Choosing who to see when starting your therapy journey can be one of the most challenging steps. I hope to make this a little bit easier by sharing a few things about myself. My approach to counselling is one that pulls from many theories and modalities to tailor the therapy experience to each client’s needs. I aim to provide a welcoming, comfortable, and judgment free space when working together. As someone who is passionate about mental health equity I offer a sliding scale option for those with financial need.

Hi there! I'm Katelyn, a Registered Provisional Psychologist in Alberta with a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology from City University of Seattle. My capstone research focused on understanding how experiences of grief are impacted by ambiguous loss when a loved one goes missing. This work sparked my passion in supporting individuals who are experiencing grief and loss and has provided me with a unique understanding of how to support those who feel that their grief has been misunderstood, minimized, or dismissed. 

​

My approach to sessions is based on collaboration, connection, and authenticity. I believe that each of us has the capacity for healing and that this journey looks different for everyone. My goal within each session is to create a space that feels safe enough for you to show up as your true self, feeling seen, heard and welcomed. I truly believe that you are the expert in your own life and that my role is to walk beside you as you learn to nurture your inherent strengths, healing, learning, and growth. To support this, I draw on several different approaches based on the unique needs of you as a client, primarily Internal Family Systems (IFS), Polyvagal Theory, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Additionally, I have completed basic training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for the treatment of trauma.

​

My work focuses on supporting clients aged 16 and older as they navigate grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, perfectionism, emotional regulation, and issues related to 2SLGBTQ+ and gender identity. I am also extremely passionate about supporting individuals and partners who have experienced pregnancy loss, birth trauma, fertility struggles, health complications such as endometriosis, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders. To support this area of my practice, I have pursued additional training in perinatal mental health through Canadian Perinatal Mental Health Trainings (CPMHT).

I approach therapy with a client-centered perspective, emphasizing understanding and empathy and tailor interventions to meet each client's unique needs.

​

As a therapist, the modalities I align with include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Ego States/Parts Work, and Mindfulness-Based Therapies. Additionally, I integrate expressive writing techniques to help clients reframe narratives.

I have a keen interest in working with individuals impacted by addictions (substance and behavioral), anxiety, interpersonal issues, stress management, chronic pain, traumatic experiences, and creative struggles​

I believe counselling is an opportunity to explore and navigate challenges collaboratively with my clients. I hope to create a safe, compassionate and non-judgemental environment where issues can be explored and overcome.

Hi there! I’m a mental health therapist with 15 years of experience as a registered social worker, primarily working with adults facing concurrent mental health and addiction challenges. I am trained in EMDR and approach therapy from a person-centered, trauma-informed perspective. I believe that healing occurs when we create space to focus on ourselves, and I am passionate about the importance of building community. I strive to foster this sense of connection both within the therapeutic space and each individual’s support system.

​

As a therapist, I value the innate knowledge and abilities individual’s bring to the counselling relationship, and it is my role as a therapist to shine awareness on these abilities in order to navigate life’s challenges. I focus on providing an anti-oppressive and empathetic environment for the folks I get to support, and look forward to meeting you soon.

​

To struggle is to be human, and despite the discomfort and pains involved, it is through struggle that I believe we’re able to discover our greatest strengths, expand our resilience, and experience fulfillment while living in connection with our core values.

​

Before completing my Masters of Counselling, I spent over 13 years working in various sales roles in the technology industry. I came to find that our mental wellness is often directly tied to our physical and emotional health and our relational world, and that our wellbeing is not always an easy thing to understand let alone talk about. It’s understandable that we might lean into a view that sees only symptoms or outcomes. However, when we connect with our inherent strengths, resources, and resilience, we can become empowered agents in our healing journey. Exploring the impact of our experiences, lifestyle, relationships, culture, and other factors through collaboration and acceptance in a safe space can be a meaningful way to reclaim our story and define our own terms for healing and wellbeing. I welcome the opportunity to understand what this may look like for you.

​

My therapist stance is warm, flexible, and curious, and I believe my most important role in this work is in supporting my clients to feel seen and accepted as we explore what’s happening for them. My therapeutic approach is grounded in person-centered, attachment, and systems-based philosophies. My work with clients is informed by mindfulness- and somatic-based approaches, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy. I am trained in therapy modalities Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR) and Gottman Couples Therapy (Level 1 & 2).

“The only place that you can love or heal or awaken is here and now, the eternal present.”

-Jack Kornfield

As a therapist, my approach is rooted in depth therapy and enriched by the insights of Carl Jung and Wolfgang Giegerich amongst others. I aim to help individuals navigate through their process to unearth and address the root causes of recurring issues and patterns whether that be trauma, depression, anxiety, or other issues that are outside of awareness.

​

I have over 10 years of experience in mental health and my training includes but is not limited to Cognitive behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Psychodynamic (Jungian) therapy, and sensorimotor therapy. I also have experience in couples therapy utilizing the Gottman Method (Levels 1 and 2) which is known for its effectiveness in enhancing relational dynamics and bringing couples closer together in harmony.

​

Embarking on a journey to self-understanding can be challenging, but deeply meaningful.

Hi, I'm Tianna – a Métis Registered Provisional Psychologist

​

With over 12 years of experience, I specialize in helping individuals and couples overcome struggles like generational trauma, ADHD, substance use, 2SLGBTQI+ concerns, domestic violence, and more.

​

My approach is person-centred and strength-based, meaning I tailor each session to your unique journey and goals.

​

I work with individuals (ages 12+) and couples, and I offer a free 15-minute consultation so you can see if we're the right fit. Let's talk about how I can help you heal, thrive, and unlock the life you deserve.

​

Book your consultation today and take the first step towards change!

My approach to therapy is rooted in the belief that healing occurs within a safe and trusting relationship, whether with oneself, one’s environment, or another person. I also believe that every client is an expert in their own experience. I, therefore, approach therapy from a strength-based perspective, aiming to build relationships with clients, understand their needs, help them set goals that align with their unique needs and personal strengths, and explore available solutions that lead us toward these therapeutic goals. As a Metis therapist, I am particularly sensitive to the needs of Indigenous people, and I practice from a culturally sensitive perspective that strives to respect the unique experiences of all people.

​

Reaching out for help in times of need can often be overwhelming. Therefore, it is important to acknowledge that seeking therapeutic support takes substantial bravery and courage. With this in mind, I strive to prioritize a safe, empathetic, and respectful space in which comfort, validation, and understanding are prioritized. Together, we can explore issues relating to stress, anxiety, depression, relationships, grief/loss, identity, shame, emotional regulation, traumatic experiences, and any other issue that would benefit from a friendly and insightful conversation.

Hello and welcome! My name is Melanie and I am passionate about cultivating therapeutic spaces that allow you to show up exactly as you are, and consider it the ultimate privilege to sit with people on their journey of self-discovery.

 

My areas of interest include grief and loss, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, exploration of gender/sexual identity, the process of differentiation, faith transitions, as well as the stress and overwhelm of motherhood and the journey of identity (re)discovery that comes along with it.

​

On your journey, I will walk alongside you as you navigate your emotions, deepen your self-awareness, explore your values, and gain perspective that will help you strengthen your connection to yourself. I offer a warm, empowering, collaborative, and non-judgmental space where you can show up as you are - meeting you with curiosity, humour, and authenticity.

​

I care deeply about providing a space that is anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, LGBTQIA2S+ affirming, and culturally sensitive. I am EMDR trained and use a collaborative approach tailored to each client.

Helping people and making an impact in the world through spreading kind connection and engaging with empathy is my purpose. I have felt the call to sit with others as they navigate the complex and difficult seasons of their lives since I was a teen, and I am honoured to have the opportunity to walk with others on these journeys to heal and create change in their lives.

I believe the client is the expert on their lives, goals, and how they would like to work together in therapy. I am client-centred, warm, accepting, and empathetic in my work with clients. I believe authentic connections rooted in kindness and unconditional understanding can create success for therapeutic healing. 

As a therapist, I have grounded in psychodynamic therapy, with additional modalities of ACT, EMDR, and narrative therapies. I am passionate about helping people understand unconscious inner conflicts and unhealed elements enacting influence on their life, exemplified in harmful patterns of behaviour, thought, feeling, and relation. I aim to raise awareness to these as well as societal elements which add pressure and create conflict in many areas of our lives. I would like to work with issues of grief, trauma, depression, and anxiety, as well as issues specific to women and the LGBTQ2IA+ community. 

Showing up and seeking out therapy is hard. Congratulate yourself on taking this first step—I look forward to meeting and working with you.

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, and relationship distress. I believe therapy should be specific to your needs. My approach is integrative, pulling from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Attachment-Based Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family
Systems (IFS), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Mindfulness-Based Therapies, and Somatic Experiencing (SE). Together, we will decide what feels like the best fit for you.

I am a settler who grew up on Treaty 6 territory, homeland of First Nations and Metis people. I am so grateful for this land. My background in anthropology informs my view that our social and cultural identities are fundamental to who
we are. Sometimes we need help to reflect on the ways that systems and society have impacted our sense of who we are and who we should be. I
provide culturally sensitive, anti-oppressive care.

Currently on Maternity Leave

I accomplished my dream of completing my master’s in counselling at McGill University; and I have had the opportunity to work with clients from all ages, different life stages, and from a multiplicity of countries in the world. I can provide therapy in English, French and Spanish which facilitates therapeutic processes, and I am fully comfortable working online as well as in person.

​

I am passionate about what I do, and it would be a pleasure for me to accompany you in your journey. I work from a holistic, integrative, client-centered, strengths based perspective, as well as evidence-based practices. This means that I will try my best to find practices that accommodate to your needs that are based on psychological research. Amongst the evidence based approaches that I use CBT, Emotion Focused Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Trauma informed practices, art therapy and somatic therapy amongst others.

​

I have worked with clients through anxiety, depression, self-harm, stress, self-esteem, loneliness, homesickness, separation, self-development, ADHD, divorce, parenting, bullying, grief, workplace challenges, trauma, OCD, anorexia, depersonalization symptoms amongst others. As a therapist I put clients at the center of my practices and the therapeutic relationship that I build with them. I hope we can work together, and that we can figure out the best possible pathways for you!

It's in our nature to need connection and belonging.

When we are in an intimate relationship, sometimes we fight, get discouraged and feel hopeless. We may feel lost and misunderstood. In our couple work, I will help you see the negative cycle that couples enter when they fight, identify the emotional needs and bring
understanding and new patterns of communication that will bring satisfaction in
your couple. During our individual journey of life, we experience challenges, negative events, losses and anxiety which can make us unhappy.

Through our collaborative work, I will accompany and support you in finding connection and purpose. I believe in helping couples and individuals find their inner strengths and resources in order to create the life they truly want. Together we will define a meaningful life, which will guide you in overcoming your challenges. You will learn to live in the present, a powerful step since changing the present allows us to heal the past and define the future.

Being collaborative, non-judgmental and creating a trusting relationship are the key elements to the success of our work together. Change is difficult, but I hope that you choose to give yourself the gift of choosing what you want for yourself and your relationship.

I offer services In English and French. I also speak Portuguese and Spanish.
