Meet Little Tree Psychology
About Us
At Little Tree Psychology, we believe that meaningful change begins in a space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Located in Strathcona County and serving Sherwood Park and Edmonton, we offer more than counseling — we offer connection, clarity, and compassionate care.
Whether you're an individual navigating life’s challenges, a couple working to reconnect, or a family in search of harmony, we’re here to walk alongside you. No two journeys are alike, and that’s why we don’t believe in cookie-cutter therapy. Our skilled team blends evidence-based techniques with a deeply personalized approach — meeting you exactly where you are and guiding you toward where you want to be.
Therapy at Little Tree is warm, welcoming, and grounded in real relationships. Our therapists are passionate about creating a safe space where healing isn’t just possible — it’s expected.
We’re here to help you move from surviving to thriving, one session at a time.
If you’re ready to grow, we’re ready to help you take root.

Our Story
Hi, I’m Stephen — and Little Tree Psychology started with a simple truth I learned long before I became a psychologist: people just need to feel seen, heard, and safe.
Back when I was a teaching student, I noticed something curious. Even after the bell rang, many students would hang around my classroom. They weren’t looking for extra tutoring or waiting for a ride — they were looking for connection. They wanted someone approachable, someone who would listen without judgment. I wasn’t the “cool” teacher, but I was present, and that mattered.
That experience stuck with me. Over the years, I’ve learned that it’s not just children who need that kind of space — it’s all of us. Like Dumbledore wisely said, just because something is in our heads (or we’re young) doesn’t mean it isn’t real or worth attention.
Little Tree Psychology was born from that belief. The name symbolizes a place where young minds — like little trees — can grow strong, resilient roots. While our beginnings focused on children, teens, and young adults, our branches have grown. Today, we provide compassionate, evidence-based care for people of all ages — individuals, couples, and families.
Our mission hasn’t changed: to create a safe, understanding space where every person’s voice matters, where healing can take root, and where growth is nurtured every step of the way.

Communications
I recently graduated from Grant MacEwan University with a background in biological sciences and psychology. I have always had an innate desire to learn about behaviour and the human mind. I am pursuing graduate studies at Yorkville University to further my education in counselling and eventually become a registered provisional psychologist.
I love being a part of the Little Tree Psychology team and educating the general public about mental health and its
importance!
