At Wholesome Psychology, we understand that empowered leadership starts with supported managers. Whether your organization is growing rapidly, navigating change, or striving to build healthier team dynamics, your managers are at the heart of that transformation. We provide specialized manager development in Edmonton and St. Albert—grounded in psychological insight, emotional intelligence, and evidence-based leadership practices. Our team of registered psychologists and certified coaches is here to help your managers grow with confidence, clarity, and compassion.

Why Invest in Manager Development?

Strong management is more than meeting KPIs—it's about fostering trust, communication, and emotional safety in the workplace. Managers often face intense pressure to deliver results while balancing team morale, conflict resolution, and personal stress. Unfortunately, few receive meaningful training on how to navigate these challenges. That’s where we come in. Our development services are designed to:

• Enhance leadership confidence and decision-making skills
• Improve team communication and relational awareness
• Reduce stress and emotional burnout
• Support inclusive and trauma-informed leadership practices
• Build long-term resilience and workplace well-being

Our Approach to Manager Support

Wholesome Psychology takes a holistic, values-driven approach to manager coaching and leadership development. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all programs. Instead, we tailor each engagement to align with your company’s culture, goals, and the unique challenges your managers face. Whether you’re supporting new team leads or seasoned department heads, we offer the tools and perspective to help them thrive.

Our services include:

• One-on-one coaching with licensed therapists or leadership coaches
• Group development sessions to improve team dynamics and shared leadership
• Workplace mental health strategies for stress management and burnout prevention
• Conflict resolution coaching to foster safer, more effective communication
• Ongoing support and check-ins to integrate growth over time

Local Expertise Rooted in Psychological Insight

Located in both Edmonton and St. Albert, our team brings deep local knowledge and a trauma-informed, relational lens to every consultation. We prioritize psychological safety and emotional well-being—not just productivity metrics. Our registered psychologists are trained in therapeutic modalities such as ACT, EMDR, and CBT, giving us a unique ability to support managers facing personal and professional stress.

Benefits for Your Organization

Manager development is not just about the individual—it's an investment in your entire organization. By equipping managers with emotional intelligence, trauma-informed practices, and leadership tools, you're fostering a culture where employees feel seen, heard, and motivated. Our clients often report:

• Improved team morale and retention
• Healthier conflict resolution
• Decreased workplace stress and absenteeism
• More engaged and proactive leadership
• Greater alignment with organizational values

How It Works

We start by getting to know your team. In a free consultation, we explore your goals and challenges. From there, we match you with the right psychologist or leadership coach, based on personality, area of expertise, and your preferred structure. Coaching sessions are flexible and can take place in-person at our Edmonton or St. Albert locations, or remotely via secure video. We offer both one-time development packages and long-term support programs.

Who We Work With

Our manager support programs are ideal for:

• HR departments looking to reduce burnout in leadership roles
• Companies experiencing rapid growth and organizational change
• Teams facing interpersonal conflict or communication breakdowns
• Non-profits and mission-driven organizations aiming to embed values into leadership
• Small businesses seeking more grounded and emotionally intelligent managers

You can also meet the therapists and coaches who lead these sessions to find the right fit for your team.

What Makes Wholesome Psychology Different?

We’re not a corporate training firm—and that’s by design. We believe that leadership starts with self-awareness, mental wellness, and grounded values. Our support is trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and inclusive of diverse leadership styles and neurodiversity. We know that every manager has their own growth path. Our role is to walk beside them, offering psychological safety, compassion, and expert guidance.

We’re also embedded in the communities we serve. As a local practice in Edmonton and St. Albert, we understand the cultural dynamics, workforce trends, and industry needs specific to Alberta organizations. That means you’re not just getting generic leadership coaching—you’re getting strategic local insight tailored to your unique context.
