      <image:title>About - Meet Carolina!! Owner, Registered Psychologist &amp; Certified Play Therapy Supervisor (Alberta and British Columbia)</image:title>
      <image:caption>I didn't arrive at this work through a textbook. I started as a Behavioural Therapist, working directly alongside BCBA-certified analysts with children on the Autism Spectrum — hands on, in the room, watching how these children moved through the world. That foundation never left me. Over more than 20 years across British Columbia and Alberta — in schools, in children's mental health clinics with Alberta Health Services, and in private practice — I keep returning to the same families: children, teens, and adults whose profiles are complex, whose needs don't fit neatly into a single diagnosis, and who have often spent years looking for someone who sees the whole picture. My work has two halves that strengthen each other. As an assessor, I look beyond test scores to understand the whole child/adult — how they learn, regulate emotions, connect with others, and experience the world — with particular depth in ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, giftedness, and twice-exceptional profiles. As a therapist, I offer evidence-based, trauma-informed care, trained in CBT, DBT, EMDR, and play therapy, working with children, teens, and adults. At Creative Minds, assessment and therapy live under one roof — so a family's findings never sit in a report on a shelf. They become part of a coordinated plan, carried forward by a team I personally supervise. Registered Psychologist, BC (#1015280) &amp; Alberta (#5032) · Certified Play Therapy Supervisor (CPTS-AB/BC-1354) Learn more by checking out Carolina’s credential.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet Our BC Team! - MEET SARAH</image:title>
      <image:caption>ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT/INTAKE SPECIALIST I know that reaching out for help is often the hardest part — that's why I make sure the first voice you hear at Creative Minds is a warm one. I grew up in the Tri-Cities and completed my Bachelor of Science in Psychology at UBC Okanagan, with experience in behavioural intervention, cognitive assessment, and mental health support, plus research in autism and cognitive psychology. I'm working toward my long-term goal of becoming a psychologist — and until then, there's nothing I love more than helping families find their footing and connecting them with the right care. When you book a free 15-minute consultation with me, we'll talk through what's going on and figure out your best next step together. No pressure, no jargon — just a real conversation. Outside the clinic, you'll find me reading, walking my dog, or spending time with friends and family.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet Our BC Team! - MEET CHRISTINE</image:title>
      <image:caption>Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) After more than ten years of sitting with people in their hardest moments, I've learned that lasting change doesn't come from having all the answers — it comes from having a safe space to find your own. I work with children, teens, adults, and families, and my approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centred: you set the direction, and I walk alongside you with practical tools and honest support. I'm trained in CBT, DBT, ACT, and parts work, and I tailor every plan to the person in front of me — including neurodivergent clients, for whom I adapt my approach rather than asking them to adapt to therapy. I believe therapy is a place to deepen self-awareness, honour every part of who you are, and build the skills to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet Our BC Team! - MEET BRIE</image:title>
      <image:caption>Registered Social Worker (MSW) Children don't always have the words for what they're carrying. But give them a sand tray, some paint, or a room where it feels safe to play — and they'll show you. I'm passionate about helping children, teens, and young adults build resilience, process difficult experiences, and develop healthy coping skills. I work a lot with trauma, anxiety, neurodivergent kids (autism and ADHD), developmental disabilities, FASD, and foster, adoptive, and kinship families — including youth in government care. My main tools are Child-Centered Play Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, and CBT, always adapted to your child's developmental stage. I studied psychology at Princeton, social practice at Trinity College Dublin, and earned my Master of Social Work at UBC Okanagan, with advanced training through the Canadian Association for Play Therapy. I practise under the supervision of a Certified Play Therapy Supervisor.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet Our Alberta Team - MEET SHELLY!</image:title>
      <image:caption>Administrative Assistant Hi, I'm Shelly — the friendly voice behind the scenes at our Medicine Hat office. I look after intake and billing, so I'm usually your first point of contact and the person who keeps the practical side of things running smoothly. I grew up in a small farming community in Saskatchewan and made Medicine Hat my home after graduation. After many years with a local business, I was ready for something more purposeful — and joining Creative Minds has been such a rewarding change. I love being part of this wonderful team and helping make every family's experience here feel easy and welcoming. Whether you're booking your first appointment, sorting out billing or insurance, or just have a question, I'm here to help make it simple and stress-free. In my spare time, you'll find me spending time with my family, reading, or out for a walk.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet Our Alberta Team - MEET MICHELLE!</image:title>
      <image:caption>REGISTERED PSYCHOLOGIST I traded the Atlantic coast for the sunshine of Medicine Hat — and I've never looked back. I'm a Registered Psychologist, and I support children, teens, and adults in building the skills and confidence to work through life's challenges. A big part of my practice is with neurodiverse kids and teens — ADHD, autism, and developmental differences — as well as anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional regulation, and self-esteem. My approach is compassionate and evidence-based, tailored to each client: CBT, EMDR for trauma, and strengths-based, client-centred care, with developmentally appropriate ways of working with children and teens — and parents are part of the team whenever it’s helpful! I earned my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Sociology from the University of New Brunswick and my Master of Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. Outside of work, I'm usually with my family, travelling, walking my dog, or watching movies.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet Our Alberta Team - MEET MARILYN!</image:title>
      <image:caption>REGISTERED SOCIAL WORKER I've sat with people from age 5 to 93 — as a Justice of the Peace, a Public Complaints Director, a crisis therapist in community mental health, and now as a Registered Social Worker. If those rooms taught me anything, it's that it's never too early or too late to get support, and no one is beyond help. I work with children, teens, and adults using CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and I'm completing my training in EMDR for trauma. My path here was unconventional, and I think that's a strength: I bring a steady, grounded perspective shaped by years in crisis and community work. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work with Honours and my Master's in Clinical Social Work from the University of Calgary, and I'm eligible to provide Restricted Psychosocial Interventions through the Alberta College of Social Workers. After running my own practice, I'm glad to now be consulting with the Creative Minds team.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet Our Alberta Team - MEET SKY! FAMILY COACH</image:title>
      <image:caption>I've spent my career in the places people land when life gets hardest — shelters, recovery groups, schools, and community programs — walking alongside youth, adults, and families facing ADHD, autism, behavioural challenges, addiction, and complex mental health concerns. I have ADHD myself, so this work isn't just clinical for me — it's personal. I know what it's like to have a brain that works differently in a world that wasn't built for it, and I bring that understanding into every coaching relationship. I'm a Family Coach with a Bachelor of Health Science majoring in Addictions Counselling. My background spans schools, autism and developmental disability support, addiction recovery, shelters, and youth and families with complex needs. I work from a person-centred foundation, using CBT and emotion-focused approaches tailored to each person. Whether we're meeting in the community or at the clinic, my goal is the same: practical support that meets you where you are and helps your whole family move forward.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Meet Our Alberta Team - MEET RACHEL!</image:title>
      <image:caption>REGISTERED SOCIAL WORKER I started my career helping bodies heal — I worked with people recovering from motor vehicle accidents and workplace injuries. But I kept meeting people whose injuries you couldn't see, and I knew there was a piece missing. So I went back to school for my Master of Social Work, and I've never questioned the decision since. I take a whole-person approach: family, peers, school, work, hobbies — all the pieces that make a person — because that's how we build real rapport and set goals that actually fit your life. I believe everyone deserves a team that helps them remember their strengths, and I'd be honoured to be part of yours. I completed my MSW in Kelowna, BC before moving to Medicine Hat — where my husband and I, along with our dog Bo, couldn't imagine living anywhere else. When I'm not at the clinic, I'm coaching with the local speed skating club, skiing, or camping with friends and family.</image:caption>
