Chris Graham
Professional Counsellor, MPCC-Provisional designation with the Canadian Professional Counsellors Association (CPCA).
I work with pilots and men in high-pressure careers who are navigating anxiety, burnout, identity challenges, or major life transitions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I find a specialized therapist in Edmonton?
Theralist's Edmonton directory lets you filter therapists by specialty, so you can search specifically for EFT therapists, gestalt practitioners, trauma specialists, or any other approach you're looking for. With hundreds of vetted therapists listed, you can browse profiles, read about their training and experience, and contact them directly to see if they're the right fit for your needs.
What therapy modalities are most effective for different concerns?
Different evidence-based approaches work best for different issues. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is highly effective for trauma and PTSD, while EFT (Emotionally Focused Therapy) works well for couples and attachment issues. Gestalt therapy focuses on present-moment awareness and personal responsibility, and CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is widely used for anxiety and depression. The best approach often depends on your specific concerns, which is why discussing options with a therapist during your first consultation is important.
How much does therapy cost in Edmonton and how can I afford it?
Private therapy in Edmonton typically ranges from $20 to $220+ per session depending on the therapist's credentials, experience, and specialization. Many Theralist-listed therapists offer sliding scale fees based on income, and you can filter by price range. Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) through your employer often cover 6-12 free sessions annually, and extended health insurance plans commonly cover registered psychologists or counsellors. For those without benefits, Alberta Health Services provides some free or subsidized community mental health services, though wait times can be longer.
What's the difference between virtual and in-person therapy in Edmonton?
Virtual sessions offer convenience and flexibility, making therapy accessible from home and eliminating travel time. In-person therapy provides a direct human connection that some people find more therapeutic. Both modalities are evidence-based and effective, so your choice often comes down to personal preference, schedule, and access. On Theralist, you can filter for therapists offering virtual sessions, in-person appointments, or both.
Can I find a trauma-informed therapist in Edmonton?
Yes, many Edmonton therapists on Theralist specialize in trauma-informed care using evidence-based approaches like EMDR, Trauma-Focused CBT, and somatic therapies. Trauma-informed practice is increasingly standard in Edmonton's mental health community, and therapists with this training understand how trauma affects the nervous system and relationships. When searching Theralist's directory, you can look for therapists who specifically mention trauma, PTSD, or specialized trauma certification.
What should I do if I can't afford private therapy?
If cost is a barrier, start by calling Health Links (811) to inquire about Alberta Health Services community mental health clinics, which offer free or low-cost counselling with assessment and referral. Organizations like Cornerstone Counselling and Catholic Social Services offer sliding scale fees and practicum placements with graduate interns at reduced rates. Many private therapists on Theralist also offer sliding scale rates, so it's always worth asking during your initial consultation. Check if your employer offers an EAP or if you have extended health insurance that covers mental health services.
How do I choose between a psychologist, counsellor, or other mental health professional?
Registered psychologists (RPs) hold a doctoral degree and can perform psychological testing and assessment. Registered Social Workers (RSWs), Registered Counselling Psychologists (RCCs), and Registered Psychotherapists all hold master's degrees and provide therapy. Different credentials don't necessarily mean better outcomes; what matters most is finding someone trained in approaches relevant to your needs and with whom you feel a good therapeutic connection. Theralist lets you browse therapist credentials and specializations to find the right match.
Is couples therapy effective and how do I find a couples therapist in Edmonton?
Couples and marriage therapy is highly effective, especially when both partners are committed to the process. Evidence-based approaches like Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and The Gottman Method have strong research support. On Theralist, you can filter specifically for couples therapy specialists in Edmonton, read their profiles to see their approach and experience with relationship issues, and contact several to find the best fit for your relationship.
