Youth Counselling

For Youth Ages 10 – 17

Practicum student Emily Boehmer is completing her final year of the Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology program at Yorkville University, and prior to this obtained her Bachelor of Arts and Science degree at the University of Lethbridge with a double major in Fine Art and Psychology. Additionally, Emily has experience in crisis work through volunteering at the Edmonton Distress Line, and is an active volunteer at CASA Child, Adolescent, and Family Mental Health.

Emily has been both a witness and a target of bullying in a school and workplace setting and is interested in working with youth (ages 10-17) who are being bullied and who may be struggling with challenges related to low self-esteem, depression, and/or anxiety. While working from a trauma-informed and person-centered perspective, Emily strives to create a warm and inviting space for clients of all backgrounds to share their stories, and primarily uses interventions from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness to support her clients.

Emily is offering one-on-one counselling for youth who are:

  • being bullied at school
  • facing challenges in their workplace environment
  • struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-doubt, or just going through a hard time.

Counselling is on a sliding scale, and is confidential, non-judgmental, and will provide a safe space to talk through any struggles.
