Our Students

My name is Brina and I am in the process of completing my master’s in counselling psychology from Yorkville University. I received my undergraduate degree in kinesiology from the University of Calgary. My own positive and productive experience with counselling has led me to enter this profession. 
My goal as a counsellor is to lead my sessions with a non-judgmental, empathetic perspective, where I want all of my clients to feel comfortable and supported. I believe in a collaborative process for therapy, where the counsellor and client are both actively involved. 
The first step in this process is what you are currently doing by acknowledging that you would like to start therapy. It does not matter what stage you are currently residing in; the importance is that you are here, wanting to initiate or continue this process. I look forward to starting this journey with you.

Hello, my name is Brad, and I am currently completing the practicum part of my Masters of Arts in Counseling Psychology from Yorkville University. I also have an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Alberta. For the last 13 years I've worked as a paramedic and a firefighter. While in this field I developed an interest in mental health, and the impacts that it may have on one's life. I'm particularly interested in the effects of trauma on one's wellbeing.

I take a collaborative approach to counselling, working with each individual in creating an empathetic and supportive environment where we work on the problem at hand together. I look forward to meeting you. 

My name is Madison, and I am completing my masters in counselling psychology from Athabasca University. I completed my undergraduate degree in Applied Psychology at Concordia University of Edmonton. I have experience in psychological assessments and enjoy working with a wide range of populations and concerns. I believe that counselling can be an amazing resource to bring out clients' strengths and abilities, while also being a safe space to navigate challenges that happen in life. My goal is to provide a comfortable and genuine environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and behaviors, and work towards positive change and growth. By focusing on strengths and fostering a collaborative therapeutic relationship, I hope to help empower you to navigate challenges, build resilience, and move towards the life you want. I draw on an integrative approach to counselling that helps me tailor therapy to your unique needs. Whether you are seeking support through a life transition, managing mental health concerns, or simply looking for a space to better understand yourself, I am committed to walking alongside you with care and compassion.​

I'm Sarah, a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology student at Yorkville University. I am currently completing my practicum.

I obtained my undergraduate degree in psychology from MacEwan University. I moved around a lot as a kid but settled nearby in St Albert. I enjoy working with anyone and learning their story; I have experience with and enjoy working with our Indigenous populations. Laughter is very healing, and I incorporate it into my day as much as possible. I am a huge advocate for therapy and have attended for years; it has made a significant positive difference in my life that I want others to experience firsthand. My therapeutic approach is authentic, empathic and client-centered, as you are the expert in your life.

My name is Naima. I am a student completing a Master of Spirituality and Psychotherapy at St .Stephen's College.
My studies have developed a deep appreciation of the complexities of human experience. That's why I find it important that the therapy room is a safe and inviting space for people to explore their thoughts and feelings. I am passionate about working with you and creating a collaborative atmosphere where you feel heard and valued. With a focus on listening, understanding, cultural humility, and spiritual integration, I am dedicated to creating an inclusive environment for individuals from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds.
I look forward to meeting you where you are and supporting you in your journey.

I am in the final stages of completing my Addiction and Community Support Worker program, and I am currently completing my practicum hours. My interest in this field comes from a genuine passion for supporting individuals as they navigate challenges and work toward building healthier, more fulfilling lives. I approach my work with empathy, patience, and a non-judgmental perspective. I believe in meeting people where they are at in their journey and helping them feel understood and supported. My goal is to create a safe and encouraging environment where clients feel comfortable sharing their experiences and are motivated to take positive steps forward. I value the resilience and strength that each person carries, even during difficult times. I aim to walk alongside clients as they discover their own abilities and work toward their goals. Whether it’s offering encouragement, practical support, or simply being a compassionate listener, I am committed to helping individuals feel empowered in their journey of change.
