TRAUMA THERAPY IN EDMONTON
Supportive Therapy for Eating Disorders, Trauma, and Emotional Healing
Gentle, consistent support for your ongoing growth.
Gentle, consistent support for your steady, ongoing growth.
For those who heal best through rhythm and reflection, weekly or biweekly sessions offer the steady heartbeat of growth. This is a space to process experiences, explore patterns, and work toward sustained healing over time.
Ongoing therapy might be right for you if:
You’re beginning your healing journey
You value steady, continuous support
You’re working through complex issues gradually
Supporting healing at the intersection of trauma, body, and belonging.
At Poirier Counselling, I believe that eating disorder recovery begins below the surface of the patterns we see, helping individuals rebuild trust with food and body, reduce shame, and find new ways of relating to themselves.
Therapy with me is a collaborative process, one where we explore your inner world together rather than rushing, forcing, or overriding your experience.
I strive to hear not only the stories you bring in, but also the voice beneath the story: the parts of you that adapted to survive, belong, and protect you in moments of threat, neglect, or overwhelm.
From a place of curiosity and compassion, we work towards understanding the protective parts that keep you safe, and shifting unconscious patterns that keep you feeling held back.
By becoming aware of unconscious strategies and relational patterns, you begin to unlearn survival patterns so you can live in a way that aligns with your desires and values.
Momentum that builds over time.
Weekly or biweekly therapy sessions are ideal if you’re seeking gradual, consistent support. This is a space to process experiences, explore patterns, and work toward sustained healing over time.
Available on Tuesdays (10 am to 6:30 pm) and Wednesdays (10 am to 5 pm).

“Learning emotional safety can be difficult for people who have never felt it before… or whose legacies were avoidance, skipping over things, or believing trauma is something you ‘get over’ rather than something we walk with, tend to, and slowly release.”

Modalities guide the work, but the therapeutic relationship anchors it. Together we choose approaches that align with your needs and support real, sustainable shifts.
-
A therapy approach that helps you process painful memories, often within 1-5 sessions, such as trauma symptoms, recurring distress, nightmares, sleep issues, and body shame struggles. ART is known to reduce distress from past experiences, increased emotional freedom, and more energy for life.
-
Exploration and integration of different parts of yourself, such as your relationship to food and body, shame, isolation, societal pressure, and protective patterns. This modality brings an understanding of self, a compassionate connection to body, and empowerment to explore healthier patterns. You don’t have to be “sick enough” to do this work — anyone ready to change can take the next step.
-
Discover and clarify your values (what really matters to you) and take small, meaningful steps to embody those values, even when things feel uncomfortable. This combines mindfulness, self-compassion, and practical strategies to help you feel more flexible, grounded, and in control of your choices.
-
Notice what’s really happening under the surface of your feelings and create healthier ways to connect and respond. EFT focuses on building stronger, more secure connections with yourself or in your relationships by exploring patterns of attachment, emotional needs, and communication.

A Practice Rooted in Inclusivity
At Poirier Counselling, healing is for everyone. I am dedicated to creating an inclusive, flexible, and welcoming space for all identities, honouring and integrating culturally responsive and decolonized practices, and supporting neurodivergent and marginalized clients with care and respect.
My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and collaboration, with the goal that each person feels heard and understood.
