Hi there! My name is Camryn. I am a Master’s Level Student Intern Therapist and I am currently completing a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University. I also hold a Bachelor of Science degree, completed at Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton. My lived experience and education have shaped me into a clinician who is grounded in a person-centred approach and genuine empathy. I value the unique experiences each person brings and how these experiences shape our perspectives and interactions. I pride myself on developing rapport based on collaboration and connection, with a focus on curiosity. The populations I provide support to are children and adults.

Camryn works at the St. Albert Clinic on Saturdays and the Edmonton Clinic during the week.

Therapy for Children & Parents

I focus on providing children (aged 7 and older) with a welcoming, safe environment in which to explore their challenges on their journey. A foundation in my approach is being judgment-free and coming from a place of understanding and genuine regard for all challenges. I provide support in developing coping skills, emotional regulation, social skills, and confidence-building. I utilize approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Experiential Therapy, mixed with elements of play and art, tailoring each approach to the specific needs of each child. I prioritize creating a space that fosters continuous learning and care. The integration of caregiver and parent collaboration is essential for the support I provide and allows a deeper understanding of each child’s unique challenges.

Therapy for Teens

I support adolescents using a combination of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT), Narrative Therapy, Strengths-based approach to support adolescents with emotional and behavioural regulation needs, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, academic stress, goal-setting and other mental health concerns. Through various modalities, I support adolescents in gaining a deeper understanding of themselves and their strengths, developing emotional resilience, and cultivating healthy coping mechanisms in a supportive, non-judgmental environment.

Therapy for Adults

When working with adults, I prioritize my clients’ feelings of being heard and understood in their challenges. I explore the challenges that each client brings and offer an approach grounded in empathy, validation, and collaboration. I explore thoughts, behaviours and feelings to find an approach that aligns with my clients’ goals and strengths. I am here to offer support, navigate challenges and successes together.

I incorporate evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, Person-Centred Therapy (PCT), and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT) to support adults in addressing challenges, including stress, work-life balance issues, anxiety, relationship concerns, and other mental health concerns.

A Bit About Me

I am a person who thoroughly loves the outdoors, especially in the summer. I enjoy the relaxation nature offers and the serene escape from the busy city life. When I am not studying or working, I am usually outside enjoying the snow or the sand, depending on the season. When I am able to take a break from life’s demands, I appreciate sitting down with a good book or indulging in a movie with my partner.

Hello! I’m Kristopher, a Registered Provisional Psychologist who believes meaningful change happens through genuine connection and collaboration. I hold a Master of Education in Counselling Psychology Degree from the University of Lethbridge and a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Psychology Degree from the University of Alberta. My approach is humanistic and person-centered, grounded in warmth and authenticity, while integrating evidence-based modalities such as CBT, DBT, and EFT. I work primarily with adolescents (13–17) and adults, with a particular interest in men’s mental health, identity, and self-worth.

Therapy for Teens

I provide therapy for teens experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and emotional regulation challenges. My approach integrates CBT and EFT within a supportive, relational environment. I aim to help teens develop self-awareness, confidence, and effective coping skills as they navigate the challenges of growing up.

Therapy for Adults

I support adults dealing with anxiety, depression, borderline personality features, addiction, loneliness, suicidality, hopelessness, and challenges with self-worth. Drawing from CBT, DBT, and EFT, I use a strengths-based, solution-focused, and humanistic framework. My goal is to help clients understand their experiences, cultivate resilience, and make choices that align with their values and goals.

A Bit About Me

Outside of work, I greatly value spending time with loved ones—my girlfriend, family, friends, and our three cats. I enjoy long walks and biking in the summer, and though I’m not great at it, I love snowboarding in the winter. I enjoy reading both fiction (especially fantasy) and non-fiction. To unwind, I like playing video games (both casually and competitively), learning the piano, and watching TV shows with my girlfriend. I strive to bring the same authenticity, curiosity, and balance that I value in life into my work with clients.

Hello! My name is Megan Farnel, and I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor based in St. Albert. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University, as well as a Master’s (Simon Fraser University) and a Bachelor’s (University of Alberta) in English.

I work exclusively with teens and adults, supporting individuals as they navigate life’s challenges, changes, and transitions, including questions of neurodivergence, gender and sexual identity, burnout, grief and loss, and (in)fertility.

Therapy for Teens & Adults

I offer support to teens (aged 15+) and adults in a wide range of areas including neurodivergence (ADHD, ASD), OCD, burnout, gender and sexual identity, depression, anxiety, and reproductive mental health ((in)fertility, prenatal, postpartum, PMDD).

I believe that the world, including our mental health, is shaped by stories. There is something powerful about claiming ownership over our stories, sharing them with trusted others, and recognizing our own agency and capacity for change. I am particularly invested in what I think of as whole stories for whole people: our mental health and wellness are shaped by the many intersecting systems, relationships, identities, and experiences that make us who we are. My role as a therapist is to hold space for and honour each client’s unique story while supporting them in moving toward the lives they want to build. I believe that clients are the experts in their own lives, and that therapy should be responsive to their individual values, goals, identities, and contexts rather than asking them to fit a predetermined model of wellness. I approach therapy from a trauma-informed and strengths-based perspective, drawing primarily from narrative, person-centred, acceptance and commitment (ACT), attachment-based, cognitive behavioural (CBT), and dialectical behavioural (DBT) approaches. Ultimately, therapy is a collaborative process, and I work with clients to find approaches and strategies that feel meaningful, useful, and well-suited to their individual needs.

A Bit About Me

Outside of counselling, I am a voracious reader of both fiction and nonfiction, a lifelong gamer, and an enthusiastic writer. I love exploring new places and trying new things, and some of my favourite adventures are the ones I get to share with my partner and our children. Whether we are travelling somewhere new, getting absorbed in a game, or settling in for a quiet evening with a good book, I value the curiosity, creativity, connection, and sense of play that make life feel full.

Hello! I’m Jennifer Fudali, a Canadian Certified Counsellor here at Solace Psychology & Wellness. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology Degree from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Education Degree through the University of Alberta. I work from a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and client-centred approach. I integrate evidence-based and relational therapies, including EMDR, parts-informed, and Emotional approaches, to support clients in feeling safer, more regulated, and more connected to themselves and others.

I work with children, teens, and adults who are navigating anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, trauma, attachment wounds, relationship difficulties, and life transitions.

Therapy for Children & Teens

Childhood and adolescence can bring big emotions, worries, and challenges that feel overwhelming for both kids and their caregivers. I work with children and teens who are experiencing anxiety, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), emotional regulation difficulties, attachment challenges, low self-esteem, social stress, and the impacts of stressful or overwhelming life experiences.

My approach is warm, developmentally appropriate, and grounded in attachment and trauma-informed care. With children, I integrate play-based, relational, and body-based strategies to help them express themselves, build emotional awareness, and feel safe.

With teens, I offer a supportive space to explore emotions, identity, relationships, and coping skills while fostering resilience, confidence, and self-understanding. When appropriate, I collaborate with parents and caregivers to support growth both in and outside of sessions.

Therapy for Adults

I work with adults navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, parenting support, emotional regulation difficulties, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the lasting effects of past experiences. Many of the adults I support feel overwhelmed, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward after long periods of stress or relational strain.

My work with adults is client-centred, trauma-informed, and attachment-focused. I draw from approaches such as EMDR, parts-informed, and Emotionally focused therapies to help clients feel more grounded, develop insight into their patterns, and build a greater sense of safety and self-compassion. Together, we work at a pace that feels manageable, supporting meaningful change and emotional well-being.

A Bit About Me

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my family, being outdoors, and traveling when I can. I’m drawn to spaces that feel calm and grounding—especially near the water—and I value experiences that encourage reflection and connection. These interests support my belief in balance and self-care, which I bring into my work with clients in a thoughtful and compassionate way.

Hello! My name is Nichole Olivieri, and I am a Registered Dietitian passionate about helping people improve their health through practical, personalized, and evidence-based nutrition.

I graduated from the University of Alberta with a Bachelor of Science in Nutrition and Food Science, with a specialization in Dietetics and am actively registered with the College of Dietitians of Alberta. I have worked in diverse clinical settings across Alberta, supporting patients in areas including geriatrics, intensive care, digestive health, and paediatrics.

I work with both adult and paediatric populations and enjoy supporting clients with family nutrition, women’s health concerns, and a wide range of clinical needs.

Through my diverse experience in clinical nutrition, I support clients across the lifespan with practical, individualized, and evidence-based nutrition care. I have a special interest in women’s health and menopause nutrition, and enjoy helping clients navigate hormonal changes, weight concerns, digestive concerns, mental health, and building sustainable habits that support long term wellbeing. I also have experience supporting families with paediatric nutrition concerns, including picky eating and feeding challenges.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and realistic. I strongly believe nutrition should feel supportive, not restrictive, and that change comes from strategies that fit your life. I strive to create a non-judgemental space where clients feel heard, supported, and empowered.

Hello! I am Keciya, a Canadian Certified Counsellor at Solace Psychology & Wellness. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Burman University. I am a professional member at the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.

I provide clinical counselling for children, adults, and seniors navigating a wide range of psychological, emotional, and life challenges. I take an integrative approach to therapy drawing from various evidence based psychological modalities. Every person’s story is unique, so I tailor our sessions to fit your specific needs to foster healing and meaningful growth.

Therapy for Children & Parents

I support children aged 3 to 12 who experience anxiety, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), grief and loss, emotional regulation difficulties, attachment challenges, low self-esteem, and academic struggles.

Children communicate through play. By meeting young clients in their natural language of play, I utilize play-based therapy to create a safe, grounded space where children process heavy emotions and cultivate resilience. For older children, I bring in developmentally appropriate therapeutic strategies to foster self-esteem, confidence, and coping skills.

In addition to supporting children, I am passionate about partnering with parents to build cohesive strategies that support the whole family unit.

Therapy for Adults

Life’s transitions and chronic stressors whether personal, academic, or health-related can leave anyone feeling disconnected or overwhelmed. I offer a warm, integrative approach blending Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behaviour Therapy (REBT), psychodynamic, and humanistic approaches tailored to support your concerns. I support clients experiencing chronic illness, academic struggles, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), anger, anxiety, stress, attachment struggles, boundaries and communication issues, sleep concerns, low self-esteem, burnout, career transitions/ planning, depression, emotional regulation, grief and loss, life transitions, and parenting.

Therapy for Couples

Meaningful connection requires a foundation of safety, mutual understanding, and clear boundaries. Utilizing the Gottman Method as a core framework, I work with couples to untangle negative interaction cycles, strengthen emotional intimacy, and rebuild effective communication.

A Bit About Me

When I’m not in the office, you’ll usually find me enjoying quality family time, fresh air, or a great cup of coffee. Watching my young son grow, play, and discover the world is easily the most rewarding part of my day. My husband and I love hiking and exploring nature, while my personal downtime is often reading books and listening to music.
