Join Meg for this episode as she sits down with Dr. Michelle Emmerling, a Registered Psychologist practicing in Edmonton with a PhD in Counselling Psychology from the University of Alberta. She is also a founding member and partner at Red Tree Psychology. Dr. Emmerling also offers professional training and supervision in Emotion-Focused Family Therapy, in addition to workshops for parents and loved ones. 

Dr. Emmerling has professional training and experience working with a diverse range of mental health concerns from a variety of treatment settings.  She has also spent the last 10 years specializing in an exciting and unique approach to working with individuals, couples, and families struggling with eating disorders. 

Dr. Emmerling's therapeutic work considers individual, couple, and family issues from a holistic perspective.  She believes strongly in developing a collaborative relationship in order to create a safe place for her clients to explore and access new understandings of their experience. She also believes that each individual that she works with brings with him or her unique personal characteristics, ways of coping, beliefs, and values. Therefore, she uses interventions from multiple theoretical orientations that are tailored to the individual needs of each person. These include interventions from: emotion focused therapy for individuals and families, somatic experiencing,  mindfulness, existential-humanist therapy, compassion-focused therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.
