Personalized Counselling in Cochrane for Adults, Teens, and Families

Welcome.
If you’re here, you might be going through a tough time or simply looking for some support. Life can be messy, uncertain, and overwhelming, and it’s not always easy to navigate on your own. You may be feeling stuck, anxious, burnt out, or just needing someone to process your thoughts and feelings with. Whatever brings you here, I offer a supportive environment where you can show up exactly as you are.

I provide counselling in Cochrane for adults, teens, and families, creating a supportive environment for healing and growth. If you’re wondering whether therapy might help or if we’d be a good fit, feel free to reach out. I’d be happy to connect.

At the heart of my counselling practice is a commitment to a client-centered approach. I recognize that each person’s journey is unique. Because of this, I tailor the counselling process to your individual needs and goals. Whether you’re seeking individual counselling or family therapy, I offer evidence-based therapy services that will prioritize your well-being and growth.

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. I am an experienced therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience. Throughout my career, I have provided mental health services to adults, adolescents, and families with a wide range of emotional and psychological 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.

Counselling for Adults, Adolescents, and Families

My practice focuses on providing individual therapy for adults and adolescents who are navigating a wide range of emotional and psychological concerns.

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

In addition to my work with adults, I have years of experience working in adolescent psychiatry through Alberta Health Services. I understand the unique challenges that can arise during adolescence, particularly around communication, self-discovery, and emotional well-being.
