Evaspare Inc. Private Practice Coaching & Consulting
Registered Social Worker
Business Coaching for Therapists. You started your private practice to gain work-life balance, to be your own boss and to work on your terms. You know running a private practice is the next logical step in your career, you have the vision, you’re ready to put in the work but you just don’t know where to go from here. The number 1 thing that prevents therapists from taking the next step in their private practice journey is business overwhelm. Business overwhelm occurs when there’s unclear direction, guidance or resources to manage the (many) moving parts of running a private practice. If this is happening for you, I can help. When business overwhelm hits - developing realistic goals, taking strategic action, and implementing effective processes can make all the difference. And sometimes, all you really need is access to right products and tools to make running a private practice a little bit easier. Let's work together to create a strategy plan so you grow your private practice. Whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been in private practice for a while, our products and services can help you design a therapy practice that fits your life. Check out my website to book your free, no obligation, 15-minute consultation.

Adam Henley MSc, RN VIDEO THERAPY
Consortia Health Care Inc.
Mental Health Therapist + Stroke Recovery Coach
Welcome! I’m Adam, a Registered Nurse and Mental Health Therapist with a strong interest in psychotherapy and counselling for neurological conditions. I bring over 16 years professional experience to your healing journey, and was awarded a Master of Science in Psychology with Distinction in 2021. I also maintain national certification in Community Health Nursing, and have completed additional training in health psychology, motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am continually inspired by the work patients take on every day to live with chronic conditions. In fact, my Masters thesis explored the experience of fatigue and social isolation. I continue to follow the frontiers of interoception (or body self-consciousness) and study how bodily sensations help us form predictions and emotions. Many mental health symptoms are based on complex evaluations of sensory data, allowing our brains to form predictions. Symptoms may help us to cope with environmental stressors. In this way, mental health symptoms are powerful messengers of body-environmental interactions that can be used as a guide to your best life! As a Registered Nurse, my visits are highly affordable yet also eligible for reimbursement via your health spending account (HSA) or tax-deductible as a medical expense.
Daya Montakhebi-Tehrani CCC
Perception Psychotherapy
Psychotherapist
Life can be messy, and trauma has a way of showing up uninvited - leaving us feeling stuck, disconnected, or not quite “enough.” But those experiences don’t have to define you. Healing isn’t about erasing the past; it’s about reclaiming your story, rediscovering your strengths, and stepping into the life you deserve. It’s not easy, but growth doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful. Together, we’ll explore the beliefs holding you back, celebrate what makes you you, and create space for hope, confidence, and self-worth to shine through. What sets me apart is my ability to combine professional expertise with genuine care and curiosity about who you are - not just what you’re struggling with. I tailor each session to fit YOU, blending trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and creative techniques. No cookie-cutter solutions here - just a space where you can feel seen, heard, and understood.
Tomasz (Tom) Rapacki MC, R. Psych
Cultured Psychology Services
Psychologist
Good help takes time, which is why I personally make that time for my 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! Tom is a specialist in trauma, anxiety, depression, and culture. He is a published speaker/author on culture and counselling. Tom draws upon proven and reliable therapies including CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and mindfulness. He is also the only Alberta psychologist offering an evidence-based, culturally-adapted depression therapy for Asian-Canadians. I invite you to contact me for a free consultation or to book online. I will gladly spend a few minutes to talk to you about your options. I work from a no-compromises approach, offering longer sessions (up to 50% more time—75 min) at no extra charge so that we can get more done sooner. I offer sessions in English and Polish and partial services in Mandarin.

Erica Lane Psychology
Registered Psychologist
People often come to therapy seeking support for anxiety, depression, stress, and trauma. Perhaps you are struggling with perfectionism, low self-esteem, or feelings of never being good enough. Maybe you are hurting from harmful childhood experiences or navigating difficult family relationships as an adult. You might feel stuck repeating the same patterns, but not know why. Therapy can help. Together, we'll address the difficulties you're experiencing in the present, and do a deep-dive to understand the "why" of these difficulties and heal old wounds. My style is gentle, collaborative, non-pathologizing, and trauma-informed. I use attachment-based, EMDR, cognitive-behavioral, self-compassion, and person-centered approaches. As an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist, I am committed to providing sensitive, culturally-informed, competent, non-judgmental, and affirmative services. Together, we will explore what brings you to therapy and what your goals are, then set the conditions for you to feel better and for you to create real change in your life. The first step is often the hardest - thank you for being here, and I would be honoured to walk alongside you in your journey.

I am a registered Clinical Psychologist in Edmonton, Alberta. I have worked in both hospital and private practice settings. I work primarily with adults contending with: depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), trauma, abuse, grieving, substance abuse, and personality disorders. I have a special interest in fostering well-being in my clients (not just addressing symptoms) – that is, finding meaning and purpose in life, feeling fulfilled, feeling empowered, building self-esteem, and fostering healthy relationships. I have eclectic training and I tailor therapy to the needs and interests of my clients. I believe the type of therapy provided should be supported by research, but also must be in-line with a person’s worldview to be effective.

Psychologist
I am a registered provisional psychologist who is committed to helping people who feel stuck in their life or are suffering. I have researched and published on the subject of how parental mental illness impacts the family system and how growing up in a family with a parent who is mentally unwell may affect a person’s decisions as an adult and negatively impact adult romantic relationships. Mental illness can adversely impact not only those who suffer from it but also their relatives and those around them. I am committed to reducing the negative impact of mental illness through my work as a therapist. I have studied, traveled and worked in different countries. I completed my undergraduate degree in Spain, my Master's degree in Psychology in the UK, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) at Harvard Medical School and post graduate studies in Canada. I have specialized training in cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), Gottman Couples Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy. I enjoy working with individuals, children and couples. I use a client-centred approach. The treatment I provide is flexible and individualized, honouring the unique nature of each person I see.

Psychologist
Relationships, Finding Meaning & Contentment, Cross-Cultural Competence I'm dedicated to supporting individuals, couples, and families work toward a sense of contentment, competence, and peace in their lives and relationships. Main Areas of Focus: Navigating the struggle to find meaning and purpose through exploration of unanswered questions about yourself or the world, moving through experiences of loneliness, sadness, worry, guilt or shame, or working to identify what might be getting in the way of your life's goals. Finding love and contentment in your relationships. Relationships can feel confusing and at times we may feel we are stuck in a vortex of repeated reactions and mounting afflictions. Yet, Esther Perel states the perennial truth: "The quality of our relationships determines the quality of our lives... and healthy human connection has transformative power..." Start the conversation in a safe, confidential, and open environment. It is your story and your journey, and I am so interested in hearing it. Qualifications & Experience: My work has taken me to the US, Qatar, Spain, Pakistan, India, South East Asia, Mexico, and Australia, and I feel these varied cultural experiences allow me to counsel from a place of compassion and non-judgment. I completed my undergraduate degree with honours at the University of Calgary, followed by a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology at the University of Alberta. I have additional training in third wave Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance & Commitment Therapy), Somatic Experiencing/Trauma Informed Care and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. I have experience working with multicultural individuals and families and my Master's project explored cross-cultural competence in therapy. I am also a Gottman trained couples therapist with specialized training in recovery from affairs.
Tara Lutchman M.A.
Edgar Psychological
Psychologist
I am experienced in providing both mindfulness-based therapy and that of the more ‘classic’ psychodynamic approach to help clients heal from and cope more effectively with difficulties having to do with mood disorders, eating disorders, ADHD, addiction, sexual abuse, complex trauma (i.e. repeated painful experiences of betrayal, abandonment, or boundary violations); grief, disrupted attachment in early childhood, as well as experiences of discrimination, exclusion, or shaming on the basis of sexuality, sexual orientation, cultural identity, or anything else that unjustly marks an individual as inferior. The therapy I do comes from a culturally humble, feminist, trauma-informed, growth-oriented perspective. I draw also from my 12 years being a yoga and meditation instructor and my other, varied life experience. Whenever I can, I’m eager to learn anything new that could help me help my clients live fuller and more contented, connected, conscious lives. With calm, full engagement; compassion, and an open mind, I make it my business to put people of all walks of life at ease. I’m committed to guiding and accompanying my clients toward a better version of themselves and feel strongly about practicing what I preach.

Lauren Wiles BPE, B.Ed., M.C.
Edgar Psychological
Psychologist
I am a Registered Psychologist who passionately believes in the power of therapeutic conversation and human connection. I approach therapy using a “big picture” framework with a balance of head and heart, believing in the power of attending to our thinking patterns as well as our felt sense. I have extensive experience working with childhood, developmental and adult trauma and understand these traumatic events to be relative to the person experiencing them. I support individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties and emotional disregulation and reactivity. I use a client centered approach to explore the internalization of our lived experiences and how this may be impacting the way we show up in the world. Real benefits can result from fostering a healthy relationship with oneself. I aim to facilitate this process through deepening the understanding of individual and universal needs using a compassionate lens, while challenging our inner critics and moving from a place of self-judgement to self-acceptance. I am currently taking on child, adolescent and adult clients. When working with teens, I engage collaboratively with parents who are in “the thick of” raising adolescent children. I aim to support my clients to explore the multiple contributing factors of the presenting situation and develop communication skills that will benefit the ever changing parent-teen relationship dynamic. I graduated from the University of Alberta with two Bachelor degrees in 2006 (Physical Education and Education in Special Needs). After working with Children Services for many years I found my professional calling and completed my Masters of Counseling in 2012. I am a member in good standing of the College of Alberta Psychologists and the Psychologists' Association of Alberta.

Catalyst Counselling and Psychotherapy
Registered Psychologist
Are you ready to move beyond coping and toward change and healing? I help clients achieve their goals by introducing practical strategies/skills, while simultaneously working through the causes of issues so that symptoms reduce in the long term. This may involve re-evaluating your thinking, improving awareness and regulation of emotions, getting in tune with your values, identifying parts of yourself that are in conflict, or making peace with past experiences... Everyone's needs are different, so I will work with you to create a personalized treatment approach. I work with anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, regulating emotions, anger, existential issues (life direction, purpose, meaning...), and LGBTQ+ issues (in addition to the issues listed below). I am passionate about working with adults of all ages, teens 13+, and LGBTQ+ identifying individuals. Please reach out by email if you'd like to set up a free 15-minute phone consultation to discuss what you are looking for in therapy and in a potential therapist. Perhaps we can work together to meet your goals.

If you struggle to feel deserving of love, kindness and respect; to set healthy boundaries for yourself; if you're often hurt in relationships with partners, family, friends and co-workers, I may be the right therapist for you. In counselling, I can help you heal your relationship with yourself, feel empowered to have healthier relationships with others, and help you change beliefs that are no longer serving you. You can learn to have love, kindness and respect for yourself. I enjoy working with clients from many different walks of life, including people who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community, and older adults. I also specialize in helping clients heal from trauma. Traumatic events overwhelm our ability to cope, and can have lasting impacts on our lives. After trauma, it may be difficult to feel like yourself, feel safe, maintain healthy relationships, and even leave the house. Healing from trauma is absolutely possible. I bring experience, compassion and a playful personality to my work. I approach counselling as a collaborative effort, in which your self-knowledge and life experiences are valued. Please call or email to set up a free 15 minute phone consultation to discuss how I can help.

I am a Somali-Canadian therapist with extensive lived experiences navigating two identities. I am a Registered Social Worker with a Clinical Master of Social Work and have practiced across the spectrum of the social services field for 15 years. I understand that change takes patience and self-compassion which is a struggle in a world that demands individual responsibility for systemic oppression. My approach to therapy is: pro-Black, pro-choice, pro-queer, pro-trans, and focuses on being an affirming and safe therapist. I support all cultural backgrounds, sexual orientations and gender identities. My passions are grief, trauma, relationships, and identity/life transitions. Some of the modalities that I use are Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Culturally Responsive Grief Processing. One of my goals is to empower marginalized individuals to embrace the validity of their experiences. I work steadily with clients to reframe outlooks on their shortcomings, through recognition of external influences (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.). Let me support you to shift your internal dialogue from self-blame to self-acceptance.

Registered Psychologist
The way you relate to yourself and the world around you can have a big impact on your life. Over time, you may create barriers that prevent you from having the relationships you want. You may create walls, finding it hard to connect with people, to trust others or trust yourself. You may doubt people care about you, or stress over how to act in social situations. You may feel anxious and worried all the time. You may feel like you want to run and hide. It may seem like, no matter what you’ve tried, your life isn’t what you’d like it to be. At Seaglass Psychology, I can help you heal your relationship with yourself and others, and the way these have been shaped by low self-worth, anxiety, and trauma. I will try to build a great therapeutic bond with you, and to make you feel safe enough to both laugh and work through difficult emotions. My goal in our work together is to help you have a joyful, fulfilling life. I work from a feminist, multicultural, and intersectional perspective, with adults of all backgrounds. However you identify, I aim to make the space I work in safer and affirming for all folxs. I welcome clients of any gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, and body size. Polyamorous clients welcome. I am a kink-aware therapist. También ofrezco terapia en español.

Do you struggle with worry, sadness, or difficulty managing your thoughts or feelings? Are you frustrated by doing the same things over and over? Are you ready to make a change? Therapy can help you figure out why you feel the way you do and help you make the changes you need to feel better. This opens up the possibility of building the life you want. Imagine feeling stable and safe, fully present, and more connected to yourself and others; trusting yourself; making peace with your past; and achieving your goals. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation. My practice is diverse but I have particular expertise in working with chronic feelings of sadness, loneliness, or alienation; chronic feelings of anxiety and fear; difficulty understanding and managing intense feelings; food and body image issues; obsessive or repetitive thoughts and behaviour; addictions; work or school-related stress. People are complex and unique and so good therapy is not one-size-fits-all. We therefore draw from a wide assortment of tools to select strategies that will work for you. This will help you make changes from the inside out by engaging both your mind and body. I offer in-person sessions in Edmonton and online video sessions across BC and Alberta.
