 Hello, Oki, Taanshi! My name is Alannah and I am a registered provisional psychologist being supervised by Erin Musick, one of the owners of LCS.

 Hello, Oki, Taanshi! My name is Alannah and I am a registered provisional psychologist being supervised by Erin Musick, one of the owners of LCS. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked for over a decade with children, teens, and families in Saskatchewan, Maryland, and Alberta - helping them navigate some of life's most difficult challenges. 


My specialties include increasing parents' confidence and enjoyment in parenting, connecting with at-risk or hard-to-reach youth, guiding families through grief, divorce/separation, and serious illness, and navigating ADHD diagnoses in childhood or adulthood. I am dedicated to providing a safe therapeutic space for youth and adults who are gender-diverse or exploring their gender identities. Clients often describe their experience with me as informal and relaxed, impactful, and genuine. Perfection is never the goal. We work together to create strategies to move you in the direction you wish to go at your own pace.


My approach to therapy is person-centered, meaning I strive to create a therapeutic environment that feels safe, open, and non-judgmental with YOU as the expert in your own life. I incorporate interventions from Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy, and Somatic Therapies to create a treatment plan that fits you as an individual. With children and youth, play and artistic expression are key tools I use in exploring their strengths and building skills to improve their emotional health. Parents are treated as integral partners in their children's therapy, creating meaningful change that lasts. 


Outside of work, I treasure precious time spent with my husband, two young sons, and my 16-year-old dog, Ellamenno. On the weekends I'm often either camping, hiking, bird watching, or (if the weather isn't cooperating) baking/cooking with my family. I LOVE metal music, so if you see me headbanging in my car on the way to the office, be sure to wave hello!


I am accepting new clients as of June 1st, and will offer new appointment times as my client list grows.

I have facilitated numerous groups on topics such as domestic violence, disordered eating, OCD, general support, and DBT skills. I also can train individuals in Mental Health First Aid (virtual/in person).


The main approaches I draw from in my practice are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, body-centered therapies, EMDR, Mindfulness, relational-based and psychodynamic based approaches. 

I also have a special interest in supervising masters level interns and provisional psychologists. I have many years of experience in supervising students at the University of Lethbridge.

Oki. Hello. My name is Cora McDougall-Price. My Blackfoot name is Naatoa’tohkai.
I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor. My academic credentials include a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology (Honours) from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 2009 and Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of Lethbridge in 2011.

Over the past 10 years, I have worked and volunteered in a variety of settings: therapeutic schools (Calgary and Lethbridge), non-for-profit and private counselling agencies. For several years, I was employed by the Lethbridge emergency women’s shelter, providing services to children, teenagers and families who were escaping violence and or/ poverty. I have worked extensively with clients who have experienced developmental trauma including issues related to abuse, family and sexual violence, addiction, parenting-in-crisis, child development and safety. I am especially passionate about Indigenous culture and integrating both traditional and non-traditional ways of healing.
Overall, my counselling approach can be described as strengths-based, person-centered and trauma-informed. My practice is also influenced by Attachment Theory and Bruce Perry’s Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics. I integrate strategies from therapies such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play and Expressive Arts and EMDR to assist my clients in achieving growth and positive change.
In my spare time I am kept (very!) busy with my three young sons, husband and dog, Sadie. We love to sing, swim and spend time together in nature exploring and adventuring.
I will be offering appointments on Monday and Thursday evenings and Friday afternoons. The majority of my appointments will be for children/adolescents and limited appointments for adult clients.

Hello and welcome! My name is Donna and I am a Master’s level registered Social Worker. I have a variety of interests such as camping, kayaking, gardening, reading, meditating, crafting, and hanging out with my family.  

I strive to establish authentic relationships by being transparent, sincere, and reliable. I respect people’s own wisdom, knowledge, and experience and believe that each one of us has innate strengths and abilities and the capacity for change. Using an integrative, trauma informed counselling approach, I believe we can work together to honor where you are at, set goals to help you make the changes that you desire, and celebrate the smallest of successes along the way. 

I have the privilege to work with teenagers and adults who are experiencing challenges in the areas of trauma, anxiety, depression, loss and grief, life transitions, relationship stressors, identity, self-confidence, adoption, crisis situations, and social and structural barriers.  As a parent of children with Type 1 Diabetes and ADHD, I understand and empathize with the challenges and rewards of parenting a child with a chronic condition and welcome supporting people in this area. I offer afternoon and evening appointments on Wednesdays and daytime appointments on Thursdays. If being outdoors speaks to you more than sitting in an office for therapy sessions, we can talk about incorporating outdoor “Walk and Talk” therapy sessions as well!

Hello, I am Eva, and I am pleased to introduce myself to you.  I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. I have participated in the field of mental health as a family member and advocate the majority of my adult life. I received both my Bachelors in Psychology (with distinction) and my Master in Counselling (applied psychology) from the University of Lethbridge. I have worked as a music educator, volunteered in schools and community programs, supported individuals experiencing the consequences of domestic violence and most recently as a counsellor with Crossroads Counselling working with individuals, couples and families.

The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen.  Just listen.  Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention...a loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words.” - Rachel Naomi Remen

I strive for this connection with clients in my work and draw from counselling styles including, but not limited to CBT, ACT, EFT, TA, expressive arts, resource tapping and sensorimotor processing. I am continually adding to my training to increase my effectiveness in working with, individuals (12 +), couples, families, and groups. I am currently training in AF-EMDR with the Parnell Institute and Janina Fischer’s Clinical Trauma Professional Training. My interests include adult ADHD, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction recovery, family distress, marital conflict, relationship and identity issues and faith crises.

When not at work you can find me enjoying my family, gardening, hiking, photography, reading, music and motorcycling with my husband.

Hello, my name is Jennifer Ellis-Toddington and I am a Registered Psychologist. I have a Master of Counselling degree with a specialization in Counselling Psychology. I have been working in the mental health field since 2001. As a Psychologist, I always strive to understand, empower, and facilitate self-awareness and self-compassion in the people that I am honoured to work with!  I have always had a passion for connecting with people and hearing their stories. I have a B.Sc. in Biological Science and research but left the hard sciences to pursue my passion and work with people.

I have 20 years of experience counselling post-secondary students at the University of Lethbridge. I love working with young adults as it is a time of enormous growth and change. I have extensive experience in treating anxiety, depression, grief and loss, trauma, relationship issues, and sexual violence. I began my counselling journey doing community work including working at the YWCA Harbour House, CMHA, and volunteering for a crisis line.

My intention is to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgemental space for clients to learn about themselves and create positive change. I believe my clients would describe me as authentic, warm, invested in their growth, and able to see their strengths. I find counselling very rewarding work and I especially love being able to witness people grow and believe in themselves as a result of the counselling relationship.

I integrate many theoretical approaches in my practice, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, Emotional Focused Therapy, and client-centered relational approaches. I have specialized training and experience in treating obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and PANS/PANDAS, as well as couples counselling (Gottman Certification). I find working with individuals experiencing life transitions to be very rewarding, including end of life support, and general grief and loss.

A bit about me on a personal note…I love animals and I have 3 dogs, a gecko and a snake. I am passionate about physical fitness, especially running, hiking and skiing. I enjoy spending time with my family and friends and I have an identical twin sister.

Hello, my name is Karla Conte. I have a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, a Master of Science in Neuroscience and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist being supervised by Carly Sharpe. 

With 20 years in the mental health field and two Master’s degrees, I bring a unique perspective to my work as a Provisional Psychologist. My education and research background allows me to integrate evidence-based practices with a strong understanding of the neurobiological aspects of mental health. I use a person-centered, psychoeducational and eclectic theoretical approach to counselling that fosters healing uniquely tailored to the needs of the individual.  I create a welcoming environment for all my clients and foster an atmosphere where they feel safe and supported in exploring their concerns.

I work with adults and my areas of interest include depression, ADHD, anxiety, geriatrics, grief, trauma, narcissistic abuse, familial concerns and stress management.

My perfect day would include coffee, learning, music, still waters and spending time with my husband and 4 beautiful children. As a Provisional Psychologist I believe in the body and mind’s innate ability to heal and renew. Currently I am offering appointments on weekday evenings.

Hi! I’m Kelsey Ronne and I’m a Registered Provisional Psychologist (being supervised by Erin Musick) who is dedicated to helping people feel empowered in their experience of life, and to learn how to trust and integrate their innate wisdom.


With the professional work aside, I am first and foremost a human who has experienced complex trauma, anxiety, and chronic health challenges. As a therapist and space-holder, I come with empathy for and understanding of what it’s like to feel stuck, in pain, and living in a cycle that can’t seem to be escaped. In the midst of my own journey, I have learned about the importance of connection, safety and learning the language of my body, instead of trying to solve or fix what isn’t broken. It is my belief that wherever you are on your path: you make sense.


My work is rooted in curiosity, compassion and exploration - my intention is to create a safe space for my clients to realize they are already growing in the right direction (because that’s life!), while feeling supported and guided in the ways that best meet their needs and challenges. 


​I combine my experience, intuition, heart, science and evidence-based therapy/treatment methods in our time together to ensure you are seen for all the parts of you that make you, not just your symptoms. I believe that healing happens when we are met exactly where we are, in spaces where we are seen, heard and supported. I am happy to be offering appointments, three days a week, daytime and evenings.

Hi! My name is Lindsay Hoffner. I am a Registered Psychologist with a B.Sc. in Psychology and a M.C. in Counselling Psychology. I have worked in the mental health field since 2007. 


Life can be challenging. Counselling can be a place to navigate those challenges. Together, you and I will build a space where you can explore your experiences and learn skills and strategies to navigate them in a healthy and productive way.


My areas of interest include trauma, emotional regulation, grief and loss, anxiety and depression, and sexuality (challenges around sexual desire and function including low sexual desire/drive, erectile dysfunction, pain during sex, and sexual confidence, as well as exploring sexual lifestyles). I am kink, poly and LGBTQIAS2S+ friendly and affirming.


I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioural therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and EMDR. Additionally, I have completed Level 2 Training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy.


As a psychologist I believe in empowering you to be the best version of yourself, however you define that. I strive to create a space free of judgement, that allows for growth and exploration. I feel honoured to do the work that I do with my clients.  


I currently offer daytime appointments Monday through Friday.

I hold a Master of Counselling degree from Gonzaga University and a Bachelor of Arts degree in psychology from the University of Lethbridge. I am thrilled to be a member of the LCS team, offering my services during daytime hours Tuesday to Thursday.


My aim as a counsellor is to journey together through life’s challenges, ensuring you, the client, feels seen, heard, and understood while creating a collaborative partnership grounded in safety, secure connection, and mutual respect. I consider it an honour and a privilege to be trusted with the most intimate details of your story. By providing support, encouraging self-exploration, identifying goals and harnessing strengths, you can heal, overcome obstacles, align with your values and move closer to living the life you desire.


My areas of interest include working with individual adults experiencing difficulties related to perinatal mental health, fertility, grief and loss, trauma, identity, self-compassion, anxiety, depression, parenthood, relationship dynamics, emotional regulation, stress management, burnout, and life transitions. 


I come with an understanding that everyone has a unique set of experiences and is the expert in their own lives. Thus, I utilize a person-centered, strength-based, integrated approach, tailoring each session to individual needs. I may draw from a variety of theories including Attachment Theory, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Systems Theories, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and Mindfulness.


When not working, you can find me spending time with my family, often cheering on my two kids at their endless extracurricular activities. I enjoy being in the outdoors, especially during the warmer months, camping, hiking, and long walks with my dog, Lux. I love animals, trying new things, travel, photography, music, great food, hot coffee, and good company.

My areas of clinical interest include addressing trauma, anger and emotional regulation, family and sexual violence, attachment issues, life transitions, mental health issues (anxiety, depression, phobias, personality disorders), and identity issues.
Overall, I would say my approach could be best described as strengths-based, person-centered, and trauma informed. I integrate strategies from Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solutions Focused Therapy (SFT), systems theories, and motivational interviewing to help clients clarify issues and move towards positive change.
I work primarily with adults but also enjoy working with adolescents.
In my spare time I enjoy dancing in the kitchen, watching documentaries, connecting with friends, and spending time with my partner and son.
I offer appointments 4 days per week, daytime with some evening availability.
