Chelsea Wrightson, Registered Psychologist
- Provides general therapy
Chelsea (she/her) values collaboration, authenticity, humour, and adventure, all of which she brings to her work. Her therapy philosophy is guided by the belief that, with the right support, people can connect with their authentic selves and learn to befriend their nervous systems. She believes in the value of exploring how our pasts influence us in the present and how we want to move forward. To support clients to meet these goals, she draws on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), parts work, and other modalities. Chelsea has worked in both the private and non-profit sectors supporting people who have goals related to, amongst other things, trauma, anxiety, relationships, and workplace issues. She has extensive experience working with first responders. Chelsea is a Registered Psychologist with the College of Alberta Psychologists and is a member in good standing with the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta. Chelsea subscribes to the idea that “variety is the spice of life” and has (too) many hobbies, including reading, playing guitar, climbing, hiking, yoga, and travelling. She is a self-described “life-long nerd” who is always looking to learn something new. Her world revolves around her dog, Penny.

Priya Bains, Registered Psychologist & Lead Therapist
- Psychedelic therapy trained
- Provides general therapy
- Provides psychedelic-assisted therapy (call the clinic to book)
Priya has been working in collaboration with clients for nearly 20 years in Alberta. Early in her career, she was introduced to somatic therapy and trauma therapy, which sparked her curiosity about how the body holds psychological burdens and patterns. Her undergraduate degree in neuropsychology shaped her belief that everything psychological is, at its core, biological. As a Certified Hakomi Practitioner, she learned various frameworks for understanding developmental patterns and the “stuckness” clients often experience. Her work is informed by Self-Regulation Therapy, Somatic Experiencing, Attachment Theory, and Hakomi. Her curiosity later led her to explore psychedelic medicine and its potential to facilitate the softening and opening of the unconscious mind, which allows for easier access to these stuck patterns. She has trained with Numinus, Therapsil, Atma Journey, Numa Breathwork, and the Zendo Project, earning multiple certifications in areas such as Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy, Psilocybin-Assisted Psychotherapy, MDMA-Assisted Psychotherapy, Breathwork, and Sitting and Integration Training. Priya cannot be directly booked with as she is only available to clients who access psychedelic treatment services (Ketamine-Assisted Therapy, MDMA-Assisted Therapy, Psilocybin-Assisted Therapy).
Hiedi Yardley, Registered Psychologist
- Psychedelic therapy trained
- Provides general therapy
- Provides psychedelic-assisted therapy (call the clinic to book)
Hiedi offers a northern strengths-based trauma-informed lens when providing therapy and assessment services. Hiedi has 18+ years of experience working with clients in therapeutic areas of justice, education, community mental health & addictions, and private practice. Hiedi specializes in working with persons impacted by trauma using a variety of modalities: AEDP, EMDR, ART, progressive exposure therapy, CBT, and Emotion Focused therapy. She is experienced working with clients impacted by residential school, 60’s scoop, and intergenerational violence and addiction. Additionally, Hiedi can offer individual and group integration as well as preparation sessions for clients interested in psychedelic therapy modalities. Hiedi empowers clients’ strengths and resilience, while identifying the adaptive tendencies (defenses) that helped clients to survive in their lives thus far — but may not be working for them today. Collaboratively, at a pace that fosters safety and transparency, Hiedi encourages growth, healing, and transformation. Hiedi is available to see youth, adults, couples and families. She also does clinical supervision and consultation upon request. Trauma treatment intensives can be arranged.
