Fort McMurray, we’re looking for therapists!

If you’re a Registered Psychiatric Nurse, Registered Clinical Social Worker, or Registered Psychologist, we really want to hear from you.

We have a growing waitlist for Indigenous Albertans requiring therapeutic support. Unfortunately, the federal government will only approve clinicians with one of these three designations to support this much-needed service.

If you’re interested, please reach out to us at [email protected] with your resume

We’re so excited to introduce Boreal Therapy Collective’s newest contracted therapist, Andrea Elliott!

Andrea brings over a decade of experience supporting adults navigating substance use concerns, process addictions (including gambling, gaming, eating, and shopping), personality disorders, anxiety, and depression.

Her approach draws from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), and somatic approaches. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, a Bachelor of Social Work, and will receive her Master of Social Work in October 2026.

But beyond the education, experience, and clinical skills, what we really love about Andrea is who she is.

She’s warm, down-to-earth, and approachable. In both her personal and professional life, Andrea shows up with kindness, humility, and a commitment to open and supportive communication. We love her energy and feel incredibly lucky to have her here.

Andrea begins seeing clients with Boreal Therapy Collective on September 1 💜.

If you’ve been thinking about starting therapy, you can book an appointment with Andrea here:

We couldn’t be more excited to announce that Sunlife is launching direct billing for social workers and psychologists on October 1!

We’ve been told that each clinic’s registration with Sunlife may take a couple weeks to process (we hope to be submitting claims by mid-October).

If any of our current clients want to add their Sunlife insurance, please call, text, or email Miranda at 780-838-5070 or [email protected].

People often struggle with accountability if they have patterns of defensiveness or limited conflict resolution skills. When conflict arises or mistakes inevitably happen, there tends to be a tendency to focus on what the other person did wrong.

But true connection requires looking inward and owning your part. Practicing accountability allows you to cultivate trust and deepen emotional intimacy with others.

Research shows that the typical person spends 2.5 hours each day engaging with social media platforms. In many ways, social media has become an automatic extension of how we connect and even validate our inner experiences.

However, if you're struggling with mental health concerns (like low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, poor impulse control, or emotional dysregulation), social media may aggravate certain symptoms. Having increased awareness can help you feel more empowered with your online habits.

Whether we like it or not, AI is everywhere these days. It’s becoming rapidly integrated into our daily lives, and mental health is no exception. From people using AI-generated journal prompts to confiding in therapy chatbots, we’re in the early stages of exploring how digital tools can support emotional well-being. While some of these tools can be helpful, it’s equally important to be mindful of the very real risks.

At Boreal Therapy Collective, we’re noticing an increasing number of people bringing up AI in sessions. While we’re not anti-technology, we believe it’s essential to separate clinical reality from digital hype. All mental health support is nuanced, and AI, despite its undeniable speed and accessibility, can’t fully replace the complexity of therapeutic relationships.

Let's be honest - technology use is unavoidable. It's a central part of everyday life. As a parent, it may be challenging to know when, how, or even if you should introduce electronic devices to your child. You might also hear conflicting messages: one expert might demonize all screen time, whereas another expert might insist it's educational. Meanwhile, you might be trying to make dinner or get through a difficult meltdown at the grocery store.

At Boreal Therapy Collective, we're not here to offer overly rigid rules or impose any moral judgment about how parents raise their children. We understand the complex reality of parenting in this digital world. However, we are here to help you understand how electronics and social media can impact your child's mental health. By understanding brain development and knowing what's at stake, you can make more intentional choices with your family.

It’s been a week of celebration at Boreal Therapy Collective!

People show up in our lives unexpectedly and impact us in ways we never could have imagined.

Leah moved to Fort McMurray in 2024, during the final stages of her Master of Social Work degree. The move brought about an urgent need for a field placement (the final requirement prior to her graduation). Of all the options available in Fort McMurray, Leah reached out to us. We’re calling it fate

As a parent, you want to support your child and nurture them well. No matter your family circumstances, there's often a fierce desire to shield and protect your children from pain. That said, many parents find it hard to discern the line between supporting and enabling behaviours. We’re back with another blog post to help you navigate one of the many complexities of parenthood.
