I’m really glad you found your way here. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure where to begin, you’re not alone.

I support teenagers and adults, with a special focus on moms at all stages of motherhood, including pregnancy (prenatal), postpartum, and the many challenges of parenting. I work with clients who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship or family challenges, parenting stress, and the emotional and identity changes that can come with becoming and being a parent.

Hello! I am a pediatric occupational therapist who loves to support kids and their families to have smoother days. As an OT, I look at a child’s skills, their environment, their activities, and the interplay of those three to inform goals and progression toward those goals. My approach is play-infused, evidence-driven, and child-led. I value coming alongside you – the parent – in supporting your kid. I obtained my degree from the University of Alberta in 2008 and went on to work on interdisciplinary teams in pediatric neurodevelopment and mental health, including working with kids and parents who have experienced trauma. I have experience in schools, clinics, daycares, and homes.

As a mom of three (now teens), I am keenly aware of the challenges of navigating the parenting life, family routines, and school demands. When I’m not in your home or in the clinic, I am most likely chauffeuring my kiddos to their activities, trying to keep up with my high-energy husband or dog, attempting to bring order to my house, or delving into some creative venture.

Hi there! I’m Chelsea, and I am a Behavioural Consultant with over 10 years of experience supporting children, youth, and families across school, home, and community settings. Much of my experience has been within school-based environments, where I have had the opportunity to work alongside students, families, educators, and multidisciplinary teams to better understand behaviour and develop practical, meaningful supports that help children feel successful and connected.

I approach my work from a neuro-affirming and trauma-informed perspective, with a strong belief that behaviour is communication and that understanding the “why” behind behaviour is essential to creating meaningful change. I believe that children do best when they feel safe, understood, and connected, and I strive to build collaborative relationships where children and families feel heard, respected, and empowered.

I am passionate about helping families and teams move away from simply managing behaviour and toward understanding the skills, needs, and experiences underneath it. Whether supporting emotional regulation, flexibility, communication, participation, or challenging behaviour, I focus on strengths-based strategies that are practical, individualized, and able to be carried over into everyday life.

Collaboration is at the heart of my practice. I enjoy coaching and working alongside caregivers, educators, and other professionals to build confidence and capacity, with the goal of creating consistent and supportive environments where children can engage, participate, and thrive.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family, getting creative, mountain biking, reading, and keeping up with the busy (and fun!) lives of my two children.

Navigating the complexities of childhood and adolescence can be challenging—for both young individuals and their families. As a Registered Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from Dalhousie University and over 16 years of experience, I have dedicated my career to supporting children, youth, and families in navigating mental health challenges. My journey has taken me through various community and clinical settings, providing me with a comprehensive understanding of the unique needs of young individuals.

In addition to my work at Alberta Therapy Co., I serve as the Program Manager for a Mental Health Capacity Building Program, where I lead efforts to enhance school-based mental health supports for students across Alberta. This involves working collaboratively with students, families, educators, and community stakeholders to build resilience by strengthening protective factors such as emotional regulation, social connectedness, self-efficacy, and access to supportive environments.

I believe in creating a culture of mental wellness for young people—one that normalizes conversations about mental health, fosters resilience, and empowers young people to seek the support they need to feel seen, heard and valued. My therapeutic practice integrates Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, fostering a collaborative environment where clients actively participate in crafting their path to well-being. These modalities promote healing and growth through empowering individuals to reframe their personal narratives, focus on strengths and solutions, and cultivate the motivation needed for meaningful change.

Beyond my professional life, I spend my time embracing the joyful chaos of my own family life. My spare moments are most often spent at the hockey rink cheering on my 3 girls or enjoying the great outdoors. An animal lover and outdoor enthusiast, I find solace and inspiration in nature—whether it’s exploring scenic trails, fishing on tranquil waters, or simply enjoying a moment under the open sky, these experiences enrich my perspective and reinforce my commitment to fostering holistic well-being in both my family and the families I support.

I am originally from Toronto, but Edmonton became home after graduating from the Speech Language Pathology program at the University of Alberta.

In my career I have focused on the preschool population, working with children in community daycare and preschool programs with a range of diagnoses and communication profiles.

Hi! I’m Natalia Blustein, an occupational therapist passionate about helping kids—from birth to 18—build confidence and thrive in daily life. I earned my Master’s in Occupational Therapy from the University of Alberta in 2022, and since then, I’ve been supporting children and their families through meaningful, play-based therapy and a parent coaching model.

I have experience in a range of areas including sensory processing, motor skills, feeding, dressing, toileting, interoception, energy conservation, and other key developmental skills that support a child’s ability to engage in the things they need and want to do. I work closely with families, using a coaching model to help them integrate strategies into everyday routines, empowering them to continue supporting their child’s growth outside of sessions.

Outside of work, I recharge by being outdoors—hiking, gardening, camping, working out, or walking my fluffy Bernedoodle, Opal. I’m also a creative at heart, often found exploring coffee shops, painting with watercolours, playing piano, or diving into a new DIY project.

Thanks for stopping by! If you’re curious about OT or want to connect, I’d love to hear from you.

Hello! My name is Vlady and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. My interests and practice experiences have centered on concerns such as anger, borderline personality disorder, relationship challenges, trauma, life transitions, and ADHD. I enjoy working with adults, seniors, and adolescents (ages 13+).

Hi, I’m Colleen! I graduated with my masters in Occupational Therapy in 2013 from the University of Alberta and have diverse experience working with children and adults as both a mental health therapist and occupational therapist. My practice is characterized by a holistic approach to child development and overall family wellness.

Since becoming a parent myself, my passion lies in empowering parents to become emotionally regulated, steady, and sturdy pillars of support for their children. I believe that by helping parents manage their own sensory needs effectively, they can create a more nurturing and stable environment for their families. Parenting is hard, and I want to help build your capacity to enjoy these family years.

Parental Mental Health Coaching Approach

Emotional Regulation Techniques: Teaching parents practical strategies to recognize and manage their emotions, even in high-stress situations. Mindful Parenting: Introducing mindfulness practices that help parents stay present and responsive to their children’s needs. Attachment-Based Strategies: Methods are rooted in attachment theory, fostering secure parent-child relationships. Child Development: Providing education on & promoting age-appropriate skills and milestones across all developmental domains. Play-Based Therapy: Utilizing play as a powerful tool for learning, development, and healing.- Sensory Processing Education: Helping parents understand and address their own sensory needs, as well as their children’s to reduce family stress.

Feeding Therapy Approach

As a mom to three young children, all of whom had tethered oral tissues and various feeding struggles, I understand how stressful feeding can be.  These experiences inspired me to specialize further as a pediatric feeding therapist. My hope is that mealtime can become be a time of connection and comfort for all family members. My approach to therapy is to come alongside children and their families with comprehensive assessment to understand the ‘why’ behind feeding struggles.  Then we can collaborate together to make a plan that is meaningful, functional, and fun.

In addition to parent coaching, and feeding therapy, I am happy to support activities of daily living, fine/gross motor development, emotional regulation, and sensory processing.

I look forward to supporting you!

I completed my masters at the University of Toronto in 2016, packed up all my belongings in a minivan, and made the big move across the country to Alberta. I began my career working alongside a team of occupational therapists, psychologists, and other speech-language pathologists in the school setting. Our team collaborated to provide universal programming at the classroom level in areas such as social skills and reading comprehension as well as provided support and recommendations to teachers. I also provided individual services to students from kindergarten to grade 12, in both one-on-one sessions and small group settings.

One integral aspect of my practice is formulating speech and language goals for my clients that are both unique to their communication needs and functional within their environment. I am a strong believer of including close communication partners into the therapy session to help promote the carry-over of skills into the child’s everyday life and I have seen firsthand the benefit of doing so.
