More about Ronald Carver
I enjoy working with adults, as well as couples and families to collaboratively identify and enhance their strengths while reducing the negative self-talk often associated with depression and anxiety. I use humor, empathy, and compassion in my person-centered approach, while helping people explore short and long-term goals for themselves in their lives. When working with couples, I enjoy helping them learn communication skills so they can reach resolution in conflicts and rediscover their passion for one another. After working many years as a vocational counsellor in the Edmonton / Cold Lake area I have continued to expand on my counselling experience by finishing my Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University.
