ABOUT DR. EASTER
I am a Registered Psychologist (#3932) in Alberta with over 15 years of counselling experience and over a decade of post-graduate psychology focused training. I offer counselling services to adults (18+) and seniors, both individually and in couples. I also offer group therapy services. In my practice I am committed to providing a caring, compassionate and non-judgemental space for you to explore what’s troubling you and work towards your goals.

My approach puts you and your goals at the centre of the therapy process. I look for ways to weave your strengths into the work we do together. I listen to how you speak, the words you use, and the images you create as you tell your story. I strive to create a judgement free space in which you can come to your own answers about how you want to live.

I use a variety of therapeutic approaches, integrating them together in a way that works best for you. Among the approaches used are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Hypnosis, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectic Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Narrative Therapy, Gestalt, Hakomi, Psychodrama, Expressive Arts, and Mindfulness-based therapies.

Research tells us that the most significant factor in therapeutic progress, however, is first and foremost the relationship between the therapist and the client. Having a safe, supportive, caring and trusting connection with your therapist greatly increases the likelihood of your experiencing success in achieving your goals in therapy. Knowing this, it is important to me to build and nurture caring and positive relationships with my clients. I want you to know you have someone you trust supporting you, cheering you on, respecting you, and honouring your struggles and pain, as I walk along side you on your wellness journey.
