Individual, Couples & Family Counselling | Edmonton, Alberta
Understanding Emotions. Exploring Relationships. Creating Meaningful Change.
Our emotions influence how we understand ourselves, respond to difficult experiences, make decisions, and relate to others. At times, past experiences, recurring relationship patterns, or overwhelming emotions can leave us feeling stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward.
Therapy offers an opportunity to explore these experiences, gain new perspectives, and develop greater understanding of yourself and your relationships.
At Touchstone Counselling, Linda McFalls, Ph.D., LCSW, RSW, brings more than 30 years of clinical experience to counselling and psychotherapy with individuals, couples, and families. Her approach combines advanced therapeutic training, current research, and an appreciation for the complexity of human emotions, relationships, and lived experiences.

A Thoughtful, Individualized Approach
Therapy is not simply about managing symptoms or changing behaviours. It can also involve understanding how experiences, emotions, and relationships have shaped the ways we respond to ourselves and others. Through thoughtful exploration, emotional processing, and practical therapeutic strategies, counselling can support greater self-awareness, emotional flexibility, improved relationships, and meaningful change.
