Therapist Identity: BIPOC

Oscar Izquierdo

I am a certified Narrative Therapist, and I work with individuals who are navigating grief and loss, anxiety and stress, trauma, divorce, relationship difficulties, ADHD, shame, identity concerns, and major life transitions. I provide affordable, in-person counselling in Edmonton and online counselling throughout Alberta. I provide therapy in English and Spanish. I strive to create a space where you can feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. I’m in the final year of my Masters of Counselling Psychology program at CityU, currently practicing under the supervision of a Registered Psychotherapist, Katherine Dunford (#6727).

I believe that the stories we develop about ourselves and our experiences can have a powerful influence on how we understand our lives. I see counselling as a collaborative process where we can explore these stories, including the ways that problems, relationships, culture, and life experiences have shaped them.

If you’re considering counselling, I offer a free 15-minute consultation so that we can get to know each other and see whether I might be a good fit for you.

Leo Garcia Pimentel Carral

You may be 2SLGBTQ+, neurodivergent, or seeking a therapist for trauma, or anger, you may be wondering about safety, wondering who can hold the most hurt parts of you, and allow them to be seen and heard without collapsing your world. You may even wonder if you’ll be judged for how you’ve survived. I understand the hesitation, as Transgender, Mexican, Neurodivergent, Fat therapist, I know how alert people in marginalized communities need to be. I can promise you one thing, and that is that we will go at the pace where safety meets change towards what matters to you.

Shamalla James

Hi, I’m Shamalla, a Registered Social Worker and the founder of In-Between Therapy. I provide virtual psychotherapy to adults across Ontario who are navigating religious or spiritual harm, religious trauma, faith transitions, deconstruction, or the impacts of high-control religious environments.

These experiences can affect much more than a person’s beliefs. They may also bring grief, anxiety, depression,  loss of community, or uncertainty about identity and belonging. You may still hold religious or spiritual beliefs, feel unsure about what you believe, or no longer identify with religion at all. You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning therapy.

My approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and grounded in religious neutrality. This means I will not promote a particular religion, spirituality, or lack of belief. Instead, therapy offers a non-judgmental space to explore your experiences, understand how they continue to affect you, and move toward a life that feels more authentic and aligned with your own values.

I draw from trauma-focused cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive processing therapy and narrative therapy approaches. Above all, I want you to feel heard, respected, and in control of your therapeutic journey. Reduced cost and sliding scale sessions are available.  Appointments are currently available virtually on Tuesdays 9-6pm and Saturdays 9-3 with some additional weekday evening availability depending on availability.
