Change and growth occurs constantly throughout our life span. Consequently, I work with clients to recognize positive changes, build resilience, and explore their inner strength. I strive to provide clients with a trusting, caring, understanding and supportive environment, which allow clients to explore their healing journey.
I am a Registered Psychologist who is passionate about the work I do. I was born in Jamaica and migrated to Lethbridge, Alberta for university. I completed my bachelor’s degree from University of Lethbridge and my master’s degree from Gonzaga University. I use various therapeutic modalities to support the work I do with clients such as Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, Gottman Couples Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Narrative Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy.
I believe strongly in the importance of fit between a counsellor and client. As such, I provide free 15 mins consultation to discuss need and explore fit. I will work closely with you, ensuring you feel heard and help you to explore your full potential to achieve well being.
Hello, my name is Dotun, which translates to “renew” or “become new” in Yoruba language, I feel this also reflects my commitment to helping clients renew their perspectives and use practical solutions that can be easily sustained, regardless of their lifestyles.. I am a Registered Psychologist in Alberta; I have training and experience to provide support in counselling and rehabilitation psychology. I support individuals, couples, children, and youth in diverse areas including discrimination, parenting, bullying/harassment (workplace and school), stress / burnout management, emotional regulation, and self–concept. I also offer psychological assessments to support awareness of natural learning tendencies, personality, behavior’s, and psychological functioning. I provide support using different modalities including solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy. I enjoy collaborating in ways that encourage the planning and execution of desired changes despite the current challenges and complexities. Self-authoring can be a rewarding process when time is spent in self-exploration to increase self-awareness, personal strengths, capacity, and flexibility. Concepts such as self–efficacy, mindfulness, unconditional respect, and dignity are important parts of co-creating the changes that you want to construct in your life story.
To balance life and work, I intentionally practice self-care by spending time with friends, family, eating good food (Jollof Rice for sure!); taking walks, travelling, and volunteering. I look forward to supporting you in rearranging your story by taking care of your greatest asset; your mind.
