Angela Chan, R.Psych

Pronouns: She / Her
Ethnicity: Chinese

Having worked in both private practice and agency settings,  Angela has had the privilege of honing her strengths and passion for working with individuals who have experienced depression, anxiety, anger, addiction, abuse, family/relationship issues, and religious trauma. Her work also focuses on supporting self-identified people-pleasers who struggle with boundaries, burnout, and issues of self-worth. She provides practical and trauma-informed care to adults, couples, and youth (12+) in Alberta.

 

Angela views counselling as a collaborative process and her approach to change is relational and holistic. It encompasses physical, emotional, psychological, and spiritual aspects of well-being. She loves to ask questions to get clients to think more deeply about their values and situations. She also grasps the need for culturally-nuanced and realistic strategies that are tailored to her clients’ strengths and situations. In practice, she combines various forms of evidence-based treatments to adapt to the needs and goals of her clients. Angela is also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for trauma work and the Gottman Method approach for couples counselling.

 

Angela’s life experiences have shaped her into the counsellor that she is. Like all her clients, adversities have played a role in her story, but themes of healing, joy, connection, and radical self-compassion have also been fruits borne from these experiences. Therapy changed her life, and she is passionate about her call to empower clients reclaim their humanness, embrace mutuality in relationships, and take steps towards their own definition of a life worth living.
