Meet Emma Chi
M.A.C.P., B.A., Registered Provisional Psychologist
Hi there! My name is Emma Chi, and I am a Registered Provisional Psychologist. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Concordia University of Edmonton. I am also a proud professional member of the College of Alberta Psychologists and the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta.
I work exclusively with teens and adults, supporting clients through challenges such as ADHD, grief and loss, stress, depression, trauma and work/life balance. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual’s needs. My goal is to create a safe and comfortable space where clients feel supported and empowered. I see myself as a guide and motivator, helping individuals navigate life’s challenges and achieve their goals.
Clinical Overview
Therapy for Teens & Adults
I have experience working with a wide range of clinical issues, including emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, stress, Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), self-esteem, work/life balance, grief and loss, and trauma. I work with both teens and adults, providing individualized care personalized to each client’s needs.
Believing in the uniqueness of each person, I tailor my approach using a variety of evidence-based therapeutic modalities. With most clients, I focus on emotion regulation, mindfulness, and exploring different coping skills, all while working collaboratively toward their objectives. My therapeutic toolkit includes Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Narrative Therapy, and Psychodynamic Theory. For those who wish to incorporate their faith into their healing journey, I also offer a faith-based approach. Additionally, I am qualified to provide prescriptions for Park Passes to clients within Alberta. These passes aid with offering nature’s benefits for improved mental health and well-being.
As a therapist, I love that I get the privilege of witnessing each client’s healing journey firsthand, whatever that may look like. I think it’s amazing how different therapeutic interventions can truly change someone’s life, and I love that I get to see it happen and celebrate with my clients when it does happen.

A Bit About Me
In my free time, you can find me hiking, biking, reading, or indulging in creative writing. I love exploring different cafes and spending time outdoors with my husband. However, I also cherish quiet days at home with my cat, Cookie.
