Bharat Sharma, Psychotherapist Edmonton, Alberta

CBT EDMONTON THERAPIST

A Comprehensive
psychotherapy

I am a Master practitioner in Clinical Counseling with a private practice in Edmonton, Alberta. I focus on adults and families struggling with mental health issues, ranging from depression and anxiety to addiction, conflict, and relationship issues. Many practices divide limited attention and resources across many clients; my philosophy has always been quality over quantity, devoting the time and attention needed to help clients achieve mental wellness. This does result in my only being able to see a limited number of clients weekly, but the trade-off in specialized attention that I can provide is tremendous. I utilize an integrative approach to help clients discover the prototypes (or causes) in their lives, which are the roots of their unhappiness and sorrow. The sense of being alone in this situation is a common issue, which exacerbates the entire problem. With that in mind, I hold clients accountable for making necessary changes in their lives to promote better connections and relationships with family, friends, and coworkers – people who love and care about them – so that nobody has to feel alone on this journey to wellness. I understand that psychotherapy can be a daunting or at least uncomfortable prospect, and I also know that many people have some level of trepidation and skepticism going in. This is one reason I employ a very interactive approach, asking lots of questions, providing support, and challenging clients to take the initiative to grow and reach breakthroughs. I have significant knowledge and training in conventional, complementary, and alternative medical systems, allowing me to help people from any walk of life to attain better relationships, free themselves of anxiety and depression and just overall overcome the troubles in their lives which are costing them their mental health.
