About Laurie...
Laurie Trace (Hamer), Registered Psychologist |
There is no greater privilege than supporting people through the joys and pains of life. Truly. After over a decade as an educator I can state with certainty that knowledge and skills are only components of personal growth. Achieving one's full potential demands genuine connection and support from competent and caring guides that are centered and balanced themselves. With the goal of helping others in authentic and meaningful ways, I began my formal training in psychotherapy in 2008 and never looked back. Today, As a member of the College of Alberta Psychologists I strive to uphold the highest ethical standards. I am continually developing my professional capacities under the mentorship of leaders in the field of attachment, trauma and relationships. I have specialized training in attachment-focused EMDR (for PTSD and developmental or complex trauma), couples therapy, anger management, and mindfulness-based approaches to depression, anxiety, stress, including trauma-sensitive yoga. My clients include teens, adults, and senior citizens in the form of individual, couples, and family counselling as well as public and private instruction in yoga and/or mindfulness.

Typically, I employ one or more of the following evidence-based therapeutic models:
