Inspiration Psychology

At Inspiration Psychology, we believe in the power of hope and the strength of the human spirit. Our practice is dedicated to providing a safe, supportive, and encouraging environment for individuals, couples, and families who are seeking growth, healing, and change. We are located in Edmonton, Alberta, on the traditional and ancestral territory of many diverse Indigenous peoples. We acknowledge the First Nations, Metis, and Inuit people who have lived on and cared for this land for generations, and we strive to provide services that honor their legacy and promote reconciliation.

Life can be challenging, and sometimes we need help to navigate through its complexities. Our team of experienced therapists specializes in treating a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, and trauma. We are committed to helping our clients embrace who they are, overcome their challenges, and become the best version of themselves. As a wise person once said, "The greatest thing in the world is to feel that you are loved for who you are, and not for what you do." (Carl Rogers) We couldn't agree more.

Our Services

At Inspiration Psychology, we offer a variety of services tailored to meet the unique needs of our clients. Here are some of our therapeutic specialties:

• Adolescent & Teen Therapy: We understand that adolescence and teenage years can be challenging for both the young person and their parents. Our therapists are skilled in working with teens and parents to facilitate better communication, build self-esteem, and navigate through the complexities of growing up.
• Catholic Counselling: We respect and honor the religious and spiritual beliefs of our clients, and we offer counselling services that are grounded in Catholic teachings and values. We believe that faith and spirituality can be powerful tools for healing, growth, and transformation.
• Couples Counselling: We are committed to helping couples build stronger, healthier, and more fulfilling relationships. Our therapists use evidence-based approaches, such as emotionally focused therapy (EFT) and pre-marital counselling, to help couples communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and deepen their connection.
• EMDR: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a powerful therapeutic approach that can help clients heal from trauma, anxiety, and depression. Our therapists are trained in EMDR and use it to help clients process their experiences and achieve lasting change.
• Emotionally Focused Therapy: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) is a research-based approach that focuses on the emotional experience of individuals and couples. Our therapists use EFT to help clients understand, express, and regulate their emotions, improve their relationships, and achieve their goals.
• Family Counselling: We believe that families are the foundation of our society, and we are committed to helping them thrive. Our therapists use family systems methodologies to help families communicate effectively, resolve conflicts, and build stronger bonds.
• Grief & Bereavement Counselling: Losing a loved one is one of the most challenging experiences that we can face. Our therapists provide compassionate and supportive counselling services to help clients navigate through grief, loss, and bereavement.
• Individual Counselling: We offer one-on-one counselling services to help individuals address their unique challenges and achieve their goals. Our therapists use cognitive-behavioural and other evidence-based approaches to help clients build resilience, improve their well-being, and live their best lives.
• Pre-Marital Counselling: We believe that marriage is a sacred institution that requires preparation and commitment. Our therapists use pre-marital counselling to help couples build a strong foundation for their marriage, communicate effectively, and resolve potential conflicts.
• Supervision Services: We offer supervision services to mental health professionals who are seeking guidance, support, and feedback. Our supervisors are experienced therapists who are committed to helping professionals grow, develop, and excel in their practice.
• Speaking Engagements: We are committed to sharing our knowledge, skills, and expertise with the community. Our therapists provide speaking engagements on various topics, including mental health, wellness, and relationships.
