Janelle Boisvert
Registered Psychologist
I am a Registered Psychologist (#4633) providing online counselling across Alberta. I completed my Bachelor's degree in Psychology in French at the University of Alberta’s Campus Saint-Jean, and my Master's degree in Counselling Psychology at the University of Alberta.
Working on healing, growth, and change can feel quite vulnerable at times. For this reason, I pride myself on being warm and approachable. I bring experience, compassion and a playful personality to my work with clients.
In addition to working in private practice, I have also worked at the Sexual Assault Centre of Edmonton, providing counselling to people who have experienced sexual violence.
​
In my spare time I enjoy playing with my kids, reading a good book, getting together with friends for a games night, and going for walks in the beautiful Edmonton River Valley with my family.

Approaches to Therapy

Below are some of the primary therapeutic approaches that guide my work with clients.
