Therapists near South Central Edmonton helping Families with Grief Amp Bereavement

Whether it is depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, addictions, grief, or any other concern that may impact mental health negatively, I can help. I take pride in providing a culturally-sensitive environment where my clients can feel safe and be candid. I provide support to my clients by assisting them in fostering problem solving techniques and coping strategies that have the potential to have an immediate positive impact. I believe that people are resilient, dynamic and have their own strengths which can be the foundation for therapy. My approach is strength-based and incorporates motivational interviewing, solution-focused, and cognitive-behavioural therapy. These approaches have been successful in addressing mental health, relationships, addictions, behavioural concerns, and more. Ultimately I strive to promote a supportive and non-judgemental environment where my clients can feel confident in reaching their goals.

Is it time to get some help with making a change in your life? Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns despite trying your best to do something different? My goal is to support and help people to become their best selves, whether it be to increase self-esteem, work through issues from your past, or address your struggles with a bad habit or addiction.

The relentless demands of modern life often compel us to overwork, seek validation, and suppress aspects of ourselves we fear may not be accepted. Over time, these patterns can lead to exhaustion and disconnection from our authentic selves, leaving us feeling drained, unfulfilled, and out of alignment. I believe that much of this struggle stems from the hidden or “shadow” parts of ourselves—the emotions, desires, and traits we’ve learned to suppress. Through shadow work, we can bring these parts into the light with curiosity and compassion, unraveling unconscious patterns that drive stress, anxiety, and burnout. Together, we’ll explore these dynamics using trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and creative approaches, empowering you to reconnect with your truth. This journey is about more than just relief—it’s about rediscovering your innate wholeness and aligning your life with what truly matters to you. Whether you’re looking to heal, grow, or reclaim your vitality, I’m here to walk alongside you. Let’s uncover the authentic, vibrant life you deserve and take the first step forward together.

As a Danish transpersonal counsellor, psycho-spiritual therapist, and mentor with 25 years of professional experience, I bring a deeper approach to counselling and therapy, inviting you to step beyound the endless working on yourself and the past - to offer you a different possibility inherent to your first self. Inside us all lives the You that knows and sees, and loves - but most often hidden and forgotten, covered by conditioned, survival oriented selves. To awaken and connect to that level of us, we need to go deeper than the surface life struggles, all our ideas about ourselves, and others and learn to listen to something else inside that holds the answers our overused minds can't find, and comprehend. Please visit my website to learn more about my approach, and sign up for a free meet & greet online if you want to explore whether working with me is for you. And if you want to listen to my free guided meditations, you will also find them there. Looking forward to connect. Suzan

Hello and welcome! My therapy practice is collaborative, compassionate, and respectful of diversity. I have 20 years of experience supporting my clients' mental health and helping them to overcome problems and challenges. I use many therapeutic approaches including CBT, EMDR, and others. I offer a free 15-minute initial phone consultation to new clients. I'm looking forward to talking with you!

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.

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.

If your low self-esteem and anxiety make it difficult to navigate your relationships, I’m here to help. Maybe you struggle with negative self-talk, setting boundaries, and expressing your needs. You may feel confused and stuck, not knowing how to have the relationships you crave. Working through these challenges is my specialty, within a warm space where both laughter and tears are welcome. I love supporting folk on their journey to authenticity, contentment, and confidence, and doing so with a socially conscious approach. At Seaglass Psychology, I can help heal your relationship with yourself and others, and the way these have been shaped by past experiences, anxiety, and low self-worth. I will try to build a great relationship with you, to help us create new ways to cope, find your agency, and feel empowered. 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 affirming for all people. I welcome clients of any gender, gender expression, sexual orientation, body size, and non-binary folks. Polyamorous clients welcome. 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.

I am a doctoral-level psychologist and have worked with a range of clients across medical, psychiatric, oncological, and counselling settings. I work with depression, anxiety, grief, change, and loss, cancer, existential issues (e.g. purpose, identity, self-actualization), trauma, life transitions, psychospiritual development, and psychedelic integration. My approach is integrative, though I focus on existential, Jungian, acceptance-based, and dialogical therapy (e.g., IFS), and have specialized training in psychedelic-assisted therapy. I am a former professor of psychology, have taught various university courses, and have published on psychedelics and spirituality. I believe therapy is about creating a safe context for exploring our inner worlds, processing emotional wounds, grieving life's losses, revising our beliefs, and making changes to live in accordance with our values. When we can acknowledge and accept the truth of our lives, including hurts, losses, and limits, we are freed to grow into our fullest selves. The research literature on psychotherapy is very clear: the most important predictor of positive outcomes is the quality of the relationship between the therapist and client. I encourage you to reach out for a phone call to see if I am likely to be a "good-fit” and whether what I can offer in therapy may be of benefit to you.

Sometimes, life may have you feeling at a loss for words and you may need other ways to express yourself. I am a Registered Art Therapist who specializes in working with individuals who may be struggling with anxiety, self-esteem, identity, emotional regulation, loss, parenting, life transitions, depression, challenging behaviours, trauma, school, family dynamics, and lack of connection. I have extensive experience working with children and youth using both art therapy and play therapy techniques. For professionals, I provide individual or group Clinical Supervision for art therapists and counsellors working in Alberta. Art Therapy can support clients with emotional regulation, insight, shifting behaviour, strengthening identity, self-perception, skill acquisition, confidence and creative expression. It gives a voice to young children, closed-off teenagers and whole family systems. Discovering your own path to healing can be an empowering experience, and I look forward to walking by your side.

We all experience moments of difficulty, whether from loss, change, or feelings of overwhelm. Sometimes our thoughts can be scattered and we do not know where to begin in order to heal. I work with individuals and couples and use my clinical experience with your life expertise to rediscover your inner strengths and skills that will help you reach your goals and find healing. Through my work with both adults and children, I’ve come to appreciate how patterns can be passed down through generations but that resiliency, hope, and desire for change can create a new path. With a focus on your unique needs let's compassionately explore how to heal and maintain positive relationships with yourself and with others. I strive to provide a non-judgmental and supportive environment where we work collaboratively. My hope is that at the end of each session, you have a new sense of hope and confidence in reaching your goals.

Welcome! I am passionate about helping others become their authentic selves and live with a sense of purpose and joy. It is truly rewarding to see hope in people as they recognize their own resilience and realize change is possible regardless of past experiences and events. Coming from a place of empathy and compassion I can be a support as we walk your healing journey together.

I became a therapist because I was always the person who people naturally approached when they craved a supportive, listening ear. Now, I continue to enjoy creating a comfortable atmosphere where we can now dig in and explore whatever is most important to you. Together we can work on big stuff, the small stuff, and everything in-between. I believe that healing starts by putting you in the driver’s seat, gaining an appreciation for your current experience, and empowering you to take control of your own story and create meaning. To facilitate this, I custom tailor my therapy approach to your unique needs and worldview. I will check in with you regularly so I can gage what is and isn’t working, so we stay focused and on track. Together, we will explore whatever you are interested in shifting, and I am confident that we can create positive changes ripple that will throughout your whole life. So far, I have worked primarily with kids and teens, although I also work with adults in private practice. I am a strong believer in group work and finding solace in others who have shared experiences. I have run groups focusing on girls’ empowerment, identity exploration, social skills, and supporting kids through their parents’ divorce. I have experience facilitating support groups for kids whose families have been impacted by domestic violence. I am passionate about listening to their stories and experiences, supporting kids in learning to navigate upcoming changes, and teaching skills to cope with complex emotions. I also enjoyed a position as a school counsellor, earlier in my career. In my free time, I seek adventure and get my own dose of nature therapy as a Girl Guide Leader. I am also the mother of a spirited young girl and enjoy all the moments I can with my family. I live a life full of dancing, baking, and jump on any opportunity to create joy and passion.

I am passionate and dedicated to help you overcome any issue that you may be facing in life. My goal is to acknowledge and appreciate the individuality of each circumstance, in order to create a solution focused goal, to help you prosper emotionally. We will work together as a team to create a plan to help you achieve what you are striving. You don't need to feel alone in what you're going through. I am trained in working with a variety of topics that include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship issues, crisis. etc. I also have a particular interest in working with those in blended families, as there are many layers of the family system that need to be considered to render success (coparents, step-parents issues, transitions, parenting agreements, etc). I also specialize working with International clients and those with bicultural backgrounds.

I have advanced training in Sandplay Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy (individuals, couples & families), Solution Focused Coaching (Erickson College), sensory processing, Lifestyle Design, Circle of Security Parenting and NeuroMeditation. I have worked with children and families (including foster and adoptive families) through Children's Services and Family Supports for Children with Disabilities.

Over the past 8 years, I worked with DBT teams in Toronto, Calgary and Edmonton providing both individual and group therapy.

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.

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 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.

My diversified training and background helps me bring a holistic approach to the therapeutic process. I have experience working with a variety of issues, such as: mood disturbances, trauma, grief and loss, life stage transitions, stress management, and relationship difficulties. As well as working with individuals, I have a special interest in working with couples, families, and groups.

I strive to provide a balance of challenge and support, assisting clients to gain insight into presenting issues and move towards their goals.

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.

I believe in engaging evidence-based treatment in a client-centered manner to best meet an individual’s needs. I have worked in the areas of trauma, assessment and treatment of substance use disorders, chronic pain and chronic degenerative health conditions as well as the complex impact that depression and anxiety have for individuals and their overall functioning.

I work with adult clients of all genders on issues such as grief, depression, trauma and relationships. I draw on mindfulness and body-based interventions when those are a good fit for my clients, and work from a feminist lens.

Hello! I see you’re scrolling through therapists and you’ve paused long enough to read my little blurb. I’m so glad you’re here. If you are struggling with your sexuality or your relationships we can work through it together. Do you have concerns about your sexual desire: Too much? Too little? Too different? Are you grappling with your sexuality, coming out, or dealing with shame and stigma? Maybe things were great but something’s changed (what hasn’t these days?) and you need some help there. Your relationship could also be entering a new stage and you need some help navigating all those new challenges. My work as a therapist is trauma-informed and client-centered, primarily drawing from Feminist and Systems models of therapy. I believe the core of the human experience is interactive and co-created. Our lives are shaped by the systems we grow in, our relationships with others, and even our relationship with ourselves! I’ve done my best to make your next steps easy! You can email me with questions you have, or set up a free 15-minute phone consultation. For secure messaging and booking sessions I use the platform OwlPractice, which you can find on my Website. I’m committed to inclusive and accessible therapy so I offer a sliding scale from $80-$150 each session.

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.

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.

As a therapist, I can help you navigate the difficult challenges that you face in life. To me, each client is an individual with strengths that can be built upon. I often work with people who feel powerless around stuck patterns that lead to relationship conflict, depression, or anxiety. Some of my clients are seeking to break free from destructive habits. Most of my clients are looking for ways to take care of themselves better as they heal and grow through past or current experiences. My approach can help you recover from trauma, find relief from stress, and foster healthy and meaningful relationships with others. The work that I do is collaborative and trauma-informed. Together we can set goals and develop a plan to meet your needs. My strength as a therapist comes from my authenticity and warmth, while also bringing an element of humour into sessions. I use an integrative approach, incorporating mostly EMDR, parts work, somatic (body-focused) therapies, and CBT. If you are in need of support, please feel free to reach out. We were never meant to navigate hard seasons on our own. I know that finding a therapist can be overwhelming. I offer a free initial 20-minute phone consultation to give you the chance to ask questions, hear my voice, and get a sense of who I am before scheduling a session together.

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.

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.

Hello, my name is Krista. I am the founder of this practice. I am a registered clinical psychologist in the province of Alberta and did my graduate training right here at the University of Alberta. I have a Masters and PhD degree in educational psychology with a focus in special education. I'm honoured to be able to do this important work in the city I call home.

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.

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.
