“Our thoughts, our feelings, and our behaviors are all interconnected”.
Dr. Michelle Pearce.
Hello, my name is Robert Kidd. I am a registered Psychologist in Alberta with over ten years of experience in the field of addictions and mental health. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege to work in a variety of settings, including non-for-profit organizations, addiction treatment centers, hospital units, mental health departments, and in private practice.
In these diverse environments, I have had the opportunity to serve individuals struggling with addictions and mental health concerns. My primary focus has been on providing counseling services to older teens and adults. I firmly believe that one-on-one sessions and couples therapy can be transformative experiences for those seeking support and guidance.
Within my practice, I utilize a client-focused approach, tailoring my therapeutic interventions to meet the unique needs and goals of each individual or couple. I firmly believe in the importance of establishing a safe and non-judgmental environment where individuals can explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences in a meaningful way.
In addition to my work as a Psychologist, I also engage in ongoing professional development to ensure that I am staying up-to-date with the latest research and therapeutic techniques. This commitment to continued learning allows me to provide the highest quality of care to those who seek my services
I have honed my expertise through extensive training and hands-on experience in helping individuals grappling with a diverse range of mood and personality disorders. Over the years, I have devoted a significant portion of my practice to working closely with clients who confront the challenges associated with ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, grief and loss, self-worth enhancement, stress reduction, substance abuse and behavioral addictions, as well as trauma.
My training has provided me with a comprehensive understanding of these conditions. Through evidence-based therapeutic approaches and customized treatment plans, I am able to guide my clients towards healing, growth, and empowerment.
Specialized Treatments Offered.
At RK Counselling, I understand the unique challenges faced by individuals with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and the impact it can have on their daily lives. That's why I offer specialized support and treatment strategies to help manage ADHD symptoms effectively.
I have acquired ADHD-specific training and have expertise with evidence-based techniques to address the diverse needs of individuals with ADHD, both with and without medications.
One of the key services I offer is ADHD assessment. I recognize the importance of accurately diagnosing ADHD, as this becomes the foundation for tailored treatment plans and educational support. Through this process, we can provide accurate diagnoses and specific treatment recommendations.
Based on the assessment findings treatment recommendations that encompass both therapeutic and educational interventions are provided. Treatment strategies are personalized to each individual's unique needs, taking into account their strengths, challenges, and personal goals. ADHD is a journey and is different for everyone, and I aim to create a supportive environment where clients feel empowered and motivated to make positive changes in their lives.
I am happy to announce I have successfully completed the necessary training and have obtained certification as an Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) provider. This intensive form of treatment has proven to be an effective approach in addressing trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) among clients.
ART offers a unique and innovative therapeutic technique that helps individuals process and resolve traumatic experiences more rapidly than traditional therapy modalities. Drawing from elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and other evidence-based practices, ART harnesses the innate capacity of the mind to heal itself.
With this newly acquired certification, I can ensure that clients experiencing trauma or battling with the debilitating effects of PTSD receive the highest level of care and support. Through ART, individuals can achieve relief from distressing symptoms and significantly improve their emotional well-being.
As an ART provider, I am committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for clients to embark on their healing journey. Every individual's experiences and needs are unique, and I tailor the therapy process accordingly. I facilitate a collaborative and empowering therapeutic relationship where clients feel heard, understood, and respected.
If you or someone you know is grappling with the aftermath of trauma or struggling with PTSD, I am here to assist you. Through my expertise in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, we can work together to alleviate distressing symptoms, foster resilience, and pave the way for a more fulfilling life.
