Assessment Services
I graduated from Yorkville University with a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology in 2022. I am a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists. In addition to working in a counselling capacity, I was a junior high teacher for over a decade. I have always wanted to help people.
My focus is on creating authentic connections in order to understand who you are as an individual and learn about your experiences. The support of an objective person can help you feel empowered to work through your challenges head on. I appreciate the intersection between mental, physical, and emotional health. I can help you with anxiety, stress, and grief and loss. I offer individual counselling for youth (age 10+), teens, adults, and couples.
I also offer ADHD assessments for teens and adults and Ed Psych assessments for teens and those entering post-secondary education.

Hello! My name is Daylan Driedger and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I have been working in the mental health field since 2016 with both children and adults. I have experience working with school problems such as friendships, bullying, and social problems. I also have experience working with children who may be experiencing a variety of mental health problems, including ADHD, anxiety, grief and loss, mood and emotional regulation, sleep issues, stress, and trauma.
The therapeutic relationship is essential to my practice, and I implement Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my therapeutic approach to help people understand how our thoughts, feelings, and behavior are connected. I also utilize Adlerian Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Play Therapy techniques in my practice.
I emphasize creating a safe and non-judgemental environment for all people regardless of culture, sexual orientation, gender identity, or religion. I am dedicated to helping people make a positive, meaningful difference in their lives and improve their quality of life.

Jacinda Grabas, MA Counselling Psychology
Counselling for children (5+), youth and adults
Jacinda has a Master of Arts in Psychology and Counselling from Yorkville University, is a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association and has training play therapy. Prior to becoming a counsellor, Jacinda spent many years working with youth and their families in the education sector and gained a unique perspective on mental health and wellness.
Jacinda uses Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Play Therapy to assist children, adults, and families in the therapeutic process.
Jacinda believes that a safe, calm, and nurturing therapeutic environment is necessary to explore one’s thoughts and emotions when discussing mental health. Working through life’s struggles can be difficult, but discussing these struggles with a non-judgemental third party can provide you with the clarity and guidance needed to enjoy your daily activities.
Stephanie Marshall, B.Ed., MACP
Counselling for children, youth and adults
Stephanie Marshall, B.Ed., MACP, has more than 12 years of experience supporting children and families. Before becoming a counsellor, Stephanie worked as an elementary teacher in Grande Prairie, giving her a unique understanding of the emotional, behavioural, social, and school-related challenges children and teens can experience.
Stephanie works primarily with children, adolescents, and parents, including young people experiencing anxiety, ADHD, emotional dysregulation, low self-esteem, school-related stress, behavioural challenges, difficult transitions, and big emotions. She also supports parents who are looking for practical strategies, a greater understanding of their child’s behaviour, and ways to strengthen connection at home.
Her approach is warm, collaborative, trauma-informed, and developmentally responsive. Stephanie has additional training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and incorporates age-appropriate skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness, and interpersonal effectiveness into her work. Her background also includes training in childhood trauma, childhood anxiety, mental health, and family systems, as well as experience as a volunteer crisis responder with Kids Help Phone.
Stephanie is currently completing training in Animal-Assisted Therapy and is raising Winston, a Labrador Retriever, with the goal of thoughtfully incorporating him into therapeutic work with children and youth. As his training progresses, animal-assisted interventions may become part of sessions when appropriate and based on each client’s individual needs, goals, and comfort level.
As a counsellor, former educator, and parent, Stephanie understands that children don’t always communicate what they’re experiencing through words. Her work looks beyond behaviour to understand what may be happening underneath it. Sessions may incorporate conversation, movement, play, creative activities, skill-building, and other developmentally appropriate approaches rather than relying solely on traditional talk therapy.
Stephanie’s goal is to create a space where children and teens feel safe, understood, and accepted while helping them develop practical tools to better understand themselves, navigate challenges, regulate big emotions, and build confidence and resilience.
In-person sessions are available in Grande Prairie, with virtual sessions available throughout Alberta.
