aboutchristina vaillancourt
I am a Registered Psychologist in Airdrie Alberta, and also proud to call Airdrie home. I completed my Masters of Counselling degree in 2008 and started a private practice in Airdrie in 2010, to provide personalized, specialized support for individuals and families with a variety of issues. I treat people with respect and dignity, and value their uniqueness. I offer compassion, hope, and encourage people to create meaningful changes in their lives. It is a privilege to be part of their journey forward.
I have specialized training and expertise in the areas of child psychology, play therapy, and trauma. I have significant experience working with children and their families regarding treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD, developmental issues, separation/divorce, behavioral issues and emotion regulation using play-based and expressive interventions. In helping adults, I have specialized training in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), trauma (Prolonged Exposure Therapy), and Solution Focused Therapy.
