COUPLES & FAMILY
COUNSELLING

No one and no issue can happen in isolation.  As a family therapist and a Social Worker, I like to see things within a broader context.  Some issues need to be dealt with in the context of the family, or the couple.  An initial session is similar to an individual session in that the first step is to get to know you and your family.  This can be complicated and so in some cases we may need more than 50 min for the first session.  Together we will develop a plan that everyone can agree upon and a goal that will help you move forward.

​

​In some cases people prefer to do therapy over the course of a few hours rather than once a week.  This can be useful for families that are out of town.  It is also helpful when an individual or couple has an issue or trauma that they would like to deal with quickly for intense symptom relief.

$180.00 per 50 Minute session

Land Acknowledgement

We respectfully acknowledge that Cold Lake is located on Treaty 6 territory and within the traditional lands of Cold Lake First Nations, Frog Lake First Nation, Kehewin Cree Nation, and Beaver Lake Cree Nation, as well as the Métis communities and settlements of northeastern Alberta, including Elizabeth Métis Settlement and Fishing Lake Métis Settlement. We honour their enduring relationships with the land, culture, family, and community.

As social workers, we believe a land acknowledgement is more than recognizing where we are. It also means acknowledging the ongoing impacts of colonization and respecting Indigenous knowledge, strengths, and diverse ways of healing.

In our practice, this means approaching Indigenous ways of knowing and healing with cultural humility, respecting self-determination, and honouring Indigenous ways of healing.

For us, reconciliation requires continued learning, reflection, from respectfuland reciprocal, and a commitment to building respectful and reciprocal relationships through our practice of social work.
