How can we address thinking and behavior, without including the soul? "Guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life." How do we deal with conflicting desires, interests, and wants? Understanding our role in God's greater story of redemption being told in the world today brings renewed strength, hope and energy. If you want a compassionate, grace-based approach to who you are and who you were meant to be, I'll journey along with you as you live out the personalized chapters of the life God has for you, and your relationship with Him will deepen. I practice caring, companionable soul care that helps you see God's presence in your life, no matter where you are in your journey.

Christian and Faith-based counselors from our Downtown Edmonton office provide psychological support and counseling services to our clients.

Jennifer is a Christian, that completed her Masters degree in Counselling at Providence Theological Seminary. She understands why some Christians would prefer to work with a therapist that is in line with their own spiritual beliefs, as worldview does inform one's practice and the direction therapy takes. Because Jennifer completed her B.A. in Psychology at the University of Victoria, with Distinction, she has both a high level of psychological knowledge along with theological understanding. She was also mentored for 18 months post Masters by one of the world's leading Christian psychologists, Dr. David Benner.

I do acknowledge all faiths and believe everyone has their own faith. My faith is Christian and I do provide Christian specific counselling for those who are of the faith. I also provide counselling to many people of many different faiths. In Christian couples or individual counselling we include a faith based way of viewing the world, healing and growing with God.

Counseling is a opportunity to grow emotionally, psychologically and when requested, spiritually. I bring a Christian insight and perspective to counselling, that is both warm and non-judemental. This perspective transcends talk therapy as it allows us to explore your concerns, fears, worries and hopes with God and the scripture as guidance. The Lord says seek and you shall find. The same rings true for counselling and I'd be happy to help you through this process with directions, support and tools.

As a Christian, I offer a safe and compassionate space where your spirituality is respected and valued. Having undergone my own disappointments and adversities in life, I understand how difficult it can be to maintain one's faith when troubles arise. It can be difficult to see God's plans for us when problems seem insurmountable, relationships are strained, and the future seems dark. Losses may be especially hard as we struggle with doubts and despair. We may even feel anger and disappointment in God and in our faith community. I empathize with your crisis of the heart and want to help in a manner that feels comfortable and appropriate for you.

Are you looking for counselling that integrates your faith? Are you struggling with the meaning and purpose of life? Meaning of suffering? Forgiveness? Moral decision-making?

I have a personal faith in God and counsel in harmony with scriptural principles. My education includes counselling, nursing, biblical studies, theology and spirituality. While respecting my clients’ diverse backgrounds and expressions of faith, I use spiritual interventions that my clients are comfortable with.

I have been a Christian for about 30 years. The connection between emotional healing and Biblical principles is of a special interest to me. Often emotional healing offers a lot of care and empathy as described in a number of ways in the Bible. There is also healing that I believe is over and above what could happen in a non-Christian context. Being able to relate to and deal with struggles in Christianity and in the Church are also areas of focus.

I graduated from Trinity Western University, in Abbotsford, BC, with a Masters Degree in Counselling Psychology in 2005. In this environment we were given opportunity to integrate our therapy philosophy and our faith. Faith in God has been recognized as a strength in terms of coping and managing stress. I can assist you to use this world view to work though the challenges of life and relationships.

For many Christians the use of psychotropic medication is still unacceptable. Taking insulin or tablets for blood pressure is accepted, but taking ‘drugs’ for mental illness is often frowned upon. If you have questions about whether or not you as a Christian should take antidepressants, anti-anxiety medication, mood stabilizers, etc., Dr Mervin (Paraklesis Counselling) can come alongside you from a faith-based perspective and help you understand what these medications do, and why and when you should use them. “Honour the doctor for his services, for the Lord created him ... The Lord has created medicines from the earth, and a sensible man will not disparage them.” - Ecclesiasticus 38: 1-4
