief. Trauma sessions are 1.5 hours in length and talk therapy approach, 1 hour.

I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist with over 20 years of experience working within the fields of mental health and education. I offer a trauma-informed, personalized approach to treating my clients and recognize the intersectional nature of people’s lives and identities. I have worked and continue to work in schools, a non-profit organization, and private practice. I love working with youth, families and adults with varying complexities and vulnerabilities that include diverse socio-emotional concerns, depression, anxiety, academic concerns, peer and family relationship concerns, and complex trauma-related disorders.

Over the past ten years I have worked in various psychological environments including secure mental health facilities, hospitals, schools, and private practice settings. My personal experiences with debilitating anxiety, depression, and ADHD over the years ultimately led to my decision to become a clinical psychologist. Experiencing these conditions first hand and personally utilizing their various treatment methods, adds an additional layer of expertise and understanding that surpasses what can be learned from a textbook or classroom setting.

I approach therapy from a trauma-informed lens and have a strong behavioral approach that works well for clients with anxiety, self-esteem issues, stress, relationship issues, sexuality, addictions, abuse, suicidal ideations, and trauma. While I am a great listener and create space for my clients to be heard and validated, I also assign homework assignments that help my clients gain a better understanding of themselves and their lives and I will challenge you to become the change you desire in your life.

I believe people behave the way they do for really good reasons, even if they are unhelpful. Children are complex creatures and raising them can be a struggle, especially while meeting life's demands. Whether your child struggles with regulating emotions, has difficult behaviors or you yourself are having trouble with mood, mental health or managing stressors, I am here to help. I offer wholistic assessment and treatment to bring the peace, you and your family deserve. I work with children, adults and families struggling with a range of mental health and relationship concerns. Your home is my office. I will come to you.

Hello! I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist who is passionate about normalizing mental health struggles and empowering others to recognize and build their resilience to create transformational change. I strive to connect with my clients, develop a supportive and understanding relationship, and create an environment of safety, empathy, compassion, patience, and acceptance.

Collectively, our mental health has never been a bigger priority than now. For many of us, our foundation of coping has been shaken to the core. We are trying to find ways of navigating through difficult emotions, sensations, urges, thoughts and relationship issues that may be bubbling up and overflowing on the surface. With these difficulties, we might find ourselves coping in extremes, like a swinging pendulum: either trying to over-control our situation, or, perhaps, losing control entirely. I would love to support you in resolving these difficulties, slowing down the pendulum, and hopefully finding a 'middle path'.

Are you surviving rather than thriving? Going through the motions but not really feeling 'it'? You are not alone! Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, stressed, sad, chronically anxious, depressed, unable to relax and enjoy life, or simply unclear about where to go or what to do next, there is hope! It is my goal and honour to work collaboratively with you, to support you in clarifying and creating the changes YOU are wanting to see in your life, as quickly and cost effectively as possible. I am consistently amazed by the courage and resilience of the human spirit to create and maintain change!

Are you feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you spend time numbing yourself through addictive patterns, or becoming easily overwhelmed and stressed? The implementation of connecting with yourself and others is often harder than it sounds. l support people with connecting more authentically to themselves, people, and their life. I work with adults who experience a wide range of psychological and health related concerns. Some of these issues include addiction, body image, trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship concerns, chronic health conditions, disease management, and self-esteem.

I love collaborating with my clients to help them feel better both emotionally and physically. I draw on a variety of evidence-based approaches including: Cognitive-Behavioural, Solution-Focused, and Narrative therapy. My goal is to help you conceptualize the problem in a way that makes sense and leads to meaningful change. My areas of specialization include: Anxiety, Depression, Body Image Struggles, Weight Management, Disordered Eating, IBS, Relationship/Career decisions, and overall stress management.

Are you in a long-term relationship marked with stress, anger and frustration, high conflict, difficult and disrespectful communication, sexual and intimacy problems, and ongoing emotional hurts? Are memory and attention difficulties affecting your current functioning? Perhaps you could benefit from having an expert who understand your needs and assist you in the process of changing old patterns and develop more helpful interpersonal relating skills and better cognitive health. For more than 25 years, I worked overseas and locally helping individuals and couples from different cultures solve their problems.

I’m glad you’re here! I am dedicated to providing a client-centered approach that puts your expertise on your own life front and center. My primary objective is to meet you exactly where you are on your journey and to recognize the unique experiences that have shaped you as an individual. With 8 years of counselling experience, I bring a depth perspective to help you delve into the underlying causes of your difficulties. By recognizing, understanding, and accepting the core issues that contribute to your struggles, we can work together to bring about lasting change.

Hi, I’m Danielle! I offer in person and virtual support for children, youth and adults. My approach to therapy is grounded in meaning making, developing insight and empowerment. I am an LGBTQ therapist who brings lived experience and understanding to my work with LGBTQ+ folks that goes beyond allyship. My areas of focus include neurodiversity, LGBTQ+ folks, women’s mental health, and helping professionals. I offer a discounted hourly rate for helping professionals to reduce barriers to mental health care for the helpers of our community.

Whether you have been to counselling before or not, I hope to offer a safe space for you to feel heard and connected.

I value you as the expert of your own experience and believe that you have the tools necessary to find a path to coping, healing, and growth. I would be honoured to support you to find those tools.

Do you feel like you are living in misalignment with the things you care about? That you're living with unmet potential and spend time focusing on things that don't match your values? At work or in your relationships, this could be showing up as a big sense of distraction — even though you’re doing so much, it seems like you’re getting nowhere. You have high hopes and big dreams, but feel disconnected and stuck. Something might feel “off” and it’s hard for you to feel motivated to keep going through motions without procrastinating and delaying. I work with clients to improve their overall performance and life satisfaction.

I enjoy working with children, pre-teens, and adolescents (ages 5-18) as well as with young adults and parents. I specialize in depression, anxiety, self-esteem, emotional regulation, ADHD, family/peer relationship difficulties, life transitions, academic issues, perfectionism, and trauma-related concerns. I feel that it is important to develop a secure, trusting connection with my clients so that they feel comfortable discussing their concerns, exploring what help they need, to gain some insight, and to work with me on addressing these issues. I feel that the client is the expert and I offer a supportive, nonjudgement approach.

I also provide Clinical Supervision for Provisional Psychologists looking to register in Alberta. Are you ready for a change but don’t know where to start? Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss or having difficulty in your current relationship? Whether you are dealing with a major challenge in your life or you have issues from your past which are impacting your ability to cope, I can help.

Welcome! Right about now, things don't feel right. You strive to do your best, but lately, you've been feeling stuck. No one would know it b/c you present really well - but privately, you're hurting on the inside. The truth is things don't feel right in one or more areas of your life. You're tired of dealing with self-doubt & negative thoughts, feeling stressed, overwhelmed, or burnt out, and not being confident & happy like you want. You might even be tired of carrying around that internal pain you've been trying to keep tucked deep inside. Secretly, you wonder if you can feel better & get through the stuff that's holding you back.

I am a clinical psychologist who works with individuals and couples. Some have been struggling for a long time while others have lost their footing in the face of recent life stress. Change and growth happen when individuals feel that they are taken seriously, understood, accepted, and supported. In this context, my clients become more open, aware, and honest about the full range of their thoughts and feelings. Hope and courage grow as they face life's challenges. They learn new, flexible, and effective ways to think and respond, alter unhelpful patterns in relationships, and gain greater self-acceptance and resilience.
