At Wholesome Psychology, we believe that psychotherapy is more than just talking—it's about meaningful transformation. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, trauma, or life transitions, psychotherapy offers a path toward healing, self-awareness, and emotional resilience. Our Edmonton and St. Albert therapists work collaboratively with you to help make sense of your experiences and build healthier coping strategies. You can learn more about our unique approach to care as well.
What Is Psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy—often referred to as talk therapy—is a structured, evidence-based process where individuals work with a licensed professional to explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. The goal is to better understand yourself, develop effective coping tools, and create long-lasting emotional wellness. Unlike medical treatments that may focus on medications, psychotherapy places the relationship between client and therapist at the center of the healing journey.
Our approach at Wholesome Psychology honors your unique background, values, and lived experiences. Through dialogue, reflection, and a nonjudgmental space, we guide you toward understanding the root of your challenges while equipping you with tools to face them constructively.

Who Can Benefit from Psychotherapy?

If you're unsure whether therapy is right for you, we invite you to contact us for a free consultation. Our intake process is designed to match you with a therapist who understands your specific needs.
How Psychotherapy Works
Psychotherapy at Wholesome Psychology is guided by compassion, curiosity, and collaboration. You’ll begin with an initial assessment to understand your history, goals, and concerns. From there, you and your therapist will co-create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
Sessions may be held weekly or bi-weekly, depending on your goals. While therapy can be challenging at times—especially when confronting painful emotions—it also creates space for deep insight and empowerment. Many clients find that therapy enhances their emotional intelligence, deepens their relationships, and helps them respond to stress with greater ease.
