Meet Graham Hall, CCC ✨

Graham’s counselling approach is rooted in trauma-informed principles and shaped under the mentorship of one of Canada’s leading Clinical Traumatologists. He understands that no two people experience their lives — or their pain — in the same way. Because of this, Graham tailors therapy to each individual, drawing from humanistic, emotionally focused, CBT, and parts-work approaches to meet clients in the language their nervous system speaks.

Graham especially enjoys supporting adults at meaningful transition points — those established in their careers (50+) and those still uncovering their strengths and “superpowers” (18–30). These seasons often hold deep potential for growth, healing, and reconnection with one’s purpose.

His areas of focus include:
🌿 Trauma & PTSD
🔥 Anger & Sensitivity
💛 Depression & Anxiety
🕊️ Grief & Loss
✨ Life Purpose & Performance
🌱 Perfectionism
🔗 Relational Enmeshment & Engagement

Graham brings not only clinical skill, but also extensive personal experience in understanding, relating to, and advocating for Indigenous peoples navigating systemic injustices and intergenerational trauma. His work is grounded, compassionate, and deeply human.

If you’re feeling the pull to grow, heal, or repattern the systems within you, Graham is now accepting new clients and would be honoured to walk alongside you.

Fidget toys aren’t just a trend! They can be a meaningful tool for supporting your mental health. ✨

They offer a quiet, non-disruptive outlet for restless energy, helping the mind settle and the body feel grounded. Many people find that they reduce stress and anxiety, support emotional regulation through gentle sensory input, and even improve focus when things feel overwhelming.

If you’ve been feeling scattered or on edge, small tools like this can make everyday moments more manageable.

And if you’re curious about what might help you feel more regulated, therapy can be a great place to explore what works for you.

International Men’s Day is a chance to talk openly about men’s mental health—something that often goes unspoken. 💙

International Men’s Day is an important reminder that men’s mental health matters too. Many men feel pressure to stay strong, keep things together, or handle everything on their own. In Canada, men are three times more likely to die by suicide, yet only about 30% of men experiencing mental health challenges seek help. These numbers reflect a deeper issue: societal pressure to appear “strong” or “in control,” even when life feels heavy.

But emotional support is not a weakness. Reaching out is a meaningful and healthy step.

If you’ve been noticing increased stress, burnout, irritability, withdrawal, or changes in your mood or energy, you’re not alone. These can be signs that your system is carrying more than it can manage. Support is available, and healing is possible. 🌿

At Little Tree Psychology, we support men navigating depression, anxiety, work-related stress, anger, substance use, relationship challenges, life transitions, and more. You don’t have to wait until things feel overwhelming to reach out.

Today and every day, we see you, and we’re here to support you. 💚

World Kindness Day is all about celebrating kindness in all its forms, self-kindness included!!

Kindness doesn’t always have to be grand gestures or big moments. It can be as simple as offering a smile, checking in on a friend, holding space for someone’s feelings, or speaking gently to yourself when things don’t go as planned.

Being kind to others starts with being kind to yourself because when you nurture compassion within, it naturally extends outward. Rest when you need to, forgive yourself for being human, and let empathy guide the way you connect with others.

✨ Today, take a moment to notice where you can bring a little more kindness — to yourself, to the people around you, and to the world as a whole. Even the smallest acts can leave a lasting impact.

#littletreepyschology #MentalHealthSupport #kindness #kindnessmatters #worldkindessday

Meet the Team: Ana Zulic ✨

If you’ve ever felt like you don’t quite fit — in your family, relationships, workplace, or even within yourself. Ana wants you to know you’re not alone. Many people carry quiet, painful beliefs about who they are: feeling like the black sheep, struggling with a diagnosis, or sensing that life could be better than it is. These inner battles can feel overwhelming. If this resonates, you’re in the right place.

Ana believes therapy offers something deeply transformative: a space where you can be truly seen, understood, and supported. When pain is met with genuine attunement, the nervous system can finally settle. This opens the door to exploring emotions, challenging beliefs, and trying new ways of being. This isn’t just intellectual work; it’s experiential. The therapeutic relationship becomes a model for healthier attachment, emotional regulation, and self-compassion. 🌿

Ana believes healing is always possible — and there is no deadline. Maybe healing isn’t about becoming the “best version” of yourself; maybe it’s allowing the hardest parts of you to be loved.

When you’re ready, she’ll walk with you on that journey back to yourself. 💛

We’re so happy to share that Little Tree has officially opened a small office in Camrose — a cozy, calm space for Cassidy to support clients right in the community. 🌿

✨ Cassidy will continue seeing clients in our Sherwood Park office on Mondays and Tuesdays, and she’ll now be in the Camrose office on Fridays to support the community there.

When we’re running on little sleep, everything feels harder.
Our patience wears thin, emotions feel heavier, and even small challenges can feel overwhelming.

Getting enough rest isn’t just about feeling less tired, it’s about giving your mind the space it needs to process, heal, and recharge. 💚

At Little Tree Psychology, we know that quality sleep plays a big role in your overall mental health.

If you’ve been feeling more anxious, down, or disconnected lately, take a moment to check in with your sleep. Sometimes, improving rest is the first gentle step toward feeling more balanced and grounded. 🌙

✨ Your mind deserves rest. Not as a just reward, but as a part of caring for yourself.

#mentalhealthmatters #selfcare #albertatherapist #familytherapy #yegtherapy #littletreepyschology #MentalHealthSupport #wellnesswednesday #sleeptips

Stay positive this season by embracing the little things: gratitude, light, warmth, creativity, and mindfulness. 🌞✨

Small habits make a big difference in your mental wellness. 💛

#mentalhealthmatters #coldweather #winterblues #mindfulness #selfcare #therapy

As the seasons shift, so can you. This month, give yourself permission to pause, breathe, and truly show up for yourself—mind, body, and heart.

November invites us to slow down and turn inward. It’s a gentle reminder that self-care isn’t selfish, it’s necessary. Take time to rest, journal, walk in nature, or simply check in with how you’re feeling. Small moments of reflection can make a big difference in your mental wellness. 🌿

As the days get shorter and life feels busier, remember: growth also happens in stillness. Choose to nurture yourself, set mindful intentions, and create space for calm.

You deserve to feel grounded, balanced, and cared for.

✨ Ready to make your well-being a priority this season? Connect with one of our therapists at Little Tree Psychology and take the next step toward balance and growth.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective and evidence-based approaches to improving mental health.

Imagine your mind as a garden: CBT helps you identify and “weed out” unhelpful thoughts while planting seeds of positivity, resilience, and self-compassion. 🌷

By learning to challenge distorted thinking patterns and adopt healthier beliefs, CBT equips you with practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and relationship challenges.

At Little Tree Psychology, we often integrate CBT techniques into treatment plans to help clients develop emotional balance and self-awareness in everyday life.

Whether you’re working on self-confidence, navigating stress, or strengthening relationships, CBT offers a proactive path toward lasting change and personal growth. 💚

At Little Tree Psychology, we’re here to support you through life’s challenges with care and compassion. Reach out or visit our website to book an appointment today.

We know that the recent teacher strike has been incredibly challenging — for our teachers, parents, and kids. ❤️

At Little Tree Psychology, we want to acknowledge how deeply this has affected our community. Teachers give so much of themselves to nurture and guide our children, and we stand firmly beside them through this difficult time.

We also recognize how stressful this season has been for families. When routines change and emotions run high, it’s normal to feel stretched thin. That’s where we come in!

Our team offers:
✨ Therapy for children, teens, and adults
✨ Parenting consultations to help you reconnect as a family
✨ Support for managing stress, emotions, and transitions

Whether you’re a teacher, a parent, or someone needing a little extra support right now, we’re here to help you find calm, clarity, and connection again. 💚

📞 Reach out anytime. We’re always happy to support you and our Alberta community.

Meet the Team: Hanna McGee ✨

Are you feeling completely stuck and overwhelmed — or simply looking for a little extra support and comfort?
Hanna believes that entering therapy, at any stage of life, is a brave and meaningful step. She offers a warm, accepting space where you can show up as yourself and find clarity, growth, and healing on your own terms. 🌿

Hanna’s approach is grounded in the belief that every person has the capacity and resilience to overcome life’s challenges. She draws on a variety of therapeutic modalities to create a holistic, collaborative experience where clients feel safe, supported, and truly heard.

Hanna is currently a Counselling Student working toward a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology with Yorkville University. Over the past three years, she has worked at a non-profit centre supporting youth, teens, and adults through education around consent, communication, and boundaries.

Outside of the therapy room, Hanna brings her passion for sports to her work — with nearly 20 years of experience playing ringette and collaborating with local teams to promote empowerment and consent in sport. 🏒✨

Hanna supports clients through a wide range of concerns including:
💚 Domestic violence and abuse
💚 Separation, divorce, and relationship difficulties
💚 Family and relational dynamics, parenting challenges
💚 ADHD support, academic challenges, social skills, and bullying
💚 Anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma
💚 Grief, loss, self-esteem, and body image

Hanna is dedicated to helping clients build self-understanding, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives.

If you’re ready to take that first step toward healing, Hanna is here to walk alongside you every step of the way. 💫

✨ This is your gentle reminder to give yourself permission to rest this weekend. ✨

Rest is not a weakness. It’s how your mind and body heal, recover, and recharge. Taking time to slow down allows you to reconnect with yourself and nurture your emotional well-being.

You are worthy of care, compassion, and peace. In rest, you find the strength to rise again: stronger, calmer, and more grounded than before. 🌿

#mentalhealthmatters #SelfCare #littletreepyschology #therapy #yegtherapy #therapy

Take a mindful moment to check in with yourself! ✨

It’s easy to move through the week on autopilot — but self-awareness and reflection are key to your mental wellness and emotional health. 🌿

Here are a few gentle questions to guide your check-in today:

1️⃣ How am I feeling — physically, mentally, and emotionally? 😁😀🤨😥😭
2️⃣ Have I been nourishing my body with enough water and healthy food this week? 🍝🚰 What small goals can I set to take better care of myself?
3️⃣ Am I prioritizing rest, or do I need to slow down to prevent burnout? 🛌
4️⃣ What’s something that’s brought me joy this week? How can I invite more moments of joy into my days? ☀💚

Remember — self-care isn’t selfish. Taking time to pause, reflect, and care for your mind and body helps build long-term resilience and emotional balance. 🌱

This World Food Day, we’re celebrating the powerful connection between food and mental health 🥗✨

When stress levels rise, what you eat can make a real difference. Nourishing your body with the right foods helps support emotional balance, energy, and focus.

Here are some additional mood-boosting options to keep in mind:
🍫 Dark chocolate – rich in antioxidants that promote calm and focus
🐟 Salmon – packed with omega-3s to reduce anxiety
🍓 Berries – high in vitamin C to combat stress hormones
🌿 Leafy greens – rich in magnesium to help you relax
🍵 Green tea – soothing and full of L-theanine for calm alertness

Remember, food is more than fuel.. it’s part of caring for your mind and body.

#littletreepyschology #MentalHealthSupport #sherwoodpark #edmonton #yegtherapy #foodisfuel

Each of us moves through the world on a path uniquely our own, filled with detours, lessons, and moments of growth. Some chapters come easily, while others test our resilience.

You’ll stumble. You’ll course-correct. And you’ll keep going, learning to adapt and define success in your own way. 🚘✨

Remember: your progress doesn’t need to look like anyone else’s. Every small step, every pause, every pivot is part of the journey.

Your mental health matters: today and every day. 🌎💭

Therapy helps you reconnect with yourself, build resilience, and find calm in the chaos. It’s not about “fixing” who you are, but understanding yourself more deeply.

This #WorldMentalHealthDay, take a moment to check in with yourself. How are you really feeling?

Stephen believes that we all have a tremendous ability to heal, change, and grow. 🌱

Every day, our minds quietly work behind the scenes: processing, adapting, and making sense of our experiences. Stephen helps clients take a moment to pause, reflect, and explore the stories that shape who they are. Through awareness, acceptance, and self-exploration, he guides people toward healing and meaning in their lives.

With over ten years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, families, couples, and athletes, Stephen supports clients through a wide range of concerns including:

✨ Family and relational dynamics
✨ Separation, divorce, and infidelity
✨ ADHD support, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma
✨ Emotional regulation, anger, self-esteem, and body image
✨ Grief, loss, chronic pain, and life transitions
✨ Men’s issues, spirituality, and sports psychology

He welcomes clients of all backgrounds, including non-binary and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals, and believes that while we all experience life’s hardships in different ways. We all share the capacity to suffer, and to heal, equally. 💚

Stephen has extensive experience working with trauma. He understands that trauma isn’t just about big, dramatic moments — it’s often the quiet residue of our survival. Whether it stems from loss, pain, or life transitions, Stephen views trauma as an artifact of human resilience and believes that healing requires dedication, vulnerability, and trust in the therapeutic relationship.

His approach integrates Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Existential Psychology, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) — offering evidence-based tools within a compassionate, understanding space.

Stephen offers both in-person and virtual sessions, is accepting new clients, and provides daytime appointments for your convenience.

If you’re ready to begin your healing journey, reach out today to book a session with Stephen. 🌿

You are your own greatest project and that’s something worth investing in. ✨

At Little Tree Psychology, we believe therapy is one of the most powerful tools for personal growth, emotional healing, and self-discovery. It’s not about “fixing” who you are. It’s about understanding yourself, healing past wounds, and learning how to move through life with more balance and compassion. 🩵

Through therapy, you can begin to:
🌱 Build healthier coping strategies
🌱 Strengthen your emotional resilience
🌱 Improve relationships and communication
🌱 Heal from trauma, anxiety, or burnout
🌱 Feel more connected to who you truly are

Your mental health deserves time, attention, and care — just like any other important part of your life. Whether you’re navigating stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, or relationship challenges, our therapists are here to support your journey.

Because the most meaningful project you’ll ever work on… is you. 💫

Take what you need:

🩵 I deserve to be here just as much as anyone else. You’ve worked hard for your place and your presence matters.
💚 I am worthy – I was not chosen by accident. Your achievements are not luck; they’re a reflection of your effort, skills, and dedication.
💙 I can handle any challenge before me. You have the resilience, resourcefulness, and courage to rise to whatever comes your way.

Imposter syndrome can make you feel like you don’t belong, but those thoughts are not the truth. You are enough, just as you are. ✨

Be gentle with yourself, celebrate your wins (big or small), and remind yourself that your voice and perspective add value. And if imposter syndrome feels heavy, know that support is always available—through therapy, connection, and self-compassion.

Your body and mind often send early warning signs when stress is building, even before you realize how much it’s affecting you. When left unaddressed, stress can impact your mental health, physical health, and overall well-being. By learning to recognize the signals, you can take steps toward balance and prevent burnout.

👉 Physical signs: Do you find yourself getting frequent headaches, dealing with ongoing muscle tension, or experiencing stomach issues? Fatigue and low energy are also common physical signs that stress may be weighing on you.

👉 Emotional signs: Stress doesn’t just show up in the body, it can also impact your emotions. Increased irritability, feeling anxious or restless, waves of sadness, or more frequent mood swings may be your mind’s way of letting you know it needs support.

👉 Behavioural signs: Notice changes in your daily habits? Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, changes in appetite, neglecting hobbies you once enjoyed, withdrawing from social connections, or developing nervous habits (like nail biting or pacing) are all common ways stress influences behaviour.

👉 Other effects: Ongoing stress can weaken the immune system, leading to more frequent colds or illnesses. It may also show up through skin or hair changes, a lack of motivation, or even feeling like you constantly need more stimulation to cope.

Stress is a natural part of life, but it doesn’t have to overwhelm you. Practicing self-care, building healthy coping strategies, and reaching out for support are powerful ways to find relief.

✨ At Little Tree Psychology, our counselling and therapy services in Sherwood Park are designed to help children, teens, and adults manage stress in healthy ways. Remember: listening to your body and emotions is the first step. Reaching out for professional support can be the next step toward healing, resilience, and feeling like yourself again.

Gentle reminders for your mental health this week✨

Take what you need:
🩵 Set boundaries – saying no is a form of self-care.
💚 Progress over perfection – healing and growth aren’t linear.
💙 Prioritize rest – your mind and body need it to thrive.
💚 Engage your creativity – journaling, drawing, or movement can be healing.
🩵 Reach out for support – you don’t have to do it alone.

Self-care is essential, not optional. Treat yourself with the same compassion you’d offer someone you love. Remember, therapy and mental health support are here to help you feel your best.

With the potential teacher strike starting October 6th, many families may be feeling stressed, uncertain, and overwhelmed.

At Little Tree Psychology, we want you to know you don’t have to face these changes alone. 🌱 We’re increasing our availability to offer additional therapy appointments for children, teens, and parents who may need extra care during this time.

Support during this time can mean having a safe space for your child to share their feelings, learning gentle ways to cope with stress and big emotions, and finding guidance as a parent while routines shift. It’s also about strengthening connection as a family so everyone feels a little more grounded and cared for, even in times of uncertainty.

💌 If you or your child could use some extra support right now, don’t hesitate to reach out. You can book with us through our website!

Have you ever paused to thank life for the opportunities it gives you — even the small ones?

“Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.” – William Arthur Ward

Every day brings new chances — to grow, to heal, to learn, to love. Gratitude allows us to see opportunities not as burdens, but as blessings. When we thank life for every open door, we invite more doors to appear. 🌿

👉 Today, list one opportunity you’re thankful for — big or small. Let that gratitude open your heart to more possibilities. ✨

Life moves fast, and sometimes we forget to look back and see how far we’ve come. 😇That version of you who once wished for clarity, calm, or simply a break—you’re living parts of that answered prayer now. 🌿 And it’s okay if it’s still imperfect. What matters is that you care for the good things that have found their way to you—especially the quiet ones. Growth is sacred, and so is your peace. 💚

🌱 What have you received lately that your past self prayed for?

Hello, Friday!🌾

Take a deep breath, feel the freedom, and welcome the weekend with open arms.
Let joy lead the way today! 💙✨

#FeelGoodFriday #WeekendVibes #HelloFriday

You don’t need to have it all figured out to start feeling better.😇😍😍

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of how to move forward, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to do it alone either. Whether you're navigating anxiety, grief, life transitions, or big emotions that just don’t make sense, Brenna Oswald is here to walk alongside you with warmth and curiosity. As a Mental Health Therapist working toward registration as a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) and Provisional Psychologist in Alberta, Brenna holds a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, a Bachelor of Education, and a Bachelor of Arts. She offers a supportive, collaborative space where you can feel grounded, seen, and supported on your own terms.

In your work together, Brenna takes a somatic, whole-body approach—tuning into the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and nervous system. Therapy with Brenna is far from one-size-fits-all. Depending on your needs, she may draw from Somatic Experiencing, DBT, ACT, CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Play Therapy, or Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT). And if you’re a fan of furry friends, her therapy dog Marvin might just make a guest appearance, offering a little extra comfort along the way.

If you’re ready to take that first step—whether it’s big or small—Brenna would love to connect and see how she can support you. Let’s find a way forward, together.🥰😇😇☺️

What if the sunshine you’re looking for is already within you?😍🤔🤔

✨ “Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.”
— Anthony J. D’Angelo

External sunshine is beautiful, but the kind that truly lasts comes from within—your hope, your kindness, your quiet strength. 🌿 Even on clear days, it’s your inner light that makes the biggest difference. 🥰😇Choosing to carry warmth in your words, gentleness in your thoughts, and grace in your actions makes the world a little brighter. You don’t have to wait for perfect conditions to feel good. You are the sunshine.

☀️ What’s something you can do today to bring light to yourself or someone else?

Midweek munchies? Swap your usual snack for something supercharging! 🥕

By Wednesday, energy dips can lead to sugary cravings that crash your focus. Choosing a nutrient‑packed snack keeps blood sugar steady, boosts brainpower, and fights that afternoon slump.❤🥰🥳

Replace one common snack today (e.g., chips, candy bar) with one of these:

Apple slices + almond butter
Greek yogurt + mixed berries
Carrot sticks + hummus
Handful of nuts + a few dark chocolate chips

Notice how you feel 30 minutes later—more alert? Less hungry?
Take the swap challenge now and comment 🍎 with your duo of choice!
