I am a Registered Psychologist who provides individual counselling to adults, in the areas of work-life stress, trauma, difficulties managing emotions and troubling thoughts, body concerns, identity, relationship problems, communication difficulties, guilt-shame, grief, and perfectionism. In 2020, I earned a Master of Education degree in the Counselling Psychology program at the University of Alberta. I am presently a Ph.D. candidate in the accredited Counselling Psychology program at the University of Alberta, and I’m completing a portion of my residency at Mindspring under the supervision of Dr. Jake Tremblay, R. Psych.  Before becoming a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists, I worked as a teacher with Edmonton Public Schools, and with the City of Edmonton as a lifeguard. I was born and raised in Edmonton.

I have provided individual counselling at the Cross Cancer Institute Westmount, Clinical Services at the University of Alberta, and at a community mental health clinic.  In counselling sessions, I start with a person-centered approach, which involves collaboration, goal setting, empathic understanding, and attention to process and the therapeutic relationship. Depending on your goals and views, I apply an emotion-focused approach to counselling sessions which can include exploration and integration of your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, physical responses, and meanings associated with yourself, an event, people, or an important topic in your life. Alternatively, I use an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) approach to counselling which helps develop psychological flexibility, understanding of values, commitment to action, mindfulness, and acceptance-reconciliation of experiences. When fitting, I incorporate hope research and interventions that are trauma- and multicultural-informed.

Feel free to contact me via email (sdurantepsychology@gmail.com) or our clinic. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to determine if we are a good fit to address your goals and concerns if desired, or you can book an appointment now.

I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. I graduated with a Master of Counselling Psychology in Singapore in 2010, and a Doctor of Clinical Psychology in Vancouver in 2019. I am currently practicing in public healthcare in addition to maintaining a small private practice.

I work with adults and mature minors to increase their agency in managing emotions, thoughts, urges and other bodily sensations. I believe that our bodies respond to internal and external stressors in ways that have been developed over time. Hence, part of our work together is to make sense of your story and how your body has adapted for survival.

People frequently see me for issues related to identity (e.g., exploration, LGBTQIA+, minority intersectional identities), mood-related disturbances (e.g., depression, anxiety, emotional dysregulation), troubling thoughts (e.g., obsessions, compulsions, “sticky thoughts”), trauma-related responses (e.g., PTSD, complex trauma, attachment injuries, complex grief, dissociation), and coping with life events/stressors (e.g., milestone transitions, stress management).

I work from a collaborative and integrative model. I use a neurobiological framework to understand how each person responds uniquely to threat. Depending on what works for you, I primarily utilize strategies from Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Cognitive Behavioural/Processing Therapy (CBT/CPT) in my practice.

I provide a lot of psychoeducation and have a conversation with my clients to jointly determine what approach (or combination of approaches) makes the most sense.
