Hi, I’m paige dean.
I’m passionate about making therapy more accessible, comfortable, and even enjoyable? Expect my sense of humour and sarcasm to play a role in sessions. I look to dispel a power dynamic, and work in collaboration with clients. I believe you are the expert!
My approach to therapy is rooted in building a safe, trusting, and honest therapeutic relationship with my clients. I’m very calm, patient, and easy going, but don’t let that fool you: I will call you out. I practice from a Feminist lens, and am 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming.
I integrate a combination of Person-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and the Gottman Method for individuals (teens and adults) and couples.
More about me
I have a Bachelor of Science majoring in Psychology from the University of Alberta and a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.
I am registered with the College of Alberta Psychologists and a member in good standing with the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta.
