Cherisse Kovacs, Provisional Psychologist

Cherisse Kovacs View Specialties



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.e., parenting and relationship issues; difficulties finding work/life balance; caring for aging parents; etc.). I also have experience working with individuals struggling with ADHD and emotional regulation issues. 
 
Based on the unique needs of the individual, I incorporate evidence-based therapy techniques into sessions such as cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). In counselling with children (ages 6+), I incorporate play therapy techniques into sessions, which helps to build rapport to assist minor clients to learn and grow while working toward their clinical goal. I am also an eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) trained therapist.     
 
My approach as a therapist is client-centred, solution-focused, and relationship based. I believe you are the expert in your own life. Therapy can provide a space to explore life challenges, so you can create new meanings, hope and new beginnings. The alliance we form together in therapy can assist you to work through presenting issues, helping you to work toward reaching your individual potential. 
 
I am currently accepting new clients working out of Weir Psychological Services. The office address is: #206, 2 Athabascan Avenue, Sherwood Park, Alberta. If you have questions about therapy, feel free to book a complimentary 10-minute consultation to inquire about the therapeutic process. I would be happy to connect with you and discuss your goals in therapy.
