Learn about Carly Colasimone

My name is Carly Colasimone and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist in Edmonton, Alberta. I completed my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University in 2020. I would describe myself as compassionate, open-minded, and non-judgmental. I work with adults who experience anxiety, depression, trauma, and a variety of other issues.

My approach to therapy is client-centered and collaborative, I believe that you are the expert in your own life, you are always in the driver's seat, and I might just pop in as GPS from time to time. Client-centered therapy is an approach to psychotherapy developed by Carl Rogers. It's based on the belief that individuals have within themselves the capacity for growth and self-understanding and that they are the best experts on their own experiences.

The therapist's role in client-centered therapy is to provide a supportive and empathetic environment where the client can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences without fear of judgment or criticism. You will notice me pulling from other therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive, Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused, Adlerian, and Psychoanalytic – this all depends on what your needs are.
