You Deserve to Feel Great. I’m Here to Help.
Welcome! It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Counselling is like that too. The decision to go to counselling is an important step and is frequently made when you are struggling and feeling overwhelmed. I applaud your courage in taking steps towards bettering yourself by acknowledging those things in your life that are no longer serving you!
My Background
My name is Stacey Bjornstad and I am a Registered Psychologist (#7588) in good standing with the College of Alberta Psychologists. I am also a proud member of the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta and the Canadian Psychological Association. Before becoming a Registered Psychologist, I spent nearly two decades working in human services related to first responder populations (veterans, police, and military) and children in care.
My Recent Training
I have received training in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) – Basic and certification as a Therapeutic Play Practitioner (TPP) through the Rocky Mountain Play Therapy Institute. Additionally, I am a first year student of Somatic Experiencing.
My Approach
I start from a person-centered approach. Sometimes I borrow other methods and ideas to best fit your needs. You are a unique individual who is the expert of your life experiences, and you may seek a safe and non-judgmental third party to allow yourself the space to uncover your strengths, resiliency, and achieve clarity to your unique challenges. I am a genuine, warm, empathetic, and compassionate therapist who can help you on your journey.
My Philosophy
I believe in prioritizing building a relationship with clients before and during the hard work of therapy. I am privileged to be part of your journey and I aim to allow you the collaborative safe, supportive space to grow and change. As a seasoned life observer, I want to help you deepen your perspective on life through the counselling process. We are partners in your journey to become the best version of yourself through self-discovery and personal growth.
