Joel Mader

As part of my practice I use interventions and techniques that are practical and have been shown to be effective in addressing specific mental health issues. This includes Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Structured Relapse Prevention and Motivational Interviewing. My approach emphasizes collaboration, empathy, warmth and understanding, recognizing that these are important factors in developing an effective therapeutic relationship.

Dr. Gloria Jacobucci

My approach typically includes managing current symptoms and addressing underlying causes. Interpersonal patterns are often at the heart of depression, so our work together may include a focus on improving relationships with family, friends, co-workers, and others.

Amber Jerome

Hello and welcome,

My name is Amber (she/her). I recognize that sometimes, the hardest decision about seeking support is the decision to do so, which is why I emphasize the importance of starting where each person is at. I have over 12 years experience working with people from all walks of life at various points on their journey from children, youth, adults, and families. My approach shifts to the needs of each unique person I meet; nonetheless, it aligns most closely with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and somatic or body-based awareness. I look forward to connecting to explore if I am the right fit for your journey

Kristin Matthews

As a Registered Psychologist, I am passionate about helping people experience meaningful, lasting change. I specialize in addressing many concerns, including: depression, anxiety, life transitions, relationship issues, stress and burnout, trauma/PTSD, work/school-related issues, and more. I have extensive experience counselling Alberta professionals including healthcare professionals such as physicians and nurses, educators, energy sector professionals, and more. I believe that meaningful change is best fostered when the therapy process is collaborative and client-centered. I practice from evidence-based approaches including solution-focused therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and emotion-focused therapy.

Sylvia Lagosky

Hi, I’m Sylvia and I’m so glad you’re here! I believe at some point or another, we’ve all experienced something that has changed our life. That’s why it’s important within my practice to develop a space where you feel safe and supported. I want to create a strong therapeutic alliance, one where you have a voice and a place to be your true, authentic self. Everyone has the capacity to be resilient and I want our sessions to foster this inner strength. Our time together is ultimately your time. Since effective therapy doesn’t take a one-size-fits-all approach, I offer cognitive-behavioural therapy, DBT, EMDR, ART, narrative therapy, sand tray therapy and much more according to your needs.
