Nadia Proano

Registered Psychologist

My name is Nadia Proano, and I’d like to welcome you to Well Workshop.  I am a Registered Psychologist who has been helping children- 9+, youth, adults, and their families navigate life's various obstacles over the past 15+ years.  My professional background includes work in different capacities and environments: government, medical, private, and not-for-profit organizations.

My time with the specialized Learning and Development (L&D) Clinic through Alberta Health Services (AHS) ignited a passion for working with neurodiversity (specifically Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder- ADHD).  I have also developed a keen interest in addressing common issues that co-occur with ADHD such as sleep difficulties and anxiety. 

I integrate many therapies, which allows me to tailor my approach towards your needs.  Approaches include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Solution Focused Therapy (SFT) and/or Narrative Therapy techniques to build compassion and increase clients’ understanding of themselves and others.  EMDR and/or Art, Play, or Sand Therapy techniques are also incorporated as these approaches address an array of issues and assist clients to access and develop less integrated areas of self: body, soul, and mind.

An interpersonal approach to therapy allows me to create a non-judgmental environment of acceptance. My practice is collaborative and strength-based with a focus on solutions, rather than problems. My goal is to support you to realize your strengths and together, source interventions that are helpful to you.
