Roger Thiessen
Licensed Professional Counsellor, CCC, MPS, M.Div
As a trauma-informed counselling therapist, I have special training in EMDR and Internal Family Systems, two evidence-based practices that work explicitly to bring healing to our traumatic wounds. These modalities have facilitated the healing of my own traumas, and I'm excited to witness how effective they are in bringing healing to those with whom I work.

Sabrina Ragan
Psychologist, CCC., CPT, R.Psych
When a child experiences trauma—whether it’s a single event or ongoing stress—it can overwhelm their ability to cope and leave lasting emotional imprints. I specialize in working with children who have experienced trauma or show signs of PTSD, using play therapy, art, and attachment-based approaches to gently support healing. In our sessions, children are given a safe space to express their experiences without pressure, regain a sense of safety, and slowly process what they’ve been through at a pace that honors their nervous system.
Children are also deeply impacted by their parent’s trauma, even if they can’t fully articulate it. That’s why I offer counseling and parent support to help caregivers navigate their own healing while staying emotionally available for their child. Whether trauma is part of your child’s story, your own, or both, therapy provides a bridge toward connection, understanding, and lasting resilience. Healing is possible—and it begins with feeling safe, seen, and supported.

Adrie-Anne Gamble
Counsellor/Therapist, MPCC, CCC, EMDR | ERP | IFS | Attachment
Trauma can change the way you think, feel, relate to others, and experience the world around you. Even when the danger has passed, your mind and body may continue responding as though it hasn’t. Together, we’ll understand how your experiences have shaped these patterns and use evidence based therapies to help your nervous system, thoughts, emotions, and beliefs begin to change.

Denelle O'Reilly
Psychologist
I support children, adolescents, and adults who have experienced trauma and symptoms of PTSD in a safe, compassionate, and structured way. I understand how past experiences can continue to impact thoughts, emotions, relationships, and the body. Using a warm and collaborative approach, I help clients process traumatic memories, reduce distressing symptoms, and build a greater sense of safety and control. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), an evidence-based therapy that helps the brain reprocess difficult experiences so they feel less overwhelming over time. Treatment is tailored to each individual, with a focus on stabilization, coping skills, and healing at a pace that feels manageable.

Clearway Psychology and Wellness Inc.
Psychologist, BA, MACP
Trauma has a way of staying with you long after the event itself has passed, showing up in your body, your relationships, and the ways you move through daily life. I work with individuals carrying the weight of past experiences, including first responders who face trauma and day-to-day on the job stress, as a regular part of the work they do and often don't have a space to process what they've seen and carried. Whether your trauma is recent or something you've lived with for years, therapy can help you begin to make sense of it, reduce its grip, and reclaim a sense of safety and agency in your own life.

PTSD/Trauma
Rebecca Bonham
Licensed Professional Counsellor, Canadian Certified Counsellor, MPS, MTS
As you no doubt already know intimately, trauma affects every aspect of our being and functioning. Our brains shut down, our bodies react, our emotions take on a life of their own - or disappear altogether. Our work will start with grounding you and your body in safety, and building awareness and appreciation for the ways our bodies hold trauma for us. Once we have enough safety in our bodies, we can begin offering curiosity to the parts of us that have learned to protect us with varying coping and survival skills. We'll acknowledge and honour the ways our parts knew how to take care of us, even as we invite them into a new relationship within us, where they can be unburdened and we can reconnect with the healing power of our own inner resources: calm, curiosity, compassion, connectedness, creativity, courage, clarify, and confidence. I'll support you in connecting with your wounded parts that long to be healed as only you can do. You will learn to connect with your pain and vulnerability in new ways that brings lasting healing and integration. This is tender work, and we'll take it as slowly as your system needs it to go. Your safety and choice are of utmost importance in this work.

Edmonton's northern location and long, dark winters contribute significantly to seasonal depression and mood challenges, making therapists with expertise in SAD and mood disorders particularly sought after. The city's economy is closely tied to the energy sector, and residents face the psychological ripple effects of boom-bust economic cycles including job instability and financial anxiety. Edmonton has a large Indigenous population, and therapists offering trauma-informed, culturally grounded care for First Nations, Métis, and Inuit clients are especially valued here. Alberta Health Services provides public mental health access, with a growing private practice community serving the city's expanding southern and west-end neighbourhoods.
