Find A Psychologist in Gibbons, AB.

I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. I have experience working with children, youth and adults. I currently work with adults (18+) in individual and couples therapy. I use client-centered, trauma informed, and evidence-based modalities in therapy and meet you where you are at in your level of readiness. I have EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing) and Gottman Couples training (Level 1 and Level 2, Affairs and Trauma training).

I have been registered as a psychologist for the past 11 years, and have undergone training in a variety of counselling methods with many different types of clients. I use a variety of techniques depending on a client's personality, presenting issue, and what they are experiencing from week to week. I also focus on both shorter term counselling that is directed towards resolving a particular issue, as well as longer term psychotherapy that is more focused on internal exploration and deeper change. I provide a safe, empathic environment so that clients are comfortable sharing their thoughts, feelings, and experiences, and find the strength to overcome adversity and make healthy choices.

Are you struggling and feeling overwhelmed? Are you finding it difficult to manage stress? Hello and welcome. My name is Cherisse Kovacs, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I graduated with a Master of Counselling from Athabasca University in 2020. Prior to entering into the field of psychology, I was a Social Worker and spent most of my career working directly with children, youth and families. As a therapist, I assist individuals (ages 6+) struggling to cope with anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. I have experience helping individuals overcome challenges related to managing multiple life stressors. I also have experience working with individuals struggling with ADHD and emotional regulation issues.

My approach to working with clients is in the first counselling session to get a detailed understanding of the symptoms regarding mental health that you identify with, and more specifically the impacts they have on your day to day functioning. Once the symptoms have been established the goal is then to work towards developing skills and strategies to help you manage those symptoms better and to improve your overall functioning.

Sometimes life’s up’s and downs feel really hard. Relationships can be challenging, and it’s hard to understand what gets in the way of peace and happiness. As a psychologist I am trained to assist you in figuring out how to get life back on track. I incorporate faith and spirituality with psychological principle to assist you in letting go of limiting thoughts and reconnecting to your Wise/Devine Self. Why a psychologist? Psychologists generally have more extensive education and clinical training than counsellors and are able to address more complex issues.

My approach is based on multiple evidenced based theoretical perspectives. I integrate these perspectives into individualized treatments to cater to the unique circumstances of clients. The therapeutic relationship is essential for psychological change. Within this relationship the safety and security required to explore different perspectives is created. I have successfully worked with people from a variety of backgrounds to treat a variety of issues and look forward to working with you.
