💔😢 The early days of pet loss can look like this... 🐕🐾🐈‍⬛

• Packing up their things, slowly, not all at once, or not for a long time; and leaving it out incase their spirit is still here
• Empty spots all around the house where they used to sit, lay and play
• Family and friends showing up with flowers, love, and support, trying to help in your time of need
• Picking up their paw prints and hair to hold onto; the only physical proof left they ever existed left

It is hauntingly quiet and blaring loud all at the same time 😭

You keep moving through your day. And it is there in almost every moment. Especially when you are alone... 🌧

If you need support for grief and loss, our psychologists are here for you and accepting new counselling clients.

Grief is far from poetic. It is visceral and jarring 🖤🌧

It shows up when you are not prepared.
• When you reach for them
• When you hear a sound and expect them there
• When you walk into a space that feels empty and off

There is a split second where your brain forgets. Then it remembers again 😞

That moment lands hard every time...

Some days feel normal. Then something small hits and it is not 💔

You can be functioning and still feel it sitting under everything.

You do not need to make this look okay. You do not need to explain it.

If you are grieving and need support, our psychologists are here and currently accepting new clients in the month of April 🙏

Karen here 🖤🐾

Over the weekend, I had to say goodbye to my dog, Yoshi 🐶😢

Many of you may have noticed I stepped back from social media over the last couple of months. That time was spent with him as his health declined and things became more severe. Even with that, his loss was very unexpected!

He was with me for over 12 years. A constant in my life, in the quiet moments at home and behind the scenes of this business. Losing him has been devastating 💔

I want to share this openly with all of you, and also speak directly to my clients.

If you feel like acknowledging it or asking a question in session, you can. You do not need to avoid it. And you also do not need to say anything at all. Whatever feels best for you is completely okay 💯

The space remains yours. My focus is on supporting you, your process, and your goals. If anything feels different for you, I want you to say so. We can talk about it.

For those who follow along here, this is a reminder that therapists are human too. We experience loss and grief outside of the therapy room, while still holding a strong responsibility to show up with care and intention for our clients and team 🙏

Thank you for the kindness and understanding during this difficult time 🌈🌁🐕

Sincerely Karen,
🦋✨️Authentic You: Counselling, Assessment & Addictions Services Inc.

Edmonton mental health community, this is important! 🚨❤️

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. 🆘️

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. ✅️

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. 💯

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. ❤️

FREE Naloxone kits are available at most pharmacies across Edmonton!

Patrick also provides NO COST training to clinics and organizations. 🙏

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

🦋 Welcome to Authentic You's Office 4! ☀️

The quiet corner of the clinic... ✨️

The room where the “strong one” finally gets to exhale... 💛

✔️ If you are the family translator.
✔️ If you carry cultural expectations no one names.
✔️ If success still feels like pressure.
Clara is here to support you four days a week, including evenings and weekends! 🙏

This space holds conversations about identity, achievement guilt, intergenerational trauma, relationships, and the tension between who you are and who you were expected to be.
You do not have to keep performing strength in this room.

Clara works in Cantonese and English and supports teens, adults, and older adults, especially those navigating cultural complexity and BIPOC lived experiences.

In person in Edmonton. Virtual across Alberta.

Free 15-minute phone or video consultations available.

🎊🥳 A Melissa Takeover... Happy Birthday Karen! 🥳🎉

Over this past weekend we celebrated not just the founder of Authentic You, but the incredible woman behind it all!

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

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. 🫶

Wishing you a year of joy, well deserved rest, and moments to enjoy everything you’ve worked so hard for.

Happy Birthday, Karen!!! 💛🎈🎁

No clients today at Authentic You.
Just our entire team. Doors closed. AGM in progress... 🤓

Every policy. Every client experience. Every decision. Reviewed. Refined. Strengthened! 💪

This is the side of private practice people don't usually see in the works. The responsibility behind the care.🧠

And later this afternoon. We step away from our clinical roles and spend some quality time together as humans. TGIF!!! 🙌

Grateful for this team. Grateful for this work. Grateful for what we’re building here in Edmonton! ✨️🌈

Office #3 is where Zach sees his clients every Monday and Wednesday. Same chair. Same space. Showing up again and again matters more than anything else.

Most people do not need advice. They need a place where they can finally be seen, heard and genuinely accepted for who they are. 💬

Zach is a relational, grounded, and authentic psychologist who works with teens, adults, and older adults in Edmonton and virtually across Alberta. Free 15-minute consultations available!

🧧🔥🐎 Happy Lunar New Year from All of Us at Authentic You: Counselling, Assessment & Addictions Services Inc. 🐎🔥🧧

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! 🎆

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. 🙏

Canada’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. 💯

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

Clara Lee and Zach Scivoletto currently have limited availability remaining for counselling sessions in February! ❄️

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

❤️ Teens
❤️ Adults
❤️ Older Adults
❤️ Individuals across Alberta (in-person and virtual)
❤️ BIPOC and multicultural clients

A new year can be a powerful time to embark on your healing journey. When you are ready, we are here for you!

💔 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 🥀

None of this is cute... 🥺

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

Trauma does not ask for consent! It is not a choice 💯

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! 💔

Intergenerational trauma is heavy and it is exhausting to be the “cycle breaker.”

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. 🫶

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. 🙏

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 ✨️

🎓 Grad school does not actively promote building real relationships or genuine closeness with clients.

👔 The corporate world often discourages it with your staff.

Connection is not unprofessional. And can actually be therapeutic! 🥰✨

🎶 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. 💯

Professional distance is NOT what creates safety. Attunement does. 🫶

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. 🦋🌈

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

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. 🤍
