Find A Psychologist in Wellington, AB.

As a psychologist I have been trained to understand and continue to study the relationship between the brain, the nervous system, personality and behavior. To understand the whole of the psyche in relationship to the contributing factors of society supports better mental health outcomes. As a psychologist I am rooted in the science of brain and behavior and as a human being I recognize that there is a whole lot more to this experience of being alive.

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.

Everyday life presents us with different challenges, and not all challenges are easy to overcome. In order to preserve our mental and physical health, it is important to identify when the challenges we are facing are beyond the normal threshold of storm and stress. The next step in preserving your mental and physical health is making a decision to reach out and find a professional who will provide you with a safe environment; an environment where you will feel safe, comfortable, respected, listened to and understood. I want to provide you with that safe environment and give you the necessary support to deal with challenges you face. I want to give you time and space to share with me your thoughts, emotions, needs, desires, struggles, and questions.

I help clients by listening intently to what a client is struggling with in life. I try to formulate a complex understanding of what the problem is and then consider how best to address it. Once we have collaboratively identified the problem, we begin to strategize ideas for how to see change that is possible and sustainable for the client. There are many ways to find an adequate solution to a problem, but the point of working with a psychologist is to have these ideas tailored to your personality.

People come to see me and I try to help them through listening with compassion and speaking from the heart. I hold space for the extraordinary and I keep secrets for a living. I am no-teacher no-healer no-doctor no-therapist. I am Paul. Most of what I know about helping people I learned from the people I have helped so far. Although I have a great formal education and helpful expertise to share, when I listen to someone speak of the facts of their experience, I am listening to the world's foremost expert on the topic. If I keep my mind open, this experience is the best education humanly possible.

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.

I have successfully worked with people from a variety of backgrounds to treat a variety of issues and look forward to working with you.
