Find a Therapist in Oliver, Edmonton, Alberta.

Do you find that certain life circumstances are out of your control? Does this bring up strong negative emotions? Sometimes, we react like a child or a teenager, other times, like a mature adult. What is it within us that brings up these varied responses? Why is it that we at times feel stuck and helpless to bring about any changes? Together, in the process of psychotherapy, we can explore these questions and more, within a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner. Its aim is to help people understand the thoughts behind feeling anxious or depressed and addressing these thinking patterns. Psychotherapy will help you change behaviors and habits that are limiting you, to experiencing your fullest potential.

Psychotherapy focuses on your relationship with yourself. Our most common problems have to do with inner conflict and with being unconscious of what is happening within ourselves. Through psychotherapy you will become aware of how the inner self signals the presence of these problems. Being aware of what is happening within us gives us the basis for making effective choices, relating in genuine ways to others and making positive and powerful choices in our daily lives.
