Amy Koble
M.Ed. Registered Psychologist
I believe we all need support at some point in our lives and I am passionate about helping people with the difficult experiences they go through. I strive to assist my clients in a non-judgmental and friendly manner and aim to make your therapeutic experience a positive one that will produce the results you are looking for.
ABOUT ME
I am a registered psychologist currently practicing in Edmonton. I graduated from the University of Alberta with a Masters in Counselling Psychology in 2013. In my time as a psychologist, I have gained the knowledge and experience to work with children, teens, and adults with a variety of issues and have a developed a special interest in working with children and teens.
Individual Therapy for Children and Teens
​
Working with children and teens involves making therapy fun, engaging, relaxed, and developmentally appropriate. I have the training and experience to provide your child/teen with a positive and enjoyable therapeutic experience. I involve parents in therapy as much as possible as this produces better outcomes for the children. I can help with issues including but not limited to: emotional troubles, anxiety, depression, self harm/suicidal thoughts and behaviour, low self-esteem, school refusal, behavioral issues, anger, adoption, poor coping skills, body-image issues, sleep issues, abuse, and school issues .
​
Individual Therapy for Adults
​
Therapy can give you a safe place to explore what isn't working, restore balance, and increase your happiness. I can help with issues including but not limited too: stress, anxiety, depression, anger, emotional eating/overeating, body image issues, self-esteem, grief, coping skills, abuse, sleep issues, relationship issues, and trauma.

SERVICES
Individual Therapy for Parents
​
Parenting is among the hardest things a person can do in their lifetime. I am here to help navigate the difficult moments that come up with your parenting journey. I have special training in attachment-based methods and ample experience working with parents. Individual parenting support can help you learn how to manage your child or teen's difficult behavior, how to communicate with your child or teen so they will listen, how to improve the relationship, how to reduce emotional and behavioral issues, how to discipline effectively, and how to help your child or teen have better emotional regulation, better coping in times of stress, greater academic success, and more effective social interactions.
​
Family Therapy
​
Family therapy can provide a safe place for family members to improve communication and facilitate healing and healthy attachment.
AREAS OF EXPERTISE
Trauma
Experiencing extraordinarily stressful events can greatly impact a person's well being and leave a lasting negative effect. I have training in EMDR for both children, teens, and adults, which is an evidence-based treatment for trauma.
Anxiety and Depression
Anxiety (worry, overthinking, easily overwhelmed) and Depression (low mood, irritable, lack of motivation) can be very difficult to live with and are very treatable. I am trained in multiple methods to address anxiety and depression concerns and have a great deal of experience in this area.
Emotional Dysregulation
Having big reactions, feeling things very intensely, and getting easily overwhelmed can be very distressing. I am familiar with many techniques that can help calm the storm of your emotions so you can sail on smooth seas again.
Attachment
Attachment in the emotional bond we have with another person. It is important for children to develop a secure attachment with one primary caregiver in their early years for optimal social and emotional development. If you did not have a secure attachment, or lost a secure attachment, it can effect your life in many ways including difficulties in your current relationships or parenting difficulties. I can help you develop secure healthy attachments with the significant people in your life now.
Children and Adolescents
I became a psychologist because I was passionate about working with children and teens. I have specialized training and experience working with those in this age group.
MY APPROACH
I strive to make my clients feel comfortable, heard, and respected. I have a warm and friendly approach and like to use humor whenever I can. I have training in the following models of therapy. I will work with you to determine what method or methods will be the best fit for you and your particular issue.
