My name is Kaily Turner, and I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists and a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. My counselling experience spans a variety of settings, including work as a Reproductive Mental Health Counselling Intern at St. Paul’s Hospital in Vancouver, an Addictions Counsellor for a women’s second-stage treatment program in Edmonton and at Crossroads Healing Centre in Lethbridge, and working with children, youth, adults, couples, and families with diverse challenges and needs.

In my private practice, I work with clients across different ages and life stages, focusing on building coping skills, strengthening attachment and connections, and improving communication.

My approach to counselling is to create a safe, collaborative environment where clients feel supported, regardless of their challenges. I believe that everyone has the capacity to grow, and my role is to facilitate self-awareness, expand coping skills, and help regulate the body and mind.

In addition to the therapeutic relationship, I use an eclectic approach tailored to each client, drawing from my training and experience. This includes:

• Psychoeducation on physiology and the neurobiology/biochemistry of mental health

• Internal Family Systems-informed skills

• Narrative Exposure Therapy (Trauma-focused)

• Adlerian therapy, attachment work

• Interpersonal neurobiology and somatic therapy

• Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

• Solution-focused, strengths-based, and mindfulness techniques

Together, these approaches provide practical tools, insight, and support to help clients navigate life’s challenges and work toward meaningful growth.

Another area I am passionate about is teaching. I teach psycho-educational workshops to different groups in the community. I have always had a heart for supporting individuals of all ages and love inspiring and encouraging others to see their full potential.

Outside of work I am married and have two daughters. In my free time I play the bass guitar, paint, travel, exercise, enjoy a good coffee with a pastry and love spending time with my family and friends.
