Morgan Deeks
Canadian Certified Counsellor - Qualifying
Sometimes it is difficult to reach out for help; I'm here to help you with your journey to healing. I am a registered psychologist in Edmonton, AB. In the past, I have been a teacher and an intensive child/youth care worker; I have always been interested in helping others. I work with individuals, both teens and adults who are struggling with trauma, addictions, OCD, eating disorders, and anxiety. I am passionate about helping my clients understand how the brain works and taking a strength-based approach to developing skills. Together, we can find the power within you.
I am a Canadian Certified Counsellor-Qualifying (CCC-Q) with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), offering one-on-one virtual counselling to adolescents and adults across Alberta. I am passionate about supporting individuals through diverse challenges and believe strongly in the power of connection, compassion, and collaborative growth. As a CCC-Q, I am able to offer counselling at an accessible rate of $130 per session.
My primary therapeutic approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), while also drawing from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and somatic approaches. My work is always grounded in a trauma-informed perspective, and I take an integrative, client-centred approach to counselling. I believe therapy should be tailored to each person’s unique needs, experiences, and goals, allowing us to collaboratively determine what feels most helpful and meaningful for you.
Outside of counselling, I love spending time with my family, friends, and my mini Australian Shepherd, Arlo. I also enjoy staying active, as I believe caring for our minds and overall well-being is incredibly important. These parts of my life help me stay grounded and shape the warmth and authenticity I bring to my work as a counsellor.
Morgan's sessions are $130/hr and she offers a sliding scale.

A Bit About Therapy
Guiding You On the Path of Self-Healing
According to the American Psychological Association, “Psychologists help people of all ages live happier, healthier and more productive lives.” I work collaboratively with you to work through your struggles and to help bring clarity. My manner is friendly, positive, and straightforward. The therapeutic methods that I use are informed by dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) and somatic approaches, such as Hakomi.
