North Edmonton Counselling Services was established to demystify and destigmatize counselling, and to improve the quality of life of our clients. Dr. Olive Okraku takes a holistic approach that explores the biological, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of who you are. This biopsychosocial model of practice recognizes that all these aspects are linked and we can’t effectively address one without considering the others.
Together we can identify, explore, and resolve issues that create barriers to living a fulfilling life. North Edmonton Counselling Services provides comprehensive counselling services to individuals of any age, couples, and families.
Working with compassion, empathy, and without judgement, Dr. Olive Okraku will help you discover your innate strength and resilience to manage difficult life transitions, heal emotional pain, restore balance, and enhance your coping skills.
Edmonton Psychologist, Dr. Olive Okraku, offers counselling services for Adults, Children & Youth, and Couples. Collaboratively, she works with individuals and families to identify and explore options for addressing issues such as trauma and abandonment, depression, anxiety, stress and lifestyle problems, chronic pain, family breakdowns, addictions, and more. Olive’s core beliefs about people, their strength and resilience, and the power of diversity, differentiate her from many other health-care providers. Working from a strengths-based perspective, she recognizes and builds on peoples’ strengths rather than focusing on their shortcomings. Making changes, and exploring the difficulties one faces are important. However, transformation, healing, and growth can occur when we strive through difficulties and identify and magnify any goodness.
If you are feeling unsure or overwhelmed, just know that the very act of seeking out information is the right first step in your journey.
As a trained and experienced psychologist, Dr. Olive Okraku can join you in this journey, and together we can work to explore and address whatever issues are keeping you from living a fulfilling life. Her approach is holistic, which takes into account all the aspects of “You” — not just whatever mental state you may be experiencing. Olive works with people — individuals, children and teens, and couples and families, not cases.
