“Hi! I’m Emad, and I am dedicated to serving individuals from diverse backgrounds and providing a safe and judgement-free space that allows clients to freely speak their truth. In our sessions, I will equip you with practical tools for coping with stress, improving communication, and fostering healthier relationships. If you are ready to take the next step towards healing, I would be honoured to be part of your journey and look forward to working with you.”
“Hi, I’m Katya. Grounded in trauma-informed practice, I guide couples and individuals in exploring past experiences, processing emotions and navigating life transitions. I help uncover patterns that are keeping you stuck and unfulfilled, fostering the development of effective self-regulation and communication skills. I specialize in empowering individuals to challenge negative self-narratives, find direction, and discover their unique identity. I support couples in building the nurturing, passionate and connecting relationships they envision.”
In the spirit of reconciliation and as an Indigenous Ally, I wish to acknowledge that I live, work, and play on the traditional territories of the Alberta Treaty 8 people, which includes Woodland Cree, Beaver, Slavey, and Chipewyan, as well as the territories of Metis Nations 5 and 6.
“Welcome! I am a Registered Social Worker and have a master’s degree specializing in Clinical Social Work. I aim to make a welcoming space where we can collaborate to work towards your goals. Together, we will enhance your true strengths so you can be your authentic self and thrive! My lived experiences with neurodivergence and mental injury and 20 years of working with marginalized populations help me understand that each persons’ experiences are unique. One of my goals is to destigmatize access to mental health support, as no one is immune from mental injury.”
“Hi, I’m Rita. I work from a client-centered, strength-based and culturally sensitive approach with a focus on individual development. I recognize that people reaching out for mental health support are already going through a lot, so I meet you where you are at and hold space for you as we figure out how to get you to your desired destination. My practice centres on supporting healthy relationships we have with ourselves, which is foundational in influencing relationships with people around us. In partnering with me in your journey towards healing, I embrace and support the cultural dimensions of everyone to foster strength, empowerment and confidence.”
“I provide a non-judgmental, collaborative, and non-pathologizing therapeutic atmosphere to work with you ensuring you are seen, heard, understood, and respected. I operate from a lens of intersectionality, anti-oppressive practice, and a curious mindset while honouring my client’s stories, strengths, resilience, and autonomy. I do not think therapy should be rigid, so I endeavour to create a relaxed and welcoming space filled with warmth where we can work together on your journey towards optimal health and wellness.”
“At some point in life, you might face unexpected roadblocks or have experiences that make you feel disempowered, afraid, and hopeless. I know how important it is to acknowledge and address what we may have experienced in order to eventually transform those feelings into feelings of empowerment, strength, and hope for the future.”
