Joel’s approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), as he believes that learning to process and journey through difficult thoughts, feelings, and emotions, enables us to move towards integration and acceptance of ourselves and our journeys.

Andrea’s approach is eclectic in nature utilizing person centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. Andrea’s clinical qualities include holding a compassionate, safe place to hold your story, unconditional positive regard, empathy and presence.

I take an integrative approach to psychotherapy. My first priority is in building a safe and trusting relationship with you, and getting to know you; from there, I incorporate strategies from different theories to best adapt therapy to you.

Chantal has been working with the Fort McMurray Catholic School Board for 3 years. In this role her primary focus is family counselling, with a mix of school counselling at the elementary level. Her core foundation starts with attachment based and trauma-informed psychotherapy. She believes that the therapeutic relationship is one of the most powerful elements of counselling. As human beings we are all born with an innate need to connect and this is a key foundation of her work.

I am passionate about being able to provide a safe, inclusive and non-judgemental space for clients to have their stories heard and therapeutic journey supported in order to become their authentic selves. The opportunity to walk alongside client’s journeys is a true privilege and I view life and counselling with the perspective that many events, thoughts, feelings and behaviours contribute to who we are and how we interact within the world. By providing clients with unconditional positive regard, empathy, trust and warmth, we can form a therapeutic alliance and collaboratively work together to explore challenges that may arise, rediscover strengths, release potential and work towards positive change and growth.

I love working with clients to find solutions which allow them to thrive, and I do so through a trauma-informed approach, which emphasizes non-judgmental support and strengths-based approaches. I believe that we all have a unique story, and that meeting our inherent need to be heard and accepted is an important step in finding peace.

The nature of human existence is that no matter how hard one endeavours to avoid difficulties, everyone will experience challenging times, thoughts, feelings, emotions and pain. Through this reality, I feel that people can embrace their inner wisdom and cultivate the life they hope to live despite the broad range of human emotions we must all navigate. By identifying one’s inner strengths to engage in life meaningfully, people can experience a more intentional and richer existence, fulfilling their innate desire to live their best life even when they face hardships.

I have a specific interest in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), but believe in an integrative approach, as each client is unique. I believe that in spite of difficult thoughts, feelings, and emotions, people deserve to and can live a full and meaningful life.

I am passionate about supporting others towards a path of healing, recovery, and completeness. I value the therapeutic presence coming from a place of compassion so individuals can share their stories. In my previous careers, I have worked with children and families towards a path of reunification and preservation.

I acknowledge both the courage and fear it takes to share ourselves with another person, and I am always honoured to walk alongside my brave clients in this journey. By creating a safe environment and using compassion, curiosity, and a little bit of trust in the process, we can work together to explore and integrate new ways of looking at and engaging with the world as we journey through your highs and lows together. We all hold unique experiences that deserve to be honoured and all deserve a life that is fulfilling and meaningful.

I am passionate about helping people simplify their nutrition goals and create lasting change. Restoring our relationship with food is one of the most powerful things we can do in regards to our diet.  I love working with my clients to view food as a positive part of our life, not as something to be feared or controlled.  Being a shift working family, I am especially passionate about helping shift workers and their families increase their energy and improve their health through practical-evidence based strategies.

Having practiced Massage therapy since 2016, I’ve learned that everyone can use some relief. In order to get this breathing room, I believe a healthy body houses a healthy mind. Working with a variety of cases, I’ve fallen in love with helping people get back to themselves. Communication is always paramount as we work together to solve your concerns. I’ve worked in clinics and chiropractic offices over the years, expanding my skills and knowledge of the human body.

My passion for helping others started with working in homeless shelters. This experience instilled a passion to hear people’s stories and recognize each person as unique and valuable. Geordy like a combination of Solution Focused Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment therapy, and the use of EMDR to help people to overcome self limiting beliefs and experience wholeness. Overall, he believes that genuineness and being real are super important to therapy, and he is looking forward to giving people the ability to have a safe place to heal and grow.
