ShiftGrit Psychology & Counselling: Anxiety, Depression, Trauma, Psychologist Edmonton

The therapists seem great but the administration and billing not so much. Always a problem with benefits and billing every time so far. In regards to the response below, this seems like a generic answer with no true intention to help. More time is spent in a Google response than explaining the full process and reasoning. Currently the benefit response from the adminstration team is that male benefit coverage has to be applied before female benefit coverage for dependents. Is this legal?

It wasn't the right time for me, but I think it could certainly work for others. My 2 cents; from a non-psychologist.Although I certainly found benefit, I don't believe it was effective as it could have been. We went through the process of CBT, then on to EMDR.I believe I wasn't legitimizing past issues. The CBT did help me recognize some things, but the process felt cold, quick, and as though I had to come up with all the answers. I'm sure it can be more profound if you come to the conclusion yourself regarding the psychology behind someones actions, but in a $190/50min session I sure felt the stress of not getting my money's worth rather than my own issues when I spent over a minute trying to understand the direction the psychologist was leading me to when it could have been said right away.Then the therapist implemented EMDR shortly after I didn't feel the stresses associated with the issues we were working on because it wasn't real enough. So I brought my stress level from a 5? (out of 10) to 1.Anyone dealing with PTSD from a traumatic event, this is right for you.In my case it was early childhood development; and I learned more & felt" more from a Gabor Maté lecture than I did with 6 session with my assigned psychologist.My last point; I continuously asked for homework that I could have done on my own

I think what I like most about Shift is how personable and understanding the psychologists are. You are a person, not just a diagnosis to be solved. They help you and your support network understand what and why your brain is doing whatever it is and create a safe place to build you back up. They are warm and caring. They don't get annoyed if you miss or need to reschedule an appointent and having the ability to have call in sessions is great for hectic days. The receptionists are so cool and efficient. If I need to reschedule, I'll usually get a confirmation email before I've hung up. I'm incredibly grateful for Shift and their up to date, normalizing take on psychology.

I have always wanted to go to therapy but the thought of selecting a therapist was overwhelming and intimidating. At ShiftGrit, I filled out a questionnaire and was matched with a psychologist based on my needs. I am so happy & grateful that I was matched with Aneesha. With Shift’s unique protocol, we worked through my limiting belief. I feel so much better and am now able to view life with a new perspective.

Professional setting and service—the vibe is very calm and inviting. Connecting with a therapist is never guaranteed; however Beth is very approachable, understanding and real in her practice. If anyone is unsure if they will benefit from therapy, just try. I was skeptical, until I worked through some trauma and “came out the other side” because of the support and VERY sound expertise from Beth. She not only worked with me through my challenges, she ensured that I was aware of said progress, and provided me with REAL tools to use in my situation. If there were more stars, I would have rated her service higher.

I've had a lot of therapists before, and they all gave me the impression that they're being paid to care about the person they're talking to, but Shift was the first time I genuinely felt like I was being heard and what I was going through mattered.

I've been coming here for a number of years.I can say that Andrea is the perfect fit for me. She weaves in executive coaching in her sessions with me, as a small business owner this helps me excel at my role.I highly recommend Shift to anyone looking for a psychologist. Their offices are fun, filled with cool artwork, and inviting.

I went for couples counseling with my partner. A number of months later after breaking up with my partner they told me I could NOT see my previous counsellor. The one person who would be able to give great insight refused because of a conflict of interest and also would not inform another counsellor of my case so that they could help instead. I plead my case but all they did was pass me off to an uninformed other counselor Who then left after two sessions to go practice somewhere else.

I have engaged various modalities over the years to deal with my limiting beliefs and beliefs that do not serve me. The work I did with Andrea at Shift was impactful and most importantly: it stuck for the long term.

Very fun, youthful and inviting place. I did ask about sliding scale though a couple of times and it was never arranged. Still a very helpful experience though overall! Liked that they offered evening sessions.
