Hunter Volk

Therapy is a collaborative journey. My goal is to work in tandem with you to understand the roots of your struggles and cultivate lasting change. To honour your vulnerability, I aim to create an inviting and client-centred space where you can be curious, feel safe, and are understood.

My practice is grounded in a strong academic background in psychology and sociology, which ensures I deliver modern, ethical, and evidence-based care. This foundation is complemented by diverse, real-world experiences working among researchers, post-secondary institutions, and community organizations across Alberta.

I am passionate about supporting diverse populations with a wide range of concerns. I recognize that clients often seek therapists based on shared identity, so I bring my personal perspective as a man, a young adult, and a queer person into my practice. Through my mental health work and education, I have experience counselling clients facing anxiety, depression, identity and self-concept struggles, dealing with interpersonal violence, relationship issues, and living with mental health disorders. I address these concerns by taking a holistic and multidisciplinary approach. This commitment ensures I remain open-minded, accountable, and collaborative, which helps create the best possible outcomes for my clients.

I approach clients using a tailored mix of theories and methodologies. I use evidence-backed treatments such as cognitive behavioural therapy, solution- and strengths-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. These techniques are integrated with humanistic, existentialist, culturally sensitive, and trauma-informed perspectives. Combined, this versatility allows me to match interventions to your specific needs and promote resilience, empowerment, and change. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about what I can offer or whether we might be a good fit for each other. Come as you are. I look forward to hearing from you!
