Therapists in Edmonton

Therapists in Edmonton working through The Therapy Space are Ontario-registered professionals who meet the standards of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). Each therapist has completed a master’s-level education in counselling or psychotherapy, alongside supervised clinical training that ensures ethical, skilled, and evidence-based care.

They are licensed to provide therapy to clients throughout Alberta via secure online platforms and bring a range of specializations to their work. Therapists are trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, mindfulness, and somatic therapy.

This range of training allows therapists to create personalized, integrative treatment plans. For example, CBT may help a client identify unhelpful thinking patterns, while IFS explores emotional parts of the self with compassion. ACT helps clients align their choices with their values, and EMDR facilitates trauma processing and recovery.

At The Therapy Space, Edmonton clients can expect therapy that feels both professional and relational — rooted in skill, empathy, and a genuine commitment to growth.

Anxiety and stress are common experiences in a city as busy and evolving as Edmonton. From demanding work environments to family pressures and uncertainty about the future, many people find themselves struggling to slow down or feel grounded. Therapy offers strategies and perspective to manage these challenges more effectively.

CBT helps clients identify thought patterns that fuel anxiety and teaches ways to replace them with more balanced, constructive perspectives. DBT adds mindfulness and emotion regulation techniques that strengthen resilience under pressure. Somatic and grounding practices help calm the body’s stress response, creating a foundation of physical and emotional stability.

Therapists may also introduce relaxation exercises, journaling prompts, or mindfulness moments that fit into daily life. For example, a client who feels anxious during commutes or meetings might learn breathing techniques to reset focus and calm tension.

Over time, therapy helps clients reduce anxiety’s intensity and improve their ability to navigate stress. Edmonton residents often describe therapy as a space to breathe again — to regain clarity, energy, and emotional steadiness.

Therapists in Edmonton help clients address depression by providing structure, understanding, and tools for gradual recovery. Depression often brings fatigue, hopelessness, or disconnection, and therapy offers a steady, supportive environment to begin rebuilding.

CBT helps identify and challenge negative thinking patterns that contribute to low mood. Behavioural activation encourages clients to re-engage with meaningful activities, helping to restore a sense of routine and purpose. ACT supports acceptance of difficult emotions while guiding clients toward action based on personal values.

Therapists may also integrate mindfulness and somatic work to reconnect clients with their bodies and reduce emotional heaviness. Sessions explore both external stressors and inner beliefs that maintain depressive patterns, such as self-criticism or perfectionism.

For example, a client feeling drained by work burnout may use therapy to explore boundaries, self-worth, and new ways to find balance. Gradually, therapy supports the return of energy, motivation, and hope, helping Edmonton clients rebuild connection and meaning in their daily lives.

Yes. Trauma therapy is available for Edmonton residents through secure online sessions with trauma-informed therapists who emphasize safety, stability, and empowerment.

Therapists use EMDR to help clients reprocess painful memories and lessen the emotional distress attached to them. Somatic therapy complements this by addressing how trauma is stored in the body, helping clients regulate their nervous systems and release tension.

Early sessions focus on stabilization and trust before working through trauma directly. Clients learn practical tools such as grounding, breathwork, and self-soothing strategies to feel safe and present.

Therapists also provide education on how trauma impacts brain function, emotion, and relationships. Understanding these patterns often helps clients move away from self-blame toward compassion and healing.

A client in Edmonton who experiences flashbacks or anxiety after past trauma might use therapy to learn how to anchor themselves in the present moment, recognizing that healing is possible. Over time, trauma therapy supports a greater sense of control, confidence, and peace.

Yes. Couples and family therapy are available to clients in Edmonton through online sessions that create flexibility and comfort for all participants.

Couples therapy focuses on improving communication, rebuilding trust, and deepening emotional connection. Therapists often use Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners understand emotional needs beneath conflict and express them safely. The Gottman Method provides practical tools for managing disagreements and strengthening partnership over time.

Family therapy helps improve understanding between family members and resolve ongoing patterns of conflict. Therapists use systemic approaches and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to explore family roles and shared dynamics that influence relationships.

For families balancing work, parenting, and intergenerational expectations, therapy provides a structured space to reconnect. Sessions encourage empathy, clarity, and cooperation, helping families navigate challenges with greater patience and mutual respect.

Mindfulness and somatic awareness are valuable components of therapy for many clients in Edmonton. These practices help regulate stress, build presence, and strengthen the connection between body and mind.

Mindfulness focuses on observing thoughts and emotions without judgment. Therapists might guide brief grounding exercises or breathing techniques to help clients calm their nervous systems and stay centered.

Somatic therapy invites clients to notice physical sensations — muscle tightness, restlessness, or fatigue — and learn how to release these through breath, grounding, or gentle movement.

Therapists may encourage simple practices between sessions, such as mindful breathing during walks by the river valley or grounding before meetings. Over time, clients develop the ability to regulate emotions naturally and with awareness.

By integrating these practices with cognitive and relational work, therapy supports holistic healing and long-term balance.

Therapists at The Therapy Space collaborate with each client to determine which therapeutic approaches best fit their needs and preferences. Each modality offers distinct benefits depending on your goals.

CBT provides structured, evidence-based strategies for addressing negative thinking and behavior patterns. DBT supports emotional regulation and communication skills. ACT helps clients live more intentionally through values-based decision-making. EMDR focuses on trauma reprocessing, while IFS facilitates inner harmony and self-compassion.

Therapists often combine approaches to suit your situation. For example, someone working through anxiety may begin with CBT tools before integrating mindfulness or somatic techniques. Therapy evolves as clients gain awareness and confidence.

This personalized process ensures that therapy feels collaborative, meaningful, and effective for every Edmonton client.

Online therapy is conducted through Jane App, a secure Canadian telehealth platform that complies with PIPEDA and PHIPA privacy standards. All communication and records are encrypted end-to-end to ensure confidentiality.

Therapists conduct sessions from private, professional environments and help clients create comfortable and secure spaces at home. Notes and records are stored safely, with access limited to authorized professionals.

Online therapy offers the same level of confidentiality as in-person sessions but with greater flexibility. Whether you live downtown, in South Edmonton, or the surrounding area, you can access therapy conveniently and consistently.

This secure format makes therapy accessible without compromising safety, quality, or connection.

Booking therapy through The Therapy Space is simple and flexible. Clients can complete the Get Matched form to receive therapist recommendations based on their goals, concerns, and preferences. They can also browse therapist profiles, read about areas of focus, and schedule sessions directly online.

If the first therapist doesn’t feel like the right fit, clients can request a new match at any time. Finding the right therapeutic relationship is an important part of the process, and flexibility ensures that clients feel supported from the start.

The matching process considers therapy type (individual, couples, or family), therapeutic style, and areas of expertise. For example, someone focusing on trauma may be paired with an EMDR therapist, while a client wanting practical skills may match with a CBT-based practitioner.

This personalized system ensures Edmonton clients are supported by therapists who align with their goals and comfort level.

The number of sessions depends on each client’s goals, challenges, and pace of progress. Short-term therapy may include 6 to 12 sessions and address specific issues such as stress or communication. Long-term therapy allows for deeper exploration, trauma healing, or sustained self-development.

Therapists review progress regularly and adjust treatment plans as needed. Some clients continue therapy intermittently for maintenance, reflection, or ongoing growth.

Online therapy makes consistent attendance easier for Edmonton residents, even with busy schedules or travel. This steady rhythm supports long-lasting progress and greater emotional awareness.

The first session focuses on getting to know you — your background, goals, and what led you to seek therapy. Therapists explain confidentiality, structure, and what you can expect moving forward.

You’ll have the chance to share your main concerns and what feels most important right now. The therapist listens carefully, reflects on what they hear, and may offer gentle insights or strategies to begin supporting your needs.

This session is also about building comfort and trust. Many Edmonton clients leave their first appointment feeling lighter and more hopeful, knowing they’ve taken a significant step toward understanding and change.

Therapists in Edmonton work with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, stress, self-esteem issues, and relationship challenges. They also support clients navigating life transitions, identity development, and personal growth.

Sessions include reflection, psychoeducation, and practical tools to strengthen emotional regulation and communication. Clients learn coping strategies that extend beyond therapy, promoting long-term stability and self-awareness.

At The Therapy Space, therapy is collaborative and grounded in care. It’s an opportunity to slow down, reflect, and realign with your values in a city that’s always moving forward.
