Evidence-Based Trauma Counselling & Therapy in Edmonton

Make Positive Changes In Your Life.

Counselling Services. Learn skills. Grow insights. Build a value-driven life.

Our work is rooted in the belief that healing isn’t a straight line—it’s a courageous return to wholeness guided by compassion, expertise, and the kind of human connection that cannot be automated or rushed. We specialize in trauma and complex trauma therapy, offering a grounded, evidence-informed path forward for people who’ve spent too long surviving instead of living. In a world that rewards speed and surface-level fixes, we create a sanctuary for deeper transformation—where your nervous system can exhale, your story is met without judgment, and your healing becomes possible.
 
At Equinox, you’re not “a case” or “a diagnosis.” You’re a human being deserving of safety, dignity, and a future that feels like your own again. Our team of psychologists and registered clinical counsellors offer science-backed, compassionate therapy tailored to your needs.

FAQs

What types of trauma do you specialize in?

We focus on single-incident trauma as well as complex trauma, including childhood trauma, relational trauma, emotional neglect, sexual trauma, abuse, and the lingering impacts of chronic stress or unsafe environments. Whether your experiences were recent or decades ago, our work centers on restoring safety, regulation, and inner connection.

Your first session is a slow, grounded conversation—not an interrogation. We talk about what brought you here, what you’re hoping to change, and where you feel safest starting. You don’t need to share your full story right away; we move at a pace you are comfortable with.

No. Many clients come to us simply knowing something feels “off,” stuck, or overwhelming. You do not need a diagnosis, a referral, or a perfectly articulated reason to begin. Your lived experience is enough.

We draw from evidence-informed, trauma-specific modalities such as EMDR, somatic therapy, parts work, attachment-focused approaches, and nervous ystem regulation techniques. Every plan is customized—because no two people experience trauma the same way, and your healing shouldn’t be generic either.

Payment is due at the end of each session. We accept e-transfer, Visa, Visa Debit or Mastercard. 

Yes. We’re covered by most major plans in Alberta (Alberta Blue Cross, Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life, Green Shield, etc.). We direct bill whenever possible so you don’t have to pay upfront and wait for reimbursement.

If a session starts late, it will end at the originally scheduled time with the same fee arrangement as for a full session.

A minimum of 48 hours is required to cancel an individual session without charge. If you need to cancel, please contact your individual therapist.
