Meet Adriana Wiebe
M.C., B.A., REGISTERED PROVISIONAL PSYCHOLOGIST
Welcome! I’m Adriana Wiebe, a Registered Provisional Psychologist at Solace Psychology & Wellness. I hold a Masters degree in Counselling Psychology from City University of Seattle (Edmonton campus) and a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Psychology from the University of Athabasca. I am also a member in good standing with the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta (PAA), the College of Alberta Psychologists and the Alberta Association for Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health.
Clinical Overview
Therapy for Children, Teens, Adults & Families
My goal when working with clients is to go beyond fostering an environment that provides a safe, inclusive and judgment-free space; but also where I can meet clients where they are at and foster a relationship of respect, trust and empathy; regardless of race, culture, age, gender or sexual orientation.
I have an extensive background working with children (ages 7+), teens and adults. I specialize in working with individuals facing challenges related to Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD), attachment concerns, grief and loss, trauma, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), emotional regulation, self-harm, depression and relationship concerns, as well as supporting any person within the LGBTQ2IA+ community.
My approach to therapy is integrative, meaning I tailor my methods to each client’s unique needs. I incorporate elements of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) to provide effective and individualized support. I will work collaboratively with clients to empower them on their mental health and wellness journey by helping them work towards or achieve the goals they have set for themselves.

A Bit About Me
Outside of my work, I love spending quality time with my family and friends—whether that means playing a competitive round of Mario Kart or getting outside to enjoy some fresh air. I believe in the importance of balance and fun in life, and I bring that same energy into my approach to therapy.
