Edmonton mental health community, this is important! ๐Ÿšจโค๏ธ

This past Friday at our AGM, we had the privilege of hosting Patrick Black, LPN, Assistant Manager and Overdose Prevention Team Supervisor with Streetworks, Boyle Street Community Services.

He delivered a powerful, evidence informed presentation on the opioid crisis in Edmonton.

Clear data. Local impact. Real stories. Real risk. ๐Ÿ†˜๏ธ

Then we trained.
Hands on Naloxone administration.
Step by step overdose response.
What to look for.
What to do.
How to stay calm and act fast. โœ…๏ธ

As clinicians, our responsibility is not limited to the therapy room.

We assess su***de risk.
We create safety plans.
We manage crisis.
We intervene when there is imminent harm.
Opioid toxicity is no different!

Harm reduction is ethical practice.
It aligns with minimizing risk.
It aligns with protecting life.
It aligns with supporting every client who walks through our doors. ๐Ÿ’ฏ

You do not have to specialize in addictions to encounter substance use whether its prescribed opioids or illicit drugs.

An older adult can misdose prescribed pain medication.
A client in recovery can relapse.
A high functioning professional can quietly struggle.
A first time user can experience drug poisoning.

If it happens in your office, would you know what to do?

Naloxone training is straightforward.
It builds confidence.
It reduces hesitation.
It can save a life. โค๏ธ

FREE Naloxone kits are available at most pharmacies across Edmonton!

Patrick also provides NO COST training to clinics and organizations. ๐Ÿ™

There is no barrier. Only a decision.
Lean into harm reduction.
Model leadership in our field.
Normalize being prepared.
Protect your clients. ๐Ÿซถ

Karen, your kindness, determination, and dedication to your team and your clients inspire us every day. ๐Ÿฅฐ

You have created a clinic where everyone is accepted for who they are, a place where compassion leads, healing happens, and authenticity is valued. You have built a safe place where people feel seen, heard, and supported.

Thank you for leading with empathy. Thank you for believing in your people. Thank you for showing us what it means to do this work with both skill and heart. ๐Ÿซถ

๐Ÿงง๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŽ Happy Lunar New Year from All of Us at Authentic You: Counselling, Assessment & Addictions Services Inc. ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿงง

We welcome the Year of the Fire Horse with deep respect and hope. The Fire Horse symbolizes strength, courage, independence, and forward movement. These are the same qualities we see every day in our clients who choose to begin counselling and face themselves, leaning into their authenticity and bravery! ๐ŸŽ†

This Lunar New Year holds special meaning within our team. Our psychologist, Clara Lee, proudly honours her Chinese heritage and the cultural traditions that shape identity, family, and belonging. Clara is bilingual in English and Cantonese and offers culturally responsive counselling grounded in genuine respect for lived experience. She is passionate about supporting BIPOC clients, newcomers, and individuals navigating cultural expectations, intergenerational dynamics, trauma, identity, and belonging. ๐Ÿ™

Canadaโ€™s multiculturalism is one of our greatest strengths! At Authentic You, we recognize that culture shapes how you experience emotion, relationships, family roles, and healing. You deserve counselling where every part of your identity is seen, respected, and understood. ๐Ÿ’ฏ

As we enter this new lunar year, we wish you and your loved ones:
โœจ renewed strength
โœจ meaningful connection
โœจ emotional healing
โœจ courage to move forward
โœจ and peace within yourself

Clara Lee and Zach Scivoletto currently have limited availability remaining for counselling sessions in February! โ„๏ธ

Both offer free 15-minute phone or video consultations so you can connect, ask questions, and ensure their the right fit.

๐Ÿ’” On the real... our hearts are broken and our thoughts are with all the families this morning of the 10 lives lost and 27 injured due to the mass shooting in Tumbler Ridge, B.C. and one of Canada's deadliest gun attacks in our history ๐Ÿฅ€

None of this is cute... ๐Ÿฅบ

Some of you are carrying pain that started long before you were born.

Trauma does not ask for consent! It is not a choice ๐Ÿ’ฏ

It imprints. It adapts. It puts you in a constant state of survival.

Then one day, you are the one expected to heal it to release it... and you know what, its not f*cking fair! ๐Ÿ’”

Intergenerational trauma is heavy and it is exhausting to be the โ€œcycle breaker.โ€

You grieve what you did not get. You feel anger for what should not have happened. You carry responsibility that was never yours to carry.

Counselling here does not soften that truth. ๐Ÿซถ

Our psychologists do trauma work that honours how hard it is!

We will sit with you in counselling through the rage. The resentment. The fatigue. We provide formal assessments that validate real impact.
We offer specialized addictions services without shame or blame. ๐Ÿ™

Teens, adults and older adults. In person in Edmonton. Virtual across Alberta.

If you are tired of carrying what was never yours, you are valid! We know this work is not easy. It takes real bravery to lean in to your healing journey! And we hope it is worth the sacrifice โœจ๏ธ

๐ŸŽ“ Grad school does not actively promote building real relationships or genuine closeness with clients.

๐Ÿ‘” The corporate world often discourages it with your staff.

Connection is not unprofessional. And can actually be therapeutic! ๐Ÿฅฐโœจ

๐ŸŽถ That's the way WE like it at Authentic You!

What rarely gets said out loud, counselling includes deeply relational and connective work.

People do not heal because of therapeutic language, worksheets, or modality protocols. They heal because their nervous system experiences safety with another human.

Research consistently shows the therapeutic alliance is one of the strongest predictors of therapeutic outcomes across all counselling approaches and modalities!

Boundaries matter. Ethics matter.
The power differential matters. ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Professional distance is NOT what creates safety. Attunement does. ๐Ÿซถ

For Our Clients & Staff...

You can be professional and warm.

You can be ethical and emotionally present.

You can care deeply without crossing lines.

At Authentic You, therapy is relational by design. Real. Steady. Human. Authentic. ๐Ÿฆ‹๐ŸŒˆ

We practice from a trauma informed, relational lens. We value transparency, trust, and genuine care. With our clients and with each other. ๐Ÿ™

If you are looking to book counselling or for client referrals our psychologists are here and accepting new clients!

If you are a provisional psychologist or registered psychologist who believes therapeutic success, and a healthy workplace happens in relationships, we are hiring. ๐Ÿค

Therapist Friday Funny ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜…

If grounding skills are not grounding lately, keep reading... ๐Ÿ‘€

If the sensory 5 4 3 2 1 grounding technique is just not cutting it, see above the suggested and updated 2026 version ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ๐Ÿ”ฅ

A client shared this with us. It fits because it is likely a version of what we actually all need right now!

By Friday, your nervous system is carrying the cumulative load. Regulation is not only calm. It can be a safe discharge of rage, grief, anxiety, and overall heaviness.

๐ŸŒŸ Authentic You Invites You to Name:

โ€ข 5 things you are done tolerating this week ๐Ÿ˜ค
โ€ข 4 boundaries you ignored to keep functioning ๐Ÿ™ƒ
โ€ข 3 systems that leave you depleted ๐Ÿซ 
โ€ข 2 expectations you are putting down for the weekend โœ‹
โ€ข 1 thing you are letting go of before Monday ๐Ÿ˜Œ

Rage, grief and anxiety carries important information but is a heavy load. Letting go of these supports regulation!

๐Ÿ’ It is LOVE Month!!! ๐Ÿ’˜

Love is not limited to romance. And it does not live in clean categories!

It exists in genuine friendships. In work relationships that become deeply connected. In clients trusting us with their stories. In teams where care, responsibility, and closeness overlap ๐Ÿค

There is no sharp line between personal and professional. These are humans relating with intention, ethics, and genuine heart ๐Ÿซ‚

For clients, this feels like safety. For clinic owners and clinicians, it feels like holding a lot and doing it together with lots of support ๐Ÿ’ฏ

This is the kind of love that sustains people. And this is the culture that Authentic You stands for!

If you are a psychologist who wants to be part of a team who leans into care and connection with each other and our clients, then reach out to us as we are hiring and want to hear from you! ๐Ÿ‘‹

๐Ÿคญ๐Ÿ’– Happy Monday... Here is Funny to Start Off Your Love Month โค๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐ

For some people, this month feels warm and fuzzy. For others, it brings heaviness, including grief, longing, breakups, distance, or complicated memories.

Some people cope by talking. Some by crying. Some by laughing and joking through the pain ๐Ÿ’Œ๐Ÿ˜…

Humour can be part of our self care and a way to connect with others. It can also be an effective way to stay present without being overwhelmed.

If you see yourself in that, it makes total sense. Your way of coping counts and it can be found in the therapy room too ๐Ÿ’ž

We see our clients show love every day. To themselves. To their healing journey. To showing up, even on their hardest days!

If you are thinking of starting counselling and are unsure where to start, we have some amazing psychologists accepting new clients, with openings in February 2026! Don't wait, reach out to us today ๐Ÿซถ
