Positive Psychology Therapists in Edmonton, AB

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.

Welcome. Are you an adult who has experienced difficulties and are looking to make change in your life? You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, difficult relationships, complex PTSD, personality (attachment) disorder, ADHD, grief/loss. Together we will address these concerns so you can live a better and more balanced life. I offer an integrative approach drawing from a variety of modalities: CBT, DBT, EMDR, EFT, Jungian-oriented psychology, mindfulness, and positive psychology. My approach to therapy is collaborative and strengths-based.

I am a registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists and a member of the Psychologists Association of Alberta. I have worked in private practice, public healthcare and educational settings in multiple countries. I have more than fifteen years of clinical experience working with diverse adults and youth.

If you hope to get to the root of an issue and begin making steps toward improving your or your child's situation, I can help. I believe in the potential of each and every person who walks through my door. As Director of Little Oaks Psychology, I oversee a team of talented therapists. Through assessment work, I apply a strengths-based and positive psychology approach to my process. I specialise in ADHD, Anxiety, Autism, and complex behavioural problems (e.g., self-harm, childhood OCD, and oppositionality). I strive to empower my clients with self-knowledge and insight. I work mindfully to empower clients in growth and resilience.

Supporting others begins with the presence of a safe space of openness and acceptance that facilitates a client’s innate yearning for healing, growth, and self actualization. My own journey has led me to the joy, mystery, and wonder of self discovery, the healing experience of healthy relationships, and finding meaning and purpose in life. The enjoyment in my work as a therapist comes from guiding clients on their journey to discover what brings them joy and to help them reconnect to their inner resources – their strengths, wholeness, peace, deeper nature, and internal guidance and wisdom.

I am a compassionate and empathic Psychologist who truly believes that all people have the strengths and abilities to bring about change in their own lives and are an expert in their own lived experience. I specialize in working with children and adults who experience concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, ADHD, behavioural issues, emotional regulation concerns, self-esteem, body positivity, and trauma.

Welcome to FORWARD! Our TEAM of psychologists is currently accepting new clients. FORWARD offers Online, Office-Based and Outdoor RUN & WALK therapy, for adolescents and adults. Our approach focuses on helping clients move toward their personal goals and the development of their best selves. We treat clients as the unique individuals that they are and champion individuality, creativity and diversity. If you feel like sitting and talking, we've got you. If you feel like moving and combining physical activity with talk therapy, we've got you. If you feel like doing a bit of both, let's create!

My career in mental health spans a decade and during that time I’ve recognized the importance of tailoring my work to meet each client’s unique needs. I provide a collaborative environment to facilitate change and I meet all individuals at their own stage of readiness. As a psychologist, I utilize a strength-based approach that is grounded in Positive Psychology and employ an attitude of hope in all of my interactions. I believe that by establishing a strong therapeutic relationship I can help my clients facilitate change, foster areas of strength, and create sustainable happiness.

Generally, individuals or couples seek counselling when they want some form of change in their lives, either within themselves or in their relationships with others. As a doctoral-level psychologist with over 12 years of counselling experience, I enjoy working with clients at any stage of their change process. My therapeutic style is warm and accepting with my practice being evidence-based, utilizing interventions that that have been well-researched with documented effectiveness. I strive to develop a genuine relationship with clients, recognizing the importance of a supportive therapeutic environment.

My goal is to help every client thrive emotionally, psychologically, and intellectually. I am equally as interested to hear a client’s story of trauma, loss, regret, loneliness, and difficult family dynamics, as I am to listen about times filled with purpose, hope, and happiness. I pay close attention to what is said, in addition to what is left unsaid, to uncover patterns of core beliefs.

Utilizing DBT, CBT, and ACT, we'll shed light on the connection between your mind, physiology, emotion, and behaviour. Together we can shift your relationship to your emotions and thinking patterns, and implement evidence based behavioural skills to ground yourself when life throws difficult things your way. Combining my personal and professional experience, I hope to create an empathetic and relatable space where you feel comfortable to process what you're experiencing.

Hi, there!! My name is Dr. Margret Simon. I work mainly with adults dealing with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, coping, grief, work-related stress & trauma. I enjoy collaborating & working with individuals who are motivated in seeking solutions to their concerns and in achieving insight into their pattern of thinking & behaviors that tend to impact their level of functioning. I believe all individuals have the strength, resiliency, and most of all the capability to take the steps in making positive changes in their lives & in improving their level of functioning.

Having authentic connections can impact our ability to fully engage ourselves in the work needed to create change. I have found that sometimes the most profound, transformative healing takes place within the simplicity & safety of a supportive client-therapist relationship. Authenticity, trust & respect are the guiding principles of my trauma-informed, spiritually sensitive and culturally safe practice. Rooted in positive psychology and mindfulness approaches, my counselling sessions integrate several evidence-based therapies including EMDR for trauma, DBT and CBT for anxiety, narrative & rational emotive informed therapies.

Do you want to feel confident and on purpose? Are you ready to experience deeper more fulfilling relationships? Do you want to experience more ease? When we are children, we learn how to be in connection and our beliefs about what's possible on our relationship with our caregivers and our friends. Sensitive people & people with big hearts often lean towards putting their own needs on the back burner, this can lead to burnout, anxiety, depression & general unhappiness. Work with me through a holistic model to experience wholeness, connection & joy in your life and relationships. Please reach out for a free 1/2 hour consult.

It is my belief that people have the strengths and abilities to navigate through life's challenges. The question is, "How do you use what you already have to meet life's challenges?" I work with individuals, groups, families, teams, and organizations collaboratively towards shared goals and outcomes that are rooted in evidence-based practices.
