Hi/ Oki.
Welcome- I’m glad you’re here.
My name is Cora McDougall-Price. My Blackfoot name is Naatoa’tohkai, which means, holy homecoming, gifted to me in 2012.
I am a skilled Counsellior with over 15 years of experience and have been apart of the Lethbridge Counselling Services team for over 5 years!
Currently, I am a non-certified Professional Member of the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (#3022).
My academic credentials include a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology (Honours) from Memorial University of Newfoundland in 2009 and Master of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of Lethbridge in 2011.
Over the past 15 years, I have been employed and volunteered in a variety of settings: therapeutic schools (Calgary and Lethbridge), non-for-profit and private counselling agencies.
I have extensive experience working with humans who have experienced developmental trauma including issues related to abuse, family and sexual violence, addiction, parenting-in-crisis, child development and safety. I am especially passionate about Indigenous culture and integrating both traditional and non-traditional ways of healing.
Overall, my counselling approach can be described as strengths-based, person-centered and trauma-informed. I integrate strategies from therapies such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Play and Expressive Arts and EMDR to assist my clients in achieving growth and positive change.
In my spare time I am kept (very!) busy with my three children. We love to sing, swim, garden and spend time together in nature exploring and adventuring.
