Other Feminist Psychologists & Social Workers in Edmonton

These symbols represent that the practitioner has specifically identified themselves as
a) being poly-friendly b) working from a Health at Every Size Approach or c) being a registered provider with FNIHB. I want to note that just because a practitioner does not have these symbols beside their name doesn't mean that they aren't these things - it may be that I don't know about it, or forgot to ask. Please make sure to check in with each therapist directly about what you're looking for. I'm hoping that this page may be a starting place to guide you.

Similarly, while we try to update this listing once a year, availability might change during that time. We recommend that you check with each practitioner or consult their website to know if they're currently accepting new clients. Even if they're not, some of the people on the list may have a practicum student or Provisional Psychologist whose work they are supervising that might have more immediate availability.

I also want to highlight the following listings:

• Healing in Colour, a Canada-wide therapist directory and resource centre that features BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) therapists who have agreed to the Healing in Colour Statement of Values, which includes being pro-queer, pro-trans, pro-sex worker, pro-Black, and anti-colonial. The full statement of values and everything else about them can be found on their website.
  
• Inclusive Therapists, a comprehensive, easy to use directory to find culturally responsive, LGBTQ affirming mental health care professionals near you in Canada and the US. They define themselves as a mental health justice movement that centers the needs of BIPOC and the LGBTQIA2S+ community, honours the full neurodiversity spectrum, and advocates for mental health care accessibility for people with disabilities. You can find more about their values and services on their website.
