About me

Hello! My name is Alison. I am a registered social worker (with the Alberta College of Social Work), with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Lethbridge. I am an experienced therapist, with over 20 years of clinical experience providing mental health services to adults, adolescents, and families with complex mental health needs.

In-Person Sessions:

For those who prefer face-to-face interaction, in-person sessions provide a traditional therapeutic setting.

Virtual Therapy:

I also offer virtual therapy sessions to accommodate individuals who may find this mode of communication more convenient or suitable to their lifestyle.

Individual Therapy

Individual therapy is a personalized space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and personal challenges.

Therapy for Adolescents

I provide both individual and family therapy for teens.

Parenting Support/ Therapy

Therapy for parents can address a variety of concerns and challenges related to parenting, family dynamics, and individual well-being.

Family Therapy

I offer family therapy to support families in understanding each other better, resolving conflicts, improving communication, and creating a healthier family system.

Specializing in Therapy for Adults, Adolescents, and Families

I specialize in providing individual therapy and counselling in Cochrane for adults and adolescents. Many of the people I work with are navigating a wide range of emotional and mental health concerns. These may include anxiety, depression, stress, grief, life transitions, or the lasting effects of trauma. Others are feeling stuck, disconnected, or unsure of how to move forward.

My approach to mental health support is collaborative and respectful. I use evidence-based therapy practices that are tailored to meet each person’s unique needs and goals. Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or meaningful change, therapy in Cochrane can be a powerful step toward feeling more grounded and in control of your life.

I have a strong background in adolescent psychiatry, along with years of experience supporting teens and their families through counselling. The teenage years can bring unique challenges that often affect family dynamics, communication, and emotional well-being.

To support this, I offer adolescent counselling and family therapy focused on helping teens build self-awareness, regulate emotions, and manage the pressures they face. At the same time, I work with parents and caregivers to strengthen connection and foster greater understanding within the family system.

Let’s Connect

Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with is an important part of the process, and I’d be happy to connect for a brief phone consultation to help you get a sense of what working together could look like.
